All of my reactive dog training -thanks Murray and Ruckus- finally paid off. Not financially of course, but after two weeks of patience and frustration, Phantom to let me catch and groom her. She still looks like a ragamuffin, but it's a start. The birds will love the hair for their nests.

Misty has reached a new level of lazy: laying down to munch grass.
They are going to be so disappointed if it doesn't rain again and all the nice 'pasture' grass dries up and the backyard goes back to dirt.
Misty was just checking that I was working. She knows carrots aren't free.
Misty thinks my coffee is her coffee.
Where Misty is supposed to be, as opposed to where she believes she should be.
Misty thinks she is helping if she eats my tax records.
Jasper is a little pissed that Misty wants to come in to HIS office.
Iran’s regime has armed terrorists, killed Americans, and fueled wars across the Middle East.
But killing a dictator is not the same thing as having a strategy.
Trump is shifting goals in real time. That’s dangerous when American lives are on the line.

Misty has decided she is my new office supervisor. No sense of personal space.
The minis are feeling at home. Misty is quite the busybody! Phantom isn't far behind.
Pen has taken over Tuff's bed, just because. If she sits, she fits.
For the first time in almost a year, I could take Teddy for a graze without him being an ass. Welcome back, my unicorn!
Pen and the others met the new girls today and so far all is going well. Of course Pen is thinking, "why are those horses so small?" And the minis are thinking, "Why are those dogs so big?"
So I did a thing. Meet Misty and she-needs-a-new-name Xena. They were part if a hoarding situation, and I got them from a rescue who helped them. Misty is almost friendly, and Xena is just scared. I give them a few weeks before they are spoiled rotten.
Just before I left for the weekend the Danes had enough of the rain and ripped up one of their beds. I patched it, knowing it wouldn't last long, and ordered a 'jumbo' replacement.This is what came.Tuff thinks I bought it for him and claimed it. I have different ideas of what is a jumbo dog bed.
In honor of the Lunar New Year, I'm sharing a video of the Lion Dancers from my cousin Alice Chan 's birthday.Still the best birthday party ever.
Happy Year of the Horse from Layla and Teddy!
So a Mourning Dove has put her nest in a low tree and has two infants. I'm worried about the nestlings in the upcoming rain. Am I just pathetic? The fluffy lumps are baby birds.
When Tuff snores it's pretty cute.
The Budweiser Clydesdales are taking a short break at El Campeon before the Super Bowl, so of course I went to see them. Apparently I'm a Draft Horse stalker now.
Because will all need something sweet.Tuff is the only dog on the couch-I know! Shocking!- but he is sitting on me. Such a sweet old man. I still can't believe his people didn't want him. I lucked out.
ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."
Found this as I was walking Ruckus today. Even I wasn't old enough to vote for him.It is in perfect shape. Remember when we thought Nixon was the worst thing that could happen to our countey?

When I swept up the tail and dumped it out it was still wriggling. You are welcome
I slide the paper underneath, most of the lizard zips out and the tail remains. Wiggling and curling and wiggling. I'm sure you heard the screams where you are. I did calm down enough to trap the main part of the lizard and bring him outside. 3/4
This happens occasionally when I leave the doors open. I grabbed a bowl, with the plan of pooping it over the lizard and sliding a paper underneath and dumping said it outside. First attempt the lizard got away. Later I spotted it in my bedroom. This time I think I get it, but 2/3
