Dog Day: Dog Days of Summer

by Ricki Heller 22 Comments

The Girls love the glorious sunshine and heat, but spending too much time frolicking outside can take its toll. . . . [“Oh, Mum, I just adore summer–especially getting sprayed by the garden hose!”] [“Really, Chaser,  how puerile. Personally, I prefer to keep my distance from the hose and hang here by Dad’s foot.”] [“Ooooh. . . maybe I […]

Raw Milky Way Bars

by Ricki Heller 37 Comments

I can hardly believe that my Grain Drain detox week is already at an end (that, and the fact I’ve posted a measly TWO food-related blog entries about it!). The dearth of recipes this past week was due, in part, to an incredibly hectic schedule–there was a multitude of student assignments to mark (strange how the mountain of […]

Dog Day: Chaser’s First Victoria Day Weekend

by Ricki Heller 6 Comments

For those of you who celebrated (and enjoyed a day off work), hope you all had a great Victoria Day weekend!  Our little Chaser Doodle, unfortunately, did not enjoy the fireworks. . . . [NB: WE didn’t set off any of the offending missiles. . . this was the reaction to the noise outside]. [“Mum, […]

Dog Day: Still a Happy Day

by Ricki Heller 12 Comments

Having lost my own mother over 15 years ago (yes, far too young, for both of us) and never having personally enjoyed the tangle of emotions that is motherhood, I tend to overlook today’s particular holiday, celebrated by the bulk of the Western world. While catching up on my ever-expanding list of blogs on Google […]

Dog Day: A Study in Contrasts

Dog Day: Fame Has Gone to Their Heads

by Ricki Heller 15 Comments

It’s so great to hear from people who enjoy seeing (and hearing!) The Girls in the blog.  But I have to tell you, folks, what with all this attention, and then with the Oscar buzz happening yesterday (yay Daniel Day-Lewis!), they suddenly think they’re celebrities or something.  They’ve even begun to re-enact famous movies.  For instance, […]

Dog Day: If Vodka is an Elsie, then Beer is a Chaser*

by Ricki Heller 11 Comments

*Or, How Our Puppy Got Her Name   Once, several years ago, I read in a women’s magazine that the best time to discuss “serious” issues with your male partner is when you’re in the car, preferably going for a long drive. That way, you are in close contact with each other, it’s quiet and private, he […]

Dog Day: Freeloaders We Love

by Ricki Heller 8 Comments

On one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David’s post-Seinfeld exploration of our modern cultural zeitgeist, he explains why he got rid of his dog by saying “It’s like having a bum living in your house.” As much as I adore Mr. David’s show and can understand how he might feel that way (Larry’s character has had his […]

Dog Day: Bonehenge

by Ricki Heller 4 Comments

Unretouched photo of an aerial view of mysteriously placed Nylabones–AND a single rawhide (to the left) in a geometrically significant arrangement around an ottoman in our TV room. How did they get there? What do they mean? The mystery remains unsolved. . . .
