Recently, when Reggie came to stay with us for a couple of nights, the pups had one half of the couch, and I had the other.
I ended up next to the, er, wrong end of the Reg.

Less-Wordy Wednesday: Sporting Dogs
Usually sporting dogs are the hunting breeds... but not at our house.
Oh, Rita does like to hunt a squirrel or dead gopher every now and then, but she's more of a Pawdres ball girl:

Hiking at Wildlands Conservancy With Your Dog
For less-wordy Wednesday, I thought I'd share some photos from a little getaway trip we did last week. We went to Desert Hot Springs/Palm Springs for a few days and did three days of hiking on some of The Wildlands Conservancy trails.
One day we went to the Mission Creek Preserve:

Wordless Wednesday: Our Minx, the Sphinx
Remember I told you about Rita's artwork/custom-bedding project? I didn't have the heart to throw it away, so it's in our bedroom and she sleeps on it every night. (Sometimes I hide it under her blankie but she's not crazy about that.)
Here she's our little minx in her custom bed, doing her sphinx imitation:

My Goofy-Foot Girls or What Do Dewclaws Do?
A while back, my blogger buddy Jan wrote a very interesting post about dog's feet called Barking About... Canine Paws & Toes. (You should check it out. Did you know dogs have either "cat", "hare" or "webbed" feet?) Her post made me think of some of the odd things about angel Abby's and Rita's feet.
When we got Rita, we said she seemed to be a mix of Abby and our other angel Bailey. Bailey had no dewclaws in the back, but Abby had both.

Love To Go To the Dog Show But Not For the Dog Show
Today for less-wordy Wednesday, I'm sharing some of the (really terribly blurry*) pics I took at the recent dog show here in San Diego. Two of my sisters and I go pretty much every year, but I don't even care about the actual dog show.
You might wonder why someone would go to a dog show and not watch the show, but there are lots of other things to do.
First of all, we love to walk around and see all the cute pups, like this adorable beagle getting ready to go in the ring:

Wordless Wed.: A Walk in the Fog with the Dog
We've had some super foggy mornings here lately. Rita's not a huge fan of walking in the fog. She seems to be on high alert, as you can tell from her perked up ears in this pic.

Dementia and Show Tunes (and Dogs!), Oh My!
The other day, there was a report stating researchers found that singing show tunes helped improve brain function in patients with Alzheimer's/dementia. The researchers held sing-along sessions with hits from The Wizard of Oz, Oklahoma! and The Sound of Music, and found that those who sang along showed "marked improvement" compared to those who just listened.
The hubs and I really worry about our brains - especially mine, which often doesn't work right. This was fantastic news to me, because I know every word to every song from Oklahoma! (and most of them for TSoM and TWoO and, as a bonus, South Pacific). We not only had the albums when I was a kid, but I played Aunt Eller in the school musical. (I shoulda rounded up a pic, but that would be Throw-back Thur, and today's Less-Wordy Wed.)
To prove to myself I still had it, I typed out the lyrics to Ado Annie's "I Can't Say No" from Oklahoma. (Hit that link if you've never heard it. It's not exactly a beautiful tune, but it's fun.)
So, here are my typed lyrics... accompanied by repurposed dog photos.

Wordless Wed.: The Dog's a Fan of the Bone Broth Craze!
Did you know there's a bone broth craze going on? (If something makes The Today Show it's probably officially a craze!) I've been making bone broth for the hubs (so it will hopefully help with his joint and bone issues). He drinks a hot mug of it every night, and the dog's a fan!
Here she is watching, waiting, and hoping while I prep the bones for the cooking.

Lots to Celebrate! (Including Book News!)
There's a lotta stuff to celebrate today on PoochSmooches, so I hope you'll let me be a teensy bit wordy! (Don't you always??) :)
First of all, Jan. 21 is Rita's Gotcha Day! Three years ago we brought this crazy little pup home.

Wordless Wednesday: Left Out in the Cold
Recently when my sis was dog-sitting Rita, she took Reg and Rita over to a neighbor's house so they could race around in their park-like backyard. (Yes, the livin' is easy - and warm - in the winter time in San Diego, but our backyards are tiny.)
They played:

Wordless Wednesday: Before and After
Last week I shared this pic of Reggie after he and Rita had had a good play session, romping in the damp grass and through the flower beds:

Wordy Wednesday: Thankful! #ShareGratitude
Thursday is one of my most favorite days of the year here in the US: Thanksgiving!
So, in the spirit of a holiday that is all about gratitude (and FOOD - one of me and Rita's fave things!), we are joining the Share Gratitude hop!
I hope you don't mind if I get a little wordy, while I share a combined list for Rita and me.

Wordless Wednesday: Something Lovely with Something Icky
Do you ever wonder how your beautiful pups can stand to put some of the grossest things in their mouths??
This lovely girl is up for adoption at Helen Woodward Animal Center where I volunteer each week. There were plenty of nice, clean tennis balls to play with, but of course she wanted to play with the icky, muddy one! (Thank you to the genius who invented the ChuckIt! I never had to actually touch the thing!)

Wordless Wednesday: Sending Good Thoughts
Today we have a special request for our friends over at The Three Little Pugs.
Stella Rose, Margaret Mae and Angus McConnell have a human family member, Macey, who needs good thoughts and prayers. You can read about (and see super adorable pictures of) Macey here.

Less Wordy Wednesday: Caption This Goofy Pic
I snapped this goofy pic the other day at Helen Woodward, where I volunteer, when 2 of my fave pups were playing under my legs. Wanna try and caption it?
I'm going with: "I dub thee Sir EatsALot!"
