Wordless Wednesday: The Princess & The Pea

Filed under Bloggie
I have to call this shot “The Princess and the Pea”…it reminds me of that fairy tale where the princess sleeps atop a pile of mattresses but can still detect a pea beneath the stack. In this case, the princess is our Coco, who loves to perch atop a stack of pillows every chance she [...]

We had a great time this weekend attending the Reliant Park World Series of Dog Shows in Houston. This is truly a Texas-sized dog show…we spent seven or eight hours at the show and never saw the same thing twice! The show is held at the Reliant Center, which is in the same complex as [...]

By this point in the week, we all need a smile…and this video is sure to bring on a grin! The Nevada Humane Society, one of the largest no-kill shelters in the country, sent this to us. The “adoption entrance dance” is based on the famous JK Wedding Entrance Dance that went viral this [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Irie & Her Toys

We wanted to share this photo of Irie sleeping on the couch with her toys. She *loves* her toys! Irie uses them as pillows, she carries them from room to room, she “retrieves” them (without asking) for us and always likes to bring us a toy when we’re having breakfast.
It makes me so happy that [...]
How Inca Got Her Name

Yesterday after I posted about the relationship of Tiki and Inca, a reader wrote to ask about Inca’s name. Many people assume that she’s named for the inky color of her fur but the truth is she’s named for a place in Argentina. Really.
A few months before we adopted Inca, we were on a travel [...]

With two dogs and four cats sharing our house, there are a lot of relationships going on here. Dog-dog. Cat-cat. Dog-cat.
One of the most unique relationships is that of Tiki and Inca. Inca is the smallest member of the family, weighing just seven or so pounds. Inca had been a stray, been picked up by [...]

We had a somewhat different weekend this weekend–we spent Saturday checking out Six Flags Fiesta Texas! Located in San Antonio, the park was having a special bloggers’ day which we took part in for both DogTipper and for our TexasTripper.com travel site. Along with us, there were about eight other bloggers attending, most from Texas-based [...]
Where to Donate?

Filed under Bloggie
Like everyone, we’re really watching our money these days and that includes our donation dollars as well. We want to make sure when we donate to an animal welfare cause that the money will be well spent and benefit the animals that are really being hard hit by this economic downturn.
Knowing which causes are good [...]

This morning we had the unique opportunity to attend a press conference on the south steps of the Texas State Capitol in Austin. The occasion for the press conference? Kinky Friedman, singer, songwriter, novelist, and one-time gubernatorial candidate himself, was endorsing Woodrow for Governor.
Woodrow, a former homeless dog, now has his own website and is [...]

We hope our US readers are enjoying Independence Day weekend and everyone everywhere is having a great weekend with their dogs. We’ve got a quiet weekend planned with our dogs (Irie is frightened by fireworks) so we’ll be home happily watching movies on the couch with the dogs!
Our dogs get to enjoy a lot of [...]
