Dog Days of February
Tuesday, February 5, 2008 at 7:31PM 
This is Taffy. It’s been cold here and she’s been hibernating, except for the trip to her dog dish for supper and the 4 AM trip outside to do what she really should have done earlier. She’s made the wing chair in the living room her den, so I’ve covered it with a sheet.
More February Dog Days posts:
- Stacy’s long-haired dachshund is not hibernating. She likes to go outside, but the results are disastrous.
- Dorothy, guest blogging at Vizslocity, tells us a coyote adventure story that involves her little Maltese, Charlie.
- Kim’s dog post will increase your Vizsla vocabulary.
- Tim posts a photo of his family’s miniature schnauzer puppy. I helped puppysit a miniature schnauzer for a week in January and she was such fun! Only four months old, but so well behaved.
To give credit where credit is due: Rosemary used the title phrase in her comment about this month’s dog theme and I liked it, so I’m borrowing it from her until the end of the month when she can have it back.

What a sweet picture of your Taffy, Rebecca!
I confess that I once had a few dogs. A Great Dane for one. With a new baby. In a small cabin. The dog was neurotic and had lots of accidents on the floor besides. It was really my husband's dog so I just didn't bond with it. Oh...and then we had the hyper dog. The one that the kids were supposed to take care of and walk daily. Well, he tore up my flower gardens and wreaked havoc. I found out years later that the kids took him around the corner of the house and chatted instead of exercising him. No wonder he was like he was.
My present husband wants a dog in the worst way. We can't have one where we live. I have met so many rude dogs and my husband is a kindly man so I fear that discipline will be an issue. In the movie Lonesome Dove after this guy gets beat up, the captain who beat him states, "I hate rudeness in a man." Well, I hate rudeness in a dog. Remind me to fill you in on the "doggie don't die." issue in movies.
