Falling leaves with Sam and Alex

My sweet babies, Sam and Alex, love to play outside and I let them run around the fenced yard and play as much as possible when I am off. Alex chases Sam and Sam chases Alex. This past weekend we spent a good bit of time in the yard raking and mowing because the leaves are falling so heavily now. I try to clean them up often so I don' t lose my dogs in all the leaves. I joked to some friends that the leaves in my yard were so heavy that when I saw a couple of moving ball of leaves coming toward… Continue

Puppy Growth

Our Black Lab puppy is now twenty four weeks old. His tail has started to curve to the right and his left back leg sometimes seems to splay out when he is running - has anyone else had this happen? He is a very large and 'leggy' pup and we wondered if this is a normal symptom associated with rapid growth and if it's something that's fairly common and they grow out of? Continue

November 13

Sam and I have finally adjusted to having Alex in the house. For nine years it was only Sam and myself. I kept thinking about getting Sam a little brother but just never did. When Alex came from Oklahoma to live with us I thought I had made the biggest mistake -- that was in August of 09. It is now November and the adjustment period is almost complete. Sam loves Alex just like I do and I can't tell you how much I enjoy being mommy to the both of them. Sam has been rejuvenated and loves to run an… Continue

Psychic pets ~Mali and boo boos

I am not sure what passes for psychic in animals. I have a young service dog named Mali. I got her when she was 11 weeks old. I had a trainer come to my home to help with her training through advanced obedience and hand signs, since then I have done the rest of her training and Mali has passed all the rest of her tests with 100%. At this time, Mali is only 15 months old. Mali had only had her harness for a couple of months. We were very proud of her, as she had passed the adult temperament test… Continue

An Audience

This august My husband and I took all three girls to a gathering in Northern New York where there were about 100 ISSR Shiloh Shepherds. The Founder of the Breed has this get together every year along with a huge Dog Show, Lectures from guest speakers, Rally meets and a ton of FUN. WE stayed a whole week had a lot of fun.

What's with Ning's dislike of I Remember Love

I have belonged to other Ning groups and am very active in one. However, in I Remember Love, I can't upload my photos. In Paws Up/Down, I can't make comments because it wants me to sign in. I'm already signed in!!! What gives? I tried to respond to a friend request, but it doesn't seem to exist! Why is Ning trying to destroy this beautiful site? Can anybody help me. If I didn't already belong to another Ning group that doesn't have these problems, I should have just given up… Continue

Mali and the Monster

~THIS IS AN OLDER POST BUT I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY IT~ Every night Steve and I take Mali to the green way. The green way is a 17-mile walking park. In between the trails, we walk and the return course there is a large field and today there were tractors racking and bailing hay. Mali loves going to go to the green way. She has many friends there, who often walk with us in a pack as we travel our three-mile route. One day when Mali was 7 months old, no one from the pack was on the Green Way wi… Continue

ISSR SHILOH SHEPHERDS

I had wanted to have another dog for many years. I wanted a dog which would be loyal, easy to train, intelligent, a watch dog not a guard dog, impressive in mind and body. One day I stumbled across a picture of a Shiloh Shepherd. I could not stop looking at the picture. It featured a group of shepherds who were eye popping to look at. Some of them were shorthaired or what I later learned is called smooth coated, and some of them were long haired, or plush if you will. The plush Shepherds look s… Continue

Niko, my beloved granddog who lived beyond his years due to the love of my daughter and son-in-law.

I have and have had many granddogs. Three have pssed on - Bo, Angus and Niko; three remain - Phoebe, Axel and Diesel. When I was with Phoebe after my daughter's memorial service I found the peace of mind I had been searching for over the days between my daughter's sudden death and her memorial service. Phoebe holds a sacred place in my heart. My daughter's dog, Niko, was to be put down but my daughter refused to do this; my son-in-law had to put him down and he cried so much an assistant followe… Continue

Evil Leash

My little Chihuahua puppy Jack has had a hard day today. First, Ben, my Border Collie, accidentally stepped on Jack. Jack is fine, but his leg hurt. So, I thought we'd go for a walk to see how Jack's leg would hold up. He'd stopped limping on it and it's nice out today. Jack has one of those retractable leashes. So the handle of it is boxy and red and plastic. I hooked Jack up and we started walking down the road. Jack is skittish, especially after being stepped on by the big dog so when someo… Continue

Best Training ever

I have spent many years trying to train our dog, and failing most of the time. When we bought a new pup, I was determined to make things easy for me and my dog. I have looked at lots of training devices and techniques, and found one of the best. It makes sense as you are rewarding the dog. You do not have to be strong or have a loud voice as the clicker does the work for you.

Miracles Happen

Around one year ago, a woman in my neighborhood lost her small Italian Greyhound. She was new to Buffalo then. I have never seen such dedication and perseverance in trying to find a lost pet. She placed ads, posters, online posts, classified ads, bulletin boards, etc. everywhere looking for him. At one point I emailed her to say I would be on the lookout. I always have a spare leash and doggy treats in my car, and also on walks. A year has passed. She has begun her search once more. This makes p… Continue
