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 …

Titus-update

Titus has a beautiful Golden smile that can light up your day. He is very observant and is always looking up… at birds, planes, helicopters and butterflies. Titus came from a suburb of Los Angeles that is in the desert, so he enjoys roaching in the grass (even though ours is looking rather sad due …

Titus

We’re back… and we have a new foster, Titus. He had a run in with a car, ended up at a local shelter and was surrendered by his owners, who didn’t want this lovely lad any longer. Titus has a beautiful big head and is a terrific looking Golden. His body needs to catch up …

Jake-adopted-the new fresh prince of Bel Air

Jake found his forever family today! He is now the new fresh prince of Bel Air, where he is going to live with his new family. We’re sure he’s going to be spoiled like a king and have a great time exploring his new domain. Jake will have plenty of room to run and even …

Jake-focused

Jake loves to watch the world go by outside the window. I saw he was extra interested in something. The enemy on his lunch break. This squirrel was doing back flips for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good shot of that. but he kept Jake entertained for a little over an hour. …

Jake-update

Jake is really enjoying having us all to himself and loves to play. He has so much energy we have dubbed him “the Red Rocket”. I have a feeling this guy would be really good at agility. After a big walk, in the mornings, we have a high energy play. Jake loves the Westpaw ball. …

Sky-adopted

We’re happy to report that Sky is officially adopted! He will live with his new family in Los Angeles and is starting off his new life with a new name to go with it, Murphy. His family had a sneak preview this weekend and fell in love as soon as they met him and the …
