    Tried a new vet today

    We tried a new mobile vet today. After our former mobile vet passed away 2 years ago, we've been struggling to find someone we like. This group recently started covering our area so I gave it a try for Ruby and Carter for annual exams. It went really well. I liked them a lot. They were very...

    Training question

    Ruby is driving me nuts. Ha. She's really bonded with my husband more than me and listens to him without hesitation. I work with her constantly and we are getting better day by day. But one behavior is super annoying and I'd love ideas. She only does this to me, and only when Rob is not...

    Product Review - ID tags

    I thought I would share this.... When we got ruby last year, we ordered an ID tag from Red Dingo. They have a great selection and the tag was very high quality and heavy-duty. It also came quickly. Fast forward to now, the engraving has worn down a bit from rubbing on her other tags, so I...

    Happy Gotcha Day Ruby

    This is a bittersweet day. Ruby joined our family 1 year ago today. That also means that Maggie has been gone just over a year. I still miss her every day. But Ruby-roo is growing in a beautiful girl, and, at 2 1/2 is starting to calm a bit. She's really a good dog. She loves my husband more...

    Intro to draft work

    Ruby needs a job. She loves the agility stuff at our training facility, so we are going to build her a few things to play with in the yard, but I'd like to see if she has an affinity for draft work too. She's not at a point where she could concentrate well enough at a workshop with lots of...

    We got to have a landseer play date today! They would not cooperate for a good picture, but here is what we have. These 2 caused quite a stir on the trails at the park. :lol: Olive in front, Ruby behind Smelling the roses

    Some people should not have dogs

    Someone posted in one of my mom's groups asking for advice. Her son wants a dog so she found one on craigslist. It's a stray some lady found and hasn't even taken to a vet. She's charging $50 for the dog. She wanted to know if that was a reasonable cost. I told her all of the issues with this...

    Thunder shirt

    Does anyone have a thunder shirt we could possibly borrow to see if it is effective before I buy one? I would of course pay the shipping expenses. We are wondering if it would help to calm Ruby and ease her anxiety when we are at training class. Thanks very much.

    Cat Stuff

    My poor kitty Carter is 12 years old. A couple of weeks ago I noticed some discharge from his ear and he was head shaking so I took him in. The canal was totally closed and had a growth in it with puss. Saw the dermatologist today. He has a massive growth of abnormal tissue in the ear. It's...

    While I was busy....

    So I'm busy reading GAD's Don't Buy a Newfie post. And Ruby comes in carrying a very tasty prize. I'd just taken the giblets and neck packet out of a chicken to boil and left them in the sink.:oops: Apparently she got them out of the sink. :devil3: :nono: The package was dragged around the...

    Morning with the house beast

    Ruby happily sleeps in her crate until the sun comes up. Then she gets in the bed. This is how I woke up this morning:

    The barking.....OMG the barking

    I need some new strategies here. Ruby has a big problem with seriously overreacting to everything. People, cars, animals, anything. That is our biggest challenge with her as I can't take her anywhere where there are other people/dogs. She is actually wonderful and very nice and sits when she...

    Ruby's Adventures

    Our crazy House Beast (yes, that's her nickname) has been doing well. She makes improvements every day, but still reminds me that she's a teenager. :bang head: After almost getting kicked out of our first group training class for constant barking, and spending almost the entire class in the...

    Gross

    My husband took Ruby out last night for her last walk. As they came inside he yelled for me to come help him. Apparently she picked up something outside. She was happily munching away and he didn't know what it was. He got her to drop her tasty treat and told me to pick it up before she wanted...
