It's amazing how one thing out of order can totally freak out Buddy. Yesterday Mike cleaned his riding boots and sat them in the sun at the bottom of the dog ramp. About 6 I left the dogs out before supper Lady and Gabby ran down the ramp and out into the yard and didn't miss a beat. Buddy...

A bit over a year ago I bought a cheap knock-off of a "Flexi" lead from Harbor Freight Tools. It was on sale for about $6 or so. I had a smaller one, but that was rated only for dogs up to about 50 lb, and Muttley (as y'all know) is a bit heftier than that. So this one, rated up to about 110...

Hi all, I went to pick up the dog trainer for our first session today from the ferry terminal. She walks up the ramp with a horse whip in her hand! Huh? I laughed as she said all sessions begin with a good beating Excellent, she has a sense of humour. I can work with that. I've met Zoë...

I thought this was clever, from Sleddog Central: I once had a friend who bought, scrap, a long tanker trailer (milk, I think). He cut it in half, separating top from bottom. He put the 2 halves end to end, cut out the end pieces and welded them together. He mounted it...

I'm really looking forward to having some direction. Kiba and I are muddling through, but he's SO willing, and smart, that I know I'm doing him a disservice being such an ignorant owner. So we've hired a trainer to come and help us. Wish us luck... More later, -- Phyrie Kiba the Cav's...

We have a great pyr/ saint mix. He is 14 months old and we have had him for 6 months. He has been a great dog since we have gotten him. We are able to leave him unattended in the house with no problems (except a few destroyed toys). We recently started a house renovation. Since this has...

I was following the the thread and wanted to comment on the good advice on agility. As some of you may know I am a three mile a day walker with four dogs lashed to my waist. Been doing it for years and we're all in pretty good shape. To say nothing of being amusement for the locals. "you need a...

When brushing or combing is not routine, mats become bigger and the skin may be pulled almost constantly. It can actually full the hair out of their skin. Each time a dog gets wet, the mat tightens more and becomes even more painful for the animal. Skin can become irritated and ulcerated from the...

Duke's PAL number arrived last week. No muss, no fuss, and a quick turnaround time. Thanks to everyone who looked at his peeechurs and made suggestions! Now I have to decide whether I want to enter both dogs in the same shows, which would be economical, or finish up Ranger's titles before...

It stormed last night. Rain, wind, thunder, lightning, the whole 9 yards. At about 1 in the morning my daughter got a phone call from two of her friends. They'd seen two dogs running down the road and had managed to coax one of them into the truck. The other bolted. The girl's parents won't...

WHY??? Why do itty bitty women love to walk great big dogs that they can't control, and send everyone in their part skittering , parting like the Red Sea, running in fear for their lives, and feeling threatened by their dog, knowing if their big dog decided to make lunch out of your dog, there...

I was out weeding my, um, "garden" the other night, and looked up to see that I was being supervised. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/2701938143/ The one on the left, blowing a raspberry, is Kayla. She is rotten to the core and has more energy than the Energizer bunny. I am smitten...

I never agreed with those who found fault with Shelly. I always liked her and thought she was a pretty straight person. Until now.... "I want Briard & kitten pictures!" "I want a full-body shot of Alec." How LITTLE did I know I was being totally set up. (Note to self: next time one decides to...

In 1969, John Rendall & Ace Berg saw a lion cub for sale in Harrods. Cramped & lonely in a small cage, they decided to bring it home. A local vicar allowed them to exercise the cub, now named Christian, in the church grounds but he very quickly became too big for their flat. The only thing they...
