Just wondering if anyone else on the forum as a FitBark for their dog(s)? Kili has had hers since New Year's and we really enjoy it. It really does show the huge difference in activity level for us between winter and spring, and also what a big difference getting to take her out on my lunch...

I don't see a 2016 puppy thread yet!? Wow, it really IS slow around here! Come on folks, let's hear about those puppies! My potential puppy was born last night! I had just messaged my breeder on Facebook earlier in the day to let her know I got the official "ok" from DBF to get a puppy...

I can't believe how long it's been since I was on here! And I don't even know why!? Kili and I have been doing pretty well. She completed a bunch of agility titles in both CKC and AAC, learned a bunch of big disc tricks (vaults, dog catch, etc), and was invited to play with the SuperDogs...

I know we've got some breeders on the forum, and I'm just wondering what got you into it in the first place? As sort of a bit of context for why I'm asking.... I'm not seriously thinking about breeding any time soon. However, I'm curious about it, and I'm not ruling it out as a possibility...

I was just at the pet store to pick up some dehydrated food. I wanted to have some on hand to introduce the pups to so that in future I don't have to lug heavy kibble when we travel or camp. There were quite a few different ones which made my life difficult. I eliminated Orijen right away...

Now that Kili has more vaults in her toolbox and we're playing more disc, I've been thinking about something for carpal support during practice. She doesn't have dewclaws so I think it's a little more necessary for her. I know a lot of people just wrap with vet wrap... and I have easy access to...

Gah! I need to be talked off the puppy ledge! My breeder has a female that I really love, and I've already mentioned in the past that I want one of her puppies. That was back when Kili was only about a year old I think. She was going to try to breed her that year (didn't catch) and then again...

Seriously. WHY? My first intact female and I decide to let her have a few heats since she's an agility dog. Why do I get the dog that decides she's going to be a weirdo freak? I realize there's no absolute "normal" when it comes to females in heat, but for someone who really doesn't want an...

I have been jogging with Kili for over a year now and we love it! Off leash on trails, on leash in town. I started thinking how it would be nice to go for longer on a bike. I haven't had one for awhile because my knees do this weird thing... but I digress. My friend just gave me an old...

Kili has been acting really strange all night. I've been up since about 1:30 AM (it is now almost 6 AM) because of it. All day yesterday was totally normal. I had the day off so we did some training, watched t.v. and I went out and did errands. She was on her game in training, ate both...

As some of you may remember from an earlier thread, Kili and I were invited to give an agility demo at a greyhound event in Utah in May. I'm fundraising the necessary monies for us to be able to go. My first fundraiser was greyhound t-shirts, so I didn't really post them on here since they...

Disc dog people! I need advice for teaching a vault. I found some videos on youtube done by some big name disc dog guys but... come on... that CANNOT be the starting point of a vault. I need more baby steps than that. They're like "You position your dog close to you. Hold the disc up for a take...

I check my blog e-mail rather infrequently since I don't get much mail there. Well, I checked it yesterday and had two e-mails from September... so I guess I need to check it a little more often. One of those e-mails was from the organizer of a pretty big greyhound event asking if we would...

With Kili beginning her agility career I've been thinking about my goals for her and figured it would be fun to hear about everyone else's too! To my knowledge, no greyhound in AAC agility has earned their MADC (but there is one listed as earning their AADC and if it was recently then someone...

We just moved across the country and are now in Edmonton living with my boyfriend's brother and sister-in-law. They have a little beagle who has sort of piqued my curiosity. I'm interested to know: in comparison to what you consider the "average", how much time do you spend with your dog and how...

I need a good treat pouch. I'm sick of the unfunctional ones that are always offered in pet stores. I hate drawstrings... they take too long. The last one I had I liked better than most because it had a magnet closure. Also it buckled around my waist so even if I didn't have belt loops it was...

I am a little irritated. It has always bothered me how dog unfriendly North America is but right now we are on a cross country move. On top of that we got stranded for a few days because of issues with our trailer. But we're having a hard time trying to make the best of a crappy situation...

As some of you already know thanks to my pre-trial woes, Kili is coming into her first season. We've had increasing vulvar swelling for 5 days now but that's about it so far. From those of you who now find this commonplace... what do you do with your in season bitches? I'm mostly talking...

I've been curious about this for awhile. I'm on a greyhound forum, and from time to time there are posts about greyhounds being attacked on walks by aggressive, loose dogs (walking not on a leash, allowed to roam, loose in unfenced yard, etc.). As a result, I have come to discover that MANY...

Well, not the Easter bunny... just my bunny Caspian. Poor Kili just wants to play with him. And sniff his butthole. Why is his butthole always so close to the ground? ha ha. Caspian, for his part, is unperturbed by her ridiculous enthusiasm. Of course... there are rules. Kili is not good...
