    Does your dog have a CGC/CGN?

    Zellie + Kaia have their CGCs; I am working towards Kaia's CGCA for now, but I would like to pursue Rally +/- OB +/- tracking with her. She is not a good candidate for therapy work at all. Zellie got her CGC when she was fairly young, and I never pursued anything with her because Clyde came...

    Backyard Chickens?

    I desperately want a French Copper Marans or two, but they will have to wait until next year. :( I have become obsessed with all things chicken, and have about a zillion other breeds I want to get at some point. Problem is, I only live on an acre, and therefore have limited space for...

    Backyard Chickens?

    Do any other Chazzers have pet chickens? I am picking up my "babies" on Thursday! I am getting two Ameraucanas, 2 cuckoo marans and one buff brahma; I'm also getting my friend's 4 cuckoo marans chicks for her to pick up from me this weekend. This is my first foray into "backyard...

    Purnia dog food and Labs?

    My dogs (and my cats) are eating ProPlan. They do really well on it. The veterinary nutritionists at my job recommend Purina diets over just about all other - not because of the branding and marketing, but because of the science and research that goes into the food. :dunno: Over the years...

    Breed(s) you would get except for...

    I would love a Malinois, but I know unequivocally that I am not suited for one. I admire them from afar. Same with Koolies. I have very bad Mal & Koolie envy from this forum (you know which Chazzers you are). I'd like a Gt. Schnauzer, but for their short lifespans. I'd love a CKCS but for...

    New lens, new light, same Rott

    Thanks, y'all! I'm using a 50mm f/1.4. It has, so far, been worth every cent. :)

    The Venting Thread

    I was contacted by a local kill shelter about photographing their adoptable animals, which I am all for... ...except they have the worst possible hours! The only time they allow photographers is Tuesday mornings from 9a-12p. As I have a full time job during the week, this is not something I...

    Triflexis Deaths?

    I've used Trifexis on my dogs and I love it. It's too cost prohibitive for me to use, though. I never had any issues, and to my knowledge, no clients pets that have been on it have had issues - other than maybe some mild GI upset, which is a known SE.

    Do you want kids?

    Precisely this. I'm almost 34, though, and I think it's getting to be a now-or-never issue over here. Plus, I have too many dogs & cats to have a kid. This started off with me not wanting kids at all, and it was like once I hit 30, something in me went, "okay... this is something you...

    Rehoming Cajun

    Having just gone through something similar (returning Gunnar to rescue), I understand and empathize. It's a very heartbreaking and humbling experience. Best wishes to Cajun, and you...

    Your dog's name vs. nicknames(s)

    Nat is Noodle, Pupperdogs or Natty Girl. StiXxX is Wii-Man, Stickyboy or Doodle. Zellie is Lew, Lewis, ZellieBells or Bells. I most commonly call her Lew or Lewis; my SO calls her Bells. The cleaning guy at my old work called her Sally. Kaia is Pretty Girl, Kai-Kai or Kai. Or Dumb Face.

    What is your heritage?

    My dad's mom was Spanish, Filipina + Chinese (her father was a Spaniard and her mother was 1/2 Filipina, 1/2 Chinese). My dad's dad is mostly German, I think. My mom's side of the family is Scot/Irish, Native American and other that I don't know. So I am a mutt of the highest order.

    Trick of the Week: Perch

    Day 3 of training, Kaia is making some progress. She'll stay standing on her two front feet for a little bit. I have to get my SO to help get her back feet on. Obligatory "training the dog in my PJs" pic:

    Trick of the Week: Perch

    Welp, Kaia & I did our 5 minutes of perch work tonight and she stood on her front legs on my back! This is great improvement from her crawling on my back yesterday. And of course, there was nobody else here to photograph it. So we'll just have to do it again with the SO gets home. :)
