Pedigree Canned
I cannot - absolutely CANNOT - believe what I just did !!! I knew I was down to 2 cans of food (enough for 6 days total) but I left too late and our local "natural dog food" store was already closed. She's closed on Sundays and I can't get there during the week so I have to wait until...

Evo went up $10!!!
I went to buy a 28lb bag of Evo red meat last night and it has gone up $10!!! It is not $59.99 vs $49.99 last time I purchased it. That's a huge price change. The white meat (chicken, turkey) formula has stayed the same. I wonder why there was such a change. I asked the person at the counter, but...

Poop, again...
I've been feeding Tootsie, Orijen for about a month now. Everythings fine, except the poop. Or should I say the increase. Size, color, smell and consistency all fine, but.... when she was on EP Holistic Fish it was once a day, now its 3x. Should I blow it off , switch??

Rally T Challenge
An upcoming obedience trial is offering this non regular class. Has anybody done it? Was it fun? I saw the different signs and scoring, but what else was different? They're also doing novice pairs, which we're not going to do (unfortunately---but I don't wanna confuse Ena Bean too much about...

Nikon show brag!
We just got back from an AKC show. This is the 4th show for Nikon (2 UKC, 1 AKC and now this another AKC). At every show there is always this same American line dog that is his age. Sometimes others here or there, but always this other dog has been in his class. Nikon beat him his first show which wasn't...

Went to PetCo last night...
I went to our local PetCo last night for the first time in a LOOOOOONG time. I haven't been there since I started buying dog food at the "premium specialty shops" and have been going to PetSmart for treats and stuff (no good reason other than it's a bit handier to get to). I have...

Before Grain (aDork)
Does anyone here feed this? I bought a sample bag and apparently it's like rocket fuel for Misha. It gives him so much more energy than usual. Has anyone else had this effect with this food?

Macaroons?
I know this will seem stupid to some, but I tried to make coconut macaroons for BF today and I made three batches, and none turned out! They seemed to go very liquidy while baking, and each time i tweaked the recipe just a bit to see if it would work, and they didn't! BF still ate some from the last...

Can I brag, too? (Karissa/Luke)
Luke had an incredible day at our NADAC trial yesterday. Saturday was a slow start due to us not being able to train right now. We only got two Q's out of six, BUT one of them was in Elite Weavers!!! We really struggle for time in that class, but Luke was on fire and came in 0.5 seconds under time...

What an Incredible Weekend (brag)
Belle had a UKC trial this weekend. We don't get too many of these around our area, the last one was in Aug, so this was her 3rd UKC event. My goal was to try to get her UAGII title, you can title UAGI and UAGII in front of the same judge. She had her first taste of UAGII in Aug and we didn't...

I found a farm!
On accident, amazingly enough... there is a farm, right here in town. It's a "sustainable, family farm" that sells produce, beef, and goat. I'm seriously considering purchasing half a steer, for my dogs. I'd buy a goat (smaller investment, smaller space needed), but I don't...

Toning down a dog in the ring?
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question or not. But it deals with conformation. I have a very nice ACD. He has a ton of promise and is out of some very nice dogs. So far we have taken Best of Winners twice and best of breed once. We also got excused once. We have been out...

Conformation class
I'm swallowing my pride and enrolling in conformation. I want Nikon to be "HOT" (handler-owner-trained and handled) so if we go for UKC points that means me in the ring. My friend owns our training club and she's putting this class together for me and another GSD friend. Since we do...

Sandy does agility!
In her OB class we work on flatwork and easy equipment such as beginners weaves, tunnels and table. Well on our way to class last night, Andrea (my trainer whom I get a ride with lol) noticed we had an hour to kill before we were due at the barn. We went to the field to let Sandy run around and burn...
