NewBorns!!!!!

In his other litter with the English Bulldog... He had a brindle in that one too. So we figure it comes from Zues. The English Bulldog only had two pups. But they are huge!!! Less than 2 weeks and already the size of a 2 liter bottle. Jayda's litter ((the pitbull)) Has some unique markings. Ill take picture… Continue

Ricco bites!

I THINK NOT!!!! Let's just start with a Big, FAT GGGggggrrrrr...... :) Today was a normal day for my family. This evening we had planned on attending our small town, Fourth of July fireworks event.

We pull up to the curb and parked beside the sidewalk along with other cars. The boys are getting excited as they… Continue

Puppy Classes

Had noooo idea there was a blog feature on this- not that I NEED a reason to endlessly ramble about Jane everything :) Last night we had our second puppy class- of course, I was almost 30 minutes late, and the class was pretty-much over by the time we got there, but fortunately there was another woman who'd made a similar mistake and the trainer was sweet enough to hold another class for the two of us. We basically went over walking (I think Jane's going to get a new harness after we practiced… Continue

We just adopoted a deaf GREAT DANE

Hey everyone. Just an update. We just adopted a great dane saturday. He's a 4 year old, blue-eyed, harlequin. And yes, he is deaf. He's about 125 lbs, small for a male dane. He is super smart because he is deaf he has no choice but to rely on his vision to communicate. He is house trained and responds to sign language for sit, stay, no, come commands. It's amazing. I grew up with Danes; for my parents bred them, but never experienced being around a deaf dane or a deaf dog of any kind for that ma… Continue

Good afternoon everyone!! I am looking to adopt a MUTT!! I absolutely love mutts and have grown up around a lab/flat coated retriever mix that I absolutely adore.

Transport

Well, this has been the first transport I have done in ages. These high gas prices are really pinching everyone, and making it very difficult for ANY rescue to get these dogs to new, safe, loving homes. But, with a lot of determination we did it again! This special pup was an English Pointer named "Paul". He was 2 hours from being gassed to death in a high kill shelter in St. Pauls, NC. He was pulled, vetted and on his way to CT! I took him from Gastonia to Asheville. He was such a good boy, and… Continue

Zen and the Art of Dog Walking Pt. 1

I've been walking dogs daily for two years. Sometimes they are my dogs, most times they aren't. And when you walk four or five different dogs per day, you learn to have fun with it. You also learn, mostly from the dogs. I am always looking for ways to mix up my dog walking. I don't want it to ever become monotonous, boring, or look at like a task. So every few days, I'll share my routines. Here's part one. Letting the World Go This happens to be one of my favorites, especially when I ha… Continue
