Noisy Dog
Some of you may recall that Zeke can be awfully noisy. Not all the time, but when something sets him off, boy can he be obnoxious, and shrill, besides. I have come to accept, to a degree, at least, his barking at cats (and squirrels and deer). We are working on toning it down, but I think that is too...

Wednesday chat
Oh what a relief it is! I finally feel relieved of this whole thing with Bugsy. I will hear from the surgeon after he sees him this morning and then have a 45 minute consult when I pick him up. This room is really doing my head in so I need to get out of here stat! I went down to the mini breakfast...

Beautiful Sunday Chat (being optimistic)
It's 1:45 a.m. -- I'm being optimistic! Still got blankets in the dryer. Jackie -- Like NY Maureen I am not now (and never have been) a morning person -- well, morning as in up til the wee hours, but not "up" at dawn. *shudder* Electric lights were the single biggest invention ever...

A little help please
with spring and summer activities for dogs. I can think of swimming, boating, hiking, agility, maybe dock diving. What else? And for those of you who are active with your dogs in the warmer months, how about some details? Julie? I would love to have a rundown (basic version) of S&R. I'm doing...

Not exactly tip-toeing through the tulips, but still cute! (tacran...
For those of you still dealing with snow and frozen ground, this might cheer you a bit. The annual tulip festival will soon be starting at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm just north of us. It's spectacular -- tulips as far as you can see. They posted this photo on their Facebook page the other day (it's...

Tickle me Tuesday
I arrived safely at my friend's house. No thanks to the Allegheny mountains or whatever ones I have to climb up and down for the last 20 miles to Mercersburg. It was pretty to see the valley near Mcconnellsburg covered in snow. I kept thinking how much it looks like a Christmas village vignette you...

Been a while since I posted pics of Gracie. Here she is at AKC Rally...

Today was the day we competed at Nationals, and she took Second Place with a cumulative score of 391 out of 400. The top winning dog had perfect score of 400 - amazing...

Monday moaning
Sleep was a bit elusive last night. I put chicken breasts in the crock pot last night and the house smelled overwhelmingly like chicken and I pretty much wanted to puke all night. It was too much. I hope my coworkers appreciate my lack of sleep last night over this. We are having an "eat your greens"...
