I have been many times, with many different dogs. 🙂 CayĂ‚Â pays goodĂ‚Â attention to me, probably because she would be scared in that situation without me, her known entity. She walks well on leash, heels well […]

It was fun to meet Christina and her family. They showed me a video of some of their disc dog routines, which were fun to watch. Their cat taught Bandit respect by bopping him on the head with a paw through the dog door when he was walking down the hall. He didn’t even know […]

On Saturday we met the dog owner from hell. I stopped at a rest stop in eastern Ohio and was accosted by a huge friendly yellow lab while on my way to use the restroom. He came barreling down the hill from the picnic area (which was posted “No Pets”) and ran right toward me. […]
