Wow! I can’t believe the summer’s gone already. Here are a couple of things I could have been writing about.
There were several trips to the zoo – both the Henry Vilas and the Milwaukee County – during which I spent hours taking photos. Always a good time.
In July I practiced my henna skills on both hands. The [...]

Welcome to my new blog! I know it’s been a long time since I last posted, but I’ve been busy setting up Orange Moon Toys with my sister, Robin. Right now we are only selling shadow puppets, but we plan to make mobiles and other things in the future, too.
Life has been a bit crazy [...]

Dez finally got outfitted for the snow (which has been falling in buckets for a while now). I broke down and bought him a sweater and boots, because his coat that I’m sewing for him won’t be done for at least another week. I’m not crazy about dressing up pets, but as a desert dog [...]

I tried for days to get a picture of Dez to post here, and instead I got images of what appears to be a ghost dog haunting our house. Just about the only way to tell that he’s real is the nose print on the window. He did settle down for about five seconds once [...]

As you can probably tell, Dez has calmed down a bit since my last post. He’s been so good lately that we’ve even been letting him sleep on his bed at night! We’re up to three nights running with no incidents. Huge progress doesn’t even begin to describe it. He even got to meet his [...]

I was going to write a post about how good Dez has been lately. I was going to talk about how much better he’s been since he got over his surgery. Then he turned back into “Dez: the canine typhoon.” Granted, we have been warned that it can take up to 6 weeks after a [...]

We knew when we adopted Dez that things would be hard for a while. We knew he liked to chew on things and that his last family wasn’t sure whether he was completely house trained. We knew that he had a lot of energy and a talent for getting himself in trouble. We knew he [...]

Dez has been with us for a week now, and is settling in well. He’s not quite like any dog I’ve ever known. So far we’ve learned: he likes to chew, a lot; he’s very vocal, and likes to talk back; he loves squirrels and rabbits; he knows many commands in spanish; he likes to [...]

I’d like to announce the arrival of Ewan’s new blog entitled: VetSchool: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Abomasum. You can find his witty commentary at http://dinovet.blogspot.com/ , or by clicking the link under Gator’s Favorite People to the left.
The other highly anticipated news is that Agadez will be arriving [...]

This is Agadez, aka Dez, an Azawakh (Tuareg Hound) who is currently residing with some friends in Chicago. Unfortunately for his current family, but fortunately for us, they are having trouble spending enough time with both Agadez and their four year old daughter. This means that Dez will be moving in with us at the [...]
