Chase the Puppy!

28 December, 2007 (08:40) | Tatum | By: Cynthia

Do you play Chase the Dog at your house? Most dogs love this game… where they get to run and you chase them all over the place.
As a general rule I don’t play Chase the Puppy. The only dog I’ve played this game with is Angel. Mostly because she gets so very excited. Her [...]

Shandy, Cash and Rift

27 December, 2007 (15:59) | Daily Posts | By: Cynthia

Hey cool… Shandy, Cash and Rift, dogs that live pretty close to me and do agility and obedience, have their own blogs. I thought I’d post their links so my regular readers can check them out too.
If you want to see a dog that makes obedience look easy, check out Cash! [...]

More on Being Green

27 December, 2007 (14:31) | Uncategorized | By: Cynthia

Earlier I posted about having a green dog. And I will admit, I haven’t yet done much to go green. However, I have been looking around the web to find places where I can buy products that are green, environmentally friendly, and I’ve found a great site that has a lot of good items.
Green [...]

Collies at the Dog Park

Well, we didn’t see any collies other than the three who I brought. But they sure had fun! I took Tony, Tatum, Levi and Chase to the dog park. They ran and ran and played and played and had a great amazing time.
Tatum was shy the last time I took her, but this time [...]

It’s Christmas Collie Day! Or, err… Christmas Day for the Collies. One or the other, or maybe both, even.

And my sister (human sister lol) and her son got the dogs some fun toys. One is a Christmas tree. The other is a rabbit that lost his head. And [...]

Dremmel and Squeeze Cheese are Gold!

23 December, 2007 (20:57) | Chase, Tatum | By: Cynthia

Okay, I’m sold on the Dremmel. My dogs are already pretty good.. most of them, anyway. And so we are leaps and bounds above just starting a new dog on a Dremmel, or a puppy. And after I wrapped Christmas presents today, including volcom clothing, I decided that it was Dremmel [...]

The New Nail Tool

Okay so finally I’ve gotten a decent Dremmel. I actually didn’t know there were good options until my friend told me so. She showed me hers, and told me to use squeeze cheese to get the dogs accustomed to it. Even already, first time, Chase, Lucy and Levi had it touch their toe nails [...]

Puppy Class Tonight!

19 December, 2007 (16:25) | Tatum | By: Cynthia

Yay, I get to take Tatum to puppy class tonight. We will have fun. She is doing so very well in puppy class. I am trying to teach her to wait, but that is just going to take a lot of work and time at home. To tell you the truth, I’ve not been [...]

Stand for Exam and Heeling

19 December, 2007 (09:01) | Chase, Obedience | By: Cynthia

Two of the most critical things for Chase to learn at the moment.. before he goes into Novice to get his CD in Obedience, is the Stand for Exam and Heeling.
The Stand for exam is so hard for him. Hard, because he loves people! Which actually says a lot for him. When he was [...]

The Starfish

18 December, 2007 (08:24) | Uncategorized | By: Cynthia

I want to thank everyone’s kind and comforting words yesterday for me, and for little Gratzy who died yesterday. I slept okay last night, only dreamed a little bit of the situation. And not horribly, thank the gods. I hate having awful dreams and I was afraid I would and I would feel [...]
