http://www.adn.com/front/story/532339.html My DVD of last year's race (the one covered in the upcoming series) arrived yesterday and the footage is absolutely spectacular. The previews I've seen for the Discovery series have the same "and everybody could die any minute!" breathlessness of "Ice...

Hi, I wanted to wait until we had the consultation with the veterinarian/behaviorist before I posted an update. Bear has improved some over the past few weeks but it has been slow. He has gotten better about going outside but it's been a struggle to get him to come back through the doorway. The...

....what do you do? Since we had the dog trainer over, my husband and I have been working quite productively towards educating Kiba. He's a quick eager learner, and now that we have some useful tools, he's really making progress. I saw Victoria Stillwell teach Presley the boxer "leave it" on...

Anyone see Bones last night? I thought they did a pretty good job of covering the fight to the death pit pull topic and treated it with some amount of truth and respect. That's while realizing that it is television and fiction, so some things weren't exactly documentary. That was the first...

My daughter's neighbours bought a purebred yellow lab puppy in early July. Why they thought they could handle a seven week old baby dog when he's a paramedic, she's a nurse, and they have a tiny toddler about two years old is beyond me. Daisy's yard doesn't have a fence, so she spends a lot of...

Well, it was a bit higher today, but that is attributed to in-house rather than outside lab. In other words, no real change. Her urine SG OTOH, was lower than desirable, at 1.023. I talked about food and my vet wants her on a low protein, high water food. She wants me to switch to Purina...

Cash-pup has figured out how to get his 'satillite dish' off on his own. It's there another 4 days as his neutering heals up. He tucks the right side under the sofa, then rapidly rolls to the left. 'Pop go the snaps!'

Happy Birfday Mr. Zipper! Yes, he's got titles. Ch, NA, NAJ, RSN, JSN, UAg1. But his most important title? Lord of the Laundry. http://www.totalminpin.net/images/zipper/laundry7mo.jpg

your vet tell you that not only is your 11.75 yo dog in incredibly good shape, but that she fully expects her to see 16! Lucy had her annual exam today. Her last one was a year ago this coming Saturday, the same day we lost Franklin. That made it a little hard to go to the animal hospital. I...
