Amputee

February 14, 2010 Annie

Poor thing look: Pink booties.  [...]

Here are the [...]

The Flood and Do I Have Enough?

October 20, 2006 Annie

I’ve always wanted to do this. As most of you know, Annie’s second home is the Allen Parkway dog park that we visit every single day. Every time when there is a heavy downpour in Houston, that sucker fills up becoming a lake….. literally. I’ve always wanted to take a before and after flooding picture. [...]

Botak

March 13, 2006 Annie

“Botak” is Malay for bald. Annie is now pretty much “botak”. I took her to the groomers this weekend and accidentally requested a shorter than normal haircut. She looks SOOOOO ugly now. They shaved off pretty much everything except her head and her tail. Poor baby. Here are some more attempts to catch her in [...]

Annie was playing with her tennis ball, minding her own business when the other dog pounced on her. That dog thought that Annie was playing with “her” tennis ball. Tore her up pretty badly. [...]
