Tavish makes his debut as a film star, with an assist from Bella…
We tend to rate Tavish’s energy level on any given day using a sliding scale of Tavishes. One Tavish is pretty energetic. On occasion, I’ve rated him at about fifteen Tavishes. So, it should come as no surprise that he’s making sure we keep moving this month. He’s like an adorable drill sergeant.
Are you participating in K9 Kamp this month? How’s it going for you?
As I mentioned, we’ve been doing a lot of walking for this year’s K9 Kamp. Tavish and I have been supplementing these walks with some fetch and games of tug (with an occasional assist from Bella).

There are a lot of benefits to walking the dog, but I’ve come to realize that whether these walks are actually a good workout depends on which dog I’m walking.
Tavish is a speed walker. He’ll stop to sniff something occasionally, but he prefers to walk with all deliberate speed. Bella, on the other hand, prefers a leisurely stroll.
When the two of them are together, things proceed fine for the first few minutes.
Then, Bella starts to slow down, both to sniff things and because she gets tired more easily. She also tends to walk in a zigzag pattern rather than a straight line. If she ends up in front of Tavish, he acts like an impatient driver in traffic, trying to get around the slow-moving vehicle that’s inexplicably hanging out in the fast lane.

Needless to say, walks with Tavish are much more of a workout than ones involving the Bellaface.
So, tell me – what’s your dog’s walking style?
It’s that time again… K9 Kamp is here! This year marks my third time as a featured blogger for K9 Kamp, but this year I have the chance to change things up a little bit. I’ll get to that in a moment… Continue reading
We had a guy working on the house last week, so the dogs were upstairs with me while he was there. Apparently the dogs were bored, so this happened…
Notice how Bella keeps looking at the camera. It’s like she’s saying, “See? I’m a good big sister. Letting the little guy think he’s tough…”

I thought you might enjoy a video of Bella and the boys in action… yesterday, Tavish and Roscoe decided that a game of bitey face was in order. Bella seemed a bit puzzled regarding what to do with her rowdy little brothers (well, except for when she was doing this). Check it out after the jump… Continue reading
Well, it’s finally happening. I set a goal for myself in January – to move the blog to a self-hosted WordPress site by June. June is right around the corner… and thanks to my tech-savvy hubby, I will be making the move this weekend!
So, if all goes well, you’ll be able to find me at www.wantmorepuppies.com, starting this weekend. (If you go there now, it’s very much a work in progress. Patience, grasshopper.) In theory, this site will redirect you to the new one once it’s ready to go, but I wanted to give you the new address just in case.
My fingers are crossed that all of my posts (and especially your awesome comments) survive the move intact. If you’re a feed subscriber, the plan is to transition without disrupting your subscription – I’m all out of fingers, so I’ll cross my toes on that one.
There will be more changes to come, as I play with design elements and the like – so I hope you’ll bear with me once we make the move!
Due to the move, there will be no Friday linkage this week. I’ll make it up to you soon. Until then, enjoy this video documenting Bella’s contribution to the move…
Happy Friday!
I was obviously going for a play on White Men Can’t Jump, but I don’t think it worked that well. Technically, I should have called this post “this brown and white dog can’t jump” – however, that seemed even less catchy.
Anyway, I’ve mentioned that Bella doesn’t know how to catch. She must have missed the day in dog school where they taught that one. She tries to catch things with her paws instead of with her mouth. It’s adorable, but ineffective.
See? Adorably ineffective.
I told you I take requests… so, today I present with “Bella the Snowdog.” (Hat tip to Pamela from Something Wagging for the suggestion.)
But first… a bonus video from 2010. (We don’t have snow yet this year, and that’s fine by me!)
