Jan 19, 2012 this video cracks me up for two reasons: (1) watson & jewel are the two slowest moving dogs we have and when they play it looks like it's in slow motion (it can actually be sleep inducing) and (2) because everyone else was outside it seems like jewel decided to use this alone time with watson to work on some new moves, although she remains true to the good ole "grab a back leg" move.
Oct 9, 2011 it's been so beautiful here in nashville the past few weeks. i love this time of year when we can leave all the doors of the house open and enjoy the outside. the dogs have been partaking in the enjoyment aplenty. here's watson and carly trying to get the best of fletcher but as he proves you can't take a good guy down.
you also get a small taste of jewel doing what jewel does best - she likes to bark a good bit of her day away (not so surprising she was returned to the shelter twice before we adopted her).

growing up we always had a kitchen witch in our kitchen (and if your kitchen witch resides anywhere other than the kitchen you’ve got problems) and it’s an odd superstition that i’ve carried into adulthood. for the last decade or so our kitchen witch has been an ozzy osbourne figure, although the only way you would know it was supposed to be ozzy is because the packaging said so. i don’t know if there are rules as to what makes an official kitchen witch but my theory is whatever you think is the kitchen witch, is. over the last year i have acquired a new, interactive kitchen witch and his name is watson.
watson started hanging out with me in the kitchen on a random basis but over the last few months if i’m in the kitchen so is watson, although he has a sixth sense of when i’m just grabbing something and when i’m actually cooking and he doesn’t waste his time on the former. i’m sure you’re thinking that he’s a pretty smart guy and has placed himself on the front lines for food droppage but the fact is he’s not really interested in the food. he’s such a faithful presence that often i’ll try and give him something and most times he’ll take it from me like i’m testing poisons. all the other dogs in the house will charge something falling in the kitchen like the doors just opened on a black friday sale but watson just looks at me like i’m a clutz. he’s actually a delight to have there whether i’m in the kitchen for an hour or all day and he’s so much better than ozzy osbourne but i do worry that his loyalty is a bit obsessive compulsive.

many of our dogs seem to have these odd habits that come out of nowhere and quickly become constants. maybe because we have so many dogs each feels they need to assert themselves into a specific activity or maybe they’re just weird (probably equal parts of each). perhaps all dogs do this and because we have a pack of dogs we have a greater appreciation of the different habits each dog acquires? maybe you guys can weigh in on whether your dogs have exhibited similar behaviors?
Jun 3, 2010 most evenings after work we go out to seemingly play with the dogs, although usually there's more sitting than playing going on. this picture tickles the crap out of me...watson's such an unlikely ham.
;)
happy hour, watson
Dec 10, 2009 i apologize for my extended absence but holy canoli i think the stress of trying to think of a blog post essentially completely incapacitated me. i’ll just put this out there so it’s common knowledge – my life is pretty boring, and i mean that in the greatest possible way. yes, i live with 16 dogs but dogs are creatures of habit and so they do the same thing day in and day out and are rather uninteresting. i apparently need to work harder to make something out of nothing which i guess means you can look forward to, well, nothing.
we in nashville were lucky enough to have some absolutely gorgeous weather deep in the heart of november and the following is some video from that time…enjoy!
