We went to the dog park in Rio Rancho yesterday and took a bunch of photos.
They've just added some nice agility equipment. Winter barely remembers her brief stint of agility lessons.
We were alone for a while (which happens a lot at the RR dog park) but around seven pm the population started to increase.
This is a three month-old chihuahua dachsund mix that I had to pick up and cuddle. These people who bring their tiny puppies to dog parks are SO MEAN.
Especially hound dog puppies.
I'm such a sucker for hound faces with big hound ears.
Also, since Cody and I aren't always on the same sleeping schedule we have a hard time keeping up with when Winter was last fed. Being a ridgeback she's always going to act like she's starving, and the vet's been giving us a hard time about getting her to lose ten pounds. So Cody came up with this solution.
He found a dry-erase board at Jo-Ann when we were there the other day buying more brownish fun-fur to make more hedgehog toys (I've had lots of requests to sell them and I'm pretty sure that's ok since I strayed pretty damn far from the original pattern). It's a neat board with a sparkly magnetic surface. It came with a cool pen with a dry eraser on the cap, a magnetic pen holder, and two little magnets.
Cody also found some cute dog theme stickers and made a little clock so we can write in when we last fed her. And there's room to leave notes and stuff for each other. Our next plan is to add a place to note "am" or "pm" and if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean.
Isn't it cute?

What a fabulous idea! You've got a very industrious husband there.

Hee! What cute dog and puppy pics. I am a sucker for hound dogs, too. Big sad eyes, floppy ears, spring-loaded tail...what's not to love? You guys are such good parents! That little board is so sweet...

you're the best nerdy dog mom I know!! they make these magnets (i've seen em in Smiths) that you put on the dishwasher that say "clean" right side up, and then you flip them over to say "dirty"---maybe something like that would work?

What a great idea! We are always trying to keep up with dog medication as well as feeding our various pets. Something like that is just what we need.
