Oh, sniff. Some professional photographer did a project on elderly animals, and I was just on her website looking at her photos and the short documentary about her work. Joda isn’t quite as old as some of the animals in Leshko’s portfolio, but of course I was thinking about her as I looked at the [...]

Neighborhood

Walks with Joda can be fairly slow these days, so I usually take my i-Pod and listen to podcasts. We’re in a new neighborhood now, with new sights (and smells), so the slow walks are a little less boring.There’s this Le Corbusier knock-off that goes with the mailbox above, around the corner from our house.

Outing

After a late and lazy Saturday morning, we set out for the hardware store in downtown Golden for some utility knife blades. We’re discovering that most of the family-owned businesses here allow customers to bring dogs in the store, and more than that, they dispense treats at the checkout counter. This case was no exception. [...]
In and Out

As winter settles in and we have sunny, cold days, we’re discovering the difficulties of living in a house without a dog door. Look at how nice it is outside! [scratch] Oh hey, do you need any help in the kitchen? [scratch] Time for a bathroom break! [scratch] Oh, I forgot to get a drink [...]

I’ve been enjoying the activity in our neighborhood in Golden. We live about two blocks from a park with a trail that links up to a huge trail system, so we see lots of spiffed-up cyclists, hikers with trekking poles, people with dogs, and runners. But this post is not about those people. This post [...]
Happy Birthday, Old Girl

Happy 14th birthday, Joda! We hope you enjoy your new Coolaroo bed. Your other gift, the big tub of NuPro Silver, may not be so exciting, but it should help your joints feel better. It’s been a good 14 years, Joda! Here’s to many more!

While traveling around the country, we had the opportunity to spend time with many dogs. Of course, the pre-eminent dog during our travels was always Joda. In Oregon, we visited Sasha and Gracie’s house first, and I failed to take their portaits. That’s Joda, monopolizing some of their sofa space. Our next stop was at [...]
Snow, again

The snow here is so light and glittery! Unfortunately, that didn’t make my commute home today any quicker. But going out walking with Joda is much more fun!
The S. Fork of the John Day and a piece of cheatgrass

Over the 4th of July weekend, we traveled to Dayville to meet up with some old friends and camp along the South Fork of the John Day River. It was fun to see Dayville and the area once again, and re-connect with friends. Joda immediately re-connected with the river, and swam around for awhile, sniffed [...]
Joda’s birthday present
Posted in Home, tagged dogs on June 20, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Joda turned 13 at the beginning of May. I think that is close to 90 in human years! She still has most of her teeth, and she likes to use them on treats from the butcher shop. Here she is with her birthday treat for this year.
