• Thanks to “That Mutt”

  Just wanted to take a minute and say thank you to Lindsay and Ace over at That Mutt. They have a great blog for any of you that haven’t had a chance to check it out. They are always talking about something thought provoking, whether it’s related to dog training or companion pet rescue. Back to my reason for this post. I went to the mail and had a nice package waiting for me…(sure beats finding bills)! LOL A company [...]

• Obedience Trial Update

  As usual, it’s taking me about a week to get settled back into routine after being out of town. I meant to post sooner, but never had the chance. Twist was entered in three days of Obedience this past weekend. Unfortunately, he didn’t qualify any of the days. The good news was that each day he did better. On Sunday he had finished all the exercises and was qualifying and actually in first place with a 191 when we went [...]

• Rogue Update 05-08-09

  A couple of people have asked about how Rogue is doing since we let her go for an evaluation to our friends at Sheltie Rescue of Utah. So, here’s a brief update of what I know. As of yesterday, she was beginning to settle in to the point that she was beginning to play with another one of the Shelties in the house. That’s good news! She’s being just a little tricky about trying to eat her treat without getting [...]

• Time for a Break?

  After hearing from the vet about Rogue’s meds this time around, I find myself frazzled. It’s been 5 months since we started medicating Rogue, and even though I tend to be a pessimist…I think I set my hopes too high. I really thought that we’d be seeing some very noticeable progress by now, and so yesterday in frustration I called our friends at Sheltie Rescue for some advice. I know that they won’t sugarcoat things for me, if I ask [...]

• We’re Going to Camp W!

  I haven’t posted about this before now because I wanted to make sure that our registration had been accepted first. I finally got the email confirmation that I’d been waiting for…yesterday! So, the good news is we’re going to Camp W in Lake Tahoe again this year in September! Woohoo! We got to go back in 2007 and we had a fantastic time. I took Twist and Zoe with me that year. It’s just a camp where you have the [...]

• Layla’s Charm

  The other day we were visiting one of our favorite Sheltie blogs, Reilly the CowSpot Dog. If you haven’t already, you should drop by and read all about Reilly’s adventures! http://cowspotdog.blogspot.com/ Reilly’s mom had found these great little Sheltie Charms on one of their adventures, and she was sharing three of them with some of their readers. How fun is that? Well, we had a nice suprise in the mail today, a super cute card with Reilly on it, and [...]

• Weekend Update

  This week is getting away from me quicker than I expected. LOL We had a really nice weekend! Friday started off with an obedience lesson for Twist and Raven. We have lots and lots to work on before the Utah Sheltie Specialty at the end of April. That’s good though. Saturday and Sunday we spent at the DOCNA trial. I only had Zoe entered, but then they offered day of trial entries, so I broke down and entered Raven for [...]

• Can We Start Over?

  Today is one of those days that you just wish you could have a do-over! I just hate it when a week gets off to a bad start, it’s hard to recover. First we just got word that one of our friends had to say goodbye to their 14 year old Malinois this morning. He was just one of those dogs that was bigger than life. Even though he was 14, you just kind of expected that he was always [...]

• It’s Good to Have Friends

  So, we went for a walk yesterday and Penny found this hole in the snow. I don’t know what it went to, but the series of pictures that I got just cracked me up!

• Twist and Layla

  I just had to share a short little clip of Layla and Twist’s morning play routine. They usually play like this for a good 1/2 hour or so before they take a little nap and then start right back up again.
