You know how German shepherds (and other dogs) cock their heads in that crazy cute way when you say certain things? For some unknown reason Brian always cocks his head when we say, "Lime tree." And last night we've obviously trained our daughter to do the same thing.

Aww. Thats cute.
We do that with Bugsy all the time. Just say a bunch of random words to him until we get a response... One of Bugsy's words is "Buffalo"

our last golden, shelby, used to do the head cock for "san diego" and "barbara wawa"

Gracie got to go out on the town tonight

"I want some wings; I want some beer"

I don't know what it is with the whole head tilt thing and why it is that pugs as a group seem extra prone to it. But Harley will tilt the opposite way with every question that you ask him. He isn't in this group but he would be tilting right along with them.

And Miss Gracie looks the picture of health. I hope she got a little bit of wings and beer.

Norm - you always manage to get the best backdrop for your pictures. Norm... the mountain dog

Bugsy is in surgery today having some tumors removed. House seems so empty without him right now :( Even the cat misses him...

One of my dogs did the cutest thing today...I was heading out the door to go grocery shopping, now as silly as this sounds I even say bye to my dogs . I said "bye, I'll get you some treats" and I kid you not, my girl did a perfect beg and waved her two paws at me, like this:



As a joke, sometimes I'll wave my hand at her and try and get her to wave a paw in the air at me, but I wasn't even trying to get her to do that.

OK, that is just TOO CUTE! Clever doggie.

And I'll bet you're the ONLY person who posts in this thread who says goodby to their dogs when they go out.

hard to believe, I know.

gracie is at the vet, as I type, for her LAST chemo . kind of bittersweet, tho, because now it seems like we have done all we can do for her incurable cancer :( . please send your vibes for the longest remission EVER!!!!



"hey, little mister macho man, why you barking at ME??"

norm

oh gracie will be around for a long time, frustrating his dad constantly

norm

speaking of frustrating, after 7 years of having a happy traveler, norm no longer like long car rides...he goes into full anxiety attacks...he always rides in the far back in my jeep but now once he knows it's gonna be a long trip, he climbs over the backseat and joins me up front...then he tries to either lie on top of me or get under my seat...all while we're going at highway speeds...the best i've been able to do with him is to get him to curl up on the passenger side floor...but he still is freaked out...so for a 5 hour drive, he is panting and generally nervous the whole way

so i got a thundershirt...seems everyone has had success with one of those...nope, didn't faze norm...so i asked my vet for a sedative but she told me she doesn't want to prescribe him one because he is hypothyroid (which i didn't know)...her only advice was to give him benadryl but i'm not sure how well that'll work

anyone have any advice as to how to calm norm down

yanni? :?

seriously.....gracie used to get uptight in codie's car (not mine...I'm a stellar driver ) and the vet prescribed some $9 pill. it was kind of ridiculous but they didn't want to prescribe plain ol' dramamine. thankfully, gracie outgrew her anxiety pretty quickly.

good luck with norm....I know he's your traveling buddy.

try the benadryl. as part of igby's ongoing cancer treatment, he takes HALF a pill every morning, and it puts him into a puppy coma. couple hours later, he's his usual happy, pug self. i strongly recommend. also, PLEASE get norm a seatbelt or seatbelt tether. thank you.
