Throughout my life I’ve always heard people automatically refer to dogs as “he.” I used to have a girl dog, and was always answering people asking questions such as “What’s his name?” and “How old is he?” with “Her name is…” and “She is …” It wasn’t a big deal, you often can’t tell whether a …

A.J. Gets Comfy
We went to see a show last night. The theater is just across the street from our neighborhood so we walked over. Normally when we go somewhere without A.J. we either drive or ride the bikes, so he hears the garage door when we get home and meets us at the door. Last night when we …
A.J. the Football Fan
A.J. was a little dazed after yesterday's Seattle Seahawks game.
When Mom’s Away…
Today I got my haircut while Greg and A.J. stayed home for a couple of hours by themselves. When I got home A.J. came wiggling to the door to greet me. Greg was sitting on the couch reading. I asked Greg, “Did you go anywhere while I was gone?” “No, I’ve done a few things …
See Spot Splash 2015 Update
The Idaho Humane Society posted their pictures from See Spot Splash to their Facebook page. I couldn’t believe one of the pictures they managed to capture of A.J.: Yes, that’s my crazy boy. I wasn’t sure whether to be horrified or amused, but since I couldn’t stop laughing I had to go with amused. Fortunately …
Water Toys
This morning A.J. was bouncing around the house with a toy in his mouth. He decided he was thirsty, so he trotted over to his water bowl, his toy still in his mouth. When he got to his bowl, he gently placed the toy in the bowl, then proceeded to drink around it. Just another …
A.J. at See Spot Splash 2015

A.J. the Stealth Dog
It’s amazing how a dog that can be so noisy can be so sneaky sometimes. This morning I was sitting at my desk working on the computer. A.J. was lying right outside the office door. There’s carpet in the office and hardwood floors in the hall outside the door, so sometimes he likes to be …
A New Game
A.J. is having just a little too much fun with his dog door now: he's invented a new game. When we come back from our evening walks he grabs a toy and bounces around playing. He's been doing that for a long time. What's new is that now with the dog door if he can't get …
Chasing Shooting Stars
Last night was supposed to be one of the best nights to watch the Perseid meteor shower, so I decided to stay up and watch some of it. Around 11:30 I went outside, set up a lounge chair in middle of the yard, and sat back to enjoy the show. A.J. of course came out …
