My kids and I slept in this morning. It felt so yummy, so luxurious, so needed. When my eyes did open to greet the day, I felt so completely rested and sated. Getting up, stretching, clear eyes, a big smile, please let me remember how dam good this feels! I went to put the kettle…

my lost boy
We all have our own way of grieving. We all take the time we need, or should learn to do so. We all have different hearts, feelings, and emotions that dictate how we will handle loss. Or not handle it. For me, I’m historically knocked to my knees, no matter how prepared I think I…
dog pond project – day #3
This is a ‘rolling the boulders’ kind of day. So far the largest of the bunch weighs in at 465 lbs. I am a fairly strong and substantially built person, I was of absolutely no help when it came to unloading this mother stone! Reinforcements were brought in, Spores friend Chris who we have known…
proofs from our first photo session
OK, so here are some of the proofs from our first professional photo session with Seth Robbins.I popped into our Gym at the end of the day after he had taken all of our clients photos. I just wanted one of my crew. He just started snapping away, and we had a ton of fun!…
why I love treibball!
Last year, the spring of 2011, I kept hearing about this new dog sport from Germany, something about urban herding, balls, goal keeping, etc. Everyone was spelling and pronouncing it a bit differently, lots of different opinions were floating around, good and bad, and I couldn’t seem to obtain clear information. In all honesty I…
throw the handler a bone too!
It’s always lovely to hear when someone appreciates your dog, thinks they’re cute, or is wowed by their talents. Their isn’t a dog person on the planet that doesn’t get gushy, even if it’s just a wee bit, when their dog gets attention. I know my Dad gets a nice smile on his face when…
the Male Dog
Humans talking about their own sexuality isn’t easy, speaking in general of course. Maybe because it goes beyond the act of sex and crosses the line of relationship and connection? In any case we will leave that up to the sex experts the like of Alfred Charles Kinsey to Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Humans talking about…
Dogs that take, Dogs that give, and those waiting to …
I hear on the daily – my dog loves to please me, my dog is so loyal, or conversely I wish my dog was more loyal, I wish he wanted to please me. Personally and professionally, I’ve always found this a bit odd. Simply from the stand point of slavishness, is that even a word?…
neighbors, and barking, and fence running… oh my!
I have four border collies and we live in an in town neighborhood. We have a large back yard, lots of fun dog things to do, trees, gardens, and room to play and run. This is my laboratory so to speak. Everything new that I am working on starts here, all new sports, games, and/or…
what is your dogs barometer for safety when out and about?
Franny, my forever teacher. Since I have four dogs, I tend to walk them singly or in pairs. I want to enjoy my walks as much as my dogs, so I choose to do multiple walks, and take a bit longer to do so. And I like when we can all be successful. All four…
