A friends German shorthair pointer was attacked by a French bulldog at a freaking indoor dog show last weekend, the french bulldog was on a flexi, god damnit people, time and place! Huge empty field whole camping where there is no other dogs, side of the road for a pee break while driving, yes use a flexi! Pet shop, store dog shows, no don't use a flexi.

You always hope that people who have invested the time and money into showing their dogs would at least have some basic understanding of etiquette.

Heading to get Tulsa and the litter mates who are left to get herding instinct tested on some ducks. THE EXCITE.

Also, this puppy is impressive. Crate training is going so great.

For real. Politely disinterested doesn't mean unfriendly. If your definition of friendly is a goofy teenage lab... well, then yeah, my dog's really mean.

So are all of mine

Oh wait no, Cobain is "timid." Most of the time I don't have the heart to tell people he's just a snob and doesn't care for people that aren't on the list.

Haha nothing too interesting. It's just kind of neat that I was able to find her again. She's got two planned litters coming up but not sure about timing. She's still very involved in agility and is now doing more herding with her dogs.

I am lucky I don't have dogs small enough to be picked up. But If I see a grain by person coming or if someone tries to touch my dog I just say "don't touch my ****ing dog!" I have even grabbed people's hands before and they are always shocked especially since because I work with my hands, I have an iron grip. I don't realize it, I just see someone going for my dog and go into "mama bear mode".

I can be mean, mean lady when it comes to protecting and advocating for my dogs

I have had a kid hug Watson out of the blue...and to his credit my little snot was amazing about it and just looked at the child with mild interest. In that case I was nice about it...I explained to the boy that he could not just hug strange dogs. His dad was right there too

Chomper already has waaaaaay too big a voice on him, that he loves to use!

Mini Aussies, almost without fail, have the loudest, shrillest, most ear-piercing bark out all the dogs I have ever met. It's insane.

My mom has 6 Mini Aussies right now, and I have to agree. Three of them aren't bad. In fact, rarely bark. And when they do, it's not too obnoxious. But the others, oh my god. Shoot me.

Bruschnazzy · May 30, 2014

Oh yes, I am experiencing it like that! For the most part it's because he's yelling at the other dogs to play with him, which they want no part of - so he gets upset and thinks yelling in their face helps.

Somebody finally got a new pool today

No more rolling in the muddy "river" anymore, ya hear me, Roxer? You can roll in nice, clean water now.

Em is seriously the best dog. ER? No problemo.

SpaceMutt · May 31, 2014

I want to try out barn hunt, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I registered the walrus-pup so we've got that covered, but I'm not sure whether to do a clinic that's happening in July, a fun test, or just go for it and try out the instinct test at a trial? He loves jumping on and burrowing under things, chasing critters, and nosework, so I'm hoping that he'll enjoy this addition to our little sport lineup

Laurelin · May 31, 2014

Had a fantastic morning out with the nosework group and then to a pet store. The best part was that Mia got to work too and she did GREAT. I am so thankful for any time I get to work her these days. I am hopeful we have a lot more to come. She's had a great week.

Paris loves to swim! First dog I've ever owned that actually likes the water!
