"Life without Murphy? Where did he go?" The Surgery We dropped him off at the specialist's office early Wednesday morning for his paw surgery. Pet Tattoosby Aimee Amodio12 Jun 2008 08:23 PMI was paging through a recent edition of BARK magazine and couldn't help but notice a feature article about pet tattoos. Not tattoos FOR pets -- people who get tattoos of their pets. The Day Miko Picked Meby Aimee Amodio25 Apr 2008 10:34 AMApril 25th, 2000 is the day that I went to Jersey Shore Animal Center in Brick, New Jersey to pick out a dog. My dog. The first dog that wasn't a family dog -- he or she would be mine and mine alone. For weeks before I went to the shelter, I had been dreaming about dogs. Big dogs, mostly. Looking Backward: Shashiby Aimee Amodio20 Mar 2008 09:05 AMWhen I was a very little girl, my mother still had her German shepherd dog, Shashi. At least... that's what we all called her. Her official name was Wildwoods Scheherazade, and she was a purebred, papered, pedigreed shepherd my mom had bought after she graduated college. Squirrel Appreciation Week: Remembering Rudy Firstby Courtney Mroch11 Oct 2007 02:50 PMEarlier this year I wrote about how what you think about grows and how thoughts attract things. In that case it was how Murph must think about nice people and pets because he always seems to attract them. But it's happened to me before too. Miko's Personality Flawby Aimee Amodio11 Sep 2007 05:07 PMFour years ago today, my dog Miko passed away peacefully in his sleep. I've mentioned him here before -- his adventures at the dog park, how he picked me out at the shelter, and our last days together. Murphy and Kitty and a Hurricane Named Francesby Courtney Mroch03 Sep 2007 08:47 PMJust as September always reminds me of hurricanes, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to spend another Labor Day Weekend without remembering Labor Day 2004. Lights Out, Uh Huh, Dance, Dance, Dance! At one p.m. on Labor Day 2004 the electricity went out. In Memoriam: Jacques Cousteauby Courtney Mroch25 Jun 2007 03:36 PM"When you dive, you begin to feel that you're an angel." ~Jacques Cousteau Before there was the "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, there was Jacques Cousteau. Heck, the Steve Irwin's of the world may have come to be because of Jacques Cousteau. Tabby, Murphy, and Mr. Meow: What If...?by Courtney Mroch10 May 2007 03:13 PMSome mornings, like today, I wake up crying. Not from grief or sadness, but from an immense pressure of love swelling up in my whole heart. What sparks it? Usually Murphy, Tabby, and Mr. Meow, but even Wayne's regularly the cause of this feeling. In Memoriam: Budly Wallaby Rooby Courtney Mroch23 Apr 2007 12:06 PMToday I'm reminded of something I touched on briefly in My Life With Dogs, Part Two: the death of our dog Budly. It happened on this date in 2000. Except it was Easter Sunday back then. What would become a very, very sad Easter. I can't believe it's been seven years already.

"You might want to start with the three suggestions above: 1) Make sure it isn't a physical problem, like a bladder infection. 2) Make sure your dogs are getting plenty of quality time with the humans. 3) Try a pheromone spray -- they can be comforting and calming." |
