All my bags are packed I'm ready to go- A bathing suit and shorts and all my dough. Taking a jet plane I'm Iowa bound- All this way to meet NN People and their hounds. I heard Troy cooks food that is really fab- And I'll have such a good time I'll have to call a cab. There's people to talk to...

This morning my Mom's spayed female GSD came over and Remi (is 2 and neutered) started sniffing her and then he frantically started humping the air. He couldn't even walk he was so bent over and stressed. I thought he was having a seizure at firt. Please forgive me for being graphic, but I felt...

I am so proud of my wildman. I knew Jeannie had good advice "A tired dog is a good dog" but how to walk him before our 6:30 evaluation when it is 85 degrees outside. We went to Petsmart and walked around and around until he was tired. That is not easy there because everyone wants to visit...

Remi has got his test next Wednesday by the evaluator for Therapy training and he is doing awesome EXCEPT accepting a friendly stranger and accepting petting. He is so friendly that he goes bonkers when we practiced the test last night. I put him in a down, because he was breaking the sit to...

We are going to Hawaii. Yes I know I should be thrilled. Everyone tells me so. You guys are the only ones that will understand me! My daughter plays tennis for the University Of Chapel Hill and they are playing the University of Honolulu. We have been planning this trip since September. My...

Don't know who my SS is but I wanted to thank you. Remi loved his toy especially since it smelled like the dehydrated chicken. Could you please PM me and let me know how you do that? I have never seen him go so crazy over a treat. Remi wants to kiss you he was so happy. Merry Christmas and thank...

This was in a local dog magazine and I thought it was cute. It doesn't list the author's name. With the NN Gift exchange coming up I thought it was needed to get in the spirit. Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow Early Christmas Day Dog bones on my mind I am on my way Daddy calls my name I...

Remi woke up this morning and is limping on his back left leg. He is not panting, but he is whining and laying around not wanting to get up. Yesterday my husband walked him in the morning and he played later in the day with my Mom's dog. We always walk him around the neighborhood in the grass...

I went to Target today and they had an industrial size lint roller on a long pole that said it was good for picking up pet hair. I don't know what made me try it but I am so glad I did. You roll it on any floor surface and even on rugs and it even picks up the dirt that comes in on Remi's coat...

Monday night I went to the registration at the new dog training place (no dogs). We watched a demonstration the trainers did with their dogs. I am in love with rally obedience and I think it's something Remi and I can eventually do. Everyone there was so kind and guess what there first rule is...

Tonight we started another advanced class and it was larger than the last class we had been in. This was a different group and I didn't know any of the dogs or owners, I guess everyone from my old group didn't continue. This boxer/pit mix had some kind of gentle leader or something over his...

Does anyone remember the link to the pool that was on here that the husband built the ramp and had the table weighted down with weights? It was so awesome I want to do that in my yard. I have searched all the different forums but I can't find it. Help I want that pool!!!!
