i seeee youuuuuu

i think i can, i think i can

bastard pouncey

as a reward for his incredibly sweet behavior in the face of non-stop punk-ass puppy onslaught, nacho is going straight to heaven. not passing go. pay no mind to the fact that he is missing half his teeth. nacho a good boy.

best weekend ever

ALO came to town on friday armed with a new album and ready to liberate the animals of asheville for the first time with california beach funk love.

it was keyboardist zach gill's birthday. i happily provided some balloons and cakes in the shape of dogs, straight from ingles. they all made it to the stage of the orange peel later.

also 2 of 4 members wore skippy haha vintage shirts on stage. if it's free i'll take it!

go to their site. buy their new (awesome) album. (sounds like this) and go see them live if they come to your town! you will smile. and dance. and feel one with humanity. and happy to be alive. and smile some more.

livin in a plastic bubble and it's GOOD!

believe the hype.

love hate

take me to your drum circle

pouncey at the vet

pouncey went to the vet yesterday.

it was a new vet and has an incredibly better vibe than the ice palace of cheez whiz nacho & eli have been going to. i won't name names right now, but there's a vet in asheville that charges 3 times more than they should and the care is worse.

anyway! pouncey is getting off on the right paw with a new vet on this side of town.

adjectives the vet used to describe him were: smart, great coat, awesome puppy.

he is estimated to grow to 85 lbs. this is 15 lbs bigger than his dad and 30 lbs bigger than his mom, so i hope it's not accurate, but if it is, it is.

we were told to feed him whenever he's hungry, every 3-4 hours. especially since he's pouncing up and down a hill. we can't feed him too much. ignore the guidelines on the bag of kibbles, feed him as much as he wants. pouncey likes this advice.

he had round worms but that is normal. they gave him shots and dewormer and flea and tick medicine. he was not feeling too great last night but woke up this morning his usual pouncey self.

let the counter surfing begin

pouncey has figured out food. i put hot water on his kibbles, so now anytime i am at the sink he thinks he's getting kibbles and sits expectantly next to me. he learned quickly from his brothers nacho and eli that the sound of wrappers usually means crumbs. he put his face right in this bowl of snacks on the coffee table.

what...did i do something wrong?

pouncey in the park

pouncey had a big day today. he took a ride in the car for the second time. walked on a leash for the first time. went to the park for the first time. he did great.

sharp and pointy

...and not afraid to use them. 

honestly, he's better already. he's learning not to bite. though he's punctured my nose twice. we're working on it.

when pouncey is hungry, he goes and hangs out by himself next to his bowl. and generally tries to look as pathetic and tiny as possible. this strategy is effective.

a journey of a thousand miles

...begins with a single pounce. 

he wants to follow his big brothers, but pouncey is still too leeeetle. so he stands on the edge of the river and barks at them like a little punk.

swimsuit tragedy

my sweet friend gave me this incredible 70's swimsuit for my birthday.

like a complete idiot, i put it in the microwave for 60 seconds to try and kill any germs one might find in a second-hand swimsuit.

before the 60 seconds were up, an awful burning rubber smell filled the room.

swimsuit = destroyed. stuck together, giant holes, toxic mess.

moral: soap and water will kill germs, you don't have to nuclear radiate them.

hey everybody!

it's me! pounceydoggy!

that little skunk fits right in here

pouncey plays with

penn 4 tennis balls

so many sticks

so much time

eli & pouncey vs a tree trunk

once upon a time, eli found a stick.

this stick was the size of a tree trunk, and eli was happy.

pouncey saw eli chewing the tree trunk and thought, "hey, that  looks like fun."

so he pounced over to watch eli and see how it's done.

pouncey said, "yee haw! we're gonna chew this tree trunk right up!"

he took a little bite and he liked it.

and that's how pouncey learned how to chew up a tree trunk.

the end!

say hello pouncey

hello pouncey!

no puppies were hurt in the making of this photograph

all's well in pouncey town.

he's learning very quickly. he's not afraid to jump off things. or chew things. we fenced part of the yard so they can go in and out on their own.

eli's face says it all here.

and here

pouncey plays with balls and eats sticks and leaves.

nacho thinks something is funny.

naptime!

RIP buddy

buddy and pouncey

got some sad news yesterday amidst all the hilarious daily puppy comments ("OMG pouncey, you are adorable as f$%k. I want to make you chili by a campfire and share marshmellows lady and the tramp style. If I am ever in carolina I will steal you and rub you all over my face!" and "Awesome darling! I love you! my tight hug for you!" being my favorites) that buddy, pouncey's father, passed away sunday night.

With a sad heart, we said good bye to Buddy. He passed peacefully during the night. His last day was a good one...a ride in the truck with Blizzard and the rest of the day watching us plant flowers around the campground. All the while being showered with hugs and kisses. For those who knew him personally could you share some of your happy times with us so we can celebrate his life as we mourn our loss. God bless you Buddy...always in our hearts ♥

he was old and rickety, they said he'd been hit by a car twice. but when we met him last week he was still chasing balls through the grassy valley and hopping into pickup trucks. he was so mellow and gentle. and so handsome.

pouncey looks just like him and i think will have his same velvety coat.

rest in peace buddy! great job making people smile and making awesome puppies!

here's pouncey's mom, blizzard:

 

talk about a sweet animal. she is older too - 8 or 9 - and the same color and size as nacho. which is probably why pouncey keeps looking for nacho's teats!

the daily puppy!

Guess who is the featured puppy on The Daily Puppy Today!

POUNCEY!

The comments are cracking me the hell up.

Please go to the site and give him 11 biscuits! 

pouncey coming through the front door

pouncey had his first bath yesterday. he freakin hated it. in retrospect i probably should have put him in the sink with warm water instead of spraying him with cold water out of the hose. 

he is a total tick magnet. much grosser than a chick magnet.

i can't stop posting puppy pictures, i'm sorry.
