Chaser, a Border Collie, knows 1,022 words! That’s an awful lot, especially considering the limits of human vocabulary and common useage! (Read the full article, and how they trained Chaser with a clicker here)
How many words does your dog know? Do you think you could train your dog like they did Chaser?

I loved watching ‘Babe’. Sure, it’s a children’s movie, but it was a fun, sweet story, with fantastic border collies!

This is a fantastic run! Over before you know it, though! I thought we should start out the new year right, with a good video of a great run.
May all your runs be Q’s, and if they’re not, may you learn from them.

Merry Christmas, everybody!
In our busy lives, it’s too easy to just hustle and bustle the holidays away. Don’t let the stress and excitement of the holidays rev you up so high you can’t sit back with your favorite warm beverage and dog (s!) and enjoy the warm feelings that only Christmas – or a good hug to your dog – really brings. Excitement is great, but don’t lose your focus, and don’t stress out.
Relax. Give the gift of a not-stressed-out- you to your family, and your dog. Your dog will thank you, and happily snore under your feet, or play a quick game of target or a round with their IQ game.
Make memories. Perfect memories happen naturally. The most perfect Christmas memory I have is being up before everyone and sitting with my old dog, a Great Pyrenees, watching the ornaments on the tree sparkle. It was peaceful, and Pal was the best backrest ever.
Merry Christmas, one and all.

I know my least favorite chore related to being a responsible pet owner- it’s poop scooping. I have two very large dogs, and they leave piles appropriately sized in the yard. As distasteful as I find this chore, I do it anyway, especially when we are out walking, because leaving the poop there is just very irresponsible! Recently I found an article on the internet about poop- and using a dog park’s methane output to make a light!
That’s really, really neat. I wouldn’t even mind picking up if I could do something that cool with it. Can you imagine apartment complexes having a unit like that for dog and kitty waste? (you would have to use biodegradable kitty litter, but that isn’t very hard to come by any more). It’s a ‘cool’ way to get people to WANT to clean up after their dog, and I think it’s one of the neatest ideas I’ve seen in a while!
