HEY DAD! WE FIXED IT! – Marilyn Armstrong

Oh, how wonderfully familiar this looks. The cast of miscreants so cute you can't yell at them ... so destructive it takes your breath away! They're worse when they work as a pack. But they love you, they really, really love you.

PEST PEEVES: ABOUT THOSE MOUSES … Marilyn Armstrong

PEST PEEVES? WE HAVE PLENTY! We started out humanely. Traps to take them out to the woods without hurting them. They strolled back inside as soon as they were let go. It was obvious our kindness was not reciprocated. We gave up nice and put out real traps. We knocked off a few dozen mice, but … Continue reading PEST PEEVES: ABOUT THOSE MOUSES … Marilyn Armstrong

SATURDAY SCOTTIES

What happens when you've got a couple of cute Scottish Terriers, lots of cameras, and the sun is shining? Photography! Pictures of (you guessed it) Scottish Terriers. Bonnie and Gibbs, on a Saturday in September. Obviously exhausted from a hard day of cadging biscuits and battling throw cushions. It's a hard life, but someone's gotta do … Continue reading SATURDAY SCOTTIES

FIGHTING – THE SCOTTY WAY!

Scotties are tough little dogs. Fighters to the end. Bonnie tests every limit. Unless there's food forthcoming. In which case, she sets aside her principles in favor of a Greeny, or one of those tasteless crunchy things dogs inexplicably love. Otherwise, she will wait until she thinks you might be getting mad before she does as you ask. Gibbs acts exactly the same … Continue reading FIGHTING – THE SCOTTY WAY!

NAN GOT A HAIR CUT

Our of a mound of hair, our groomer carved a lovely Norwich Terrier. Nan, showgirl that she was, has been preening ever since we brought her home from her beauty date. Nan is the only dog I've ever known who seems to genuinely like being groomed. She's been strutting around the house, posing. She's adorable.

GOOD MORNING, ARF

They love me for myself alone. It's not the treats, it's pure affection. Well, maybe a bit of biscuit too. Bonnie is beginning to look like a rag-bag. Time for her summer "do." Nan also. But first, It's Greenie time. Just ask them!

WHAT TO DO ON A RAINY DAY

Ask Nan. She knows. Cold? Drizzly? Perfect time to catch up on your sleep. Of course, that's more or less her answer to everything, except for short excursions into the kitchen in the hope of cadging something tasty. Like a dry biscuit or a fallen piece of lunch meat (mm!). Bonnie, not to be out done, … Continue reading WHAT TO DO ON A RAINY DAY

HARD NIGHT FOR SMALL DOGS

Clearly exhausted by a long night of barking and sleeping on the sofas, Nan and Bonnie display the playful enthusiasm which characterizes our terriers.  

DOGS FIND KITTEN BOWL UNDER-WHELMING

Other people's dogs are forever doing cute things. As far as I can tell, they always do their cute stuff when there's sufficient light to get a sharp picture. Not my kids. Uh uh. If they do anything cute, the camera is in the other room. Or the light is terrible. If I have a … Continue reading DOGS FIND KITTEN BOWL UNDER-WHELMING

MY FUNNIEST DOG PHOTOS

I can be accused of many things, but a lack of tenacity or determination? No way. I do not give up. I don't give up even when it's obvious I don't have a snowball's chance in Hell. I don't give up when I'm bleeding on the floor and the referee is about to say 10. You get … Continue reading MY FUNNIEST DOG PHOTOS
