I’m on the Move — or am I Mobile?

On the Move

Dad (and my personal private webguy) says I’m goin’ mobile (whatever that means) so…

Licks and Greetings from my new WordPress site. Dad was up most of the night getting it all together, while I was sleeping on the chair next to him. It turned out to be a pretty simple process, with a cool WordPress plugin that extracted all of the primary content from my Joomla! site.

Dad still had to re-insert all the images, and make the pages, but still MUCH better than having to cut and paste all of that stuff.

Why the switch? You’re thinking.

I can hear the wheels and gears whirring in your head from where I sit. Unlike Dad, I’ve got really good hearing. And it’s really a good question. Since it doesn’t really have anything to do with food or kibble or chew toys, I don’t know the answer… but Dad does. Let me ask him… Pitter patter, pitter patter…. OK, I’m back.

It’s because some relatively new plugins, like WPTouch, WordTwit, and Onswipe make it really easy for us to serve mobile devices (whatever they are) and be sociable.

And I LOVE bein’ sociable.

All for now.

Keep on Woofin’

Sailor’s Newest Challenge

Feelin' rotten

OK, October 28, I had TPLO Knee Surgery in Longmont. The doctors and the nurses and everybody else as Aspen Meadow Veterinary Specialists were really, really nice…but no matter how nice they tried to be, I knew that it was not going  to be a fun trip.

 

Learn more about TPLO.

 

My mom and dad got a huge book of stuff to read and to do when we got home. I don’t think any of us were looking forward to it.

 

I’ll be catching you up on my blog.

New Wonder of the World!!!! Sailor is a Graduate!

Creating the newest wonder of the western world, Sailor the Dog sucessfully graduated today from the AKC Good Citizen Class.

The passing of the final test came as a complete surprise to all involved, especially Sailor the Dog.  He is celebrating tonight at his Colorado home (under a gazillion feet of fresh powder.)

Woooo-Hoooooo

Sailor Update

Sailor was able to come home Monday evening (the 20th).  After a week on meds and a lot of rest, he’s back to his normal self – an obnoxious yellow lab.  Thanks for your concern.

 

 

Sailor Hospitalized

Sailor has been in Community Pet Hospital since mid-morning.  Fortunately, after several hours of treatment and evaluation, it looks like surgery will not be necessary.  He’s one sick pup, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed.  With luck, he’ll be home with us sometime tomorrow.  Thanks to all the ER staff at CPH!!!

We’ll give you all an update when we have more information.

Thanks,

 

Paw Fest 2007

Wow summertime coming is sooooo cool!  In Colorado, we have a lot of Festivals beginning in May and running into October.  Um, let’s see.  Telluride Bluegrass, Telluride Film, Denver Film, Boulder Film, Octoberfest, Winter Park Jazz, Breckenridge, Aspen, Vail, Durango, Estes Park… all of the cool places you’ve heard of 10,000 times before… and… Thornton…  huh?

Yup, last Saturday was Thornton Fest in the city of Thornton, Colorado… booths, way too much good food, stuff to buy, dancing, music, did I mention food?

And….  Dogs…. Bazillions of them.   Half of the real-estate for the Thornton Fest was dedicated to Paws Fest!  OK, cats were probably allowed, but let’s get real.  This was about DOGS!  Big ones, tiny ones… woofers and yappers…  tuggers and laid-backs… jumpers and nappers.  Sailor the Dog met a ton of new friends, and visited with another ton of old ones.  His vet ( Community Pet Hospital ), his favorite hotel ( Pete and Macs ) and more

We also watched some amazing dog stuff!

Flyball, Disc Dogs, Free Style, dog shows and more.  Dogs racing, dogs jumping wow!

They had an AniMall – Shopping for pet stuff, products and services.  Oh, and did I mention food?  Dog food, biscuits, treats all kinds of goodies.

buh,bye
Sailor’s Dad
