Agility...11/10/2013 updated Nov 16
Had everyone holding their breath for this one, as Corey and I had a good run and then Corey ran right past the finish jump. For a fraction of a second, I thought we were done, then I realized he could go over the jump in either direction, that it was just a jump to stop the clock. Fortunately I remembered...

Sunny Sunday Chat 11-17
It's 88 F here! I feel so bad for those running the Rock n Roll marathon here today. They probably didn't think it would be this warm in mid November. I'm taking advantage of the nice weather and giving the dogs a bath outside. They are willing to tolerate the bath because they all love...

Tues 11-12-13 chat
The ground is covered in white. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Kind of a pretty morning :) The dogs are content today for the first time in a while. We spent the weekend in the tree house at my friends cabin. They got to run, play, chase 4 wheelers and swim with their bloodhound buddy...

So I'm not so good about keeping up these days...
So here I am making another reappearance after a few months of disappearing, and I return to a brand new format. Not only that, but I also discovered that I had messages from like 2012, 2010, and 2008 that I never responded to. Um, oops! lol

Advice! Should I let my ex see our dying dog?
Hi. This is likely going to be long and I thank you in advance for your opinions and thoughts, as my head is spinning right now. Back story - My ex and I were together 8 years and broke up in June. We were great friends for 4 years before dating, so a 12 year investment. We got a dog 5 years ago -...

Sunny Sunday Chat (11/10)
Looks like another slow weekend on the forum. Hope everyone is out and about having fun or just relaxing and enjoying the time off. I took Shane to a holiday photo fundraiser yesterday. I'd been asked to help out but there wasn't much to do nor much I could do with Shane with me. It was really...

Help - Is she dying?
I have just noticed that Maggie is drinking a lot of water, much more than she used to drink. And her urine seems much darker than it used to be. My question is, is this a serious sign? I have a feeling it is liver or kidney failure. If it is, is it causing her pain? Is liver/kidney failure treatable...

The cool weather is here! We'll warm up to the 60's with lots of sunshine. :) I think it was 55 this morning and naturally everyone here considers this cold. The dogs love it. DH had to work late yesterday or so he claimed. So I went to the training class by myself. I think this trainer is...

The forum was all wonky over the weekend. Seems to be back to the new normal. Nothing much new going on here. I saw a very beautiful rainbow this morning on the way to work. It was in the West and was backlit by the orange of the rising sun reflected off the clouds. Really unusual looking. Gabby...

It's Tuesday, Right? 11/5/13 Chat (Deb W.)
I'm a little confused since I was in training last Thursday and Friday and I took yesterday off to take my hot, itchy mess of a dog to the Vet. At my seminar, I learned how to be a LEADER and not just a mere manager. I also learned how to be a VISIONARY and to not get caught up in putting out fires...
