Information on living with, training, and loving Dogs
It’s been an interesting week. We’ve been fighting hard to bring Finn back from the brink of death and he’s finally out of the woods (more on that in another post), and Cait has been very chatty about the movie, Into the Storm.
So combine one very sick animal and a wacko weather movie, and you won’t be surprised that I went looking for an app like this. It’s a great little app. If you decide to download it, … Read More
After two days of reasonable winter temps, we’re headed back for another brutal cold snap. All kidding aside about Graidy and Wink being winter wusses, they both have conditions that make the cold and snow more difficult for them to handle. Both have very fine, single layer coats with little insulation value (versus Kiera’s thick 2-layer winter coat with undercoat).

It’s been in the single and negative digits here for days, as it has been for many states across the Mid West and North East. Too cold for man or beast to dally outside.
When Kiera was here, she’d have pointed out that I wasn’t a man and she wasn’t a beast–and she would have insisted that we go walking.

Still got a long way to go until that ache is less achy…… Read More
What do five Border Collies do when they’re not working sheep? Well, they make their own entertainment … This just cracks me up!

And I especially hate it because of having to turn the clocks back. That’s because this guy has no concept of daylight savings time!
I don’t mind having learned to become an early riser to make sure Graidy can get himself outside at the crack of dawn. But I do mind having to now get up at what feels like the crack of the-middle-of-the-night. Two weeks … Read More
A dog-loving friend sent me this photo of her Halloweenie dogs.
I also get pictures of them in Christmas costumes. This friend doesn’t have 2-legged children, so her dogs fill some of that role. Any dog would be lucky to call her their dog mom. What she accomplishes with her rescue pups is truly amazing!
While I always get a giggle out of her photos, I’ve never thought about dressing up any of my dogs. So I’m curious–
Do you … Read More
