My First Blizzard

Posted by: llofte on: March 29, 2009

On Thursday, Denver (and most of Colorado) was hit with a Blizzard. All the schools shut down, so I also had my first snow day
My husband was supposed to teach a class at 8a and didn’t realize school was canceled. He found it odd that the building was locked, but just let himself [...]

Please Don’t Say That About My Dog

Posted by: llofte on: February 8, 2009

There a some things that people say regarding Epsilon, my Yorkshire terrier, that really piss me off. Here’s the top 3…
Look at the little rat! – Excuse me, no! He is not a rat! Just because he’s only 3 pounds doesn’t mean he’s not a dog. If you got to know him you’d realize he [...]

My Dog Poops Diamonds

Posted by: llofte on: January 19, 2009

So I recently got my wedding/engagement rings repaired and buffed. They’re super pretty and my diamond looks extra big now! Yay! Anyway, having been thinking about my ring lately, I remembered an event that happened a little over a year ago and thought it would make a wonderful blog post.
My husband and I lived in [...]

Snowy Puppies

Posted by: llofte on: January 6, 2009

Here’s a little video of my babies in the snow.  Ally, the schnauzer doesn’t seem to care about it, but Epsilon, the yorkie, is quite bothered by it.  He gets soooooo cold.  It’s pretty sad.   But I’m gonna buy him some booties so that his little feet don’t get frostbite
Enjoy!

Chapped Tongue

Posted by: llofte on: December 31, 2008

My parents have a rather strange Yorkshire terrier named Ruckus.  He almost always has his tongue sticking out.  The problem is: he’ll fall asleep with it out and it’s gets all dry.  So I went ahead and put some chap stick on it for him…

Oh, How I Love the Beach

Posted by: llofte on: July 3, 2008

I was going to try to write some nice beautiful blog about how I love the beach and blah blah blah.  But I have a bad cough right now and am not really in the mood.  Instead, I’ll just share some pictures.  This is Carmel Beach.  Our puppies had the time of their lives and [...]

My Experiences as a Petsmart Bather/Brusher

Posted by: llofte on: June 28, 2008

I have spent the month of June bathing dogs at Petsmart.  I chose this job because I love dogs and love grooming them.  My first impressions of the job were rather positive; Petsmart had good policies that I agreed with.  I learned about the appropriate safety precautions for myself as an employee as well as [...]
