Wordless Wednesday
Optical Illusion
As BlogPaws 2015 kicks off, things might be a little busy for a couple days! I’ll definitely check in with news and highlights from the conference, but I wanted to leave you with a little bit of a Wordless Wednesday (though I’m incapable of a post without words, apparently). Since Lucas’ surgery, there have been …
Winter wear (or, spring can’t get here soon enough)
I briefly mentioned on Monday that we’re trying to put weight on Cooper. He is really under-weight. He’s all points and knobs. One of the big problems making this even worse for him is the weather. Today’s high? 15. The low? -6. Without a single drop of fat on him, Cooper is fr-fr-freezing. His fur fuzzes …
Ommm: Coop centers himself with doga

Siblings
For the past few days, I’ve altered my work habits immensely. I’ve had a cold and, being a huge baby about it, moved all my work under covers and blankets. And I’ve noticed something that is both sweet and peculiar: Among these siblings, they are nearly always paired up for a snuggle. Usually two of …
What… is… that? Another not-quite-wordless Wednesday post!
“Lady, I don’t want to alarm you, but I think something is under there.” “Ohmigosh! Look! There IS something under there! But what could it be? Stay calm. I’ll figure it out.” “Can I walk on it? Yep.” “Can I poke at it? Sure can.” “What… is… it?” “I know! I’ll be brave. I’ll stick …
Barking at the door excitement
Welcome to day 3 of Bark Week, which happens to be Wordless Wednesday (which, as you know by now, I can never accomplish). If you need to catch up, day 1 was all about how to get your dog to stop barking on cue, and day 2 focused on demand barking. For today’s installment, I …
Wordless Wednesday: My sewing assistant
I’ve been working furiously on the herd’s costumes. Thankfully, I’ve had oversight. Before I started and things were still neat and tidy: In the midst of the project: Honestly, I think I’d be finished by now if Newt didn’t constantly nap on my craft supplies. There’s one piece left to make (Newt’s accessory…) …
Mine! All mine!
Before we left Louisiana, some friends were getting rid of their fire pit. It needed TLC and elbow grease, so we brought it to Indiana with us, sanded it, cleaned it, then repainted it. And it’s been sitting on our patio ever since because, also before we left Louisiana, we got rid of our patio …
New Uses for Old Things: Wordless Wednesday (with lots of words)
A long time ago, before Cooper, I wrote a review of the Neater Feeder. At that time, it worked perfectly for us. Eventually, with the arrival of Coop and the need for both Cooper and Emmett to eat from slow-down-feeders, the Neater Feeder became our watering hole. It works well because I can keep two …
The herd tries a water fountain
Disclaimer: Please excuse the un-vacuumed doormat. We have a weird water situation in our kitchen, so we always give the herd filtered water. We got this PetSafe water fountain, but we’re always cognizant of the potential for a fear reaction. Here’s how it went down: The herd tries a water fountain from Maggie Marton on Vimeo. …
Have they adjusted to the tiny backyard?

You know how the covers need to be just right before you can go to sleep?

Wordless Wednesday: Putting on the ritz
A little background (making this not quite wordless… oops…): John decided to teach Lucas doggy dancing. Lucas needs low-impact outlets for exercise, and he’s a smarty pants who loves to learn. It seemed like the perfect fit. They were having SO much fun! Lots of laughing and tail wagging. But, life intervened, and John ran …

Wordless Wednesday with a Song
Remember our friend Matt, the fiddler? Well, turns out he plays the harmonica, too… and, coincidentally, the harmonica is Lucas’ favorite instrument! Lucas and the harmonica from Maggie Marton on Vimeo.
