We’ve all seen or at least heard about that awful 1996 Fox show, When Animals Attack, right? Well, it’s not often that one gets the privilege of having one’s own dog star in the remake. This morning was quite the adventure in dog parenting. First, Stella wakes up Jen at 5am. The only times she […]

It is not often that I am so fuming with anger before 7am and screaming profanities. But Happy’s pissing on the living carpet (again!) will do that to me. He only managed to leak a little bit, but it’s getting ridiculous. Sure, he drank a ton last night, but we took him out twice — […]

With two fur children to take care of for years to come, this online vet resource could come in quite handy.

It’s been a whirlwind couple days with Happy Dingo (hard for it not to be). Yesterday evening Jen kept insisting that she smelled shit as we sat in the living room watching TV. She does this funny thing where she smells the heads of the dogs to determine if they’ve rolled in shit (which Stella […]

Happy’s here at work with me this afternoon. It’s so refreshing to have a dog who actually likes people and who doesn’t try to attack other dogs in passing. He’s just chillin’ on the floor of my office right now. He’s a really good officemate, unlike Stella Brie. My nervousness has subsided since this morning’s […]

Yesterday was an exciting and exhausting day for everyone. Bobby has officially been renamed Happy Dingo McGee and he’s quickly settling in and getting used to living here. Stella has had her bitchy moments, of course, but she’s getting better. She’s still guarding all her stuff, but hopefully that will fade with time.

Today is a big day for me, Jen, and Stella Brie. We all just returned from the Marin Humane Society where we spent some time with Stella’s future brother, Split. He’s a spunky little border collie mix whose name will be changed to Bobby McGee. He and Stella got along excellently and had a great […]

Happy Jamaican Independence Day. I need to keep thinking of the enviably chill state of Jamaicans on this day of the country’s 40th anniversary of freedom from British rule. Urine on the living room floor. Dog fight in the hallway. Big ornithophobic Russian man in the kitchen. Shriveled carcass of fish creature on the perimeter […]

This morning I awoke bright and early at 5:30am for a 6am conference call with a customer with offices in Germany and the UK. Of course, there are inevitably network and technology problems whenever something important like that is scheduled to occur. I wasn’t the one who was leading the meeting, but still, it doesn’t […]
