dog advice
I am passionate about dog advice & making life better for every dog I encounter. I am forever gathering information for my own use in the day-to-day running of a house full of dogs, so I blog a lot of what I find. I also blog when I need to rant about something that needs to be ranted about. I hope you enjoy my blog. I’ve blogged about topics ranging from dietary info to grooming to behavioural issues. If what you are looking for isn’t on the blog, please contact me at grace@rrruffhouse.com and I will see what I can do.
Happy Birthday
This is our buddy Leo, it was his fifth birthday and we had a little party for him and as you can see he was totally surprised! Not sure who had more fun, him or his owner? Leo is a great sport and took it like a champ. Thanks Leo for a good party and looking forward...
That’s my stick! No it’s mine! Your both wrong!
The three friends sharing a stick, Daddy, Junior, Ghost! Who knew one stick could be such fun! They did! If only humans could find such joy in the simple pleasure of chewing a stick with a few friends! They say dogs are dumb, I think not!

Who knew?
Yes this is Junior, he was sleeping on the floor of the living room and by the sounds of it having one hell of a dream! He was barking and howling like what ever it was he was having a lot of fun, and was quite busy in what ever it was he was chasing. Well no sooner...
WHAT I ASKED FOR, WHAT I NEEDED
When I got my new dog I asked for strength that I might rear her perfectly; I was given weakness that I might feed her more treats. I asked for good health that I might rest easy; I was given a "special needs" dog that I might know nurturing. I asked for an obedient...
How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're worrying about a stupid burned out bulb? BORDER COLLIE: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code. DACHSHUND: You know I can't reach...
simplicity
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring -- it was peace.
Things we can learn from a dog
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride. When a loved one comes home, always run to greet them. Take naps, and stretch before rising. Be loyal. Never pretend you're something you're not. When somebody is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle...

Gotta wear shades
This is my little Misses, we were in the truck diving along and it was bright out so my husband but his Oakley glasses on her to shade her eyes from the sun. She didn't seem to mind wearing them as you can see, and even had the look to say " ya, that's right !...

” MUD “
“Mud, mud, glorious mud. Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood” so says the old Flanders & Swann's Hippopotamus Song and I agree. We are gathered here today brethren to sanctify Dog’s slimey creation. Mmmmm, muddddd! Sure it feels and smells great, but its...
