Wordless Wednesday

Car ride!

or nap time?

Im just big boned...

Taricha and I wandered into our vet the other day. We were a little overdue for vaccinations, Taricha took her shots with an easy stride. Infact the only thing she noticed going on was the lack of treats being fed to her. 

The exciting part of the vet's office is finagling Taricha onto the scale, holding her still and waiting for the big number to stop moving. She weighed in at a whopping 101lbs at one year and eight months old.

At which point the vet and two different techs decided to tell me that she's getting fat and should consider changing her food and lightning things up.  Whaaaaaat! No!

I admit that over this summer she's put on a lot of thickness.... a lot of meat if you will. She's.... solid. But I guess I chocked a lot of it up to her breed... American bulldogs tend to be very WIDE dogs...

Infact all her thickness makes for a great pillow...

For now we're not changing anything drastic but I have cut out a minute amount of daily kibble and watched her more closely to be sure she isnt ninja'ing the other dogs' food. (Which is left out all day every day per roommates request.) 

Taricha and I celebrated our first year together recently. Happy Gotchya Day and all!. The spoiled dog she is got a brand new leather collar decorated with metal pin studs and a shiny new ID tag. Taricha is the envy of all the girls on the block. 

Arrrrr

Halloween time, Fall time.... the heat breaks.. ! My favorite season and Ren Faire is in town. 

..

Everyone at Ren Faire loved the 'pirate dog' and Taricha got so many head-pats that I think she wont need anymore for months to come.

Taricha with her new roommates, Kara the 2 year old boxer/beagle and Kanji the 13 year old Shiba Inu. 

Taricha has adjusted to city living fairly well over the past month or so. Having our own back yard is a saving grace when living in such a compact house. (Though they turned the yard into a mud pit over the last week of rain.) Kara and Taricha have become best friends, constantly wrestling, constantly shredding toys together, they've even snuggled a few times.

I'd like boxer/beagles more if  they didnt have endless... endless energy.

But she's still super cute.

ZzzzZzzz.

Gettin hot in hurrrr

Its been getting really hot in my room at night, ill wake up sweating and roll over and complain and fall back asleep. Tonight I find out why.. .Taricha is sleeping sprawled completely flat out over the floor vent.

Thank you... Ill sweat over here while you enjoy that frigid air flow...

Wordless Wednesday (mostly)

Taricha and I officially moved from the quiet suburbs.... to the loud downtown of Kansas City. 

Lots of adjustment going on, Taricha has new doggie roommates.

Their pics later.

For they are adorable.
