This is a movie I made, dedicate to German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County. Jake and I used to foster for them. The first and title picture is of Kraemer, my foster boy. It nearly killed me to watch him go to his forever home. The most bittersweet moment of my life thus far. I was in love with...

This is Buddy. He's a young, shepherd/pit mix or something of the sort. He was found and brought into my store last night. He is currently waiting at the North County Humane Society (a kill shelter) to see if his family shows up. If not, then I have from 10am to 11am on Weds, to pick him up...

As I was trying to say, no my dog is not defective. She walks in to walls because she isn't paying attention to where she is going. Not because of genetics. She isn't stumbling around. Just not using what little brain she has. She couldn't get over the thing in the room because she was...

More collie "intelligence" showing. The first video was taken before the second one. And Dakota. She felt left out.

This is Piper. She was born Christmas day, 2002. She died exactly one year later to the minute. No one knows how. There was NOTHING wrong with this dog. I still have flashbacks and cry over it sometimes. Here's a video I made in her memory...

I make videos. I LOVE making videos. Here is my collection. They are all good, but I am biased, lol. My favorites are the rescue ones and the first Faithey one and the second dog one, I think. Rescue Videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcWlQBqKQYk...

Skylarks, Right. So in other words it's a glorified puppy mill?!?!?!!? You can be the first to defend a puppy miller all you want, but meanwhile the rest of us will be the ones defending the dogs that are currently being abused at Raebark kennels. YES, I did say ABUSED! IMO, it is...

And the lovely Faith, of course.

Kodie baby.

Missed you, too! Yes, I am still in California. And HERE are some piccies!!! My Ramone.

How's Roxy, you ask? Well I hear she's doing fine, cuddling up with her chichi! :D

A proper leash correction in this situation can work. It's not going to provoke the dog further if you do it right.
