Radio Silence

OH HAI. Yeah, I haven’t been posting a lot.  There’s no special reason; just focusing on reading cheap novels and working at the dog daycare where I’m spending most of my time these days. Dogs are filthy creatures, by the way. There are still a lot of things I want to talk about… I’m just [...]

Reading ‘Confessions of a Pet Store Employee’

Study finds that dogs cause three family arguments a week

Me:  Hey, Mischa, look.  A new study says that dogs cause three family arguments every week. Mischa:  The only argument we have is whether we’re kicking the dog enough. Me:  We don’t kick the dog. Mischa:  That’s what I mean; we’re just not kicking him enough. Tierce:  Am I allowed to weigh in here

Shiba/Shar Pei Cross

We all went to Qualicum Beach to check out one of the dog off-leash parks there. While wandering behind the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre, we met this dog: His owner identified him as a Shiba Shar Pei cross and, while it might be hard to tell from the photos (it was getting dark and my [...]

Fido Casting Call: Ready For Anything

This is one of the many reasons why you should vote for Tierce in the Fido Casting Call contest. You can vote every day! Tierce: What is this? Me: Oh, just the latest Fido Casting Call blog post. Tierce: It’s done. Me: Don’t be so negative. Tierce: I’m not being negative; it’s over. Me: You see? [..
