"Princess, this crate's not big enough for two dogs." About a month or two ago, Loki suddenly developed a deep fear of his crate. He's gone through highs and lows with his crate but for the most part, he loves his crate, because we played tons and tons of crate games before moving to Switzerland. […]
"It's a shame that Mother Nature did not provide humans with the superior dirt-repelling qualities enjoyed by all Siberians." As usual, Juno has a point. It's quite amazing---shocking if you will---how clean she stays for the amount of dirt she gets her furry self into. Siberians may be long furred but they stay unusually clean […]
"Princess, gambling is a sure way of getting nothing for something." "Big Boy, it's not gambling when you never lose!" We've had a strange week and lady luck has not been on our side.

"Daddy-O, I don't know what mom means by "fast." These last few weeks, she's been nothing but slow and boring." "Cupcake, you ain't whistlin' Dixie. She hasn't even given my chompers a proper bitin' workout! How do you think a hep-cat like me keeps his smile sparkling white?"
