June 4th… one year of acclimating after North shifted to another realm. Our neighbors hear him howl, still. Zoey, our 14 year old dat (not a typo), was born in June but we have no specific date. Henceforth, her birthday is June 4th. She continues to do her best being our watch cat. We realizedContinue reading “It could be yesterday…”

Deeper Beneath the Cone of Silence-
I have most of 4 days under my belt. The hours of continued silence have decreased from 168 to 58. It’s a true social experiment, particularly coming from a Speech Pathologist.

HeContinue reading “The Winters of the Malamute & Introducing our Dat”

There is No Headhumping in Heaven…whaaat?
North was never an every dog’s dog. We moved passed trying to figure out ‘where we went wrong’. The big guy had some embarrassing and not delightful habits. Many dogs butt sniff but North found crotch sniffing women far more appealing. Age was not a criteria…40, 70 no matter. 😳 Probably most face palming wasContinue reading “There is No Headhumping in Heaven…whaaat?”
