I think I will update this post throughout the day and evening, as things unfold here, so, check back please and see what the dogs are up to. Do you suppose they have any New Year’s Resolutions? I’ll have to ask them. Don’t ask me. I don’t do New Year Resolutions any longer. Life has [...]

Well, not really. They’re South African by relation. Harry (Yorkshire Terrier) and Charlie (Maltese) have a mom who is from SA and has gone there for New Year’s to visit family.
While Mom’s away, Harry and Charlie have done some sort of mystical body swap. I swear, Harry has entered Charlie’s body. Charlie is doing things that normally [...]

Gilbert should have arrived by now at The Hartsdale Pet Cemetery (there is a guest book on their website). Because of Christmas, his remains were kept at the Bergh Memorial Hospital until transport was arranged Friday. His cremation will be tomorrow, Saturday. I have requested his ashes and should have them next week.
All of my [...]

Lola Toy Poodle seems to have Charlie’s and Cherry’s (Maltese) attention. I’m afraid. I wonder what they’re planning for New Year’s Eve? When Toy Poodles and Maltese get together, there can only be mischief ahead. My Giorgio is acting nonchalant (he’s the Maltese in the front of the picture) but he’s my hero. I just know [...]

Rainy dog day in NYC and all the dogs and puppies are staying in bed, being very lazy. Which is, in fact, just fine with me.
A hectic day. After Gilbert Kitty’s sudden heart failure and death this past weekend, I had to get his brother, blind Sullivan in for an echocardiogram and diagnosis. How heart-wrenching it is to [...]

Parker: Teacup Poodle (parti-color). Copyright Christine Pellicano 2007
I awoke with a lot of questions about Parker, the little parti-colored Teacup Poodle who apparently has some hearing loss, may be totally deaf, we’re just not sure yet.
Parker is now I believe five months old. He is truly tiny, but, I’m not sure his size has anything [...]

And I am ready for my nap! All the dogs are pictured below. The littlest brown and white is Parti-Color Teacup Poodle, Parker. It’s difficult to gauge just how tiny he is. In one picture, you see him standing on top of the covered crate I’ve provided for him, inside the x-pen I set up [...]

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice
Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see
Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them
Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from [...]

Images of my best boy and his littermate, Sullivan. Gilbert lost his brief battle this morning. His big heart just couldn’t keep him going any longer. Truly, there has never been a sweeter head-butter-tabby-cat.
My little bottle-fed baby boy. Today my heart is broken. In time, I will write about you. For now, I’ll post some [...]
