Ramblings of the Crazy Dog Lady

Monday, August 10th, 2009 | Dogs

I am the Crazy Dog Lady, just in case you were wondering.

I did a lot of fun, random things this weekend. So I figured I’d just ramble a bit. Read at your own risk.

Friday was great! It rained, which was annoying, but we had some friends from Big Dogs Porch over, some with dogs, and some without. Indy, Gryffin & Beowulf got to hang out with Basja the Dane and Rufus the Saint. The rain caused the dogs to be lazy, so not a lot of play. But the humans did take a trip with all dogs to get some ice cream. I had a comment from my neighbor the next day that they loved the “dog parade” that went by her house on the way home.

Saturday was fun for the humans. Hubby and I went to Goombay Bash and left the dogs at home overnight with the dog sitter. They had tons of fun without us. They never seem unhappy or anything when return from a trip, as long as we use this particular dog sitter.

Sunday morning, we stuck around in the city for a little bit after breakfast. We went to go meet Bosley the Swissy and help him and his human. You see, Bosley, who is just over a year old, has not really had the opportunity to ride in cars. His last trip was 6 months ago, and he cried in the cab all the way to the vet. So we thought we’d help him and his human out a bit since we were right there. We drove over and had the air conditioning blasting, not only because it was in the 90s out, but we wanted to make it a nice, cool and happy place so Bosley would want to jump in. Bosley was happy that these new people gave him love, treats and a squeaky toy. After his human got in the car on one side, I was able to persuade him to join her on the back seat. We drove around for about 15 minutes, then we let them go. I’m very glad we were able to help, and we’ll have to try again the next time we’re down!

On a completely non-Swissy related note, I would like to pass on my condolences to two of our Big Dogs Porch friends. First, Dreams Red, White N’ No Blue, aka Susie the Beagle, passed away today from wounds sustained in a coyote attack. Second, after a long and valiant fight, Buddy the Saint Bernard was lost to bloat last night. Both families are hurting, so please send them your good thoughts.

Happy Monday.
