• Everybody’s Walking

  Rarely do I take all the dogs for a walk at once. I usually only attempt it when my husband is with me. So, it’s a treat when he decides to come with us. Here’s some pictures from our walk the other day. The typical way it starts is with a little chaos! Then everyone settled into their walk, except that Penny’s nose took her into a sagebrush. Deep into the sagebrush. LOL I don’t have a clue what she [...]

• Packing Up For Another Fun Weekend

  So, this morning we’re packing up the rest of what we’ll need for a three day ASCA agility trial in Farmington. Zoe is the only one I have entered this time. I had originally planned on entering both Zoe and Layla, but on re-reading the rules for eligibility for ASCA, Layla isn’t old enough to compete yet. In hindsight it was a blessing all the way around really. I thought her first AKC trial went fine, but it definintely showed [...]

• Some Changes

  So, I just want to let everyone know that you will probably start seeing occasional links in my posts that don’t really have anything to do with anything. Hopefully it won’t be too annoying and you can just keep reading without it bothering you! The reason for the change is that a friend of mine has talked me into using the blog to generate some extra income. In light of my husband’s layoff from work, I’m game to try just [...]

• 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 [...]

• Some Quick Updates

  I thought I better write a quick update. Last week passed in a blur as usual and I didn’t get anything posted. I’ve been working on getting our little office/laundry room textured and painted, and now I’m just waiting on my husband to finish up his part of staining the cabinet doors and hanging them. Then I’ll post pictures. Things have been incredibly slow for both the cabinet shop where my husband works and also here at the boarding kennel. [...]

• Wasting Time

  So, anyone else out there just have the feeling that you’re wasting your time? Not just by reading this blog, LOL but in general? I’ve been feeling that way a lot lately. I know that part of my problem is that I hate winter. I could ramble on for pages about how much I hate this time of year. I sometimes wish I was one of those animals that just hibernates through the winter only to wake up when spring [...]

• First Project of the Year, DONE!

  It’s been a long time since I’ve tackled a project like this. I used to change things around and re-decorate and stuff a lot. In recent years the thought of doing anything hasn’t really inspired me to action. So, when I got the urge to take on the dogs’ room I thought I’d better act before I lost the motivation. I’ve had the Sheltie’s crates (where they sleep and eat), spread somewhat helter skelter throughout the house. It really bugged [...]

• Writer’s Block, or Something Like That.

  I keep looking at this blog thinking that I need to post something, but I just can’t seem to find the motivation to actually do it. It’s certainly not for lack of things to write about. We had an incredibly busy month in Oct. with agility trials, training and traveling…yet, I just don’t feel like writing. I find myself still checking everyone else’s blogs daily to see what everyone has been doing lately, but it feels a bit like cheating, [...]

• Zack is Back Again

  Our old foster boy Zack is back again. He’s here just for the week while his family is out of town. He still is just the same old Zacky boy. Incredibly stubborn, yet, endearing. He will be here till either Friday or Saturday, so I guess his stay is actually nearly over. He fits in so well that I don’t really notice that we’ve got an extra dog here most of the time. Zoe doesn’t share my opinion though. She [...]

• Incredibubbles!

  Since I’ve been trying to expose Dare to something new each day, I’ve found myself buying all kinds of silly things. The other day I saw these Incredibubbles on Clean Run and thought that they looked too fun. They are advertised to be long lasting, (they don’t pop right away), and they are scented/flavored to be appealing to the dogs. I have to say after letting Dare and then the other dogs try them out, none of my crew were [...]
