November 14, 2013 Since A.J. has had kennel cough and hasn’t been able to go to day camp we’ve been going to the park every day this week. We had quite the adventure yesterday. We got into the park and stopped. I had him sit, and I switched the leash from his harness to his …

A.J. is Sick Again
November 11, 2013 A.J. went back to the vet today. That makes five trips in the four and a half months since we adopted him. At least this time he doesn’t need antibiotics. Not yet anyway. He went back to the groomer a week ago Friday. They said he did well, although I don’t think …
A Good AJ Day
August 1, 2013 Today went much better than yesterday. A.J. didn’t get me up until 6 AM. We went out for a little bit, came back in, and I was able to get him to lie down again and remain settled down until 7:00. I got up with him at 7:00, gave him his medicine, …
Crate Destruction
July 31, 2013 Sigh. Today was a tough one. We had to leave early to ride into town for my volunteer work this morning. I got A.J. to walk into his crate on his own by throwing a couple of treats into the back corner. He went in and ate the treats and I closed the …
New Home, Day 5
July 30, 2013 A.J. was up periodically throughout the night again, but he wasn’t coughing. I’d wake up occasionally wondering where he was, but he didn’t seem to be doing any damage. Around 4 AM he came over and I petted him for a little while. At 6:00 he was up. Greg got up and …
Week One Continues
July 29, 2013 We all got a good night’s sleep last night. I didn’t have to chase A.J. off the bed even once, he just laid down on his own bed. He slept until 4 AM, at which time I just petted him for a little while and he curled back up and went to …
Our First Sleepless Night
July 28, 2013 A.J. started throwing up again around 2 AM. Greg took him out while I cleaned up. He brought him back, and I immediately had more to clean up. We both hung out with him outside for a little while. We came back in. More cleanup. I finally directed A.J. toward the laundry …
Day 2
July 27, 2013 Day 2 with A.J. started around 4 AM. He’d had a lot to drink the night before, so I was on the alert for any movement from him. I woke up around 4 AM and he was up and moving around, so I took him out. What a beautiful night. The moon …
