Dogs make the darnedest faces #2
Wordless Wednesday: ROGL
Ever see a dog fly?
Dogs make the darnedest faces #1
I let Scrappy down today
I didn’t trust what he was telling me. Perhaps it would be better to say that I didn’t trust my first interpretation of what he was telling me. Scrappy is one of our best dog testers. When meeting new dogs he is calm and doesn’t usually react badly if the other dog dog is unsure of herself or behaves a bit rudely. He also doesn’t push himself on a new dog. Well, to be honest, he can be somewhat too thorough in the olfactory examination — if you know what I mean. Today we paired him up with a girl…
Sometimes you just want to get closer
I probably should be writing about Teddy. I’ve been working with him for a while and he’s an interesting dog. But I don’t have the energy at the moment. Plus, I think we may be on the cusp of a significant accomplishment. I hope. So more to come on this boy. I did, however, feel the garden beckoning late this afternoon. I have been using one lens a lot lately and felt an urge to get closer to the subject so I pulled out the macro. There were some new roses to shoot. And some irises. The iris was one…
Wordless Wednesday: Leftover Bear
Yule and Bear and Scrappy and Teddy
It’s been a challenging week. I think a scorecard to help keep track of the dogs involved would be a good idea. Bear is staying with me for an extended time while a friend attends to some important matters. Yule arrived on Sunday to board with me this week. I wrote on Sunday that we introduced Bear and Yule and it didn’t go well. This meant I had to keep them separate. But I couldn’t put anyone in my kennels because Teddy, the Homeward Bound dog I am working, is, shall we say, not very welcoming. So Bear would have…

Yule arrives in March
Remember Yule? He’s back for a visit. If you haven’t yet read about Yule, you can get caught up here and here. I mentioned in another post that Scrappy has been irked with me due to the number of dogs I bring through the house. He does growls softly from time to to register his displeasure with me as well as the canine object of his annoyance. Scrappy and Yule have played well together in the past. In fact, Scrappy is still the only dog Yule ever gets really close to. But I wondered if Scrap’s bad attitude would extend to…
Introducing dogs
On Saturday Judy O and Lori were introducing dogs. I hung around to watch. Sunshine was already out in a yard with them so they went off to see which dog would be a good match for her. For the most part we don’t bring dogs together for safety reasons. Not all dogs are friendly with other dogs and it’s a challenge to keep track of who is and who isn’t. So we keep them at a safe distance. But the experienced walkers do introductions for several reasons. We do initial dog tests just to help determine if a dog…
