Chase was attacked

By | May 8, 2012

On Sunday morning, both Chase and I were walking back to house. I didn’t put Chase on a leash but the collar was on him. I thought since it’s still so early, around 7:20 am, I will let him walk freely back to the house.  Well, lo and behold, here comes the neighbor’s American Bulldog.  [...]

Chasey boy

By | March 27, 2012

Chase is definitely missing Ranger. He has been acting weird couple of weeks before Ranger left us. I had been spending a lot more time with Ranger, i.e. patting, talking, playing, walking and helping him move across the yard back to the house. With Ranger panting so hard, some days Chase goes over to him [...]

We miss Ranger

By | March 27, 2012

We, as in me, DBs and Chase misses Ranger. It’s like when Cooper was put down, the household seems quieter. But then Ranger and Chase were back to normal after 3 days after Cooper’s departure. Ranger: April 1, 1999 – March 23, 2012 You were such a mellow one, no fuss type of dog. If [...]

Ranger bud

By | March 22, 2012

Here’s the scoop with Ranger. We started him on Adequan which is suppose to help with his joints. To be honest, the shots did help his aches and that’s after 3 shots – twice a week. We saw a marked improvement with his gait. He was happily walking and enjoying his walk, sniffing away! Was [...]

A scare

By | March 8, 2012

This is Ranger, taken on Monday, March 6. It doesn’t look bad here, but he was actually in a bad shape. We were coming back from our walk in the afternoon. He was already limping before we went out. I cut short his walk after his afternoon “business”. As we were coming up the road [...]

Just wonder

By | March 6, 2012

This poster was out posted on all mailed boxes along our town home area and on lamp posts.  As you can see it was around January 15, 2012.  The posters were taken down, I don’t see them anymore.  So I wonder does that mean the owners found this handsome fella?  He does look very skittish, [...]

Ranger’s diagnosis

By | February 24, 2012

Here’s the scoop on Ranger. We took Ranger in couple of times to the vet the past few weeks.  Due to him wanting to eat and drink so much, limping, yeast infection in his left ear, and stumbling on his own on our walks, we took him to see Doc M.  Doc did a very [...]

Mr. Ranger

By | January 23, 2012

Mr Ranger is getting very old.  Old in age, yes,  he’s going to be 13 years old in April.  Human age for his weight and size is around 96, that’s what the vet told me.  We think he has some problem inside him, too.  Inside meaning his organs are shutting down.  It’s either his kidneys [...]

Updated: The 2 boys

By | November 8, 2011

To the dogs now.  The two dogs are loving the much cooler weather.  The colder it is out there, there’s less and less panting.  The day temperature so far is around lower 50′s F and evening is down to 40′s F which is really nice for outdoors.  I have been spending a lot of time [...]

Lost tooth

By | October 10, 2011

DB found a tooth in the kitchen, right next to Ranger’s food bowl. We think it’s this guy…. He has been eating slower for a while but then I didn’t pay much attention to him eating.  He always eats fast but not as fast as Chase.  I was paying attention to Cooper then because Cooper definitely was [...]

Fall-ish weather, misc.

By | September 13, 2011

Finally, the temperature is not hovering around the 80′s anymore.  The air conditioning is taking a break, although it had a couple days of rest last week.  The rest of the week’s temperature will hit upper 60′s.  That’s just perfect walking weather.  No rain in sight. Funny how the two dogs has more energy now [...]

Leaving his “fur”

By | September 2, 2011

Couple weeks ago (August 21, 2011) I was walking Cooper on his own and when we got home, I thought I would brush him a little but he was not up to it. He wanted to go inside. Now I know why Before we went in, I saw clumps of hair sticking out from his [...]

Gifts from P

My RCIA coordinator, the doggie lover, gave me these gifts. And a very nice card: This is the “Dog Plea” she told me on Sunday: And a kiddie book on “Dog Heaven” These were beautiful and very meaningful gifts. DB already knows Coops is busy scouting through the fields, running to his heart content knowing [...]

The day and the other 2 dogs

By | August 28, 2011

The day we have to take Cooper to the vet to put him down, Ranger and Chase were super hyper. Ranger especially. He is always laid back, only will move around when we call him. But that day, he was following us after I put Cooper’s collar on. Ranger and Chase were already at the [...]
