    is the no texting and driving law effective?

    I still see alot of people that are still texting and driving even if it is now banned. Nothing is more nerve racking when you see an on coming traffic who is somewhat over the center line, tires nearly touching your side of the lane. I'm having to drive far right to avoid this idiot. i...

    "throwing away" pets

    Getting ridding of a pet because they are a burden and not wanting to deal with taking them to the vet when some health things creep up, especially for an older dog ( or cat).

    "throwing away" pets

    Why do people throw pets away and then say they miss them? i really never understand that. Someone who would throw dogs ( or cats) away like they are trash is being a hypocrite when they say they "miss" them. Had to get that off of my chest.

    Doggy pools

    The shelties could care less about the pool, they can't be bothered being wet LoL, they even prance around puddles on the ground. Josie uses the kiddie pool religiously though! here's a pic from last year, this thread reminds me i need to drag it out soon!

    Preventing Digging

    I like the sand box idea. Are they stimulated enough? sometimes it's a bored dog. I corrected Josie early on when she wanted to dig and showed her where she's allowed to dig. Sometimes dog dig to get to a cooler spot if it's warm out which is why they also lay in the mud during the summer :yikes:

    While everyone else is getting drunk on st patty's day, me and the Josie decide to go down to the river for some swim time. She apparently loses her stick which you can see is right in front of her partially covered with the sand, but decides to dig a hole through China :lol-sign: Goofy beast...

    breaking bad habits.

    I guess you can now say the "honeymoon" phase is over with Chloe. The time she lived with my MIL she was treated like a pampered little thing that barely got any exercise. Well Chloe finally showed some bad habits that i do not even allow my other two dogs do. She is now whining and crying...

    My water dog

    The other day it was gorgeous out and ended up going for a 5 mile walk. There is nothing out here when you live out in the middle of no where. But it's amazing what you can find on your 5 mile walk :). We found a RIVER and i've lived here for about 6 years and that is the first time i noticed it...

    Very bad news

    I'm sorry to read about Mia, not fair for a very active dog like her, hopefully you'll find a way to keep her active without her going stir crazy.

    How much have you spent on training?

    $70 here, for puppy class and basic obedience. Then i train on my own after that. I've shopped around too but after not agreeing some of the training methods i did/do it on my own. I can be picky LoL.

    Do you let your dog(s) off leash....

    yes.....i don't always follow the "rules". My dogs are reliable with their recalls. We go to parks and if there is nobody around i let them loose and we'll play some fetch and some training sessions. I also let them loose in baseball fields but make sure i pick up after them. Most of the...

    LoL i live way up north ( MN) i've actually seen several women give funny looks when a guy calls someone ma'am. I get the point though, just weird to hear it out of the blue and i was thinking " is he calling me old?!" :yikes:

    When are you planning on adding another dog?

    3 dogs is my limit. Chloe is 11, Josie is 3 and Casey is 7. After all three of them passes i am taking a break before i add in another dog. Life with dogs can be tricky sometimes when you want to travel and not having to worry about the dogs when they are boarded or trusting the person who is...

    do you find being called Ma'am annoying?

    I don't know why but every now and then when someone is trying to get my attention or after purchasing a product somewhere a man always calls me ma'am, some women do it to. I know it's being a polite, but i get annoyed. I usually just let it roll off my back and just give a slight nod and go on...

    Is Schutzhund for me?

    Just because you have a German Shepherd does not mean you HAVE to do shutzhund. You need to do something that you BOTH will enjoy. Seems like agility is more your style i'd stick with that ;) maybe some herding too, there are other lists of things she can do, shutzhund isn't the only thing out...
