The barking thread got me thinking about how I play with Suki. She will fetch a little and likes to play tug sometimes. She loves walks. But I don't know a lot of "games" to play with her. The only one we really play is hide and go seek. I tell her to sit and wait. And then I go off and...

I am so proud of myself for trimming Suki's ears myself yesterday!! They look great! (Not really great, but much better than before.). But now that her head looks good to me, her neck and chest look HUGE! I wasn't planning on tackling that part myself, but I will give it a try. I went online...

In case you hadn't heard yet. http://www.naturapet.com/voluntary_recall/Natura%20Press%20Release%20April%2019.pdf April 19, 2013, Natura has expanded their recall to include all of the dry dog and cat foods with expiry dates prior to March 24, 2014. I read about this on FB and called our pet...

Our old trainer posted this video link. I thought it was helpful and thought some others here might find it useful. I'm going to show it to my kids also, so they can start learning to speak dog. let's see if this link works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bstvG_SUzMo#

Finally I've gotten the photos off my camera. Suki loves her secret santa gifts, and was a little miffed that the kids had such a good time playing with them when we first opened tha package. She patiently posed for many, many pictures (most of which turned out blurry!) My kids have always...

We let suki open her secret Santa package and she loves all of her wonderful gifts!!! I took pictures, but I ran out of time to upload and post them. So I'm very sorry about the delay! To make matters worse, I don't know who they are from!!! There was no note inside the box, but now that I...

Thanks to all the recommendations for our first NJ beach trip, we had a really fun day. I've finally unpacked the card reader to upload my photos. I take so many bad pictures, you'd think I'd give away my camera. But here are the few that I'm not too embarrassed to share. I'm pretty...

So we finally made it to New Jersey! We've been here three weeks and I don't know why people think no one is friendly on the east coast. Honestly, I think it's Suki who is making the friends! lol. When we drove out, our car had temporary tags because we hadn't been able to get our CO...

We have decided to definitely move from Colorado to New Jersey. It was still up in the air as of last week, and I'm pretty sure we are leaving next week (I am apparently a spur of the moment kind of girl ... or else I'm just crazy ... I'm leaning towards crazy, or I will be crazy soon from the...

What do you guys put inside your crates for bedding? We had nice thick bed, but the bed is 6 inches thick (even after she slept on it for a while) and that takes away from the height of the crate. So I bought something thin, and it moves around a lot. The plastic crate liner does not seem...

So it looks like we are very likely moving to New Jersey this summer for my husband's job. I have never been to New Jersey and until recently my opinion of the state has been based on stereotypes. (I know stereotypes aren't true and beauty is found everywhere.) I grew up in Ohio and have...

To all the momma's of skin kids and fur kids ... and to all those who have mothers ... Happy Mother's Day!

Suki passed her level II obedience test today! She did so great, and I am very proud of her! She scored perfectly on everything except greetings. (She is a firm believer that everyone was put on Earth to visit her and she wants to show them her appreciation by being very excited to see...

My son finally decided he'd like a photo contest of "dogs in costumes." Well, I thought that would be a little difficult because I don't have any pictures of dogs in costumes, so we widened it to dogs or other creatures in costumes. Here are some examples. They are two of my favorite from...

So yesterday my little boy said someone bled on the floor. Oh that must be a drip of ice cream or something (who was walking around with ice cream??). I did check Suki's bottom with a tissue and it came back clean. I tried looking at the area to see if it looks swollen, but who the heck can...

We have crazy springlike weather and actually ate dinner outside last night. The kids and Suki were being so cute I grabbed my camera. I love this photo! You might think it should go in the How Much You Love Your Dog thread because Suki is better brushed than my daughter. But my daughter...

Suki and the kids and I had a great time opening our package!! I was having trouble with the camera, so my pictures aren't great, but I still wanted to share them! Thank you Boundless Newfs for the lovely surprises! We love all of them. I'm pretty sure the chocolates won't make it past...

So Dooby's lost dog thread has me worried and thinking. I've been meaning to get Suki microchipped. How does it work? Are there different companies to chose from? Can all microchip readers read all chips? I don't want to end up choosing the microchip than no one can read! I asked the vet...

I did think of this on my own, but I see someone else thought of it before me (at least once for photo challenge #6 ... but #6 has to have been a long while ago, right?) So "out of place" ... use your imagination!!! I'll chose a winner on Friday evening!! Here are some of examples of what...

This is such a stupid question, but ... We're on to our 3rd snow this season, and I've noticed that little snow balls get stuck in Suki's fur when we go out. When we come back inside, I can't get the snow balls out of her fur. It doesn't help that Suki thinks it's game time & she tries to eat...
