No actual doggy tattoos, but at least it has an animal in it...    (Let me just mention the contortions I had to go through to get even this crappy, washed-out picture of it.)

I have had an idea lately for some cherry blossoms or some such with with some paw prints wending their way through the blossoms, but we'll see...

Oh my gosh, that is some serious cuteness right there.

First picture, center pup.  That's the one that gets me.

I only have a little experience with birds, but I have lived with a Pionus and a Goffin's cockatoo in the past, and worked with cockatoo's and macaws in my Sea World days.  Everything suggested sounds right to me - cockatoos are super needy.  We had a Moluccan cockatoo at work that would scream constantly if you weren't petting him.  He ended up plucking himself really badly.  Don't give him any attention for bad behavior, and reward the good.  If you think he might want a bath, maybe you could see if he would like to go into the shower with you.  Our Pionus used to shower with my ex-husband all the time.  Just keep him out of the direct stream of water and don't make the water too hot. Or too cold. (Helpful, huh?)

That's awful - I'm really sorry.  Warm thoughts to you and to his family...

Gwen shows us the Downward Doorway...

When I looked over this morning and saw Ranger in this position on the couch, I could only surmise that he had taken up yoga.  Are we 100% sure a dog's back legs are supposed to do this? 

Anyone else have a picture of their dog practicing dog yoga?  Ranger calls this pose "Sunrise Salute to the Couch Pillow"...

LOL!  The crazy picture is too funny.  They always look demented when they lie on their backs. 

Ranger has one where he looks like a vampire...

I love the nose picture too.
