Best Cheeseburger

More on this tomorrow, but for now consider that sometimes the best cheeseburger is the one your dog didn’t eat.

Labrador Train

I took Loki into work one day because he was drinking an INSANE amount of water and I wanted to make sure he wasn’t diabetic (I might be a little paranoid when it comes to the animals sometimes… just a little). Well, Loki’s blood sugar and other tests were completely normal but he got to hang out next to this adorable female lab puppy. Loki and her kept sitting in the same positions it was too cute. If I had enough property and money I would have a pack of labs. Just the thought of having my own giant pack of labs makes me smile and giggle.

Darla

I just finished taking care of my mom’s dog Darla at my house while my mom was out of town. She is on the left couch pillow above Stitch Murphy and next to Freya. Its funny how the little girl dogs do some of the same exact things. Darla can be somewhat dog-aggressive but when she is with my dogs she’s an angel and never shows aggression of any kind. I like having her over for extended visits. When you have three dogs already, throwing another little one in the mix is hardly noticeable.

Holes

We took an afternoon walk and the boys found a hole and took turns digging it up some more. Upon reflection, I’m not sure if it is appropriate to allow them to be digging on someone else’s property but they are SO freakin cute when they dig.

Jacaranda Tree

Loki and I went for a walk just before sunset and we stopped to stare at the gorgeous Jacaranda tree. The blooms on the ground are almost as beautiful as the tree itself. They just transfer their colorful, unique natural status to the otherwise ordinary pavement.

A gorgeous Jacaranda tree picture after the jump!

Dobie Selfie

On the left is Drake, and I am in love. Drake is a 112 pound Doberman who is tall, lean, and gorgeous. Drake’s nuclear family consists of two dads who seem equally as sweet and interesting as he is.

When it comes to bigger dogs, Labrador and Golden Retrievers are one of my favorites but I really like Doberman Pinschers. In general, they are smart and sweet. Despite their seemingly intimidating stature, they are usually good with people and pets.

On the right is Gar’s dad’s former Dobie, Daisy, with Loki and Rowan at our home. She was a lot of fun to be around and was so cute with our dogs.

Republic of Dog

20140604-republic-of-dog
I had Loki at work with me and decided to get a picture of him sitting under his own picture in one of our exam rooms. When I looked at the photo I laughed inside, imagining it as a propaganda poster for some authoritarian regime. Yet, Loki is too nice for an authoritarian regime so this would have to be his presidential photo for the venerable Republic of Dog… or something like that.
