In light of recent events, I got a little hand-held massager to see if we could alleviate some back/muscle aches on the Spaniels.
Gwyn isn't entirely sure about it yet, but Tristan took approximately three seconds to decide that he REALLY likes it. Also, we should be using it on only Tristan, at all times.
[Video Description: It's not well lit. A small buzzing black machine with a blue power light is moving around the right side of a red cocker spaniel. The camera swings left and zooms; you can see the face of a black and white cocker spaniel in a crate. The black and white cocker spaniel makes a single piteous cooing complaint.]
All my dogs have a braided slip lead from 4MyMerles. We mostly use them for agility. I'm so so pleased with how Arthur's turned out. I think the colours are fabulous for him.
Bikejoring (and other active people) side of dogblr-- what do you use for bike racks? I have a 2016 Subaru Outback and my dogs ride in a variocage in my trunk. I need to be able to access my trunk when transporting my bike.
I would rather avoid using a roof rack if possible because I am short and weak and have preexisting back pain.
Happy spring equinox! I have two new collar patterns that are available on my etsy shop Campfire Collars!
Say hello to Space and Moon Phases! I have posted Space before but didn't buy a full yard of fabric so I was not able offer it in all the sizes and styles I make. I have that now and it's been added to the shop!
I have also updated the matching leash with some more patterns and webbing colors.
Hey there folks, I thought you might have some suggestions for helping keep The Spaniels as fully entertained as possible while I hopefully come to the conclusion of this Broken Heart Saga (literally, I am getting heart surgery in a few weeks).
I am currently unable to stand more than about a minute. I can play with them from bed, but only a very little. They are confused and requesting more, which is reasonable.
The timing is TERRIBLE! I was really looking forward to talking to the university nutritionist about how we can tweak Gwyn's diet. (appointment postponed) But without that, the constraints are:
Gwyn can only have 1 small kibble puzzle per day, otherwise wet food.
The Spaniels won't eat hard frozen stuff or anything in a narrow opening like a Kong.
Gwyn will eat silicone and cardboard (I am not well enough to take it away as soon as she's done); rubber/hard plastic seems okay.
I can't do even moderate prep or cleanup. I can do "slap food into toy, drop it, and fall down."
I am not alone, but Tristan's Fetch and Tug Buddy is taking care of ME as well as the Spaniels and the surgery prep I can't do. He's swamped.
My sister Auntie The Tertiary Human will be here soon, and can help more.
I need "set it and forget it."
We are prepared to buy stuff. Go for it.
I am exhausted all of the time and have probably forgotten a few constraints. I'm sorry I'm so tired.
Yay Haley's Back on Track sweater came and I think it fits pretty well! They had pretty limited sizing, but tbh not sure a bigger size would have been better, probably too loose.

Also yall. I got a Bissell Little Green Machine for Christmas and it’s changed my life. Complete potty clean up in 10 mins. Decimated weeks old vomit stains. Wet vac for when Salem jumped in the water bowl. Maybe the best dog related product I’ve gotten in a while
