Tommy gets busted

Tommy stays off the furniture usually when we are home, but it seems that when we go away he makes himself comfortable.

The hounds unloads like a military movement.

Bullet gets very excited about rides in the van.

Meet the Cobblepots

Tommy, Zoe and Glow. I call them the Cobblepots, because their father was Oswald Cobblepot.

Cobblepot reunion

Tommy and Glow were reunited with their sister Zoe (No Barking Zone) at Lisa Kadow's place. Zoe has had some sort of stroke and seems to be recovering slowly. She really perked up when her brother and sister got there.

Glow, Bullet and Bliss start racing around in the yard. This is the day after Glow had that strange event.

Glow 2 hrs after her event

Glow was up and feeling normal after a short time. We aren't sure what caused it.

Glow has some sort of stroke

Glow had some sort of stroke that made her limp on her right rear leg first and then it went to her front right leg. She was panting and very disoriented. I gave her an aspirin and after about an hour she appeared normal with no side effects.

Bullet gets a Dental

Bullet looked funny all drugged up after his Dental. His tongue was hanging out.

Rester vs Racer

Tommy has left his racing career way behind him.

Art imitates Life

Bullet and Bliss check out the yard for insurgents (squirrels).

Tommy fixes his bed

Tommy likes to make his bed a special way and will not stop until it is just right.

Tommy discovers the sofa

After five years of staying off the furniture, Tommy decided it was time to give it a try.

Glow has her turn at the mulch pile

Glow seems to take this mulch pile seriously. She acts like she has a plan as to how she wants it to look.

Bullet has Mulch Pile Madness

The hounds love the mulch pile and they are great little farmers keeping it turned over.

Tommy and Glow

Tommy and Glow catch some sun on the patio. They are starting to show signs of aging. They both seem to have stiff joints. Glow seems worse than Tommy, so we are giving her Tramadol to help relieve the pain.

Another use for the DIY Pill Gun

Glow needs to take Tramadol for joint pain and I discivered i can use the pill gun as a cheeze cutter. I push the pill gun into the cheeze and cut out a plug. I then push the pills into the hole. Glow gobbles it up fast. I push the cheeze plug out with the plunger to clean it.

Stephanie's tail wound

This is how the wound looked on 7-26-2010.
