Dog Training….Unraveled

If you’re here

If you read this blog at all, it’s probably because you either know me or at least like dogs. If you are a fan of small flat faced beasties, as I am - I would like to direct your attention to Pug Rescue of San Diego.
Pug Rescue has been slammed this year with dogs. […]

Silly Squeaker

So, I took the doggies to the local school yesterday to play ball. No, we don’t trespass, we play on the grass that is out front and not fenced. Yes, we pick up our poo. Yes, we wait until all the kiddies have gone away so as not to bother anyone.
Anyway, it’s one of […]

Heavy feet

It baffles me that we have two cats who weigh very close to the same and yet the difference in how they walk is huge. When Lacey walks on you you can barely feel her there. She ever so lightly creeps up and snuggles with you and you would barely notice her except for the […]

35 Weeks

Rescue work

Ah, well, the reason I do rescue work is to give back. Dogs have supported me my entire life, so I feel it is my duty to give something back. But oh man, is it ever frustrating. I only do rescue work in addition to training, there are people out there who rescue is all […]

Wags for Wishes ‘08

Wags was somewhat of a disappointment this year. Yes, there were extenuating circumstances, the fair extended it’s dates, which threw the horsepark out of whack, which in turn simply knocked Wags off the calendar. I know the organizers scrambled to find a venue large enough to accommodate all the activities and vendors and did the […]
