    The past few months sure have bleached a lot of color from the landscape

    At least park officials finally saw fit to mow the seldom-shorn half of this park, leaving a field of weedy hay. All the better to run free!

    I, too, could do with some mental mowing. Got an overgrowth of brainweeds to hack down. This long weekend (for U.S. folks, anyway) seems like a good time for a brief blogging hiatus. Were still around on Facebook, where chatter is...

    For months now, someone(s) at one of the local parks has been building towers out of the junked concrete and rocks by the water.

    They build them. I just take pictures whenever I come across a new formation.

    Dont ask me what any of it means.

    I speak the language of pets, but not petrography.

    Wow, its been almost 10 months since I last posted a mix of dog songs! Im really slacking, especially now that I have a regular bi-weekly radio show again and have been accumulating all kinds of must-share tracks for several running lists of themed mixes.

    So I still dont know a better legal venue other than 8tracks.com for curating and disseminating my compilations online:

    The other half of this mix struck me immediately upon seeing her face

    Ive mentioned before how Bowdus allergies compel me to keep him on year-round flea medication. The drug Ive chosen for the task is Comfortis, despite some concerns Ive posted about in the past. They typically offer a mail-in rebate, which weve cashed in each time weve been eligible.

    This is the letter I received in response to my latest rebate request.

    Dear [my name, misspelled]

    Thank you for submitting your request for the Trifexis (spinosad + milbemycin oxime), Comfortis (spinosad), or Elanco...

    The House of Two Bows is truly honored to feature this guest post from a canine star and horror aficionado, Anubis the Barkless Dog. Anubis first caught our attention with a short video circulating on dog lists and forums, entitled Paranormal Activity. True to her Basenji nature, this petite pup packs some potent star power. Anubis is currently cultivating her acting and modeling profile, built upon an extensive background in the study of canine horror stars.

    The lovely foxtails that glint and wave in the late afternoon light of April

    dry up into evil spikes and fields a-prickle with danger in May.

    Around this time, we see lots of local dogs wearing these field masks to prevent against accidental and very expensive foxtails snorted up the nostril or lodged in the eye. Its not the most photogenic accessory, but it works, especially for pet owners who have already had to shell out something in the vicinity of $600 to extract errant foxtails from...
