My family of dogs, past and present

Leo

Izzy

Birthdate: November, 2017. Scary fact: She knows what we are thinking before we do.

Ruby

Ruby

Birthdate: November, 2004. Favorite person ever: Grandma.

Fred

Fred

Birthdate: December, 2003. Coolest skill: He could do a perfect somersault.

Kokie

Kokie

Birthdate: ~July, 1989. Funniest look: She grinned like a chimpanzee.

Goldie

Goldie

Birthdate: ~May, 1980. Occupation: Wildlife Manager at Seattle U.

Where are they from?

Leo, Izzy, Fred, and Ruby all came from Lil' Waif Rescue in Bothell. Kokie and Goldie were both lost dogs rescued by kind people who were unable to keep them. Lucky us!

Gardening for Dogs Advice from Ciscoe

Dogs like to dig and play. As puppies, they might ruin your valuable plants. I built attractive fences around areas where I want to keep the pups out. They still have plenty of room to play. I don't use any fertilizers or other products where the dogs have access. Even in areas where they have no access, I only use safe products.

I am often asked about pee spots in the lawn. I just live with them because heck, there is no perfect lawn with dogs.

A Few More Favorite Pictures

To celebrate KSQM Pet Lovers Week-end I posted a few extra pictures.

We brought Fred home just as the pea shoots were up in the garden. Not for long!

Pups are tired after all of that digging.

Izzy was scared when she heard a boom. The baby (Leo) comforted her.
