Hey guys, fleetwood and I are in Kenosha WI this weekend ( heading down through chicago tomorrow), and I've seen a couple of dog trailers and the PetSmart rescue waggin here at our hotel. I was wondering if there's something going on nearby, a dog show perhaps? Plus, does anybody know of any...

Hi all... I haven't been a useful member of this forum in a long time (if ever, lol.) but I swear I have been a faithful lurker! I have a computer to play with now, so I can get a little more involved in the forum scene. Starting with some Pics! Fleetwood is almost 3.5 years old now...

I thought Davey was derpy, but since I've had Adrian, I've learned to appreciate a new level of "Derp". No Joke, it's really hard to get a photo in which she is not "derping." For Example: IMG_0843 by TazwellC, on Flickr IMG_0862 by TazwellC, on Flickr IMG_0881 by TazwellC, on...

Fleetwood and I LOVE playing with discs. He's a great catcher, I'm an ameteur thrower. But down to business. There's a competition next weekend (hosted by disc dogs of Mi) that we are going to, registration is on site, so I was wondering if there is a division we can do. I don't know the first...

Fleetwood was diagnosed with autoimmune disease a while back (mostly affecting his GI tract), and while we have that pretty well under control, his skin has been a problem from about 4 months old. Dry skin, lesions, and more so in the past 6 months non-stop scratching. He goes through phases...

Last week (Monday I think) a local foster parent had their foster dog slip out of her no slip collar and get loose in my city. Her foster parents only had her for a week, and she's practically semi-feral. She doesn't want anything to do with being caught, she keeps a good distance from people...

She's holding two seminars in Chicago in April and I kinda want to go. Both seminars together are going to be a little over $500, not including travel and hotel expenses from Detroit (where I am). The seminars are on her assessment tool (CARAT) and dog-dog interactions. I've not heard a whole...

So, I'd like to start dabbling in a little bit of carting with Fleetwood. Not competition or anything, just around the yard and stuff. I have no idea how to begin, and I seem to find mixed ideas in research. What I have now: a Padded Harness vest with D-rings on the sides...

I registered Fleetwood into two trials at a benched show, but I didn't think it was going to be any different. But after registration, it asked me to fill out a benching request that MUST be filled out. It gives me two options, "Bench with Exhibitor or Agent in breed section", or "Bench with...

I really want footwear for Fleetwood. Badly. He has injured his feet twice on hard terrain, and begins to limp very quickly in the snow because of the buildup between his toes. I really like Muttluks and Ruffwear boots, but even though they are a comfy fit, they are compressing his rear...

Hey guys... I wanted to introduce the newest one in my bunch. She was a foster failure, but I knew her since she was a pup, so... It was just a bit different, ya know? Anyway, Adrian is a "Toy" Aussie. She's almost a year and a half old, and she's only 11-12lbs. I'm sure she's not just a...

Hey guys... Fleetwood messed up his foot over a week ago, and I'm on the fence about taking him in to have it looked at. This happened Thanksgiving, so a week and a half ago. We hiked, biked, and walked, and when we got back to the car, i noticed his foot was bleeding--- a LOT. When I got home...

Call me crazy. But why the heck can't I open a YouTube account with something other than my real name??? I just want to choose a regular user name like its been for eons and eons, but it wants me to open a new Google account using only my real name. No nicknames or aliases. I do NOT want to...

I was reading about the progression of akc Rally titles, and I'm having trouble understanding this one. You have to qualify 10 times at a single trial, But you have to qualify in advanced and excellent, so you would have to do 20 qualifying runs in a single trial?? Does that mean that you...

Fleetwood LOVES Frisbee, and I would LOVE to learn more about disc dog. I can't find any clubs or training facilities around here that teach or compete or anything, and I just don't know where to start. There is a guy about an hour from me that competes, but I would rather not go see him...

I found a stunt double for Finn :D http://petfinder.com/petdetail/23913271

So I've been approved for a 12 week old girl malinois puppy that is up for adoption in my area, I drove three hours up to see her yesterday. She is with a trainer who had her two sisters after they were surrendered by a clueless family... and he's doing awesome groundwork and socialization with...

Hi guys, I'm a little embarrassed to ask this question... I've never entered a dog into a rally trial... But I know that there's one coming up later this month in an adjacent county, and I decided to enter it. It took me a while to figure out how to enter one, and I read that I had to fill...

So Last night Fleetwood went with my friend (Jordan) to play with the dogs that he watches all the time. They were playing fetch with the chuck-it, which they always do- but it can get pretty intense. When Fleetwood came home, he could hardly walk :yikes: Jordan said that Buddy, a 70ish lb...

As some of you are probably aware, Fleetwood has a long history of seemingly related health issues. The vet suspects autoimmune disease. The worst is his GI episodes. He has these seemingly random episodes where (usually in the morning) he gets very Ill, he's in pain, abdomen makes awful noises...
