Why is Bailey Guilty?

Bailey thought she got away with eating Cat Tootsie Rolls - all comfy on the couch looking guilty, but not realizing her nose tells all.

Doggie DNA Tests

So you want to know who your doggies daddy is? Well ya know you can find out - well not really the daddy, but what Breed your Dog is. You can now use a Dog DNA Test you can do at home to find out. So if you are really wondering what your dogs DNA is then I highly recommend this test. All you do is take the cotton swab rub it in the dog's cheek, put it in the container/envelope provided, mail it to the company and sit by your mailbox and wait for the results.
Veterinarians also are able to do this using a blood test, but something tells me it would be double the price. I really think this is cool - I have not done it yet, but I will - just to satisfy curiosity. If you want to read even more about it CLICK HERE

My Dog Dodge

Then there was Dodge our rescue from a dairy farm - she does look 1/2 cow and in this area anything is possible. I did get to see her mother who was a red heeler that looked nothing like her - as a matter of fact none of Dodge's sibling looked anything alike. Dodge stood out so cute as a puppy with her cow colors. We adopted Dodge to give Rosco a playmate since Bailey is too old to really play like a puppy. Dodge is a sweet girl and truly is Rosco's best friend they are inseparable and love to be together all the time. Dodge's one problem is her tongue - she is a licker and always wants to lick you - I hate that. She is very smart and will always try to keep Rosco in line - must be that heeler in her. So we really do not know what she is mixed with and maybe some day we will do the Doggy DNA Test and find out, but for now we will love her no matter what breed she is. But I can do without all that licking!!!!

My Dog Rosco

My dog Rosco another one of my furry rescues. We got Rosco originally to help Bailey by having a companion to help her get motivated to move around more. Obviously that was just one reason, but we also wanted another dog. When we got Rosco he looked like a Shepard mix and that is what the shelter told us. As a grown dog he looks more like a Lab/Pit Bull mix - I guess the only way to really know is with a Doggy DNA Test, but that will come later.

Rosco is one of the funniest dogs I have ever seen. He does the craziest things like Skateboard, Chase his tail when you tell him to dance, loves to snuggle and think he is a lap dog, loves to pop bubbles, has his own pool he swims in, cannot get enough of the hose and he loves to carry the kids sled up the hill for them. Even as smart as all that he is a bit dopey too - he will bark if a fly farts. His best buddy is Dodge who we adopted next because Rosco just loves to play and he needed a playmate.
The other thing with Rosco is his Power Chewing Jaw of Steel. He can chew through the toughest of toys - so I have to be careful to buy toys that I hope he cannot destroy. So I always look for indestructible toys made for power chewers and keep my fingers crossed.

My Dog Bailey

Meet Bailey my senior Dog who is now about 15 years old. She was a rescue from the state of Florida. She is one of the best dogs I have ever had and is still doing well despite her age. The main problem she has is arthritis and joint pain and years back she had so much trouble we thought she would have to be put down. She could hardly get up from lying down and had trouble walking. I then tried GycoFlex III and I swear that has added on many years to her life. She is now able to get around so much better and seems much happier. Now it did not cure her, but has made her life livable. I had also adopted another dog Rosco, who you can read about here as well, to maybe get her up to play. That did work also by having another doggy companion in the house, but the puppy of course at the time had way too much energy for her. Of course that eventually made us adopt yet another dog Dodge who keeps Rosco very busy. I know time is getting shorter with her in my life and I will cherish every day she is with me. She truly is the best dog ever. She is the Queen of the house that is for sure and spoiled rotten.
