Healing fine

Seven to ten days have passed since Maggie’s surgery and she’s almost healed up completely. It was tough to keep her quiet and not running/jumping around, but I think she’s well enough to start chasing her rope around the yard again.

She’ll be happy to get rid of the lampshade; We ended up putting it on . . . → Read More: Healing fine

Spayed, Tacked, and Chipped

Big day for Maggie yesterday; She went in for major surgery.
Since she’s almost 6 months old, it was time to get her in to be spayed. I really don’t think there’s a decision point for fixing dogs other than ‘do you want to breed your dog?’. I’ve heard(read) some arguments that people want to leave the . . . → Read More: Spayed, Tacked, and Chipped

Still taking her out every hour and a half or so, but she is sleeping through the nights pretty good. She knows where to ‘do her business’ but then again, . . . → Read More: Post holiday Maggie.

We got a dog!

And what a dog! She’s tiny now… bout 14 lbs… but she’ll be almost an order of magnitude heavier than when full grown. (about 135lbs I’m told)

New Tires

Well, I finally pulled the pin and bought some new skins for the truck.
Following the advice of my good buddy Danno I picked up some BF Goodrich All Terrain T/As

They look pretty cool, and performed excellently on the 10 minute drive home from the . . . → Read More: New Tires

Pretty good seats…

So wifey was rewarded for all her hard work again… she works for the best company evah! They gave her two tickets to an NHL game. The game was Leafs Vs Senators…
Now I’m not the biggest hockey fan, but this was just amazing!
As always, click the pics for a larger size.
