Lola is doing much better. She spent several days sleeping and not eating very much, but now she is eating like normal and is back to playing with toys. Which I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. It’s good because it means she’s feeling better, and I don’t want her to be [...]

back in the saddle
I know I haven’t posted in quite a while. First I was busy, then it just became habit not to write.
But lately I’ve been feeling the itch to write again. So I’m going to try to post more often.
Quite a bit has happened since my last post. Lets see, what to start with….
I lost my [...]

Lola – Weeks 2 & 3
Things aren’t going as well as I had hoped. Over all Lola is still a pretty good dog, and she has definately improved, but she is really used to getting away with stuff and she is constantly trying to push my limits and see if I will catch her in it. Like jumping and pulling on the [...]

Lola – the first week
It has now been a full week since I got my dog Lola. And what a week it has been! I thought I’d give the over all report on how things have changed, and boy have they ever.
Lola was really good the first two days I had her (saturday and sunday the 15th and 16th), [...]

Lola – Day 4
Lola was much better last night. She still tried to grab onto the leash on our walk, but would stop when I told her to. She didn’t spend most of the walk pulling, which was really nice. I still had to correct her, but she didn’t pull all over the place.
I took her for a [...]

frustrating night
Yesterday was a little bit of a bad day with Lola. She was just always doing little naughty things, one thing after another. It didn’t help that I was already tired from a rough night of sleep the night before.
The first thing was that she thinks it’s fun to grab the leash and play tug of [...]

Puppy!
The reason I didn’t blog much last week was because I found a puppy! I went to the humane society on tuesday and totally fell in love. I thought I would just look, but it didn’t turn out that way.
So my new puppy, who I’ve named Lola, is a female german shepherd mix with [...]

The BGK Move
I just realized that I haven’t let you know how the move of my two new Black Ghost Knives, Blake and Devin, into my big tank went!
So here’s what I did to prepare:
I did a big water change in the 55gal, like 25% or more. I also removed about half the water in the 10gal (where the [...]

BGK news
My two new Black Ghost Knife fish, Blake and Devin, are still fighting. Some of the fights are getting pretty nasty. I haven’t seen any serious damage, but there are ripped fins, which I would prefer not to see. Last night they spent most of the night fighting. They will chase each other (actually Devin [...]

More BGK’s!
I got two more Black Ghost Knife fish this weekend, which is the start of my hopeful breeding program. I called around and found a store that had 10 or 15 of them. Most places only have one or two, so that was a really big deal. I had to drive an hour and a half, [...]

silly kitty
My cat Sebastian is one of the most trusting cats I have ever met. Even if he is really scared of something, if I tell him it’s all right he will do his best to face it.
One example: EDITED (because I thought of a better example )
Sebastian had a surgery about a year and a [...]

another short night
My cat Sebastian caught another mouse this morning.
I wonder if mice are really active at 4:30-5:00 in the morning? That or maybe Sebastian is active around that time? He normally either catches them at night (after dark, but before I go to bed), or right about 5am.
It was another young one so I, yet again, woke [...]
