    Snowy Days

    It's been a while since I've done a picture thread in here. I had a snow day yesterday so I took advantage. We recently moved and I can't find my camera charger, so none of Iggy this time around, unfortunately, as it died during Harlow's turn out. Enjoy! First, one of Rider that I really...

    What does your family think of your dogs?

    Just like the title says. My FIL offended me pretty bad yesterday. We were on the subject of dogs and non-dog people accepting advice that they ask for and DH said something along the lines of "Yeah, people always want to know how our dogs are so well behaved". FIL basically told us he...

    Ss 2015!!

    Our SS package came last night. We are in the midst of moving so sorry for the mess and the cell phone pictures. We looooved everything! The dogs had so much fun with the toys and the treats were a huge hit. Thank you so, so much! I have suspicions of who my Santa was, but I won't say...

    Patton & Tulsa (Photodump)

    Danielle and I took our afternoon yesterday and celebrated the beautiful weather at my family's lake. Patton and Tulsa had a blast (minus one point in the trip where Tulsa apparently got seaweed stuck in her throat and was hacking for about 20 minutes and chomping down grass.. which is why she...

    Tan Lines

    So, I'm standing up as maid of honor in my friend's wedding in about three weeks. I have pretty dark skin and in the summer I darken up a lot. Well, working at a barn this summer, I've got a pretty wicked farmer's tan. I had originally planned on doing a spray tan to even things out. Well, I...

    Tiny red tricks and others

    Had some cool lighting and extra time tonight, so I attempted to capture some tricks! However, everyone but Tulsa thought it was a lame idea. A week ago we went and partied in the pool, so I have one or two from that shindig as well. :) A little of everyone! Chin! DSC_1480 by Meagan...

    Kentucky 2015 Trip

    My friend and I took a trip to KY over the weekend. We went to Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky Horse Park, Keenland Race Track, and several horse farm tours. It was pretty awesome. It was great to spend some time in the mountains again. So I figured I'd share some photos I took while...

    Teaching/Learning/Lesson Dogs?

    I can't decide what I want the title to be. Basically, did you/do you have a dog or dogs that you are insanely grateful for in the sense that they taught you valuable lessons that helped with your next dog? I totally do, Rider mainly. I got Rider with the intent of having him kind of wade me...

    Have you been turned down by rescues?

    The guilt thread got me wondering about how many people have gone through the whole process personally and have been declined due to vaccinations, intact dogs, ect. I personally had a super easy time dealing with rescue and apparently didn't realize this was out of the norm. DH and I lived...

    Back on Track

    I'm sure there have been threads regarding this before-- but I'm lazy. Tell me about Back on Track items. Do you think they work? Do you use them frequently? See a difference? I'm really throwing around the idea of getting the coat for Tulsa now that we are starting to get back into...

    Flooring that is awsome for dog homes

    DH and I are starting to talk about removing the carpet in the house and putting different floors in that are a bit more dog durable. I like the idea of something easy to clean, but not too slippery nor insanely hard on joints since our place is small and they like to be on the furniture...

    Does your dog swim?

    Just as it says! It is now summer and never in the past have I had swimming dogs. IT IS SUPER FUN! Tulsa I had to encourage with treats and a lifejacket. She is now off both of those and going in like a pro. Iggy lives to be in the water. Harlow would like to swim, she's an avid wader...

    Best Girl

    We had no love over the big cluster show, but Tulsa showed and acted phenomenally. I can't believe how mature she is getting. I think once she matures a bit more physically and starts to bulk up a bit, we will do fairly well and hopefully will finish her Ch. But here is one photo (credit...

    Lake Fun!

    I now have two swimming dogs! WOOT! Took the entire crew down to the family farm for some exercise today. :) I've been doing some swimming with Tulsa for low impact shoulder strengthening. She's has been doing 150% better. Tomorrow is another appointment, and hopefully we will be cleared for...

    Favorite dryer?

    So I'm seriously thinking about getting a super high velocity dryer because the shedding in my house is OUT OF CONTROL. Any favorites? I really don't want a cheap-o that isn't going to do a great job. I've got a lot of undercoat to take care of. The orange one that people tend to recommend...

    What is your timeline like for nextdog?

    I'm loving all of the activity on Chaz lately!! I've been thinking about this for a while now, and for me it certainly depends a lot on what our current dogs can make happen. I'm all set on cow dogs for a good bit (definitely until I'm done with school!) and probably wouldn't add another...

    MOAR THREADS. Breeder what would you do situation.

    As I get more involved in the ACD breed, I'm of course beginning to learn a lot more about what certain breeders are producing as well as structure and what I'd like to see in my next cattle dog (years and YEARS down the line). There is a working breeder I've really liked for a long time...

    Do you like to keep a specific "type" of dog?

    So I know we've had threads similar to this in the past, but I figured it was time for a new one! Since obtaining Iggy, I've noticed that DH and I gravitate towards a very similar general type of dog. We like harder personality, high energy, not overly dog or people friendly, loyal/velcro to...

    Bored.

    I'm bored as heck at work today, so I'd like some input on a raffle basket I'm putting together. There is an annual regional specialty for the ACDs at the big cluster show we attend in the spring. They are doing a raffle this year to help raise money for next year. I'm putting together a...
