Update on Maze
Well Maze has been eating just raw diet for about a week now. And I must say, I am impressed. Her coat is soft and shiny, her chewing is down 100%. But she still stinks. Lol. We got over her little issue of being a dainty priss. Lol. She's chewing bones with no issues. I did the deal with the vet...

Pumpkin
I haven't carved my pumpkin yet, it's still good and I want to roast the seeds - that's mainly why I get it each year. My question is.... I home cook for the dogs and wonder if I can use the fresh pumpkin in my cooking. I would clean it out real good then slice it in large pieces and remove...

Another TOP young trainer!
16 year old Andrea Hashimoto took third place at Nationals with a dog she has raised and trained from puppyhood. She also took High Protection. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her obedience routine! Even among top world level competitors I'm not easily impressed because I do not like heeling that is too "crabby"...

One quirk after another...
So Maze made it quite clear that she was done with veggies, and wanted the diet Sandy's on which is great. That's what I wanted in the beginning.. HOWEVER! Some of you may remember that Maze has an "issue" about eating full bones.. IE: SHE WON'T! She will not chew a full bone to...

Practice jumps?
I'm looking for a portable set of practice jumps, for Bean. I would like the height to be adjustable (because she is not my only dog, and does compete in two separate sports, with separate jump heights), and lightweight. 4-5 feet is fine, for her, but because she is SO literal, and has been iffy...
