Swine Flu?
Ok, I really feel like crap. I returned home from San Diego, which John points out is way to close to Mexico not to be concerned, and came down with the flu. Last night I had to wake him up at 2 AM to get me something for my fever as I thought I was [...]
Read moreAggression or Spatially Sensitive, Does it Really Matter?
Sorry all, that I have been away from the blog. I have had lots to say, but life has gotten in the way. I wanted to comment on the issue of dog:dog aggression. I think the run of spatially sensitive dogs we have had at our camps recently warrants the mention of solutions on this blog. First [...]

Read moreA Special Gift for You!
