The Greatest Thing Ever
It’s fitting that this post, the greatest thing ever, was posted from the greatest smartphone operating system ever, Windows Phone 7. Ok, enough fanboyism, because Norko won’t let me hear the end of it. Imagine this, if you will… *may contain horrible reproductions of the Scottish accent (YOU try it in print!) and may also contain some cursin’. A bunch of Scottish sheep herders are sitting around one day, a few too many pints have been consumed, and they’re bored. All the chores are done, …continue reading
A Little More On Dash
Just a little more on puppy Dash! We’re finding more and more as we work with Dash that he’s a super intelligent dog. With every new trick or process we’ve taught him, he picks it up and it becomes routine in just minutes. Sit, down, wait, and touch (nose to hand) were all accomplished in record time. When we’re preparing meals for our dogs, they are told to sit and wait while we get their kibble into bowls. They then don’t eat until we tell them to “take it”. Sometimes, our girls get …continue reading
Finding A Forever Home
If any of you know Stephanie and I, you know that we’re big softies for four legged creatures. We currently have two dogs and three cats of our own, and all of them have been rescues. We’ve also had another dog and three other cats that have spent their lives with us, and they too have been rescues. There’s something about cute little fuzzy friends that are just too much to resist. We’d talked in the past about fostering other dogs on a temporary basis until they could find their forever homes …continue reading
Welcome Back: Vegas: Day 4
What-a-do, everybody? Welcome back to the blog, and Happy New Year to y’all. I hope everyone had an excellent holiday season, and we’re all healthy and happy. I know we’re all a few pounds heavier thanks to all the massive amounts of food! Mmmm… Aunt Elvie’s meatballs!! So, where were we? Oh yeah… Vegas. Day 4 of 5. This was going to be our last full day in Vegas, so we had a lot planned. The weather continues to be awesome. Should have pulled out the shorts while I could! Hmm. Maybe …continue reading
Practice makes perfect…
Or in this case, a lot of practice makes you a bit better. Nah… just some fun video of my puppies (and Stephanie) navigating the agility course. Enjoy! …continue reading
Here We Go Around…
Run, run around, yeah… Ah, good old Van Halen. But that’s not what I’m talking about today. I use the “around” word literally here. For those of you that know our dog, Kira, you know that she likes to run around in circles when she gets excited. You know, like she’s herding something. We long thought Kira had herding instinct in here. When she was younger, she used to circle around Cola in the backyard and lie down in the grass, waiting for her moment to spring forward. Or, she’d …continue reading
Dogs Looking For Help
Wow! Two posts in one day. However, this one is a more serious one…My wife sent me an email from a lady in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada. These two people had a dog sled team, but the people were killed in a car accident, leaving behind 60 dogs. If you can help foster a dog, or know someone that can, please try and help out.Original Message:Please cross post:From: Wendy Bertin Date: November 19, 2006 2:42:45 PM MST (CA) To: mdhowes@… Subject: Cold Creek KennelsHi there, My name is Wendy Bertin …continue reading
