Muffit and the Husband

29 September, 2008 (16:04) | Muffit, Training | By: Cynthia

Muffit is such a good sweet boy and he’s coming a long way in his training. His box work is so great for flyball! Of course his behavior still needs some work. Maybe if I join the wine of the month club I can cope with him better! But I just like wine so never [...]

Lucy in her Chair

27 September, 2008 (13:40) | Lucy | By: Cynthia

Lucy is such a good girl and she’s doing so well with her Bailey’s Chair. Sometimes she still worries us.. okay, most times we are still worried about her. But she’s gained her weight back and her energy is back up to normal, and we are happy about that. My friend Christy [...]

Happy Birthday Boys

22 September, 2008 (16:19) | Chase, Muffit | By: Cynthia

So Muffit and Chase are pretty lucky boys. Not only do they get a Gotcha Day each, they also get a birthday. It’s a made-up birthday for the dog sports they are in. We usually celebrate both… and this one was the Made-Up-Birthday-Day on September 21!
They didn’t get any Vegas vacations this year… though Chase [...]

A Trip to the Dog Park

19 September, 2008 (18:30) | Daily Posts | By: Cynthia

I don’t usually like dog parks… mainly because my dogs don’t do too good at them. But I have to say, some of my dogs don’t do good at them.. but actually, only one doesn’t do good at them anymore. Levi used to be horrible, barking at people, running amok, when he was young. He’s [...]

All My Dogs Are Perfect

18 September, 2008 (16:15) | Daily Posts | By: Cynthia

a: being entirely without fault or defect : flawless [a perfect diamond] b: satisfying all requirements : accurate c: corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept [a perfect gentleman]
I have just been thinking, lately, that each and every one of my dogs is perfect. Flawless even? I think so. They are who [...]

I am an Animal Lover

Oh yes I am!
Your result for The Are you an animal person Test…
Complete Misanthrope

Not only do you love animals, but you HATE people. You wish that humans had never evolved. You might have therianthropic tendencies. You would feel right at home at a PETA or ALF meeting, and would be proud to [...]

The Box

17 September, 2008 (08:52) | Chase, Flyball | By: Cynthia

So here is a picture of Chase on the flyball box. He is getting all four feet up on the box, but only because there is a prop in front of the box that pushes him up on it.
I really want to clicker train him to get up there without a prop. His box [...]

Pfft what a Week

17 September, 2008 (06:22) | Daily Posts, Flyball, Muffit | By: Cynthia

Well, I’m here.. sorta. I’m still recovering from my server’s hard drive failure. I still haven’t gotten all these blog posts restored, but I’m getting close. Then yesterday when I tried to tweak mysql for better performance, I lost database connection for a few hours. I’m glad that worked itself out!
Maybe I shouldn’t count [...]

Another Flyball Tourney Over

15 September, 2008 (14:49) | Flyball | By: Cynthia

Got back from the flyball tournament today. It was fun. I will be looking up our results and posting about them soon, either here or on the new blog I set up for our flyball team.
It was great, Chase did awesome as usual, though he tore a gash in his shoulder at one point, not [...]

Building a Crate Platform

Well, I am still recovering from my host’s hard drive failure. TatumTot.com is back online and almost 100% though I lost some comments. My other sites are coming up. This one isn’t 100% yet, mostly because I haven’t had the time to repost the individule posts I had to get off RSS (thanks [...]
