In our house around this time of year we start thinking about taking a family photo for our holiday newsletter. Subjects in the photo are varying numbers of dogs, depending on the year (the cat always seems to have good excuses for not being in the photo) and us most years. Some years we have [...]

Thank a Veteran — those still here and those who’ve left us!
Six Months

It’s been just a tad over six months since Ky left us.
I still miss him terribly. I feel his absence most in group classes. He had the anchoring energy even out of control dogs responded to. He could practically read my mind and I wouldn’t have to think twice about it. That allowed me to [...]
RePoe’s First Play Date
Posted in dog training, dogs, life, tagged dog training, dogs, Montana English Shepherds, pets on October 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
RePoe had a play date on Sunday. I’m sure it was the first in his entire life.
We had Ripple and her owner, Kerry, come for a private play session at the training center.
RePoe was mildly interested in Ripple, but not much. Ripple loves coming to “school” so she took it all in stride. As long [...]
Repo

I met him Thursday, Sept 10th. A small, bright-eyed bundle of fur trying his best to plaster himself to the back of his travel crate while avoiding direct eye contact and being as doggy polite as he could be.
He’d started out the day before many states west of here in a life very different from [...]
Quigley’s Hips
Posted in Uncategorized on July 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Seven weeks to the day Ky left us, we were contacted out of the blue by a Leo breeder needing to re-home one of the dogs from her Q litter.
He is 2, very active and a possible candidate for a demo dog for me. The current family had a video online if we wanted to [...]
Paper Shredder vs. Tongue
Posted in dogs, life, tagged dog training, dogs, life, pet safety, pets on May 29, 2009 | 5 Comments »
For a couple of years now, I’ve heard of the dangers of dogs and paper shredders. Owners forget to turn them off or they’re not paying attention as the dog wanders in to see what they’re up to. Viola! Dog’s tongue ends up in the paper shredder!
I’m sure there are many owners who don’t even [...]
Start Slowly

Now the sun’s rising earlier and setting later and Memorial Day has kicked off the summer season, chances are you and your dog are enjoying more time outdoors. Longer hikes, camping, more Frisbee, more swimming are probably among the list of activities.
Remember, just like we can suffer pains and strains from being a Weekend Warrior [...]
H$US Not Happy
Posted in Uncategorized on May 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This may explain yesterday’s now blank YouTube post about H$US.
A TV report based in fact and actually interviewing one of the H$US’s own lobbyist has been taken down and removed from everywhere it had been posted. Like it never even happened.
Lawsuit? Politics as usual.
