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.

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 […]

The Big Reveal – part 1

Okay- no baby yet… but 11 days until the due date. (though, i swear i will go over… start placing your bets now, folks!) and i apologize to my Reader, for keeping you on pins and needles, i am sure, awaiting the Big Reveal of how the nursery turned out. it all started here with […]

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 […]

And then it was LOVE

five years ago today, a Boy introduced me to his dog. that’s when i knew i was in love!

One, Two, Free Thor!

So, back at this post i mentioned that there is a good story that goes along with THOR’s Halloween Costume for this year. Now is as good of a time as any to explain. Note: THOR was AJ’s dog well before I came into the picture. And in his first three year of life, he […]

Theraputic THOR

Last night, THOR and I did our first Domesti-PUPS “Petting-PUPS” therapy session. We took a trip to the Windcrest Assisted Living Community, and had a GREAT time. THOR really latched on to his new job. He was so excited when i got out his red “Training” bandana, and hopped right into the car: i feel […]

SUCCESS

whew. OMG. YIPPEE!!!! THOR and I are now an Official Domesti-PUPS “Petting PUPS” Therapy Team In Training! Saturday morning, we got up early, had a good breakfast, leashed up (with Lucy in tow… well, or… towing us!) and went for a good walk/jog/mini-training session. It. Was. Hot… and the session didn’t go as well as […]

nerves

THOR and i have our Domesi-PUPS test tomorrow at 10:30am. i’m a bit worried… mostly because I, as trainer, have not put in the time and effort. but, it’s time, and we will see how we do. Keep your paws crossed.
