I had a horrible experience today. Obedience lessons with Chase were awesome this morning and my trainer came up with some great things we are going to do with his heeling, his stand for exam (he gets too wiggly he loves people so much), an his go outs.
I also got my nails done, sparkled [...]

Okay I went to have Angel’s and Tatum’s toenails trimmed by our Thunder Paws Flyball Captain, and of course she sent me home with a practice flyball box.
It’s sitting in my front room and I haven’t, of course, used it yet. I want to really find out what I’m doing with [...]

I do know that border collies are not collies, LOL who would know better? It’s amazing how many people get the names mixed up. And I think, in England, a border collie is called a collie, because when I search around I see a ton of border collies referred to as collies.
Anyway that’s neither [...]

Well we are back up and running good again. No error messages. There was a plugin that was not compatible with Wordpress 2.3.1. And I didn’t update my permalinks structure, that was causing the comments to not work. All is better now!
Tomorrow is a big day. At noon I’m practicing agility, then [...]

Okay maybe they are not too minor. I just upgraded to Wordpress 2.3.1 yesterday and it appears some of the links are not working, comments for one. I hope i can save this post!
I will get right on it and fix it up by the end of the day. Thanks!
EDIT: We are fixed now! [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we refer to our companion animals. It has become main-stream to refer to our dogs as our kids. Or our pets. And we call ourselves their Mom and Dad.
It is true that we care for our animals like we would human children, and we love them [...]

Well Tatum went to puppy class last night. She is so good with the puppies. She might be coming along to the point where she may know too much for puppy class but for now she is still a puppy mentally, if not physically.
Anyway, I worked on the things my obedience instructor told me on [...]

Okay I don’t mean, is your dog green, like he’s a leprechaun or something. I mean green as in environmentally friendly.
I recycle when I can, I try to turn off the lights and the heat down (my husband and I are always arguing about the heat, too hot for me, too cold for [...]

Well I’m a bit late on the bandwagon but I do love the Responsible Pet Blogger idea from Fuzzy Logic!
So we are putting up our badge, here, and on the sidebar.

Because being responsible with animals of all kinds is extremely critical nowadays. Animals are not disposable temporary pieces of furniture that you can throw away [...]

Okay so I had a private lesson with my obedience instructor last night, for Tatum. I am so happy to say that Tatum is really coming along well. She was hardly frightened at all. She checked out the training room… she has to, because she has had so few experiences in her life [...]
