It was long overdue, but I finally updated our blogging platform here at The Dalmatian Diaries. The old software, aside from being a hacking hazard, was quite limited in what it could do which is one reason I was posting so infrequently. Hopefully with the shiny new version you’ll see more of the Dotted Duo! […]

Mutt Musings
I have to admit, keeping up with blogging takes a lot of effort. I’ve been quite lax in my updates. Mostly because there isn’t that much interesting going on. It’s just life as usual with the Dotted Duo. Widget is going to be turning 4 years old in a few days. I still can’t believe […]

New Bed
I got this new bed for Widget because she likes to burrow and be covered up when she sleeps. However, Browser quickly decided that it was his. Now the battle of the bed begins. Both dogs have actually been sleeping in it at the same time so I’m hopeful that once the weather cools off again they will learn to snuggle and share. This was the first attempt at sharing.

Well, it’s snake season again in Texas which of course means: we have another snake bite. This time Browser was the recipient. I was rather surprised that he got bit since he is SO wary of snakes and seems to have a better sense of smell than Widget does. But, nonetheless, he got bit right […]

You can buy it online now at the Skillful Paws Etsy shop! Skillful Paws is owned by Christina Hardinger. She is certified in animal acupressure and massage […]
Why do I buy dog toys?
I’ve created a spotted monster!
I’ll be getting some updated video footage of the pups on the treadmill soon. Tomorrow will be one month since we got the treadmill, and frankly the progress the dogs made amazed even me. This morning I was about to leave to run some errands. I went up to my office to check email before […]
The Treadmill!
It hasn’t been quite a month yet since we got the treadmill. I’d say, things are progressing nicely. I did some training with the dogs myself to get them used to the noise and feel of the machine but then Diana Smith from Hearts and Paws came over to give us an official lesson last […]
A new toy
It arrived today. Our new toy. The Treadmill. Or as Brent calls it, The Paperweight. I have been wanting a treadmill for a long time. We have an elliptical machine but I don’t much care for it. It is too bouncy. I would rather walk. I’ve also wanted a treadmill to burn off some of […]
