Daily Life in a Multi Dog Household
Sioux is going to be spayed this Friday. She is about 7 months old, has not had a heat cycle, and has finished all her shots. Since we got her later than folks normally get a puppy (4 months old versus 8-10 weeks old), it took a little bit longer to get her shots done... Continue Reading →
Can anyone else relate? Refreshing the dogs' recall command can lead to fun! That will be this weekend's training goal.
While Joe and I have been playing around with competition obedience, Roo Frank has been trying his nose at nose work. He has been having a lot of fun with it. Last week was our first time searching with different sized boxes and off leash. He didn't seem to have any trouble finding the meatballs!

First posts are always overwhelming to write. I want to write everything down all at once so that you can know all the entire backstory of my pack and how we came to be. Even though I'd like to write a novel about each of us, I'll skip the writer's diarrhea as I like to... Continue Reading →
The way we see it, people fall into two groups: dog people and everyone else. I am the proud owner mother feeder of five dogs. You read that correctly - 5 dogs. I haven't always had 5, but I've always had dogs. I'm so blessed to be able to share my time, my space, and... Continue Reading →
