  • Christmases of the Past

    I had these hanging at the office - a Christmas retrospective of sorts. As I was taking them down I thought I'd share (and to some extent preserve) our cards of the past. Christmas 2003: Kasei posing in front of my enormous Christmas Tree. This was just before his crutiate surgery. Remember FILM? Christmas 2004: 7 year old Kasei (r) and and 8 month old Murphy. The card that launched the era of more involved dog cards and thankfully we're nowdigital!!! Christmas 2005: A sad year for us. Kasei...

    The goods.How about another grain and gluten free cookie? These super easy and simple to make bite-sized yum-yums are also dairy-free and nut-free and depending on how you make them - a great size for training! Previous entries in the Cookie Challenge: Smurphy's Embarky Bars, Teller's PB&C's and Q's Tuna Surprise. Ingredients: 1 can of pumpkin - in our case we used squash - same thing. 1/2 can "lite" coconut milk 5 eggs pinch salt Method: Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl, mix....

    Well it took three trips (and two hours) out to Williston today to work Teller for 15 minutes - but persistence eventually paid off and Teller got to play a little - as did Murphy who wanted to work a little today - could have been the tuna brownies in my pocket more than an actual work ethic though.

  • And a Christmas romp....

    Not a bad way to spend the holiday if I do say so myself....After watching Murph make one lap yesterday and then fuss over snow in his feet for the rest of the romp I decidedto put a full set of Pawz on Murphy to see if he'd play in them. His initial reaction was unfavorable - standing in one spot SURE I was abusing him. Once I let him out though he seemed to quickly forget about hisgrievances. Towards the end of the romp he was fussing with a back foot, when I removed the Pawz I did find...
  • Christmas for the boys...

    So, what did two very well behaved golden retrievers (who are certainly on Santa's nice list) get for Christmas this year? After spending so much time on the road lately - and in their crates in the van - it seemed logical to improve their "digs" a little. The perfect opportunity to upgrade their comfort arose when I went shopping at the Thanksgiving cluster and met the folks from Kennel Cushion. Teller (l) and Murphy (r) model their new Kennel Cushions.The Kennel Cushion beds are made from...
  • What's better than a day off?

    How about a little bit of agility and the most marvelous blue skies that make the new snow glisten under brillant sun...we haven't had much sun lately and even less opportunity to get out and enjoy it. Teeter reps for Teller-Woo and then out to romp! December 24th: The one and only action shot of Murphy today - one good romp followed by 15 minutes of gimping around with snowballs in his feet. Next romp he's getting his own set of "Pawndoms" :-) December 24th: Teller off for the ball. December...
  • More tales of the toe

    Woo's little outpatient kwik procedure was two weeks ago yesterday. He so dutifully kept his bandage on for three days, patiently waited for me to bag and sock him every time he went outside (and un-sock and un-bag him every time he came back inside) - all well and good until I dumped a water bowl on the floor and Teller decided to play in it...Wet bandages are always a bad thing so off it came. It looked pretty good and once I got it washed off it didn't smell bad either. Teller was really...
  • Advanced Agility - December 23rd, 2010 - FAST

    OK gang, here's the FAST sequence for tomorrow night...The plan: You are to come up with at least two different runs - and map out how many points you hope to earn for each run. Don't worry, we'll have multiple walk-throughs so you won't have to store both plans in memory. Questions?
