There are days I want to walk my dogs in hip boots and a full-length coat (at least I have the coat, in a muddish shade of brown so the splatters don't show). Dogs and Cats Living Together: Gate Jumpersby Aimee Amodio05 Oct 2009 04:15 PMIn my six month update, I mentioned one of my worst fears: that one of my roommates' cats will jump the gate and encounter the dogs. Well, it's happened. Twice. A quick background for new readers: in January, I moved in with roommates. Roommates who have cats. Moose vs. the Patio Doorby Aimee Amodio18 Aug 2009 05:54 PMMy dog Moose learned a new trick this week... one nobody taught him. I'll start by saying that Moose doesn't seem to be the smartest dog out there. When I first adopted him in January 2004, he was a handful. Adventures of the Brown Ninjaby Aimee Amodio16 Apr 2009 06:49 PMI forget how sneaky and quick my dog Moose can be. Most of the time, he's a slow-moving object. (He isn't nicknamed "Speed Bumpy" for nothing!) But the other morning he pulled a fast one on me, earning a new nickname: the Brown Ninja. Spring Fever: Moose's Versionby Aimee Amodio11 Apr 2009 01:14 PMMy shepherd mix Moose is handling the change of seasons very differently from my boxer mix Lally. Lally welcomed spring with an allergy attack of massive proportions. Pets and Datingby Aimee Amodio13 Mar 2009 02:37 PMDid you see that movie -- Must Love Dogs? A lot of pet parents get concerned when they enter the dating scene: will my special someone accept my pets? Will my pets like the person I'm dating? Moose is Full of Mischief!by Aimee Amodio03 Feb 2009 02:35 PMI guess even dogs can get a wild hair now and then. My dog Moose (a German shepherd mix) has been full of mischief lately! It started a few nights ago. The dogs and I went to bed around ten (our usual bedtime, give or take an hour or so) after one last quick trip outside for piddles. Dogs and Cats Living Together: the Advantage of Heightby Aimee Amodio30 Jan 2009 01:30 PMLittle by little, my dogs and my roommates' cats are getting used to each other. The dogs are mostly polite when the door to the cats' room is open -- they don't bark or whine TOO much, unless I'm in with the cats. Dogs and Cats Living Together: Not What We Expectedby Aimee Amodio21 Jan 2009 10:01 AMBefore my dogs met my roommates' cats, we had lots of talks about how we thought it would go. We discussed the best ways to introduce them, what to do if things went wrong, and our dreams of animal harmony. I thought Lally, my boxer/shar-pei mix, would be the problem child. Dogs and Cats Living Together: Dogs in Residenceby Aimee Amodio13 Jan 2009 08:41 PMWith the help of some very determined (and awesome) friends, I moved into the new apartment this weekend. Moose and Lally were troopers through it all; they acted as official Welcoming Committee for my moving helpers. There was only one attempted escape, much to my surprise and delight.
