Please send some good vibes for Cadie *update*
Posted to: News & Entertainment
On Sunday my brother, sister, mom and I played basketball at my high school for fun and brought Cadie along (just used the tie-out). At one point I looked over and saw her holding her one paw up, and went over to check it. It was bleeding and looked as if she had cut her nail somehow. We cleaned it up...

Lots of controversy over here over Bill Henson's photography exhibition featuring naked teenagers. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/05/23/2253585.htm There's a pretty huge uproar about it and the exhibition was cancelled before it opened. My partner is a long-time Bill Henson fan and we...

Bear: 1 Squirrel: 0
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I'm not bragging by any means, but Bear killed a squirrel Saturday morning. I didn't see him catch it - I was loading stuff in my truck to take to the recycling center - and I suppose the squirrel could have fallen from the power line that runs over the back yard. I went out into the yard to...

Today's the day for Finnish Lapphund puppies!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
And wouldn't you know it, I've been struck down by an annoying head cold. Nonetheless, today is the day we go and pick up our puppy, who I'm told is considerably larger than he was nearly 3 weeks ago when we last saw him. The original plan was to head out after work this afternoon at around...

Allergy relief wipes for dogs?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
The other day in Petsmart I came across "Allergy relief wipes". My fiance is actually extremely allergic to dogs, they make his eyes and nose burn and sneeze like crazy, and if they touch his face, sometimes he'll get rash like symptoms. He takes his Zyrtec every day, washes his hands after...

Working with a 6 year old Border Collie
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Hi there. I have owned my Border Collie since he was a pup. Unfortunately despite being taken to dog parks and introduced to new dogs at home and at neutral territory, he is aggressive towards other dogs. Around strangers he is very guarded and shy (not terribly unusual for a BC right?). My friend and...

is it resource guarding or protection?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I'm trying to figure out if Zoe's sometimes aggressive behavior is due to resource guarding or trying to protect me and other people. For example, she hates it when people hug and will go after the person who she knows the least or likes less. There is a 3 year old girl next door she is very...
