Honest

Thanks to Farley and his mom over at 1000Goldens.com for giving us the Honest Scrap award! The instructions are to link back to the person who gave us this award , share 10 things about myself that are true, and pass it along to 10 more bloggers. I’m going to share the questions with our …

Titus- Black & White

I’ve been studying black and white photography and thought I’d test out some shots with Titus. Titus is just as handsome in black & white as he is in color. You can’t hide true beauty.

Titus-Marrow Bones

Titus was very excited this evening. And this is why….fresh marrow bones from the butcher. Seasoned with a little olive oil and sea salt, they were ready for the grill. “Wait a minute….where’s mine?!?” The wait was worth it…. More please!

Remembering Spencer

It is  5 months today that we lost Spencer to hemangiosarcoma. There is not a day goes by that we don’t remember Spencer, sometimes with a few tears but mostly with a smile or laugh.  This week was our 13th wedding anniversary and it made me remember  the trip we took up to Carmel for …

Titus-2 months update

Today is Titus’ 2 month anniversary of being in our foster care. The search for his forever home continues and he is happily waiting for just the right family. Titus is a very gentle 2 year old and loves attention. I think he would be a very good candidate for a therapy dog. As long …

Titus-Lake Balboa

This weekend we took Titus to Sepulveda Basin Park for a hike. He was up early and eager to go. He really enjoys going places with you. Early in the morning, we could get a good walk in around the lake before it got really hot and before the crowds showed up. The lake is …

Titus & Friends

I got a new lens for my camera today (Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8g for you photo techies) and Titus agreed to be my model to test it out. It’s a pretty sharp lens as you can see by the drop of water on his chin. Titus posing like a super model at twilight. Titus’ …

Titus-Post Holiday Weekend

We’re back after a really big stint of crazy work schedules which always means no blogging time. We hope all our American friends had a safe and happy 4th and all our Canadian friends had a great Canada Day! Titus was ready to celebrate in style, sporting his stars and stripes bandana. It was really …

Titus-The Big Snip

Poor Titus. When he came into rescue he was un-neutered. Los Angeles requires all dogs to neutered (some exemptions apply with permits…seeing eye breeders, etc.) so Titus went in last week for the big op. He was a little groggy when I picked him up and he looked like a dog from space with his …

Titus-one month

We’ve been fostering Titus for one month today. He’s been a joy to have around with his big Golden smile. Titus is now coming to work at the studio and likes to chill out on the cool floor there. He has also figured out that he gets extra love from clients and that’s a very …

Titus-news

Titus went in to the vets for a barrage of tests last week and he has been diagnosed with atypical Addison’s Disease. That means his adrenal glands are not producing proper amounts of corticosteroid for his body. Luckily, Titus is only shy of glucocorticoids and only needs to take 2 tiny pills everyday to make …

Titus-out and about

Whew, it’s been rather a crazy week here and we didn’t have any time to get online but we’re back. We’ll try and catch up with everyone over the weekend. Titus is still with us and has started having some small adventures. He loves to explore. We took him to a park in Burbank and …

Titus-2 week update

Titus has been with us for 2 weeks now and he’s adapted extremely well to his foster home. He looks forward to his daily walks and is walking 4 to 6 miles a day now. One of his favorite pass times is to hang out in the yard on squirrel patrol. When he’s tired he …

Titus-adjusting

Titus is adjusting to his foster life and revealing his true personality. Every foster dog takes some time to adjust and we respect that (except Jake… he was at home from day one… he was the only foster we had that slept a whole night through the first night!) . You never know what these dogs have lived through and can only speculate as to what as …

Titus-Griffith Park Hike

We took advantage of the quiet long weekend to take Titus hiking in Griffith Park and burn off some puppy energy. Besides, a hike in the hills beats a workout at the gym any day…and it’s a lot less smelly. With the recent hot weather, the vegetation is starting to dry out. Fire season isn’t …

Titus-Mission: Squirrel

Titus had a busy day today. First he was whisked off to the vets for a full exam. He wasn’t very thrilled that this was the start of his day so we made it up to him by spending some of the afternoon at the “squirrel” park. All our dogs love this park because there …
