    Let's Be Controversial

    When I graduated University I was pretty blown away by the number of lesbian women who play hockey. I don't mean that in a bad way, it was just interesting to me that the number suddenly skyrocketed. I have no idea if that's just a consequence of increased age of the population I was dealing...

    Dog beds

    Pretty much all my beds are from Costco. I think I still have one in my truck that is from Canadian Tire. I like cheap dog beds. I'm not interested in spending over $100 for a dog bed. The dogs spend most of their time on the couch or our bed anyway.

    Chaz puppies of 2016

    I fly out in a week! I'll be visiting the puppies next Wednesday to see which one will be mine. Then I'm visiting with family and friends for a few more days before I pack her up and fly home!

    Anyone else have a FitBark?

    It seems to be reasonably accurate in the sense that it's giving your dog points for activity, not calculating calories burned (not sure if that's something that fitbit tracks?). It tracks 3 activity "levels" (rest, active, and play) and within those levels assigns different numbers of...

    Anyone else have a FitBark?

    Just wondering if anyone else on the forum as a FitBark for their dog(s)? Kili has had hers since New Year's and we really enjoy it. It really does show the huge difference in activity level for us between winter and spring, and also what a big difference getting to take her out on my lunch...

    Chaz puppies of 2016

    The adult in the photos is their older, full sister from last year's litter, who apparently absolutely adores the babies.

    Chaz puppies of 2016

    Got a 3 week update from my breeder last night (puppies are actually 4 weeks today but she's a little behind getting e-mails out). They are looking like little puppies now finally. Eyes are open and they're exploring and meeting her other dogs. Unfortunately, there was an incident yesterday...

    "Lifers" in No-Kill shelters.

    I am okay with money pit medical/surgical cases that can be fixed and rehomed, even if that chance is low and it takes a lot of resources. I'm talking abuse cases, hit by cars, etc. Even though there's a good chance the dog doesn't make it, I think they deserve a chance (but I also would not...

    Chaz puppies of 2016

    Okay, huge kink in my plans. My breeder just told me I'm dreaming if I think I can fit a greyhound puppy in the cabin of my flight. I really did not want to have to ship a puppy as luggage. I think it's a really impressionable age for something that scary to be happening to them. I know people...

    Chaz puppies of 2016

    Lucky! My breeder has Facebook and we talk on there all the time. She was actually giving me hourly updates while the puppies were being born so I knew how many and what colours, and she posted an initial photo of the litter with mom in the box, but nothing since. She doesn't post a ton on...

    Chaz puppies of 2016

    I am dying for a puppy update from my breeder. lol. I messaged her a few days after they were born just to see how everyone was doing, and she said mom and all babies were doing really well, and they might be getting a Chinese crested singleton sibling! ha ha. But no new photos or anything, and...

    Naming help for future puppy

    Thanks! I kind of like Nivala, though it's a little long syllable-wise. But still a contender I think. None of my agility friends like Revel. :( They say it's too common and they know lots of dogs named Revel? I looked it up on AAC and there's only one dog currently that I can find with that...

    Chaz puppies of 2016

    I don't see a 2016 puppy thread yet!? Wow, it really IS slow around here! Come on folks, let's hear about those puppies! My potential puppy was born last night! I had just messaged my breeder on Facebook earlier in the day to let her know I got the official "ok" from DBF to get a puppy...

    Naming help for future puppy

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I like Devi, but there's already a dog named Snow Devyl who is called Deevy, so it's kind of close even though Devi is technically pronounced more like "Davy"... and then I can just see that her name will be pronounced wrong by every gate steward. I already...

    Leaving dog with roommates when I leave

    I love when people say that crates are cruel. Assuming the crate is the appropriate size, I don't know what people think is cruel about it. Kili is crated when I'm not home. She has a couple of crate pads/blankets so it's nice and soft and comfy. She has a water dish. And she gets a Kong before...

    Naming help for future puppy

    I like boy names for girls... but only certain boy names... and most of the mountains have male names that really can't be female. Logan and Everest are two of the more unisex ones. But Robson, Elias, Hector, Odin... can't be for a girl, I don't care what anyone says! lol. I'm really starting to...

    How has your Dog changed in the last year?

    Kili has really matured mentally in the past 6 months. She listens much more consistently in agility even at the start of the day when she's wound up. Previously, if she was really fresh she'd be fast but somewhat unfocused (she would tend to not hit her contacts, not listen when I tried to keep...
