If you have cats and you want to get a dog, get a blind one. Even if the cat runs, the dog won’t chase. Which makes Bodhi the perfect dog for a cat’s first intro to dogs! Tommy, our sweet little kitten, is going to a home with a dog, so I thought I’d give…Read more »

The Bodhi Chronicles: Gotcha Day
Posted by in dogs Though the year flew by, Bodhi’s Gotcha Day is Tuesday June 27th. One year ago, this fabulous dog joined our household.

The Bodhi Chronicles: Beach Dog!

Bodhi in the Snow, cont.
Posted by in dogs I had to do a little playing with one of Bodhi’s snow shots. Seemed like there was more to do with it, and there’s probably even more if I knew more about Photoshop, but I’m learning. (I erased his leash, how’s that?!) For those of you who don’t know, Bodhi is blind, which is why…Read more »
