    Popper and Agility Pics

    I needed some agility pics for a project I'm working on (more details to follow... eventually hehehe) so I got my dad to take a few. They aren't "awesome" as he's never done dog pics, let alone agility, but I still think they're cute (I'm biased). I also threw in a few I took because, well, it's...

    Roofus's Pad Problem

    Every year, roofus gets this foot pad problem... I haven't found a cause, and since we've got so many people on here who have experienced nearly everything collectively, I thought I'd give it a shot. It always starts being a problem about this time of year. What it is, is his pads get REALLY...

    Here's what happens...

    when you cross a Border Collie with a Dalmatian. In the middle of your walk, you are suddenly thrown backward as dog starts walking in super slow motion as she scrunches down into "the crouch," fixating the BC stare off into the distance and the tension just building and building and she...

    Why even have dogs? (rant)

    my next door neighbor has three miniature schnauzers. She started out with one, in the past year acquired two more. She had one dog a while ago that was put to sleep because "she was getting old and barked a lot." What's weird about owning three mini schnauzers? Well, they're outside dogs...

    Popper just broke my blinds :(

    Popper was laying on my bed, as usual, looking out the window. The Dastardly Squirrel (DS) was flicking his tail on the back fence, and Popper took off like a bat outta hell, half baying half screaming as he leapt off my bed to run to the back door. Unfortunately, he must have had a foot inside...

    Weaving Woes

    Well, maybe not. I am a terribly impatient person after all, though I think I'm pretty patient with agility (so far!). So I've been working with Popper using a 6 weave pole set. At first, I was using the luring method to get him to weave. Well, of course, he focused entirely upon the food and...

    Dog Fighting on Bones

    SPOILER ALERT!! Did anyone watch Bones last night? The episode was about a dog fighting ring and a dog who killed a person because his owner told him to. Cesar Milan was a guest star, and it was pretty funny because he would just go SHHH! and all the dogs would lay down and stop barking...

    Gah dogfight!

    well really, more of a one-sided hair ripping. I fed the dogs and Roofus didn't eat (not unusual), so I just left his food out (stupid me), even though I normally stand there while everyone eats. He has a really tall feeder, about 24" off the ground, and the only other dog that can eat out of...

    My Pancake Tortoise

    I took Eggo, my African Pancake Tortoise outside today for a romp in the grass and of course a little snacking... this is the first time I've posted pictures of her (sex is not actually known yet, but she SHOULD be a girl) because all my previous ones are utter crap. :D She is, oh, let's see...

    Front crosses - question

    So tonight we learned front crosses and then practiced them with a tunnel to a dog walk. My question, which I thought of AFTER the fact, of course, is - when doing a front cross, if my dog is in the tunnel, and I get to the end of the tunnel first - do i just cross over immediately, or do I...

    dogs sleeping on each other

    so, i was reading the corvus picture thread... ... and i started wondering WHY dogs sleep on each other. example: Popper climbs onto Roofus and just passes out on him. His entire body is on roo.... normally he only does it in the winter when Roofus has a full coat, so it makes sense to me -...

    Itchy itchy pop pop!

    Popper got a mosquito bite over the weekend (I believe it was Friday) in the middle of his tail, I sprayed it with allercain spray and figured that was that. i love the little dog but i seriously want to strangle him right now. He's gone from oh it's a bit itchy to ripping out his tail hair...

    SO was in a car accident last night...

    he's okay folks :) A bit sore, but so far that's all. I'm a bit concerned because I got rear ended pretty hard once, two days later I was in searing pain and I had to have months of PT.... but anyhow, it's an interesting story... it's long! His truck, which he drives EVERYWHERE and has 200k+...

    even though we've already seen previews for the november release of the next harry potter, warner bros decided to hold onto it until summer 2009 because they think they'll make more money as a summer blockbuster :( i'm very sad now. :( and i don't even particularly like the movies!

    Horrible Car Accident!! *graphic pic*

    hehehehe popper got this toy from his agility class for successfully completing the first session... he only wanted this toy because his buddy harley (beagle/basenji mix) picked out the same one. It sat around my house for three weeks, and yesterday, suffered a massive wreck. I still haven't...

    So how is a wedding without traditional bridesmaids, matron of honor, etc handled? See, my best friends are GUYS. Unfortunately, between my two best friends, my SO is one of them... which leaves the other friend smack in the middle. I asked him if I married my SO if he would be my...

    my dad just called me...

    guess who can jump their 4' chainlink fence? Mr Bently!! pretty good for a "10 year old aussie mix", huh? They took him to the vet last week, vet laughed and said there's no way that dog is ten years old - she said he is 5 or 6. And now that he's pretty recovered from his kennel cough...

    Rescue Dog Update

    Well, Friday morning, as most of you know, I picked up Mr Nameless, a 10 year old Australian Shepherd/Cattle dog mix. I found a notice about him in the rescue dog forum of this section, and he looked like a black & white version of my parents' dog, and I knew I'd be the one that went to save...
