Weekend Hound Blogging: Holding Down the Couch

This couch ain’t goin’ nowhere.

Let’s see, moving from left to right…

On Friday, Phoebe ate some CD jewel box. It seemed to be pretty tasty, but that meant I had to induce vomiting. The last time we played that game, I measured out her dose in tablespoons (while she talked of Michelangelo), which meant she had a chance to flee while I refilled. This time I loaded the full dose of H2O2 into a baster and got it all in at once. She immediately threw up her dinner along with the sharp pieces of plastic. She seems to have forgiven me.

Joey is now off his trancs. He’s doing fine and there have been no changes in his personality. He’s been sober for six days now.

Daphne is, as always, a good girl. She’s working on her sleeping and well on her way to perfecting the art of the nap.

Weekend Hound Blogging: A Morning Cup and Joe

January 6, 2007 • James Brush • Leave a comment

Joey always has trouble focusing before my first cup of coffee.

And speaking of drugs, he’s down to a quarter of his dose of tranquilizers and doing great. We’re going to have him completely off the junk by Tuesday.

Weekend Hound Blogging: Houndspotting

December 17, 2006 • James Brush • 3 Comments

Joey came to us an addict. He takes tranquilizers for his anxiety, but we’ve been trying to ween him off. He’s down to half his dose of junk and, so far, no dead puppies have been seen crawling across the ceiling. He’s a few weeks away from his final hit, but I think he’ll be fine without it.

Of course, there’s final hits and then there’s final hits, but in the meantime using Phoebe as a pillow is a good way to relax.

Weekend Hound Blogging: Like a Band of Gypsies

November 26, 2006 • James Brush • 1 Comment

For Thanksgiving we packed up the pups and drove to Orange where my in-laws live. It’s about 300 miles from Austin, right where the Louisiana border and the Gulf coast come together.

It was Joey’s first road trip, and we wondered how he would fare. He loves the car and the drive was fine, but he was nervous when we got to my grandmother-in-law’s house. There were a lot of people who all wanted to meet him, which kind of freaked him out, but he rose to the occasion and showed off with some precision peeing in the front yard before going in to inspect the couches. They met with his approval.

Over the next few days, Joey settled in just fine and expanded his fan base to include the golden triangle.

Weekend Hound Blogging: Petey Melt

Meet special guest pup, Petey…

Petey came to visit yesterday. It was the first time Joey and Phoebe have had canine company, and they seemed to enjoy having a new friend. Even Daphne joined the fun until she grew bored after five minutes.

In the backyard, Petey tried to see if Joey could block his shot…

and then he came inside and ran in circles until he melted and turned into butter.

Weekend Hound Blogging: Sleepy Daphne

It’s late, so it seems fitting to post a picture of Daphne doing what she does best.

To check up on the other two, visit my wife’s blog to see her post about Phoebe’s birthday or read a little bit about Joey in this month’s Greyhound Pets of America – Central Texas newsletter (.pdf).

Weekend Hound Blogging: Three Greyhounds in One Picture!

November 4, 2006 • James Brush • Leave a comment

This was taken by our friend VP who came over to carve pumpkins last weekend (the P’s pumpkin was the one that wasn’t Paul Stanley). She is the first to successfully capture all three hounds in one frame.

Aren’t they sweet? Daphne is in charge, and in this picture you can see her leadership in the same way that you can see Washington’s in that famous painting of him crossing the Delaware.

Post-Halloween (Hell)Hound Blogging

November 1, 2006 • James Brush • 2 Comments

Now that my blog seems to be working again, and I’ve emerged from my candy coma, I can finally post the Halloween pictures.

We stayed home as we usually do and handed out candy to the kids who are brave enough to face the occasional barking of the pups, who were dressed to impress.

Here’s Captain “Jack-O-Lantern” Joe, terror of the high pond near our house…
