I was going thru my doggie paperwork and came across the printed out thread from when we did it. Breaking him out of prison, crossing country borders, meeting new friends.....whatta trip...

    I'm just surrounded by "DIM" ....

    Long story short .... A buddy comes over to help me break in an engine on my start up stand. It gets late, he grabs the couch for the night. No biggie. 3 AM ... "Case - I think there's a car stuck in the driveway". Now I live 1/4 mile off of the road, so there are cars that come down my...

    Sheila's Riley ....

    Riley pulled 175# in 7 seconds in Traverse City, MI at the WinterWowFest. I told her earlier this morning that I would put my Juno up in a drag race with Riley, but I'm beginning to think that we may have to do some more draft training ....... :kgo_017: Go Riley !!! :beer:

    "DIM" or smart ?????

    You've seen previous posts about my Juno. She tries my patience every day on the calendar. I HAVE TO keep her working. :tequila: Coda, on the other hand is just happy that the sun comes up in the morning. She is my rescue to beat-the-band. Juno knows that when I wake up, it is breakfast...

    why Why WHY ....

    ..... does Juno want to go into LIMP MODE when I put her draft harness on. :tequila: Today, I was going to work with her with the sled in the snow. I start with an empty sled and slowly add weight to the sled. We have basic commands for our draft "procedures". "Harness" means that she...

    My two are in for a rude awakening ......

    I like to socialize my hounds as much as possible. They get along with everything (unless it's a Pitbull or a Coyote). I've got a friend coming over for me to do work on her truck and she's bringing her CAT ! Her cat, OhMyAh ..., yep, that's her name, is a scrappy farm cat. I've already been...

    The "GET THE H*LL OUT OF THE MUD" command ....

    Apparently, does NOT work at the Casey homestead !!:tequila: It's darn near 60* in Michigan today, pushing freakin' February. I come out of the barn to this. I yell "GET THE H*LL OUT OF THE MUD", and Juno, who rode the "short bus" from Newfoundland, proceeded to SIT !!! :icon_stupid: I guess...

    Thinking of adding a 3rd Newf

    So here's my conundrum...... Coda is my alpha and matriarch. She is a Newf mix, and going on 14 or so years old. As I have told before, she was rescued with some Samoyeds that were rescued in 2000. Juno will be 6 in a couple of weeks. Juno has JUST starting showing some smarts, and not just...

    I've had an epiphany .......

    My Coda is a rescue. Unspeakable things were done to her in the "name of research". My folks are involved in Samoyed rescue, and I got Coda because the Sammy rescue team found her in Indiana when they did an "inspection" of a possible Samoyed breeding ring. They grabbed Coda and knew that I...

    Weight loss feeding raw

    I feel like one of those old women that you see on the news that have 50 cats. :nono: Both Juno and Coda have been on a raw diet since about Nov. '10. Yesterday, I took them into the vet for some skin infection issues. They have both lost weight. They eat good, they are active...

    Doggie dynamics .......

    My Coda girl is 12 1/2....Newf/Lab mix. Juno is 5 1/2 Newf. Coda is slowing down these daze. But she still has her passion. Juno out-weighs her by 70 lbs., but Coda could care less. She IS the alpha. Today, they were both velcro'd to me whilst I was burning trash, etc. They like to be...

    FREE: To good home....one Newf mix and one purebred...aka Knucklehead

    :alc::alc::alc: So I've moved out to a farmhouse. 1/4 mile from the road. Land to roam. The dogs LOVE it out here. They are generally well behaved outside. Me: Mowing grass on the tractor. Them: Watching me from Gilligans Island. (That's the turn-around in the driveway that is ALWAYS flooded...

    Does anyone else "shoe" their carpeting ?

    I'm beginning to wonder if I am just a male-bachelor-slob ? :uhoh2: I vacuum my carpets basically every day. Throughout the day/night I find myself scuffing my shoes/boots/slippers across the carpet to make a Newf fur bunny so that I can pick it up and throw it away. Makes it easier on my...

    17 teams into Nome .... NN - The Iditarod

    My mother is a FANATIC about the 'Dit. This years' race was full of surprises, awesome weather, and records to be broken. #1 and #2 broke the trail record for time. When I went to Alaska in '06, I spent time with a musher. It was awesome. I learned a lot about dogs, and the time it takes...

    Do you ever just shake your head ?????

    My parents have always had Samoyeds. They have 2 right now and a King Charles. They do Samoyed rescue and are very involved with the breed. If it's not black Newf hair coming from my house, it's white hair coming from the folks' house. My 69 y/o mother is a PSYCHO right now giving me hourly...

    Casey Meltdown .....

    Coda ripped a toe-nail last night and it is back to the paw. Vet appt. at 1:30 to be dealt with. :tequila: She is stoic as hell, but I don't know if I'm gonna make it to 1:30 without freaking out further. Do they take the entire nail when this happens ??? They were talking possible...
