My brother said that line to me on the phone the other night, "each of us is somebody's weirdo." I don't think it was his own quote, but I thought it worth of passing along. I laughed both at how profound it was and how true. After all, who amongst us really is normal (other than yours truly of course:))?
This video was just sent to me and I know you will love it for so many reasons. It is about gratitude, it is about the love of dogs and it is about allowing your dog to communicate with you. Enjoy
As we approach the one year anniversary of the release of my 2x2 Weave Training DVD I thought I would welcome any questions you may have that I have not yet answered. 2x2 Weave Training DVD celebrates it's 1 year anniversary this month. By [...]
Recently I had someone ask me if I thought it would be a problem to let his dog bark while he shaped behaviours. First of all, the barking could be a sign that your dog training skills need to be sharpened. Perhaps have an experienced [...]
I can no longer make the claim that I have never watched a Star Trek or Star Wars movie. This past weekend three of my brothers and wives (well only 2 brought their wives) came over for potluck and a movie. One of my sister [...]
Sorry I had a bit of a hiatus this week. We had our final inspection on the new house so John and I have been running around like crazy. In the midst of it all Lynda (friend and one of our instructors here) [...]

Driving through Dallas on the way home yesterday we stopped to look at a litter of puppies (not for me, for Lynda). The breeder owned Encore’s litter-sister so we just had to have a photo shoot. Can you guess which one is [...]
On the way driving back home from the USDAA Nationals I can't help but think of how much I love my dogs. No we didn't win any championships this weekend, Encore hardly got around any runs clean as a matter of fact, poor girlie. But [...]
Well we are heading into day three today at the USDAA Nationals. The weather has been fantastic for dog agility, mid 70's! I have run 3 classes with Encore and 4 with Feature (Feature didn't get a bye into the semi finals in [...]
I love surprises, good ones that is. Like while I sit here at my computer for the 4th day on the road ( as we head to the 2009 USDAA Nationals) and yet another competitor whizzes by, honking as they recognize the "Empress" (. . [...]
