I haven't shared pictures of Cali in forever, even though I take pictures of her pretty frequently. I posted this on another forum, but I figured I would post it here too! It's pretty warm out today, so we didn't stay out for too long, but we went out to the field to toss around one of her...

As some of you have probably noticed, I'm doing a bit of research into getting my next dog... who will either be a Toller or an Aussie, although leaning more towards an Aussie again after a conversation with Toller_08 and realizing they might indeed be the better fit. :) But anyways, I would...

I've been looking into lots of grad schools... primarily ones offering clinical psychology, as that's what I'm interested in, and dentistry, as that's what my boyfriend is going into, and one of those is the University of Manitoba which is located in Winnipeg. Neither of us have been to...

I won't be getting another dog until likely after undergrad, since that is when I'll be going to grad school and moving to where I will hopefully stay, but I've been doing some thinking on potential dog breeds... mostly just for fun. :P I've always been a fan of Aussies, but after thinking...

I have been wondering recently if bringing Cali here to live with me during the school year would be the best thing for her or not, so I'm hoping to hear your experiences. As a bit of context, Cali is currently at home with my mom... who works a typical daytime job but she does a lot of work...

I'm currently trying to find the perfect winter coat for Cali. I've been browsing Etsy and found this coat in particular: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/69673298/tootlewears-all-breed-winter-vest They actually have a few coats that I could see myself purchasing, and better yet, they have...

I don't post too often about our family dog, Moses, but I need some advice. I'll add in a bit of context first though. Moses is twelve, going on thirteen, and although he'd like to think he's about two years old... he's not. He's starting to act his age, so to speak, and is having trouble...

Cali got her first dental this past summer, and I'm starting to wonder if perhaps a twice annual dental is what would work best for her. I'll be honest and say that, in the past, I have often forgetten to brush her teeth. Antlers/chews/etc are what I mainly rely on to keep her teeth clean...

As the title suggests, I am trying to change my eating habits. My main problem is that I'm picky when it comes to vegetables, as well as many other things, so carbs/meat/seafood make up the majority of my diet. I think that with vegetables, it is primarily the texture that ruins it for me... but...

I got a new bag for school, and just for fun, I tried putting Cali in it. Now, I am almost embarrassed to say that she genuinely enjoyed it. The funniest part was when I tried to get her out. I would tip it over on the couch, and she would walk out... but as she saw me moving it...

Cali had gone in for a dental appointment last week, on Wednesday, and lately, I'm noticing that she's wheezing. My mom describes it as a "snuffle/snort". I've only noticed it within the past couple days, but my mom says she remembers it starting after the dental. I'm just wondering if this...

I am going to be graduating next year, and frankly, it terrifies me. My mom is piling on the pressure to start looking at universities, and I have, but unfortunately, my province doesn't have too much to offer. As a result, I want to go to university out of province, but there's cons to that as...

I found a website, activedogtoys.com, and they have a relatively large selection of dog puzzles and toys... and I'd love to buy Cali a few. However, I was wondering how you determine the difficulty level of said toys?

I'm considering getting Cali an allergy test when she goes in for a dental cleaning within the next couple weeks. She's been itching at herself a lot lately and I'm wondering about a specific trigger. I'm just curious about the price and what it entails. I know what a human allergy test...

Personally, I'm starting to prefer more aloof dogs, although I do appreciate it when a dog is friendly when meeting new people instead of stand-offish or nervous. I think that Cali could be considered overly friendly, although I do love the fact that I can take her anywhere and I have zero...

At least, that's what I think this new problem comes down to. Cali is good about ignoring barking dogs and walking past dogs/people while on walks or out and about... however, she's starting to become somewhat reactive if people or dogs suddenly come into view. I'm not sure if reactive is the...

I'm starting to think that an Aussie puppy will be feasible within a couple of years, and since my mom and I both decided that Cali would be better off staying home with her, I think it'd be a good time depending on how my schedule at university is. I'd also be living in a city, likely with my...

Just as the title suggests, I'm looking for some tips on having a small dogs and large dogs living together... as eventually, I would like for Cali to try coming to live with me at my dad's after my first year in university. Dooly is pretty well socialized and trained, however, at almost four...

One of the cats at the barn I ride at had kittens about five to six weeks ago. Last week, they were all doing fine and figuring things out. Tonight, I noticed that one of them is considerably smaller than the others and his/her eyes are sealed shut with yellow discharge and it's also on the...

I was planning on doing flyball and rally with Cali this spring/summer/fall but after talking with the training, I found out that she was unable to use the tennis court this year and has to do her classes about an hour away... so we're unable to do classes this year, which is a huge bummer since...
