Mean Kitty Snuggles on Wordless Wednesday

Lilly is our resident "Mean Kitty". She is just not a very tolerant cat. She wants to do what she wants to do and if you have a different idea she doesn't like it. She will often sass me and slap me if I make her mad somehow. The dogs are very scared of her.

Snuggles on Sepia Saturday

I love it when I catch these two snuggling!

Being an Outstanding Breed Ambassador - Positive Pet Training Blog Hop

Zoe and Phoenix, settled on their mat at a Cafe. Zoe says, "Hey! I think I smell burgers!"

Today we are joining the Positive Pet Training Blog Hop. This month's theme is: "Being an Outstanding Breed Ambassador through Positive Training and Socialization." My dogs are obviously not purebred dogs but I do take being just a regular dog ambassador very seriously.

Posing on the Granite - Sepia Saturday

I just love this picture. It's from our favorite hiking spot by Wrights Lake. There are huge slabs of granite to explore out there. The girls love it!

I will NOT get wet!!

Phoenix generally does not like going into the water. If she can't see the bottom she definitely won't go. Luckily this river is very clear!

Wordless Wednesday!

Zoe's Birthday Hiking trip!

For Zoe's Gotcha Birthday, we took her and Phoenix to Wrights Lake for a hiking trip! I absolutely love this area. It's "Desolation Wilderness" in the west from Lake Tahoe.

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day to Zoe and B&W Sunday

I really can't believe it's been 3 years since I got my baby girl. Zoe is the dog that completely changed my life and the way I view dogs and training. It's hard to imagine that three years ago today I was begging my husband to go with me to "just look at the dogs." I felt like I was the only groomer in the salon without a dog of my own and I desperately wanted one.

 This is her Gotcha/Birthday Movie!

TBT - Spring in Oregon

One of the things I miss most about living in Oregon happens to be this park and this grass field. It was gorgeous.
