Ahhhh. That is a good stretch. Come over here and rub my belly Buddy.

Not until you put some pants on big boy- Buddy Love

No hot cars for dogs....

Australia is very dog friendly and I saw this sticker there.  They have dog beaches, outdoor cafes that allow dogs, and very few strays.

Watch for dogs in the hot Spring and Summer in every country.

Helpful Health Tip

Did you know dogs can now have Stem Cell Therapy?  The vet uses the dogs own fat cells to make the stem cells and injects them into the area that is damaged like joints, ligaments and cartilage.  Almost all dogs see some improvement over the span of 4-6 months.

It is used mostly for older dogs (instead of hip replacement surgery) and costs much less at around $1800 per procedure.  It is also less traumatic for the dog patient.

So if you have a pet with arthritis, or joint issues, that is in pain...AND they have a lot of good life otherwise left in them....check into a vet that offers this new technology.

Happy Running to all.

Hi there.

My name is Frankie and this big-boned gal is my Maggie.  She's my better 3/4ths you might say.  But I love my big girl except at feeding time- I sometimes have to show my teeth to keep the ole girl at bay.  And yes, that is just her collar that makes her hips look big.- Frankie

Rounding error

Those of you in business are familiar with this term. Today I was out picking up poop in the yard. I am used to large dogs, large piles.  As I am almost done walking the yard, I realize I haven't found any "Buddy" poop (small Boston Terrier).  Then it dawns on me that with an acre yard, big dogs, and plenty of trees/natural area- Buddy's poo is simply a rounding error....too small to matter.

I kinda feel like it is the same thing with the number of dogs.  If you have 4 big dogs, what is one more small one? Who notices? And scary, but I have left one behind on more than one occasion!    I would not be a good bus driver, counting to make sure all the children are present. Bus seems full, let's go!

 This is Super Buddy!  He secretly LOVES his new cape.

This is Sam. Looking to turn my grass yellow, or brown. Just depends.  You can trip on Sam's poops and hurt yourself.

Magazine covers

Loved visiting Western Australia and was very impressed with how well they take care of their pets- exercise, animal rights, very few strays.  Here are a couple of general magazines with dogs on the cover in December.

However, I want my Aussie hat and my snorkel mask back!

Bitch please....

Do I LOOK like I want to golf?

Now be a sweetie and take me back home so I can go inside where it is warm.- Buddy

It was chilly....

So I climbed under the covers.  Unfortunately for my bed mate, I fart in my sleep. Whoops about that.

I can't see back here dang it.

What the hell did we just hit? Could it be a cat?- Diego
