Sometimes the thrill of the hunt is all in the ears, especially Joey’s fabulous combover ear.
They’ve been pretty good nurses this week and by that I mean, they’ve been lounging around just like me.

Phoebe takes a moment to survey the yard before she begins her day.

If you shoot a black-and-white dog in black-and-white, is it a color shot?
Phoebe cut her leg on Friday. Nothing major, but it gave me the chance to break out the dog first aid kit. I put some hydrogen peroxide on it, and then went back inside to get a towel to dry her leg before putting some antibacterial ointment on the wound. When I came back out she was standing on the porch waiting, but the H2O2 that had run off her leg was gone. Down in the yard I could hear Joey throwing up.
Phoebe is fine, and Joey has now learned what happens to dogs who drink H2O2.

Phoebe discovered her new favorite treat last week: fresh icicles.
I broke one off to see what she would do, and she carried it off a few feet and then bit it into a rain of shards. Then the real fun started, namely trying to pick the pieces up again. She kept working at it until she figured out how to do it at which point she ate all of them.
I broke another off for her and she ate that too. It wasn’t long before the porch was littered with icicles and Phoebe was shivering from the cold as she ate them. Eventually, I got her inside where she warmed up and then wanted to go back out to eat some more.
Icicles, the ultimate dog treat. They’re free, non fattening, provide a challenge, aren’t a choking hazard. Your pup will love ’em.

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.

For Christmas, three pups in one post each enjoying their vacation.

And, Daphne in a ball, doing what she does best…

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.

Phoebe, ever the faithful camera assistant, checks for dust on the lens.

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.
