, originally uploaded by Gavatron. The Griffaroo turned 14 weeks this Saturday and we’ve been living with him for the last four of those. When we brought him home, he was certainly very puppy-like and he continues to be: ankle-biting, mouthing and all that good puppy stuff. Compared to Ollie, he certainly was (and is) […]
and Griff is his name. This is Border Terrier number two for us.
My challenge: to take Ollie (at the time, a five-month-old Border Terrier puppy) on our regular summer sea-kayaking trips on Georgian Bay. Canoeing with a dog is easy. Kayaking with a dog seemed a bit more difficult. So I dreamt up a contraption that would allow Ollie to join us on these kayaking trips. Thanks […]
Ollie & siblings at 8 weeks, originally uploaded by Gavatron. Heather, Ollie and myself had a great little experience this morning–we met (Heather & Ollie for a second time and me for the first) Fozby, one of Ollie’s litter-mates (or, as Max, Fozby’s alpha-male, refers to the two of ’em: “the Beavertown Boys”). The two […]
The fur is dead. Long live the fur!, originally uploaded by Gavatron. Ollie is a new dog, now that we’ve finished stripping him.
Petfinder.com is a great way to find dogs available for adoption and in fact, Herbie was found with Petfinder’s help! Usually they have some sappy description about the dog that is completely irrelevant to the dog’s demeanour (something along the lines of what celebrity a dog looks like, for example). I was looking to see […]
Check it out. And here are his puppy photos featured on the same site. I’m proud to say that Ollie has received 10.4 biscuits out of 11 with over a thousand votes!
Lee, Katie and I had a discussion a ways back on the use of plastic bags for picking up dog shit. Our chat was along these lines: Given that plastic bags seem to be the easiest way to do pick shit up, and since plastic bags seem to be symptomatic of our “convenience today for […]
Ollie on his new grass bed, originally uploaded by Gavatron. This is Ollie’s new grass bed. He loves it. It’s a dishpan that I drilled full of holes in the base, added soil and some shade-loving grass seed. Add a little water, and a few days later (4 days), you see the results above. I […]
As you can see from the photo above, Ollie passed his puppy obedience class. We’re all so proud of him (too bad he can’t read yet). If you follow the photo above, Dad’s got a nice set of pictures from the whole class. Originally uploaded by corbeau_du_nord.
