Happy Birthday Lucy!

today’s a big day in the Becker House– our sweet pup, Lucy Jane, is 7-years-old! so, we made her homemade dog biscuits! Thought I might share the recipe here! Dog Biscuits: 2 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour 1/2 Cup Powdered Milk 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. brown sugar 6 tbsp. margarine […]

Goodbye, THOR.

Tonight we said goodbye to the best dog in the whole wide world. We will miss him terribly, and I may blog more about him later, but for now, I’ll just surround myself in this suddenly empty house, wishing I could once again, hear his three-legged gallop as he happily scampered through our house.

One, Two, THREE Legs for THOR

so, i just posted this picture on instagram LINK so i guess i had better explain myself: back in March i posted about how we were trying to figure out what was wrong with THOR’s back, left leg. He had an accident and then wasn’t walking on it. the new vet thought “CANCER” and wanted […]

Merry Xmas from the Pups

Oh, THOR and Lucy– how your lives have changed… as we anticipated they would. but part of me always thought, “oh, no. they will always be my babies. the arrival of an actual baby won’t change things.” well. i was wrong. my poor, poor, neglected four-legged babes. the other day i was showing off our […]

a taste of spring, and more blood

yesterday was gorgeous. mom and I took advantage of the awesome weather report to take all three dogs (THOR, Lucy and Uncle Neil) on a long walk! and of course, i attempted to take camera phone pictures while trying to hold two leashes. this was the first meeting for THOR and Neil – and THOR […]

I Love My Dog Expo

Saturday, THOR and I woke up early for our shift at the I Love My Dog Expo here in Lincoln! this is the 3rd year for the event and it’s all hosted by Domesti-PUPS.. which, by now, i am sure you all know i LOVE this organization! THOR and i were stationed at the Petting-PUPS […]

in need of a doggy workout

i came home to this last night: Lucy decided that i was gone too long, and needed to take out her aggression on her dog bed. NO, NO, Bad Dog! i lugged out the sewing machine to repair not one, but TWO beds last night. uggh. this cold weather has kept the pups and me […]
