    Charlotte was rushed off the the emergency vets tonight...

    So, we're currently in NH, visiting my mom, and staying at her house. My mom has a huge fenced in backyard with a large 30foot travel trailer parked in the back. Earliar tonight, I was out on my mom's back deck with the dogs, when Charlotte got a sudden burst of energy and began zooming around...

    This is not Charlotte's year... Attacked by neighbor's dog

    Charlotte was attacked by a neighbor's dog last night, and got the worst of things. We were coming back inside from a walk, when the neighbor's dog, some kind of Pit Bull-hound mix, bolted from their open door and went right for Charlotte. Char's age is catching up to her. She's not as fast or...

    Focus training with an ACD

    Ma'ii has issues lol. I make the joke everyone else does about my dog having ADHD, but I'm only half joking. He has serious issues focusing. Part of it I think might be his eyesight is getting bad, but when we're out and about, his attention is on everything but me. Except with treats. He's very...

    So Ma'ii went Cujo today...

    So we had an interesting afternoon! We took the dogs out to run errands today, and while going through a McDonalds drivethru, this one lady FLIPPED out when we wouldn't let her in line to order her food. She began swearing, and name calling us every word in the book, then proceeded to actually...

    Emergency plans in severe weather

    So, we're in TN now, and we celebrated our very first week down here by hiding out at work from a EF2 tornado that ripped through town on Tuesday evening! Our dogs, were of course, back home, and I had never been more scared in my life. I wasn't worried at all about us, I was scared for them. We...

    Please keep Charlotte in your prayers

    Just got back from the vets with her. There's a very high possibility my baby girl has breast cancer. Will know more in a few weeks. Please keep her in your thoughts.

    Pet peeve #875: People who freak out over a growling dog (rant)

    Something I run into often enough that really gets under my skin are people who seem to think a growling dog = an unstable, dangerous dog. I got into a conversation with someone on another site about her dog, who she took to a very busy non-dog event where there were people everywhere, costumes...

    Fulltime Rving - Life on the road with dogs

    I've been meaning to make this thread for a long time now. I've mentioned in bits and pieces over the years that my husband and I are fulltime travelers/RVers, who travel from coast to coast and everywhere in between regularly. Most of our traveling is based on a seasonal work pattern we have...

    Sense of humor in dogs

    So last night I was sitting in bed on my laptop when Ma'ii came over and jumped up to lay down beside me, with his butt facing me. As he's sitting there quietly, he turned to look down at Charlotte on the floor, then CRANKED his head backwards in a freakishly unnatural position to look at me...

    Meanwhile, deep in the Pine Barrens....

    The dogs have been horribly pent up due to us being horribly crappy dog owners and not taking them out to run the past couple weeks (been working long, hard hours lately), so today we decided to go out and explore some of the random paths that lead into the Pine Barrens. While out there, we...

    Lens suggestions!

    I'm looking to get a new lens for my Canon SLR, and was wondering what some of you may suggest! I have a budget of $600, and mainly use it to take good, clear shots of my dogs in action. I was thinking of maybe a good macro lens of some kind. Any suggestions?

    Ma'ii swimming and running with a bike

    We took Ma'ii to the park today to play around on the new long line. It took some convincing, but I got him to jump in the water and play around a bit. "Wait, you want me to what?" "Okay, I guess. But only because it will make you happy" "Uuuhhh..."...

    This is why I need to stay away from shelters

    http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/29142649/ 2 weeks ago, my husband and I walked into an adoption event while picking up food for the dogs at a local petstore. There were cages and kennels full of dogs and puppies everywhere, but my eyes were immediately drawn to this guy above. He looked...

    Well that was terrifying

    So this is why I like going on hikes with Charlotte. Because unlike Ma'ii, she only acts up when something is seriously wrong. Some of you know from my picture threads that we've been boondocking way up in the national forest areas of AZ, near the grand canyon. We are way, way, way out there...

    A butt load of pics from the wilds of AZ

    As the title implies :D We'll start off with Charlotte, who's having the time of her life out here, and is so happy she could dance. Her and Ma'ii get to tear loose together and unleash the wild beasts within. Sometimes I mistaken them for wildlife...

    Antler hunting

    Anyone do this with their dogs? I just bought a training kit in hopes of doing this with Charlotte. We're way up in the boonies of northern AZ, where there's elk and deer everywhere, and Charlotte is already really good at finding random animal bones. I'd love to find some antler sheds this...
