To start off with I need to mention that I've been a rather lazy trainer in the last year or two. I have not considered getting Duke into sports for awhile, I've been too busy with work and other schedules. However with a job change imminent I'll have more time, so I have been considering...

I've been a bad forum poster. I've reverted back to almost %100 lurker. Life has been busy but life is always awesome for the pooches. Duke is a bit over four and Boomer will be 5 really soon. It's got me really anxious to add another pup soon but I just don't have any time whatsoever. Anyway...

I just got transferred to a Native Reserve restoration job. They got hit really badly with the floods and we're re-doing their basements. So far, I like this job. There is dogs EVERYWHERE you guys! Some of them are healthy, some aren't. Me and my co worker are kind of a meals on wheels deal and...

Been awhile since I posted any photos. Please ignore the fat conditions of the black seal Boomer. He got diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia and hasn't had the exercise he usually gets. As a result, as an already chubby dog, he got fatter. (my friend doesn't realize he needs to cut his food...

Hey everyone. The idea of adding a second dog this year is still swimming around in my brain, I can't seem to drop it. With the idea of moving to a different city next year for school, Duke will lose his BFF Boomer. The only thing that is causing me to pause is that Duke is a bit of a...

Hey everyone. Not sure if you guys have heard on your news or not, but alberta is facing some major major floods. A city in the kananaskis mountains, canmore, is completely flooded out. Million dollar homes are being swept away, bit by bit, by a raging river. Cougar creek before was just...

Alrighty. Just wanted to get something that I've been ruminating about out there and get some advice. I'll be going to school coming this fall, and I'll be setting up for the long haul whereas school is concerned. This school year will be considerably easier than any other year. Since my...

Duke and I went to the lake this weekend. Even though the dogs tried their best to look thoroughly unhappy in all the pictures, they had a blast. Even though the water was pretty cold, we went boating (and tubing) anyways. I totally wiped out on the tube and it was quite a shock to go for a dip...

I need some advice because I feel like I'm going to be neglecting my dog, but I might be being silly. So I'm switching to night shift, this week. Schedule change is hard for anyone, even without the responsibility of pets. (or children, but I'm 21 and don't have any of those yet!) So my...

Hopefully I'll be able to explain what exactly the issue is. His behavior is highly variable some days. When Duke was younger he was a typical lab puppy. He wanted to play with every dog he saw and wasn't really polite about it. He was hyper active and rambunctious. He grew up in a dog...

I know this likely belongs in the dog health section/food section but gosh dang I'm out of answers. I need a big response. Duke has been suffering with general itchiness for awhile. Redness, 'doggy' smell, minor hair loss as well. I thought I had it under wraps and I had cycled him through a...

Anyone have a large collection of house plants? I'm just starting out, I have 10 plants, 1 silk plant. Because pictures give a thread substance: (excuse my walls/dusty room. I'm still working on skimming out and touching up the walls before I paint the whole house.) Pictured here is two...

Just thought I'd share what I saw on Kijiji today, ... it really made me do a wth??? really. http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-pets-dogs-puppies-for-sale-UNIQUE-CHOW-JACK-RUSSELL-CROSS-W0QQAdIdZ408142880 but omg so cute. imho. So this thread actually has a topic... what's the strangest...

Strange situation this weekend. My dog is out spending his weekend at a lake with his lover, Boomer, while I have McGruff here. He's enjoying having me to himself. I find it just plain weird to go to the park without my Dukers. That's it! :D Also...

Well, his birthday was actually on the 5th. However I didn't get a chance to snap a few pictures then, so these will do. We celebrated on the 5th with a turkey neck and a trip to the river. :) When I first brought him home at 7 months: and now, at 2yrs old: Can't leave Boomer...

So I was pretty sure another dog wasn't going to happen until next year because I was pretty set on getting a lab *puppy*. A female. I have a busy work schedule and I have no time for a puppy, but for my adult dog it works fine. However this seems to be a recurring theme for me in that I...

Which means the dogs can go swimming now! Hurray!! Cheap exercise that they love. During the winter I swim them in a "dog pool" for 25 bucks a pop - which sucks. sohurrayfreeswimming!! They had a really good walk today. They haven't been to this particular park in a long time - Duke ended up...

Well, he actually turned 2 last Monday. Whoops! Boomer is one of the sweetest dogs I know. He is one of the biggest, suckiest baby dogs I know (Even more so than Duke :yikes:). He's attached to me 24/7, very protective, Duke's BFF, extremely handsome, and just an all around good dog. Love...

So, how many of you are into it? For those who are unaware of what geocaching is, check out this website: www.geocaching.com It's pretty much an adult scavenger hunt using a GPS. It's hiking with a fun goal. The common cache usually comes in small tupperware containers but can be as big...

Hello everyone! I watched my favourite yellow lab this weekend while his people went snowboarding. So, obligatory pictures... Snaggle-tooth abound I have a picnic table in my backyard and all the dogs are obsessed with it. They stand on it, lie on it. McGruff puts his toys on...
