Addiction
To the left, to the left
…everything I chew with my teeth on the left. What I forgot to mention in the earlier post about my cracked tooth is how ironic it is that I have two cracked teeth on the side of my face that I have been babying for more than two years. Remember my TMJ? While I haveContinue reading “To the left, to the left”
We’ve started calling her Frito Feet
…and she’s started lying down on command, without my having to shove her (very hard).
Slow learner
Isis does not seem to be deterred by any of the training techniques we’ve tried to get her to mouth softly. She’s still teething, but the pup doesn’t know her own strength.

Baby’s got teeth
For those of you who wondering how my dog could carry around that soccer ball without piercing it… She can’t. Rob got her a new one.

I just found a coupla websites that argued that the prong or “pinch” collar is safer and more humane than your standard choke, but that’s not why I made the switch. She wasn’t responding to corrections with the choke chain. Look, sheContinue reading “I never thought it would come to this”
Can’t get enough of my dog?
Me either. She’s still my favorite model, although once again I was looking the wrong way when the best photo opportunity of the day presented itself. I had her on a 20-foot lead, which allows her to do whatever she wants as long as she’s within 20 feet of me — it’s part of herContinue reading “Can’t get enough of my dog?”
