Today Sirius met the vet behaviorist. She wasn't too sure about the vet, but as the vet kept tossing yummy treats her way, after a while she went over to have a sniff. She received treat bombs every time someone came in or left the room and she thought that was great. She wasn't at thrilled about th...

Very cool Erica!

They do know those food related words don't they JudyN?

Thank you Nettle. The having the right dog show up at the wrong time does seem to be the downside of seeking an adult as opposed to a puppy. Of the breeders I have been recommended to contact, one has only had one boomerang ever, and the other two only slightly more. All of them only breed every few...

I'm loving the pictures. I got to skip out of work early today and took the dogs for a very relaxing walk at the battlefield. Sirius volunteered to join Sky in a bath on Saturday, by finding something black and oily looking to roll in which is now smeared on the side of her neck and she keeps wantin...

Sky retired last year and I miss scootering. I think more so this year than last year. I have determined to take steps to remedy this situation. I have also determined that there is a Samoyed in my future. I have gone back and forth on this because of the grooming requirements of the breed as well a...

My poor dogs got left at home with the cat while we went to my parents' house for family Christmas. Brother is fearful of dogs and SIL is allergic to them. No reason to ruin somebody else's Christmas pleasure by brining the dogs along. We got back home in time for me to take both dogs out for walks....

Great news Shalista and Bax.

Happy Birthday Jasper!

So proud of my lil man. I recently started supplementing his raw meat with frozen peas and he completely ignores his meat to pick out every single pea and eat them first. He's better about eating his greens then i am <3 :D That is very impressive Shalista. My dogs won't touch vegetables unless they...

I have just ordered some joint supplements to give to my dogs. I have been giving a vitamin supplement which contains some amount of glucosamine and chondroitin but I tend to give the dogs half dose so if one of them ends up eating the other's it won't matter, plus since they are fed raw I don't fee...

Good to hear from you Diane. I wish your news were able to be better. I had been wondering how things were going with you. Hang in there. I hope things find a resolution with the neighbors dog.

JudyN, that looks like a pretty calm excited greeting to me. :lol: Maybe not a relaxed greeting? Maybe toned down a bit by the friend being non threatening with the backwards approach? (wild speculation on the part of a relative newbe to dogs. :lol: ) My dogs tend to be all wiggly and practically be...

Sirius offers her sympathies to those dealing with fireworks. I took Sky to a scavenger hunt yesterday hosted by the local dog park. I had decided ahead of time that if there were a bunch of dogs there that were barking at Sky, we would pass on the hunt. I had also rehearsed a bit of a speech about ...

Yay Jack and Jacksdad! I so love it when joggers know how to behave when around a strange dog. :D As I was heading out of the park with Sirius today, a jogger was heading in. There are good sight lines so still plenty of distance between us and time and space for me to move off of the sidewalk. I mo...

I have been mostly walking the dogs at the park behind the house recently since OH is no longer walking with me and days are getting shorter. Thus making a drive to the battlefield pointless as it would be dark when we arrived. Last night I was thinking on some place to take the dogs today. It is a ...
