A very happy Got Day to the absolute bestest most pointy eared dog on urth. It's hard to believe that we've had him for 7 years now. Mr. Big and Fluffy continues to be a total goofball and a delight, and I have no idea how we got along without him. Since I lost my wallet, had to cancel the credit...

I got two electronic ultrasonic mouse repellers and a "Tomcat" live catch multi-mouse trap at Tractor Supply Company last Thursday. I plugged in the repellers, one downstairs and one in the attic, but the mice are still running around and driving me and Muttley nutzo. My multiple catch trap is a...

Tuesday night, I went to Dayton Dog Training with a friend, who mentored me in dog training way back in the 80's. I belong to Dayton Dog Training, because I was brought in through another friend, who wanted me to take over the tracking program. She started me in tracking back in 1990. Her dogs...

I've mentioned before that Pan is a grumpy old bitch. Well, lately, I think it's going a bit beyond that. We are dog sitting Luna, and Pan is going out of her way to make her life miserable. She's giving her the stary eyes of doom, growling at her at every opportunity, body blocking her, doesn't...

http://wral.com/news/local/story/2418237/ The weather here is has rapidly gone from bad to worse. The drought is bad, but the winds today haven't let up all day long. I've lost count as to how many counties are actively fighting fires right now. The highest wind gusts we've seen have been...

Tuck went to school today. The Selective mutism subject helped set up Tuck's tricks. He's still not talking either in the classroom or for Tuck, but he's much more relaxed with Tuck and now knows the drill enough to help set up Tuck's trick props. He's doing hand signals more easily and...

Lab for sale - real cheap. At this point, she's free. Here I sit, 6:30 am, windows and doors open in February, and 1 dog who's had a bath already today. Why? Somebody's dear sweet Atty (she's not mine this morning) decided to roll her head through deer poop or some type of poop whilst out...

Sorry for all my off topic questions lately, but Cubbe is fine, healthy, and not particularly amusing lately. I can't think of anything to report about her, and I've been running into odd questions that beg for a bunch of usenet buddies more than googling. I feel like I'm asking for hangover...

We just got an update on Bear, who is now called Buster. The people who took him already had a dog called Bear, so they named our bear, Buster. --------------------------------------------------------------- message: just wanted to send you some pictures of Buster, to let you know he is doing...

Inspired by the expectations thread, I'm just wondering if anyone's seen "At the end of my leash." It's a Canadian series, but I think it's available on National Geographic as well. What did you think? The show is only a half hour and just shows highlights, so it's a little difficult to see the...

A stray male cow dog wandered up to my place a few weeks ago. He was almost starved and needed a lot of water and sleep. My other dog needed a companion for a while, so I fed, watered and took care of him. Recently, I've had to tie the dogs down due to their tendency to wander. The stray...

I woke up this morning to crystal skies, no wind, a temperature of 6F, and 5" of fluffy, beautiful snow. It was obviously going to be a perfect day on the trail. But that's not what I did. Instead, I drove to Fort Erie, Ontario to rendez-vous with and bring home Nduringpeace's Captain Jack, an...

Janet, a person in Maryland has an American Bulldog charging people. She thinks the dog is a big baby, and the awesome threatening displays that scare the pants off people are funny. Because SHE knows the dog has never carried through and hurt anyone. She thinks the dog is playing, and does...

Hello all, I was reading about what to feed my dog and it triggered a childhood memory. When I was a kid, back in the sixties, we had a terrier mix, and my mother, a city girl, used to insist on feeding it store bought dog food, I think mostly alpo types, maybe because the advertisements said they...

Hi y'all, I had such a fun shopping day and wanted to share it. We set out to find the new Petsmart. I have told the younger dogs they are getting a new Cuz or Dino or the longest time. First stop was Walgreen's Rx, after driving around and around to find Petsmart. Since we couldn't find it,...
