Google is not my friend today. There have been threads that recommended good books on dog behavior, training, etc. Our library is looking to add to its collection and I could use either a link to some of the threads or some suggestions. All I could primarily find when aGoogling was a bunch of...

Muttley and I met Larka once again on the NCRR trail: www.smart.net/~pstech/Muttley/Larka&Muttley_200808-05.jpg www.smart.net/~pstech/Muttley/Muttley&Larka_200808-06.jpg www.smart.net/~pstech/Muttley/Muttley&Larka_200808-07.jpg She is a Native American Indian Dog, a close relative of the...

So, heading to flyball practice last Sunday we had a full load in the van. In addition to me, my son and daughter and our three dogs, we also had the 6th grader my daughter gives horseback riding lessons to and her two Aussies (her family fosters aussie rescue), and my son's best friend. 5...

Elegy said in part... I think the more advanced exercises are dead interesting to learn.......but the rigidity of it all turns me off. ____________________________ Elegy, I am with you 100%. It is so inane to require that your dog sits straight, etc. I got into AKC obedience training because...

Melinda said in part... My mother thought Barbie was kind of trashy................ ___________________ Melinda I agree with your mother. I have always thought that, though my kids did play with them. My grandaughter plays with Bratz dolls. They still dress a little sleazy but they have a more...

Montana said in part... This is a great video of what having your dog's attention looks like. ____________________ elegy said and having fun while training, which is so important to me. _________________________ elegy, It sounds like you two have got it going on ( I can't see youtube). I used...

Friday and I just returned from the 2008 Canadian Agility Nationals. This year they were in Sussex, New Brunswick, a very nice, somewhat small town in the maritimes. 400 crazy dog people descended upon this town and all had a great time. Friday did well on the 8 hour flights. He's an...

Today I took Carmine with me on a trip into Boise and we stopped at the vet so I could use their scale and stock up on more heartworm prevention meds and got the shock of my life. Carmine came to us weighing 96.5 pounds. We immediately put him on a diet and he looked pretty good fairly quickly but...

I went to Costco today for some groceries. They have an ice cold "produce room" which is brutal, but I digress. They had containers of champagne grapes. I love these little things - they burst on your tongue and are a great mindless snacking item! Normal grapes seem so drying, but these...

My sister has a Mastiff/German Shepard mix although it looks almost pure Mastiff to me. The dog is a female and I guess still a puppy but she is large and growing big and bigger every day. I don't see any German Shepard in her at all. Also, my sister got her fixed a month ago. Here is...

The owner of the dog and I both agree that in the grand scheme of things, this pobably doesn't matter, but it is annoying the hell out of her, so I thought I'd ask for opinions here and get back to her. Lady from the dog park has two dogs, Oliver (male Boxer, a little over a year old) and Sid...

Late Wednesday afternoon a big thunderstorm rolled through, with lots of rain, so I turned off the computer, and soon after, the power went out. The BGE crews "got on it" and I heard chainsaws in the distance. Muttley and I walked up the street to investigate, but the problem seemed to be up on...

Oppie goes in Monday to have his left eye removed. The retina deteriorated more than a year and a half ago, with evidence of retinal bleeds. Last week it suddenly became inflamed, cloudy, and you could see through the cornea that another bleed had taken place. And there was sudden onset...

Took Ranger to Fort Dodge yesterday and today for a weekend of UKC obedience trials. The main differences in Novice between AKC and UKC is that the AKC "long down" is an honor down in UKC, and that the UKC recall is over a jump. Those bits were a piece of cake. Four trials in two days. Four...

Thanks again for all your suggestions to my query about attaching outside curtains. I've begun working on them and have settled on attaching the large clip type rings to the tops of them. The fabric isn't heavy at all. It's weatherproof, but has more of a cottony/nylon feel to it. The panels...
