Hiking with Jimbo
We try to bring Jimbo hiking every weekend so he can run around freely off leash and so I have an excuse to shove sweaters on him to make him even cuter. He’s loving the fall brisk weather!
Jimbo’s Lullaby Trailer
So me and Joy have been working on a really reeeaaallly long term film project, illustrating Jimbo’s love for his yellow ball (aka Jimbo’s pursuit of “happiness”/Jimbo’s Lullaby). But that won’t be complete for a while. Still, we got some awesome footage this past weekend of Jimbo at the beach. So we decided to make [...]
Remy’s 1st Camping Trip
Remy is a city dog, an apartment dog. But this Labor Day weekend, I took Remy to the mountains for his first time camping. Remy rode in the front seat on the way up to the 4WD trail head, where we met up with my friend Young and Terri. We jumped into their 4Runner and made [...]
Rembrandt’s 1st Birthday
It’s Remy’s first birthday! Happy Birthday, Remy! I shot this video this morning – celebrating Rembrandt’s (a.k.a. Remy’s) first birthday at home in Denver. Thanks to our family in New Jersey, who sent a care package with some doggy cookies and a candle! He was so excited about it, he threw up!
Puppy Kisses for Sale
For those of you who haven’t seen my 365 day self-portraiture project, you may not know that Remy has been a recurring character in my portraits. Here is one from the last week. Remy exploits his cuteness to help us raise money for more photography equipment.
Remy, the peeping-tom…
Rembrandt learns a new hobby! With the late-spring rains bringing cooler air with them, we open the windows. Another dog barks in the distance, attracting Remy to investigate. He props himself up at the window sill. Whenever he can, Remy now enjoys just scanning the street below for other dogs passing by or barking in [...]
I need my Remy fix
It’s kind of sad that the only reason we call Jude (Denver) is to have a glimpse of Remy. Jude would call on his way home from work, and we’d be disappointed that Remy isn’t in his immediate vicinity. We’d call him (and I’m referring to Remy) via webcam and sit and stare, marveling at [...]
I <3 my new moaning zebra leg bone
“Nothing can get me over the loss of Remy…NOTHING…but this artificial, moaning, zebra hind leg carcass might help…” I like to imagine that’s what plays through Jimbo’s mind as he gnaws on his new toy. While my sister and I slept in to recover from the long 14 hour drive back from Chicago, Jimbo had [...]
Truckers & Tornados
How my dog Remy and I survived a tornado-birthing storm, thanks to a truckstop heroine named Desta.
Goodbye, Ma & Pa! Hello, Windy City!
“Remy, you’re the cutest….Jimbo, don’t worry. You’ll be the cutest by next week.”
That had been the usual running dialogue within the family for the past week as we prepared for Remy’s big move to Denver. While we’d fawn over Remy, his large head, cuddly nature, and free kisses, Jimbo would walk away in a huff–put [...]
The Havoc of Rampant Chewers
Jimbo has a lot of naughty habits. Whenever the front foyer door is open, he likes to sneak in to steal a shoe or two. Or if the bathroom garbage is full, he’ll lessen the load by stealing a wad of used tissue…and he’s absolutely aware of the fact that what he’s doing is bad. [...]
Remy in the City
For the past year, if there was one hour of one day of each week that is always always booked and can never be rearranged for anything…it would be Tuesdays at 8pm. For that 1 hour, nothing gets between me and the TV (I think it’s a severe symptom of being a Gleek). So when [...]
Jimbo’s Lullaby
Music: Claude Debussy’s “Jimbo’s Lullaby”
We actually didn’t want to release this footage yet, since we haven’t completed the video of Jimbo’s dream sequence. But most of our friends and family have watched it already, so we decided to post it anyway. It’ll probably be a while before we get any further in this project.
Leaping Bulldogs
Jimbo is anything but the stereotypical bulldog. He doesn’t drool. He doesn’t snore. We call him the “Anti-Bulldog.” With a tall, lean figure and a boundless supply of energy, rivaling that of the energizer bunny on 5 cans of red bull….Jimbo certainly deviates from the norm. Remy, on the other hand, is the very definition [...]
Counting Sheep
One sheep… Two Sheep…. Wait a minute, that’s not a sheep! For the past two weeks Jimbo’s been practicing jumping over fences all for this one segment in a dream sequence we are planning on producing – a video that will come about waaaaay way in the future.
Remy
Remy is the newest addition to our family, and is specifically my (Jude’s) personal bulldog. Remy joins our home at 7 months old – an older puppy – and proves to be Jimbo’s opposite. While Jimbo clatters around the house like Dennis the Menace, Remy drags his chubby paws in hunt for love. Although he’s [...]
Winter Twilight
Jude rarely visits nowadays, but when he does he always takes gorgeous shots of Jimbo. Even after a long evening flight, there’s no one he appreciates being greeted by more than the family pups. And with Jimbo being one of his favorite models, a puppy photoshoot is always on his weekend agenda. The following pics [...]
Bowties & Sweaters
Our mom often complains about how much money we’re willing to spend on our dogs. There are, of course, the necessary vet bills, and the overpriced but healthier dog foods…but does he really NEED another sweater? And bowties? Really?!……….yes
The Labyrinth
I had been shoveling the 2 feet of snow in the front driveway, wishing that Jimbo could keep me company during the chore and thinking about how the snow paths I dug out would tower over Jimbo’s height, when it occurred to me that I could build an awesome maze in the backyard for him. [...]
Gobble Day!
Gobble Day from Jude Tibay on Vimeo.
We’ve been slacking on updating our posts! Instead of turkey & mashed potatoes, Jimbo likes eating leaves for Thanksgiving.
Halloween!
Halloween for us was a 2 day event this year, starting Saturday with the “STRUT YOUR MUTT” CANINE HALLOWEEN COSTUME PARADE at Brookdale Park, NJ and ending on Sunday night with a flock of trick-or-treaters “oooohing” & “ahhhing” at Jimbo’s embarrassing halloween costume. Several people complemented him on his outfit, and even though he didn’t [...]
