Love the dog mushing photo Tim! I've got a few at home from the Iditaroad and the Alaska sprint mushing races.....will post one here later.

In the meantime.....here's Bonnie (whom you all know by now <bg>) in her very first dog training class, learning to jump (with all eyes on the treat!). I'm guessing she was about 6 months old in this photo. Now she's almost 4 years old and getting into her advanced agility classes (she dropped out of school for a few years because her "Dad" was too lazy to take her there). Dog agility is so much fun....for both of us.

Thanks Gary. I love the enthusiasm the dogs have for racing. Maggie and I never made it to agility class. It does sound like fun. Dogs rule!

Iditarod sled dog team during the Anchorage "ceremonial start" in 2005. VIPs get a ride in the basket for the run from Anchorage to Eagle River (15 miles). The following day the real start of the race begins out in the Matsu valley (exact location depends on snow conditions) for the long race to Nome. These are some very hard working and tough dogs and they do love to run!

Diane B -- there was a team of full size poodles running in the sled dog races up here about 15 years ago. I think the owner even ran them in the Iditarod at least once. As you say....they are athletic dogs! Actually, I don't think their coat was suited to the conditions on the Iditarod trail, but otherwise they did well.

This is Schnuffy Wiliiams ... we call her Schnuff for short.

She is a 4 year old Chi that goes with us everywhere ... LA, NYC, Miami, Las Vegas, resorts all over Michigan, etc., etc.

Schnuff has her own pets that she plays with ... Bambi and Kitty.

I took sexy photos of her for her internet dating site. She like walks on the beach at sunset, and candle lit dinners with Free Range Chicken.

Schnuffy has owned us for two years now since we rescued her.

You're crazy!
Here's Caspar in his Billingham Bag:




(apologies if you've seen these elsewhere, he's new though and therefore very exciting.
Born on December 6th.

New puppy my daughter got yesterday. I will have to take some nicer pics but interesting breed of dog. They are called Muggins. A hybrid dog, miniature pincher and a pug. Very small in size 8 weeks old. Will grow to about 10 lbs.

HI Guy
Very cute - have you a way to stop the English Pointer having it for breakfast?
:eek:

Drake looks like a freaking horse next to it. Funnier than heck. He has been very good except when a food dish is around , he lets her know it. They are both in my office sleeping right now, sounds like a good idea myself. LOL

Well, be careful - we thought it was just fine until Caspar pulled Blue's tail when he was asleep - I thought Blue had bitten a bit off judging by the terrible screeching the puppy let out - fortunately it amounted to a two minute limp and then back to normal chaos. The danger is that a simple pat on the back can do real damage.

all the best

What a darling pup. I love the second with Blue--off to see the diary. Nothng cuter than a puppy and this one is both photogenic (what a face) and is having adventures.

Thanks for sharing these.

Diane

Edit: Ah, had to comment on your saying that when Dixie died you decided to stick to one dog LOL. Having done that twice (we often used to have between 2 and 5)--when Ben died and left his younger sib, Kate, we stuck it out for 2 years and added Molly, the brown SP. Then--we lost Kate at 13+ last May and are saying the same. I wonder how long THAT will last LOL.

Ah, look at Emma's face in #19 *smile*.

Yes . . . and look at the puppy's . . . who is the sucker!
Hi Diane
I don't know if you read the blurb about them - I hope we haven't bitten off more then we can chew, they really need training (which we can do) but lots of socialising, and LOTS of exercise.

We're really lucky (touch wood) that Blue is behaving like the perfect uncle. . . he was attacked by two dogs in quick succession a couple of years ago, and had rather resorted to the nuclear option if anyone showed any aggression towards him (two wild cats lasted a very short time when they had a go at him). Fortunately he doesn't seem to think that a mad puppy growling and barking and sinking his teeth into his eyebrow counts as aggression!
Long may it last!
You have more will power than us . . . the trouble is that we egg each other on - I think we've had 5 at one point, but 2 is quite enough!

all the best
