Harlan and I went to check out a Pet Therapy Pre-Test. It was pretty interesting. I think two big things we need to practice a 1) walking on loose lead and paying attention (the lead is mostly lose, but he's not really paying much attention to what I'm doing as I am not as interesting as the...

Anybody remember that oldie? Know where I could get a recording? At our Walkathon this morning, I saw my first 'Free Style' or 'Dances with Dogs'. I was underwhelmed by the performances, and immediately began a choreography in my head for Mac. Anybody got ideas for cool moves? Or themes? The...

Hello all, I have a yellow lab that is almost 2 years old. We just moved into a new home with a very nice backyard and he's been going to town on it since we moved in (about 5 weeks ago). In the old house there was an old flower bed that surrounded the yard that was nothing but dirt and he would...

So far this morning I have had a very ill dog tied to my gate,two phone calls from doofuses that want to get rid of their dog, and way too many phone calls this weekend for give ups and dogs needing help. Oh yes and a rescue person that lost a dog bringing the dog to me! So I am off to bring the...

I live with two GSDs, so hair continuously everywhere. My vaccum does okay, but I think it could be better. Anyone try one of those Dyson vacuums that are specially made to pick up pet hair? They're pretty pricey. Wish I had wood floors everywhere ....

well, we've found a house (no, not the republican house), and it needs a fence. the grassy part of the yard is 1.2 acres, and we'd like to fence the whole thing. the house is in a rural area, off a dead end street, with very little traffic. there's a large hillside between the yard and the road,...

Since I've _almost decided to have no more permanent animals of my own, I'm constructing a wall of memories. What medium do you prefer? Not satisfied with some recent work of a pastel artist. Would you look at this conversion of a graphite sketch? Which do you prefer ... the sketch or the photo...

Kavik had a bladder infection as a pup. Kavik has always been extremely suspicious of those who would attempt to collect his pee. I remember having to hide in a bush while mike walked him on the other side of the bush and try to manuever the pie plate into position amongst the thorns. If Kavik...

hi, my previous dog liked very much to chase a ball. I miss the communication we had. She was anti social, a greyhound who I think had a bad experience that she never got over. She would focus on me hitting the ball to her. My new one has no interest in it at all. She is outgoing, a real people...

My husband and I are at a loss as to what to do about a problem we have in a home we have just purchased. Because we are on an odd shaped corner lot, the neighbours fenceline runs horizontally only about 8' from the back of our house. This means that every time DH or I enter the yard, exit the...
