    Family Portraits

    I think Watson doesn't like to swim because his back end sinks so then he's just trying to keep his head above water. I think he might like it more if I got him a lifejacket that supported him.

    Collar or harness?

    Watson wears a collar all the time with his tags, but when he's on his leash (going outside to potty or on the way to the park) he has a harness. He pulls less with the harness and it doesn't choke him and make him heave like the collar does.

    Family Portraits

    Aww, so cute!! Watson is an "only child", but here's a cute one of him and his "cousin" (DH's mom's chiweenie.) They're the best of friends and will play for hours when we visit. And we always make the joke of, well when you're a little kid, who are your best friends? Your cousins! Neither of...

    Neuter/Spay Coat

    He's been totally normal. Hasn't been wormed recently, but I haven't seen anything in his poo. But after reading more about spay/neuter coat (and seeing other people's pictures) I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Just not sure how to groom it.

    Neuter/Spay Coat

    At first that's what I thought it was, but we're getting up to 90 degrees now and it's still not shedding. I mean he sheds some, but not like he's blowing coat. Also, thank you!

    Neuter/Spay Coat

    Hi everyone!! Jeez it's been forever since I've been on. Life got real busy once I got my first real "big girl" full-time job! I have a question though! :) After doing some reading online I discovered that Watson's coat (see below) is what's known as a spay/neuter coat from having him fixed...

    Instagram for your doxies!

    Dr. Watson doesn't have his own, but most of my pics are of him - my Instagram name is daintyvillain :)

    NDR: What does your money look like?

    Wow, neat!! We had new $100 bills come out recently. They're kind of blue and have a new security strip that feels kind of like tape. The next time I have one (every payday when DH cashes his check & I put it in my account) I'll take a picture! Because other than that I never carry cash...

    Saying Goodbye...

    Isn't it? Apparently that's what my vet's office does for anyone who asks. I think it's one of the techs/administrators who does them, but I'm not sure. We joked that it's not very Josie though, and would be better if it had a skunk instead of a flower, haha! She was the furthest thing from a...

    Saying Goodbye...

    Had to share the picture my dad just sent me!!! When they said they could get her paw prints, I assumed it would just be her prints and name on a piece of cardstock...I certainly wasn't expecting this!!! It's very nice, because I think about how someone took the time and care to make this for...

    Saying Goodbye...

    That's pretty much how I took it. I'm a big believer in little signs like that.

    Saying Goodbye...

    Thank you for your support, everyone. I know it's very peaceful for them, I just hope she wasn't nervous before hand, when my dad left. The strangest thing happened today. Watson and I went to the dog park, like we usually do on Sunday when the weather is nice. There was a beagle there, a very...

    Would you be mine?

    So handsome! I bet if Beau and Watson were to hit the town together they'd pick up all the ladies!!!

    Saying Goodbye...

    The one thing that's still got me pretty upset (and I start crying if I think about it) is that my dad didn't stay with her when she went. He said he just couldn't bear it, which I guess I understand. I just really hope she was too out of it to notice (she hadn't eaten in several days) and she...

    My daddy just called. She is at peace now.

    Saying Goodbye...

    Thank you, everyone. My dad had an appointment at the vet's this evening (they do those procedures at the end of the day) so she'll be gone soon, or maybe she already is and my dad just hasn't called me again. When he made the appointment he made sure to ask if they can do her paw prints for...

    Saying Goodbye...

    NOTE: This is going to be insanely long. I got a call from my dad last night. One that I knew was probably coming soon, but I was dreading it. He asked what I was doing today (my answer: "uh...laundry.") He told me to come to their house. When I asked why, he said "Josie. She's really sick...

    Dr. Watson's 2nd Birthday!

    He is now! (Except for zooms time, of course.) God, for the first year almost it was like he was gogogo all the time...we had to put him in his crate so he would finally get some sleep! We were always so sad that he wouldn't ever just chill on the couch with us, but now that's his favorite thing...

    What it's like outside today

    Good lord!!!!!!! It's in the 70s here today! But Texas has such up and down weather...Thursday it was in the 20s, then 40s on Friday, 60s yesterday...and back to the 40s tomorrow. It's such a pain!

    DFW, TX Doxies?

    We'll probably be leaving for the park in the next half hour or so. I hope to see you (and Elliott!) there.
