Dog Training….Unraveled

Why I hate people, revisited

It’s no real secret that I am not a huge fan of people in general. Three (or was it four?) years of working at a big box pet store really made me see how asinine the general public can be on a daily basis, and even before that I was known to prefer the company [...]

READYYYYYYYY!

Some cool pics of our flyball team racing. These dogs are ready to rock!

Sometimes it’s nice

To get to work with a dog and family who are actually invested in each other. I picked up a new client this week, and wow, what a nice dog. Nice people. Just an all around lovely experience. Young male Rhodesian Ridgeback, not a breed I’d generally expect to be sweet, but this dog is [...]

More pups in the clan

Been meaning to welcome the newest additions to my extended family. First up is little Cinnamon Cream, affectionately called C.C. She’s a little chihuahua mix and was rescued by my cousin from the Humane Society. She’s super cute, super sweet, and turning out to be a lovely little friend. Here are some pics of her [...]

More weekend games

After the dogs had a nap from their morning romp in the canyon, we took them to the school to play ball in the afternoon. I love to take pictures of Karma running, all that hair flying, it just looks so cool. Of course, she outran all the other dogs. Over achiever, that one. I [...]

Puppies!!

This weekend we had the privilege of puppy sitting a 12 week old Australian Shepherd puppy. Her name is Bella and she belongs to some friends of ours. She had a blast chasing the big dogs and is already learning how to be a little diva. So much with the talking. The moaning, and groaning, [...]

Left outside

Last night while I had my dogs out front for their before bed visit to the grass, I could hear a dog barking. Not so unusual, but this dog kept up a constant, rhythmic blast of very unhappy and slightly panicked barks. I wouldn’t have thought much of it, except Dyson kept looking up the [...]

Out of the house

I finally got up the nerve to leave the house today – whoppee! – got myself all showered and into my yoga clothes and made my way to a local community center for class. Got my mat, remembered my water, and after only getting a little lost, actually found the place which is conveniently located [...]

Ugly reality

I’m going to introduce you to this blog that I love, mostly because it’s the stuff we all think but are too wimpy to actually say, and I enjoy that she’s so pissed off at the world, but today’s post is truly a sobering smack of reality. It’s long, and winds around a bit, but [...]

Family pics by the fire

This is where we have spent most of our vacation – in front of the fire! Warm and toasty! I would have to say, the best part of winter is having a good excuse to stay in and lounge by the fire, cause it’s too darn cold to go out and do anything else! Once [...]
