I've done that drive. Heck, I just drove from LA to Albuquerque last week. It's a relatively quick, inexpensive drive - just take i40 straight across the country. i40 starts in LA and stops in Nashville. Expect it to take 3 days of 12 hour driving with a few stops, 4 days of 9 hour driving with...

Coming from a male's perspective when reading this thread: I get the impression that there are a few lucky older guys out there. :D

Amber, I've started two small businesses so I'm pretty familiar with the legal, accounting, and management aspects. My accountant recommends sticking with a DBA if your business makes under $50,000 a year. To form a DBA you go to your county clerk's office and fill out a form. Voila. You have...

This poor little Sheltie is still there. :(

There's a beautiful little tri Sheltie available at the Albuquerque Humane Society. She's been there since May 25. The owners dropped her off at the shelter because they "were moving" - I guess they didn't want to have the hassle of a dog during the move. :mad: I would adopt her, but I have a...

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I'm sure that Rusty will appreciate them once he learns to sit at the computer and read. ;) Rusty is definitely oversized; he was by far the largest pup in his litter. The size difference between him and the runt of the litter was striking! He was about...

Meet Rusty the purebred Shetland Sheepdog! He's ~3 months old and full of life. The only time I can get a photo of him is when he's eating or sleeping!

Just trying to help. ;)

Laurelin, my dog loves cardboard paper towel tubes too! He values them above almost any food treat. Kaylee, try training Sophie's recall using games. For example, fill a plastic bag with her morning breakfast kibble. Let Sophie smell the bag, then start dancing backwards while saying, "Come...

First, I apologize on behalf of my gender. Second, if speaking to his boss doesn't work, try the following: Approach him in the kindest way possible. Make sure to project that you only have the best intentions in mind for him. Absolutely ooze kindness and sincerity. Tell him that he is...

Watson's absolutely gorgeous! The little sheep probably had it coming. ;)

Samantha, My father drove a 2006 Acura TL for ~3 years. It was an excellent, reliable car with a great interior, tons of features, comfortable seats, a good GPS/Nav system, a good sound system, etc. The only downside was that it requires premium gasoline. I can't imagine spending that much on...

Mine heavily pushes Royal Canin. There are Royal Canin posters all over the office, and two walls are absolutely filled with the different varieties. Thankfully there's an a small store in town that has ~5 refrigerators filled with raw food, and every premium dry / canned food you can think of...

I've had the same experience. My vet bills here in Albuquerque are minuscule compared to what I paid when I lived in Chicago! One of the few benefits of being a New Mexican. :cool:

Thank you all for your advice! I wrote a longer post, but it is being "held for moderation". I'm not sure why. Perhaps I wrote the phrase "thank you" too many times? ;) YodelDogs, The puppies in your video are absolutely adorable, and the dogs on your website are some of the most beautiful...

Thank you all for your advice. From what everyone is saying it sounds as though a Sheltie would be a better fit for my lifestyle. I've scheduled a time to visit the breeder's ranch to meet the dogs and puppies. If I feel a connection to one of the puppies I will likely add a Sheltie to the...

Sara and Laurelin, Thank you for your replies. The description that Sara provided of Basenjis is true to what I've heard and read. I'm looking for a dog that is bright, affectionate, non-threatening towards strangers (my college students), and adaptable. The dog should also be friendly...

Hey everyone, I've been a member for 5 years but have never posted. Go figure! My beautiful long-haired dachshund passed away last year and the house has felt empty; living alone is hard to adapt to after living with a dog! I've been on the lookout for a sweet, healthy puppy to add to the...
