Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

I have NO idea what these lyrics mean. I've heard the fella's of the house give thier opinions, but nothing was ever decided.


I just like the title!

Someone give me an umbrella!

 



Rain Dogs

Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
With all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away
All of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustman
With the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train
Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog too

Oh, how we danced with the
Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you
Whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
You'll never be going back home

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away
All of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

May you always have someone to rub your belly.....

When a Dog Meets a Dog on a Leash

Yes, someone did a study on dog-walking aggression by sex (owner and dog). There's some good reasoning here, it's kind of a good read. As for me, I just don't like being sniffed there, leash or not.

Guess I'm just weird that way.

Static Dog

So you want a dog. What kind? Are you "on the go" a lot? Are you an older person that, perhaps, doesn't want a dog that will wear you out? Do you have young children that have never been around a dog before? What about health issues? Most breeds can develop breed-specific illnesses over the years.

"Dogs 101"  is a show on the Animal Planet that hilights each breeds specific character traits. This show is GREAT for deciding which breed is best for you and your family. You can click on this link to YouTube to see clips from some of their shows.

********************************

Oh, the things people do to their dogs! If I was a long-haired dog, I'm sure my owner, Mr. Bill, would have done this to me!

An Airline Just for Pets!

Sometimes you need to fly us pets somewhere. Whether you are moving across the country or going on a vacation, Pet Airways is the answer!

Pet Airways is for animals only. You can't fly with us pets, but that seems to be the only drawback. There are On-Board Pet Attendants that will look after us the entire flight, every 15 minutes! The cabin is temperature controlled. Experiencing a lay-over? An attendant will take us for walk to stretch his/her legs, take a potty break. And you can track our location, too! 

Commercial airlines will put us in the cargo hold. Like your luggage, we can get lost, shipped to the wrong city, experience long delays....

And check this out. From July 2005 to August 2011, 195 animals were reported dead after a flight on commercial airlines, 77 more were injured, and 40 were lost.

Here is the link to Pet Airways, and just in time for the holidays!

Positive Reinforcement and Clicker Training.

Chip is fun, loving, and energetic Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier/ Japanese Chin Mix. I adopted him from a shelter and I love him with all of my heart. We do practically everything together like hiking, bike riding, performing tricks together, doing agility together, swimming, etc. Anything the involves being outside, Chip is up for it! Chip has appeared in the local newspaper and is loved by every member of our family. He's a good dog who loves children, adults, and other animals. I love the way his claws pitter-patter across the hardwood floors in our house. He'll lick me until my face hurts and then after a long day of playing and having fun, he'll snuggle up to me under the covers.

We would like to thank Lindsey Ray for the use of her song "Brand New Day".
Here is the video of Chips tricks...


Pretty good!

I found a couple blogs that are also written by dogs, like me. Check them out over on the right>>>>. They are pretty good!
