Oh such sad news JudyN. :( After Sirius' wonderful walk yesterday today didn't go quite as well. We encountered a different yard dog today. There is a house that essentially runs a salvage operation out of their yard. They have a bulldog. Sky has encountered this dog several times and while I wouldn...

Horray for Bax having fun in the mud puddles. :D I encouraged Sky to steer clear of the large puddles we encountered today. :) Great walk with Sirius today. We went around the park and she now also likes to take the long way home around the block. (We are still working on her "straight ahead&qu...

Great news with Jack Jacksdad. I know you have done a lot of work and taken a long journey with him. Last night we had heavy rain, and thunderstorms. This morning we had a bit of a reprieve, before things started up again. I really do think the medication is helping Sirius. She went out in the yard ...

Best wishes Erica! The infrared camera sound like fun JudyN. I hope it turns out to be affordable and also solves the mystery of what is upsetting J. Dogs here are having most of their walks at the local park. Sometimes walking from the house, sometimes driving to the park and then walking, sometime...

I was so sorry to read this news. I know that was a really hard decision and not being able to have things as you would have liked them must have made it even harder. I know Annie was so special to you and you worked very hard to giver her the best and most comfortable life possible. )))))))))))))))...

Poor Bax. Sky seems to have managed to just start blowing undercoat now, but is starting from the bottom and working up. Fortunately our snow was pretty worthless. Only a couple of inches of wet heavy stuff that has now turned to a sheet of ice thanks to the frigid temperatures. The visit with the p...

Meet and greet scheduled with the pet carers next week. If that goes well, there will be a test visit the following week. Although it is looking like our weekend get away is going to turn into a day trip and pets will only need a single visit for potty break while we are gone. I am such a cheapskate...

Thank you for that input Erica. I knew we would likely need to have a meet and greet at some point before the actual trip, as they have never cared for the dogs before and would need to be shown about their food and Sirius' medicine. I was kind of thinking about having the test be one of feeding the...

Good to hear from you Diane. :D We are working on arrangements to travel later this year to hear a guest speaker at one of the out of state dog mushing clubs. Usually we take the dogs with us when we travel, but this location isn't looking to be very Sirius appropriate. All of the motels in the area...

Yay Jasper!

Happy news Nettle with your client! :D I have been wanting to make a snuffle mat but have yet to find a suitable base as described in a video which I saw. Sirius had a pretty amazing walk tonight. She has been on what is intended to be her regular dosage of medication for about a week now. It is abo...

A lovely day yesterday and lovely walks with both dogs.

Now to get lunch eaten and get them out today while the sun is shining and before the strong winds come through tonight.

Ahhhhh so comfy and snuggly looking. Lucky Ari.

Great news Bax and Erica. I am determining that I probably need to go somewhere to be trained how to train a dog. :lol: My timing must be off or something. The dogs seem to start out offering a desired behavior, but quickly stop. Sky I know is three and out, but Sirius is usually better although lat...

Good boy Ari!
