Just thought I’d share this incredibly cute picture of baby pugs. The little black one is my mom’s dog, Piper. She will be 3 this spring!

Pug cuteness
View from the couch and some inspired training advice
I have finally succumbed to this year’s version of the crud. I was so proud of myself for managing to go to school amongst hordes of snotty, coughing, phlegm spewing humans, and not getting sick. But, I spoke just a touch too soon. I’ve been decommissioned since Saturday, and I am unendingly grateful for my [...]

Dogs in Motion
May I present – Some Goofy Dogs having a great time playing ball. First up is my beloved Dyson who is just not elegant and this pic made me laugh out loud. This is his new yellow lab friend Lilly – who is staying here at “Camp Kinderpaws” for some obedience training – isn’t she [...]

I don’t mean to be rude…
but if you own a fluffy dog of any sort – please make sure it’s butt is clean. It’s not hard to check. Seriously, how can you have a fluffy white dog in an immaculate home running around with poo chunks just hanging out for everyone to see!??! Baffles me that people either don’t notice [...]

With a heavy heart
I have not posted much this week. I knew that I would have to tell you what was decided about Albert. Deep in my heart, I knew what would have to happen, but I still wanted to try to do something for this little dog. Albert is not an aggressive dog, he is a sweet [...]

The Realities of Rescue
I foster dogs. I foster lots of dogs – labs, pugs, bichons, several creatures of as yet to be determined heritage. For the most part, they are perfectly agreeable dogs who have gotten lost in the system, and through no fault of their own, ended up without humans of their own to tend to them. [...]

The things people tell me…
Every day brings a new bit of joy, I think I’ve seen it all and then……. I had a client who called because her dog poos, yes poos, on her dining room table. Not only on her table, but on HER placemat! I couldn’t help but laugh when she called, although this is obviously a [...]

Some really cool Border Collie videos
Found these today in this website dedicated to Goldens, some pretty cool frisbee Border Collies. This looks like so much fun, I especially love the second video where the dog catches two frisbees from the same throw – just watch it. I see many more frisbees in Karma’s future….

Teaching recalls with hugs
At dog training this weekend a 5 month old pup decided it was much more important to romp around, poo, and act silly that to actually come back to his mommy. His mom called him, went and got him, and carried him back to training. Held him on his back like a baby and made [...]

Mmm, tasty
Darling wieners eating chicken feet! Some dear friends of mine have been discussing feeding their dogs a raw diet, and I just had to share these pictures of some dacshi friends of mine who dine on chicken feet regularly. I think feeding your dog as naturally and holistically as possible is a great and wonderful [...]
