My little petunia: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/2843400437/ A close-up (don't view while eating): http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/2844235046/ Those were taken about two minutes after getting home. Harriet's first order of business was to hoover the kitchen floor. Obviously, her...

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...

Heya all! :) So here is the deal. I bought this online dog training manual and have had good success with all the basics. Was wondering if there is a better one for harder tricks, or am I on the right path? The one I am using, I found here http://qsoffroadinc.com/mydoglistens Any input is...

The school Tuck does Children Reading to Dogs for,just contacted me and asked me to do a trick show/child safety representation to the entire elementary classes every Wednesday and Thursday through the month of December until we have covered all of the classes, in addition to his READ programs....

It has been an exhausting two weeks. but we are home and we have power finally. we evacuated to san antonio tx with the dogs. and i'm quite proud of the dogs. we were invited to someone's "do" dogs, and I'm pretty sure the dogs won over our hosts. Watching the news from afar was excruciating. ...

It is bad enough to read the perverted values of the dog abusers and dog killers who post their manaical slaverings encouraging more mayhem upon animals; but now I read one of them calling Jerry Howe unctuous. I have not yet been able to afford the Oxford English Dictionary - just think of it 20...

This sounds like it will be pretty good: http://iditarodblogs.com/news/2008/09/10/discovery-channel-world-premiere-series-iditarod-begins-october-7/ My understanding is that they put cameras on the sleds of the mushers they're following, which allowed them to get some great footage without having...

I have little experience with meats (Surprise!), so imagine my surprise when I found out that there are meats out there that are worse than liver. Yes, I'm talking about Babe. Did you know that pig beats mint extract, rose essence AND sandalwood extract combined? I almost cried when I found...

Hello, everyone! Just thought I'd drop in and post some photos. Life is GREAT here with the dogs (and the cats). I hope everyone here is doing well, too. Hendrix, being ever so helpful while I was gardening, excavated my pesky broadband cable (that was...

Hanna is supposed to blow right over us tonight. Batteries, bottled water, bathtub filled. Ready to hunker down. td

My family usually had a dog around the house while I grew up, and when both my daughters entered elementary school I started thinking seriously about getting one for the family. I had always enjoyed their company, and I thought the exercise of walking them would do me good. While I mentioned...

Yesterday, I had been in several locations, and somewhere in my travels, I had lost my cell phone. On return home, and after some time I missed the cell phone and realized (when I tried to call it to locate it,) that it was not at home. so I packed my tracking dog (Tuck)in the car, and went off...

I did a home visit yesterday. Single guy, renting with two roomies, no prior dog experience. Took the dogs with me. The guy didn't acknowledge them, didn't pet them, didn't ask about them, nothing. Basically pretended they didn't exist. The roommate who opened the door was scared of Pan...

We had a big weekend here at the Zoo. Obedience and Rally at the Des Moines shows yesterday and today for Ranger, Rally for Duke today. Yesterday, Ranger did not qualify in Novice A obedience (we were the first ones in!). His heeling was relatively good, but he'd made friends with the gate...

Hi! My dog is at the vet being neutered. I know they will have lots of advice for us when we pick him up but if any of you have anything to add (especially the stuff they often leave out), I'd appreciate it!
