Sage and Pepper's Musings

Life through the eyes of two German Shepherds and their staff.


  • A bit cleaner

    A bit cleaner

    The house interior is beginning to look better – it got a bit of a cleaning today and they took up all the protective stuff on the floor. Our front door has frosted glass (never noticed it before) and the ground irrigation system is being installed for the neighbours. We’re still 40-ish days from taking… Continue reading

  • North American Beaver

    On the way back from a walk with the dogs, Claudia mentioned we have a native enjoying his dinner. Continue reading

  • More progress

    More progress

    Yes, it’s incremental, but it’s taking shape. A front door etc. I am curious what those doors in the garage are for though LOL – could be for the study that’s off the dining area. Continue reading

  • In progress

    In progress

    The house is making significant progress towards completion. On a quick walk through today I took measurements for planning purposes and even poked my head into the attic to look at what’s up there. Some of the photos won’t make sense – they are only there for me to document the number of electrical outlets… Continue reading

    Guest Post: The Pets of Europe

    It’s me again, Stephen (the hairless one) presently sitting in Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris waiting to fly back to Heathrow and thought I’d provide a Furries of Europe update. As you can see, a great variety of cats and dogs encountered on my travels which I have thoroughly enjoyed, especially been away from… Continue reading

    Guest post: Stephen, aka The Hairless One

    Great time in the UK so far. Had dinner last night with my cousin and aunt I’ve not seen in 15 years and spent today with them again which was absolutely lovely. I have three culinary aims for this trip – fish and chips, an English breakfast and a curry. Two of the three have… Continue reading

  • She likes bones

    She likes bones

    Pepper seems to enjoy chewing her bones – they keep her entertained for hours and other than her thinking I’m is after them (I’m not), it’s a perfect way for her to relax. Keeps her off my tail, too. Meanwhile, I got a brushing this morning. At first I couldn’t decide whether to get off… Continue reading

  • Biscuits!

    Biscuits!

    The hairless one made my favourite dog biscuits today and after they cooled, decided to give us both one (or two). Of course, my sister Pepper had to then just stretch out on the floor for belly rubs. It also appears that the hairless one is leaving on a trip. He mumbled something about The… Continue reading

  • Horse and Bison

    Horse and Bison

    Well, it seems my new “sister” has taken a shine to a couple of my favourite toys. I’ll let her. She’s become less of a pain in recent days – she used to try stopping me from being petted by the humans but I reminded her that I am the senior dog and she needs… Continue reading
