someone adopt this dog
In: Foster Pets| Photos| Riley
17 Feb 2010Seriously, because if you don’t, I’m probably going to cave and do it. Yes, I know we’ve only had him for a week, but c’mon. LOOK AT THAT FACE.
But here’s why I won’t adopt him. Riley’s not a fan. At all. The General, Riley, Kentucky and I are all sitting in the bedroom, which is [...]
well enough to hawk a loogey
In: Riley
12 Jan 2009Is that even how you spell hawk a loogey?
I’ve received so many different messages today – voicemails, Facebook comments, emails – just to see how Riley was doing. I’m so glad that not everyone thinks I’m retardedly insane when it comes to my dog. He’s just my baby, ya know? And thank you to everyone [...]
your nightly dog update
In: Riley
11 Jan 2009Riley saw his (and my) favorite vet today. She took great care of him. All of his tests are concerned levels are just a shade above where they’re supposed to be. He’s responded extremely favorably to being rehydrated via IV.
He’s so tired now. Not in a lethargic way, but more of a “Jesus, just let [...]
an update on the mutt
In: Riley
11 Jan 2009Getting a dog to sit still so he can be hooked up to an IV overnight is not one of the easiest things I’ve ever done. We got through about 3/4 of the first bag before Riley ripped the catheter out. He was fast asleep and then all of a sudden jumped off the couch, [...]
riley’s urine and his bladder and his kidneys
In: Riley
10 Jan 2009On Thursday, The General and I noticed Riley being weird. Not weird like wanting to carry around a ball of yarn all day, but weird like sticking to The General’s side like glue. A trip to the bathroom by The General, meant Riley was going to sit on the bathroom rug, which is located four [...]
just a friendly reminder
7 Jan 2009Tomorrow is the last day you can vote for Riley in the Star Tribune’s Dog Photo Contest. In case you’re bored or anything, that is.
Look how worried he is that you might not vote for him!
i’m that kind of dog owner
30 Dec 2008The time has come for me to completely exploit my puppy, and I’m not too proud to do it. But c’mon, I’ve paid for his food and health insurance three and a half years – it’s time he pays me back!
There are 6536 dogs in the competition, including 49 not nearly as cute dogs named [...]
he needs a ravelry account too
9 Nov 2008We just got back from two hours at Spin Cycle, our favorite local laundromat. Two hours seems like a hell of a long time to spend with laundry, but considering we did at least twenty loads of laundry, I can’t complain too much. I’m glad my clean work clothes will soon be on hangers, as [...]
