The Virgin Queen

M.K. Hobson — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 19:42:05 +0000

Well, apparently my dog is Queen Elizabeth or perhaps just Bette Davis but in any case, she wanted nothing to do with the stud dog we picked out for her. They had a lot of fun running around and playing together, and the stud dog was more than interested but … well … let’s [...]

Orange balls, life lessons

M.K. Hobson — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:30:01 +0000

As you know if you’ve read this blog for any amount of time, these stupid expensive Chuck-it balls have gotten me into a lot of trouble. I lose them, get pissed off about losing them, but still I go out and buy more because the dog likes them a lot. However, today, as I [...]

So most mornings, I take my dog for a walk at one of three places — along the Clackamas River, at Clackamette Park, or to the field behind the Oregon City High School. On weekends, though, it’s kind of nice to mix things up. To that end, I often take Sugar to the dog [...]

One Year Later (Puppy Pix)

I meant to post this yesterday on the actual date, but things got away from me as they so often do. But yesterday was the one year anniversary of the untimely demise of our puppy Butterscotch. We were all a little blue, but we took Sugar Cookie for extra walkies, which was great fun [...]
