I forgot how long dapping takes. I have completed the two spare rooms, part of the upstairs hallway, and part of the master bedroom. My dad is coming out to help with projects on Monday and I would really like to have all the dapping and taping of baseboards done by then so we can [...]
Bosco and I started our Intermediate Clicker Training class tonight. It’s another six week course taught by Dana that builds on the skills we learned in the Beginner class. I wasn’t sure if I was going to sign up for the set but Bosco has such fun training and it’s allowing us to bond even [...]
The First Week: Sit Happens Day Two Again I worked Bosco first with Maia in a down-stay, but I am wondering if it would be better to do it the other way around, as perhaps Bosco will be able to hold his down-stay better if he is not already amped up from training. He was [...]
One of my resolutions this year was to take Bosco through the 6 week training program in Pat Miller’s book, The Power of Positive Dog Training. I have decided to document my progress here on the blog. The First Week: Sit Happens Day One Core exercises: Charging the Clicker: already done for both Maia and [...]
It is not yet 8 o’clock on New Year’s Eve and I am contemplating going to bed. Although I am currently amused by Maia trying so hard to get Bosco to play with her that she stole his chewie right out of his mouth, wanting him to chase her, and all he did was lie [...]

Dad and I took Bosco and Maia up to the dyke today, to the loop. At the half-way point we met up with a lady with two whippets. They were so darling! And so fast! She told us that whippets are not allowed to be raced for money (thankfully) but she races them both for [...]
Mike and I decided to have a relaxing time this Christmas, so we ordered dinner from his catering company that does individual sized turkey dinners and we hung out with my two dogs and his ex-boyfriend’s Doberman that he is looking after for a few days. We watched movies and ate a lot and hung [...]
What a looooong day. I got up at 330 am, was out of the house by 415 and started work at 430. Got off at 1245; let the dogs out briefly, then back in the car to help transport four dogs from Chilliwack Animal Shelter to Vancouver Animal Shelter. It was an hour’s drive to [...]
Open letter to Bosco’s former family: I don’t know anything about you. You could have been a man or a woman, a single person or a family with kids. You could have given Bosco up because of love or indifference – I don’t know and I will never know. What I do know is that [...]
