I just met Ben, and I think I like him. He's really good with animals. Anyway, he made a movie that I'm not going to include in this blog, but you can see it here.

Skunked!

We'll be the first to admit that there are some natural urges that we just can't seem to push aside. For Rozi, it's well-documented that the sight, smell, sound, or even implication of "food" makes here beeline for the source, whether or not it's something that's edible (for example, this past week she discovered that contact lens holders, while appearing to be two big fat mints, are really just plastic, but that it doesn't hurt the taste or texture of the snack). For Izzi, it's her instinct to guard the house from predators, both small (birds, squirrels, babies in strollers) and large (coyotes, dogs, FedEx trucks). There have been many times where Izzi's boldness and thinking of only the house and not her own safety have worked out well for everyone. Who can forget the time that she chased a squirrel out of the yard, and by "chased" we mean "ran to the place that the squirrel had been about a minute before, and ran around ...

En Garde!

You might think that we live pampered lives. But, there's a lot about our day-to-day activities that would disabuse you of that notion. Oh, sure, we have our meals prepared for us (by the world's best chef: our mama!), and we usually get carried to our dining area (don't want to overuse our legs ... we need them for chasing things that move outside our window), and we get an unlimited supply of belly rubs. Interestingly, our responsibilities around the house are well summarized by Isaac Newton, who must have had a dog: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The "action" is that we get lots of good food and can spend most of the day in idle thought (for Rozi, that means wondering about when and what the next meal will be; for Izzi it means wondering when she'll be able to attack anyone who comes near our mama). The "reaction" is to be guard dogs. And, that means a couple of things. First of all, we have to be alert to anything in o...

The Blizzard of 2013 (Rozi's first!)

Hello from underneath over two feet of snow! Well, okay, we're not really underneath the snow, but we have been watching it carefully and we feel as though the snow has fallen on us, not just our yard! It's been a crazy couple of days as we prepared for this blizzard. We know that it's hard to believe, but little Rozi hasn't really seen a big snowstorm. Oh, sure, it snowed a few weeks ago, and we couldn't walk around the whole backyard for a little while, but it wasn't long before the yard was wide open for us to run around and chase phantom animals. You see, Izzi has been around for a few winters, including the one from a couple of years ago when we had gigantic, enormous piles of snow. If you want to look back at this blog from two or more years ago, you can see pictures of Izzi in the snow. So, she's a veteran of things like this. Although, since she has a built-in barometer, when the weather turns bad, Izzi gets more nervous than Rozi does, and some...
