Dog Training….Unraveled
Karma had her surgery today, and is now minus one toe on her front left foot. Poor, poor pet. The surgery went well, and she should recover just fine. So now, we have six weeks of recovery ahead of us, and then hopefully, she’ll be back in the game. We’re greatly looking forward to being [...]

At one point or another, pretty much every pet around here has been stuck in a cone for one reason or another. Teak had nose surgery to open her little nares – a common procedure for pugs so that they can, you know, breathe better. She still somehow managed to flip Dyson’s ear over the [...]

37 weeks today, officially full term. Baby is settled in nicely and not coming out for the foreseeable future. *Sigh* So, now, we wait. It’s a bit unsettling to be fully on someone else’s schedule. Someone you can’t call and say “Hey, could you make it the 25th? Cause I’ve got the day free.”
On a [...]

Karma is having to wear a cone on her head, details to follow later, but the amazing thing is that is simply amplifies her already horrific breath. And she is sad about the cone, so wants to cuddle and be close – with the steamy, yucky, smelly dog breath. Fun….

So I’m standing by my bed last night, trying to decide whether or not I want to bother with clean sheets. They are getting pretty funky, but I’m planning on cleaning the bedroom today and tossing a lot of dust around so maybe I can wait one more night and then have a totally fresh [...]

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 [...]

My best friend has been my best friend since high school. Oddly, she does not, and never has, owned dogs. Even still, we bonded early on over cup-o-noodles from the biology room, and as she struggled to understand my fascination and relationships with all four legged creatures, I worked hard to understand her fascination [...]

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 [...]

One of the things they tell you to look for when hiring a professional trainer is what titles that trainer has achieved with his or her own dogs. I don’t have many – Redwood, Rowan, and Jester got their CGC’s, which is a pretty basic, easy title to get. Never got around to it with [...]

So this morning I finally finished walking everyone, cleaning the bird cages and cat boxes, feeding the beasts, and all the other general care that gets done every morning and I sit down to eat my breakfast. Kid you not, before I even get the first bite in my mouth, Karma starts sputtering and chop [...]
