Niño and I competed in an agility trial today in Gloucester, VA. Since there was an event photographer, I was going to keep my camera in the van…..THEN, I saw her across the ring. She had these big brown eyes and moved like nothing I’ve ever seen. To call her poetry in motion wouldn’t be...
There was a recent thread with a subject of “Guilt Over Leaving Dogs in the Evening” started by one of our Belgian e-friends in SoCal. During her night out she witnessed a historic baseball game won by the Bums who hit four straight homers to tie the game and then won it on another homah...
Do anyone of you have that “special” dog your life? Not the one who can herd like the best of the border collies, nor the one who can run an agility course like, well, like the best of the border collies. Not even the one who can track like a hound, capture a crowd’s heart...

I think we all know...
Ok, I had some coffee [but no toast yet] when I read a post from yesterday that started me thinking………..[yes, cue the music....but nothing from the Sound of Music] What are those repeated subjects that send people off on the email flaming/hurricane wars – not just this Belgian lists but other groups as well [but especially...
I’ve been getting up each morning because of the heat and working the dogs out instead of watching tv or eating my breakfast [but I still got the cup o' java - can I get an AMEN!?!?]. But, I digress. So, I’m working them out, doing some hard repetitive stuff, long sprints and some nice...
Ok, I’ve got a final opinion……… So, I’ve read and written alot about Cesar the Perro Whisperer. <Perro is dog in Spanish for those who took French and German in high school> My final conclusion is that I welcome him to the dog world. In my short time with dogs, I’ve tried and tried to...
