Play Date

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Last weekend, Gambit had an exciting play date. We met up with Rusty at the dog park! He didn’t let me pet him when we arrived, which I expected since he hadn’t seen us in two months. He let my husband … Continue reading →

Dogs at work

Posted on October 25, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Gambit and Eddie don’t just lounge around all day. They earn their keep, constantly on the lookout for pesky groundhogs, feral cats, and the occasional escaped dog. Recently, they’ve become very good at barking once then sitting quietly by the … Continue reading →

Caption this: Gambit’s sweater

Posted on October 16, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Gambit is very happy with the warmth of his new sweater. I think he looks quite scholarly in it. What do you think he’s trying to say here?

Cold weather blues

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

It’s not cold enough for the heat to kick on, but sure enough, someone is miserable. Good thing he doesn’t live up north. Gambit spent a good bit of time whining at Eddie, who had the blanket on the floor, … Continue reading →

Doggie Sports

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Our dogs don’t take part in real dog sports. I would love to do agility training with Gambit. It’s just not in the cards at the time being, and neither is pseudo-agility training since we don’t have a sufficient yard and … Continue reading →

Playing Dress Up

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Gambit was very fortunate that last winter was a very warm one. He had no undercoat and quite a few missing patches of fur, and spent the cool fall huddled under blankets and curled up in the tightest little ball. … Continue reading →

Leave It

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

“Leave it” is probably my favorite obedience command for the dogs. Food on the table, a toy they’re trying to eat, something they want to investigate on the ground – it works for just about anything.

Trickery

Posted on September 1, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Last night, it actually cooled off a bit without raining, so Gambit and I took a little trip to the dog park. He hasn’t gotten to play with other dogs much since Rusty moved out. Eddie isn’t quite sure how … Continue reading →

Rusty’s Play Date

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

The morning before Day 3 of Spittoono, Rusty had a serious conversation about his future with my family. The most important concern was the fact that his foster grandparents’ voices were coming out of this strange plastic box. On Saturday, … Continue reading →
