Like Pam,...I'm glad you remembered your blood test. Like Pam, I thought about emailing you and then I forgot. 8-)<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with your philosophy on dog-rearing. So many people get dogs, don't bother to train or socialize them, and then get rid of them because they're destructive or spaz out when people come over or can't quite get the hang of housebreaking - any number of stupid reasons that are NOT the dog's fault, but the owners! I get so angry about that.<BR/><BR/>Our house is unapologetically pet-oriented, and people who can't deal with dog/cat fur don't last long. I have a dog trainer friend who is totally amazed that my dogs are not crated when we leave the house. We keep crates for feeding time (so the Chihuahua doesn't steal the Shepherd's food) or when someone needs confining because they're injured, but everybody has full run of the house the rest of the time. They're happy and we are, too. I live by a very strict rule: If my animals don't like someone or react strangely to them, that person does not come back. The one time I backed off that rule, I got robbed, so I definitely pay attention to how they act around visitors. Although I occasionally gripe about the vacuuming and sweeping up pet hair tumbleweeds, the joy our furry pals bring us is well worth the grunge work.knitwychhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568956616014771625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-85213190802837811642009-02-27T05:16:00.000+00:002009-02-27T05:16:00.000+00:00I'm glad to hear your comment about your dogs not ...I'm glad to hear your comment about your dogs not being little lap dogs. I get that comment that people can't believe that Madison is a poodle. As if all poodles are frou-frou little dogs. They were hunting dogs and she knows she's a dog. She's a good little athelete and loves to run agility.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864486239094681293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-42370720154821348182009-02-26T21:28:00.000+00:002009-02-26T21:28:00.000+00:00Hi ColinI did think about reminding you about your...Hi Colin<BR/>I did think about reminding you about your blood test then I forgot LOL<BR/><BR/>My memory sounds as good as yours<BR/><BR/>Pam xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-66200375160422376372009-02-26T21:17:00.000+00:002009-02-26T21:17:00.000+00:00I am really pleased to see what you have written a...I am really pleased to see what you have written about your dogs. I'm sure it must be noticable when you show them, too, as a happy dog, living a proper doggy life, must have much more to offer a judge. I love seeing the pictures of your dogs, they are so sweet.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937022787075485707noreply@blogger.com
