Well, the little yellow ape is graduating from the T-field. If you figure that Obedience and Collar Conditioning is Pre-School, Force Fetch and early singles 1st through 2nd grade, Force to pile...
Oh my goodness... what fun! I'm afraid I'd fall and bust my behind, break a hip or something. The issue would be in the Emergency Room trying to explain to the doctor what a 72 year old grandmother...
I wonder if there has ever been another epidemic in which the healthy are locked down. Maybe someone knows the answer. There is so much conflicting information coming from the experts. I wish they...
Everyone has to be a "Karen". (Apologies to people actually named Karen). Next they'll be mask-shaming dogs.
This is the only bad part about loving a wonderful dog. I'm sorry for the pain I know you are experiencing. She fought the good fight and is at rest now. Bless you and your family.
Just found out my Yella pup's sire got his final point and now is a Field Champion. Not that is changes anything about how I feel about her. But Jack was sired (AI, obviously) by Cosmo (Dare to...
Totally, a Pinot Grigio would be too sweet.
Hmmm... maybe good for the dogs and me as well.
The supplements I mean. Not the Euk. I'd have trouble figuring out which wine to serve with the Euk.
IknowIknowIknowIknow how serious the situation is. I was an ICU nurse. Dying of respiratory failure is a terrible way to go. I'm 71 and survived cancer and don't have plans on taking any risks to...
I'm sorry I can't remember the brand name... maybe it is "Extreme" of the chow she was on, and I'm sorry I can't remember the protein percentage. Rocket Dog was also looking ribby late last winter,...
My pup (10 month old female) is in a pro's kennel and is super lean. Good muscle mass but very ribby looking. Great coat, super enthusiastic... healthy in every measurable way. She's eating 6...
I don't know... just a WAG, here. (Wild A$$ed Guess). For a lot of dogs, the noise is like saying "I'm outa here, maybe only in my head, but I'm fixing to break." So, you could try treating the...
Sure wish I could see your grounds. Sounds fabulous. But no more big drives for me for a long while. I sure wish this covid crap was over and done with. But I think we'll follow the usual...
Well, 1900 miles almost exactly from Reno, NV to Giddings, TX. Lordy it's a big country. But we made it. Only stopped by police once. (Crossed a middle line. Got a warning. Very nice Deputy.) ...
There may be a via media on this one. When I have a new puppy, I usually make a cozy bed for her/him right by me on the floor, close to the head of the bed where I will hear when she gets restless...
The first Bridget (a black, naturally) was born in 2008, had her MH at age 4 and went to the 2012 MN. She was almost totally trained and handled by a pro, but was a really sweet gal when she was...
So Bridget is now 15 weeks old. She's doing very well learning her basic commands and we've done it with almost totally R+ methods (She LOVES little bits of "Beggin' Strips"). However, walking on...
So I put a deposit down on a black female sired by a Cosmo son and out of a Grady dam. Kind of a real out-cross breeding. I have always had a prejudice about sticking with black dogs where the gene...
Update: I have finally returned to NV. I made a very tough decision to leave Rocket Dog with the pro in TX. She is showing some incredible growth with a confident and competent handler, and...
whew! Hate to see poor Cookie in the slammer!
Oh no... not another designer dog!
OK, another possible approach could be taken from Bill Hillmann's heeling video. Basically, it's a step at a time. And that's exactly what I mean. Day 1... one forward step. Sit. Wait. One...
I probably don't have to tell you how hard it is to get in to Master stakes in AKC. I've had no choice about choosing a venue in NV because there are no HRC clubs. But, being stranded in TX as I...
Wow, oh wow. You guys are really going through it and holding your own. God bless you.
