Krystal did retrieve when she first came to me from the shelter. However that ability disappeared when we moved??? We did have a dog park community the first year we were here, where she showed a surprising competitive streak when someone threw a ball. The norm there was to return the ball so it...

Wonderful news, so nice to hear your excitement from your writing :thumbsupsmileyanim:

I love how you've captured the transition from fog to sun. beautiful.

We encounter lots of kids when we're out on our walks. Krystal loves being petted by kids who live with dogs, because they're comfortable with her and respect her (respect is important to a Westie), and play with her. Since she's so cute and gentle, and very much small kid size, she gets...

Yes and no. If it's really hot or cold, she stays at home. She's only 10 pounds and can go hypothermic easily. Otherwise I might take her for a long walk with a friend and then leave her in the car while we grab a bite to eat. While she's in her car seat she's highly visible, so I put those...

Hi, I'd appreciate some information about why my posts do not show my dog's profile photo, and why I'm unable to load photos for signature, etc. I know how to load photos, etc but somehow I'm stymied on this one. Tm I violating a rule? Thanks.

Yes, people love my dog Krystal, and she loves them. Children particularly love her and always want to pet her. I always make them ask their parents so I can be sure it's ok. Then I sit on the ground, and "manage" the children petting her. That way I can make sure they have a good experience. Of...

Reading your list of desires, I can wholeheartedly recommend a Westie/Poodle mix. Mine is 10 pounds and shows the adaptability you desire and the ability to master just about anything that's "thrown" at her. Her poodle heritage is a teacup. She's smart and innovative, and has initiative as well...

It looks like we're developing an inventory of products people like. Before I wrote this post I had tried Tropiclean detangler that has zillions of Amazon recommendations, but didn't seem to work for us. I've just ordered Cowboy Magic from Amazon and that also has zillions of...

After I brought Krystal home from the shelter, she started with her fear barking of other dogs. It got so bad people were afraid of her, and I didn't know how to handle it. Luckily we were starting a training class and the instructor had 4 terriers. Krystal's half Westie and half Poodle...

Thanks very much. Kaye

Detangler Thanks very much. I'll try these out and let you know! Kaye

headstand Hi, When my dog Krystal came to live with me from the shelter, I accidently used a word that commanded her to go into a little circus routine. It was clear she'd been trained to do this by her previous owner. She's 10 pounds and a Westie/Poodle mix. She was so thrilled to show...

Hi, This is the first time I've had this problem with Krystal's hair. She's got a lot of matting and tangles, especially on the top of her head. I'd like to detangle it rather than cut it. She doesn't have fur, she's got hair. Any product or procedure recommendations? Thanks.

Hi, Krystal and I have joined you. We live in Albuquerque, NM and really enjoy hiking in the mountains. Krystal's picture was taken during our hike yesterday. Krystal was found as a stray, and a kindhearted woman picked her up and drove her to the local shelter. They fed her, cleaned her...
