One Eyed Dogs
My maltese had his right eye removed last year due to benign melanoma and secondary glaucoma. He occasionally bumps into things etc on that side, and get a little upset that he didnt see the object and doesnt understand why. Today I was walking him with some other people and dogs, and he got underfoot...

How to talk to my doctor about a dog...
I posted a thread similar to this maybe a year ago, and my life has gone through several ups and downs since that time, but I know you folks are a great resource when it comes to anything canine! So here is my situation. I currently live in a house owned by an apartment complex that does not allow dogs...

Kennel Fire how sad
There was a very bad Boarding Kennel Fire about 1 hour and 45 minutes from me. I had actually met family members who ran it back in the early 1980's. It had passed down thru family to them. We met at a Boarding Kennel Seminar. Sounds like the place was pretty well totaled and several dogs were lost...

02/09/15 start???
It will be spring for a few more hours, then winter comes again. Ran Jr in a couple of WMAs this week. Todays meant a trip to the shower. He is so responsive and biddable while working off leash away from the road. We will see about on-leash in a few hours at class. I dug out the Halti we used with Piper...

New Chat - 2/3/2015
Thought I'd start a new thread to see if it'll appear at the top of the main screen, instead of below the spam/junk threads that I've flagged yet they don't get deleted. Before typing more, I'll post this and see what happens!

New week-old weather 01/13/15
Started Skys' Obedience class last night-just an organizational meeting. Same instructors and room where we started Gunther about a year ago. It hit me hard for a bit. Thought I was past that. Sky has a series of tricks that he runs through for treats. Sit-down-up-stay-wave goodbye. Then he get...

Such a sad, sad waste
I hope this sparks some conversation -- it's just sad. Yesterday the big news in Central Florida was that the authorities captured and killed a bear weighing in at over 700 pounds. Largest bear every **seen** in Florida. Not in a big park or natural area. He was living in suburbia -- in a very...

Continental Kennel Club
Does anyone know about the Continental Kennel Club registry? I've heard people speak very negatively about it and have said that the AKC is the way to go. Does anyone know why this is the case? Should someone not get a puppy because the kennel does Continental instead of AKC registry?

The week without a weekly chat 12-3-14 chat
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I painted my living room and did not do any shopping. Looks like we've all been too busy catching up on work from the 4-day weekend to chat. Doug, nice to see the update about Junior. They grow so fast. I hope your temperatures are back above zero! TTFN
