    Dog in pond

    If it was me, I would probably: - Wash or hose her down before she gets back inside the house. It's warm now, should be easier. - Dry her with towels after washing or hosing her. - So now she is less dirty and less wet - Fence off the sofas/cushions inside the house with some kind of portable...

    Dogs and squirrels.

    From my 8 years with previous Ridgeback, and in 1.5 years with the current one - chasing squirrels is in the 4th place on the list of enjoyables, only yielding to chasing deer, chasing rabbits, and playing rough games with other big dogs. No kind of treats even come close. That said, in...

    The Dog Cafe

    Cooked tongue is delicious! One day perhaps try an old Uzbekistan recipe - while radish thinly sliced and cut into long thin strips, onion fried in oil to golden brown, mix all this with mayo and sliced cooked tongue... salt/pepper... some folks add chopped boiled egg, others add parsley.. some...

    Sharing back seat with a giant pup

    Riding in the back seat with Baby Miles - hardly enough space for 2 of us, but plenty of fun :D

    Little Frenchie

    I would say - need to be proactive in establishing the pattern of never peeing inside the apartment. Grab him and run to the balcony many times during the day, and during the night too. He goes - great, big celebration, fireworks, balloons, treats, etc. He doesn't - fine. Next cycle won't be far...

    Castration? Yes or No?

    My 2 cents: There ought to be a darn good reason for me to put my dog through surgery (along with the risks of something going wrong). With my dogs, there were no medical reasons to neuter, and long term health benefits are inconclusive at best, as far as I can see. I believe that normal...

    Baby Miles - good news and better news

    If one goes out early enough and far enough - he will find good and even better news! Such a pleasure to see Baby Miles running and playing with other dogs. A very good morning today.

    Buying a new puppy

    I think that once this is over, and people go back to work and kids back to school - we'll see lots of returned puppies, or neglected in their homes. Not sure whether this will have impact on prices. For now, rising prices I hope prevent at least some mistakes from being made by folks who want...

    Baby Miles loves his car :-)

    Parks are starting to reopen, but there are lots of people who have been waiting for opportunities to get out of their homes, which means off leash running is very limited. Which is horrible for a 16 m.o. Ridgeback. Good thing we have the car he can chase in the back yard, it really saves the...

    Staggered at the price of a pup

    I suppose it's probably true that high pricing deters some potentially good dog owners... On the other hand, it may force some soul searching before getting a puppy, and deter some who do not put enough thought into what kind of commitment is really required, for many years. The more money one...

    Staggered at the price of a pup

    Still a very small amount compared to the costs of ownership over the lifespan, isn’t it?

    Heartbroken

    In my case - it was about 3 months, and I think it worked well, the puppy came to a happier home.
