Natural Diets

Ron's posts regarding a job-site dog got me to thinking. More so, since yesterday I groomed a former job-site stray. It took 2 months for this little gal to come close enough to be caught. She was being fed by some of the guys, and being chased and run off by others. This job was on an indian reservation...

Skijoring

Has anyone ever heard of this before? I haven't until recently. I think it's cool sport for people and their dogs, something to do together. I love to cross country ski and when I go Apollo usually just trots along side (I'm not a trail blazer, lol). Anyone hear ever do it? Here's...

Weave Poles

I've started teaching Sandy the foundations of agility. After watching Maze do the weaves, Sandy started doing them. She's 6 months old and I don't want to push her to far. Can I teach her the basics of the weaves and work on speed later with a young puppy? Also since there's snow on...

Working w/limited $$$..what are the best meats....

for the buck? As you probably know, I do homecooked meats mixed with Preference. Lately I've been doing quite a bet of leg/thigh quarters, with chicken gizzards, hearts, and liver. I do throw in 3-4# beef heart, mixing it into the 20# of chicken I cook every other week, rotating it with the...
