Ours ferociously attack the hose or the vacuum when it is on but show no interest in it at all when it is off.

I wouldn't let a dog near a live lawnmower. I wear eye (and ear) protection when mowing -- people do get injuries -- and our neighbor's lawnmower kicked up a pebble that went through a narrow gap in the fence and shattered a side window on our car. Just a thought.

I wish i could get mine to swim! Hydrotherapy would have helped Lucky, but he is deathly afraid of water. Jumping off things was almost as much fun as ball playing for Lucky! i am almost afraid that as he gets used to the wheels that he will decied he can go off his ramp sideways or something, just for old time sake. When you go to England, if you happen by Manchester, say hi to my friends there! I know that there "are just a few people" residing in Manchester! I sang in a concert choir in college that toured 5 weeks one summer - had a homestay in Manchester among other places, and then the folks I stayed with were touring USA and stayed with me in a homestay! Small world!

you are oh so wise! I have been looking at Sonny again after one of the blogs about what color a pup would be! Our vet is wrong, Sonny does not have a black saddle (sometimes I think he does, but I think I imagine it!) So, he is a sable like you thought! So much for that vet!! You asked about front carts...I think there is such a thing, there has been tale about modifying carts for some of the DM dogs, check out K9 carts when you have the need, I am pretty sure they are the ones doing the fronts

Yes, both are tris! Sonny is mostly sable, but his face is tri - I questioned the vet who called him a tri, because i was not sure if he really was one. I'm with you, I sure would like a merle. As far as septic...not only once, but I caught Lucky, the one in the cart, back at it - he was out of the cart, seal walked back out the hole that was still being filled in and rolled in the side pile and ate more "crunchies"! Luckily he did not fall in. Maybe stinky fish would be better...maybe not. Spent yesterday making diaper covers for Lucky in effort to spare the carpet, dogs with IVDD do hve their problems, but we do love him

I love your comment "if a tri can ever be normal" that is so true! I do love my two, would not trade them for anything, but oh!, they are tris and rescues! Sonny is starting to be with the family (it helps that I filled up the area that he used to go into, so now he doesn't have his "hole" but he his laying out with the family in the evening, or yesterday it was the watching of the septic "fun" from the porch!

Hello, I came to your page by way of Jane's. Your fur children are beautiful! Our first corgi boy was a red and white, bless his soul, and our current 2 are tris. I do think that from the pictures, yours are better mannered!! Our first was very well trained and mannered, but these 2 are rescues and a bit out to lunch, so to speak. I hope you and Jane "hook up" she and I have been commenting back and forth and figure if we ever get together "we will have way too much fun" I envy you getting to meet her. Carol, Lucky and Sonny

Thank you! I am hoping this will work but still need to find out more from the potential owner as to whether or not she will get one of my pups. I am hoping this will work and I would drive 15 hours or so the 1st day get to Rockwell earlier the 2nd day... (she might work...don't know) and then we could head over to your area...sounds like a great stopover and I wish we would have more time but my girlfriends sisiter in law has cancer so it may affect our trip. If it sounds like a go I will let you know and you could give me some motel names? Thanks and I'll let you know more when I do!

We would leave here August 2nd(I hope) and it looks like driving time to Charlotte is 20 hours...that's where I first thought she was from! If it wouldn't be such a quick trip I would bring one of my own dogs along!

Are you near Rockwell??? What a kind offer! Thank-you!

the shedding is better! I think I have stopped for now.. but there is hair here and there every once in a while! hope you guys had fun with your guest tonight!

Thats ok I knew what you ment lol

Thanks for the comment about Tallula, we think she's pretty special. Your boys are some good looking guys.

Hello, we had a great weekend at the lake and are laying around a lot today. Edward rolled in a dead fish so he was super stinky til he got a bath. He likes to swim from the beach and fetch a stick in the water mostly. He is not as skilled as I am when it comes to having a life jacket 0n and mostly just rolls on his side in it...it is quite a site to see. I keep an eye on my Papa at all times and do not like him to take out the boat without me in it...then I just wait on the dock for him to come back. My mom doesn't get in the water as much as my Papa does but she's got some good treats for us when we need them. My family is going to JAX in June and Edward and I will stay home with my Auntie and Uncle and their full grown kids who we also just love to be with. I guess it will be OK but I will miss my family when they are gone. Well, gotta go my eyes are so sleepy today. Hope you had a fun Memorial day weekend!! Gem

Hi!! Your family does sound like they are busy!! We got to ride on the Pontoon yesterday at the lake. I was made for the Pontoon kind of life and make myself comfortable, usually on a nice cushy seat. Ed stays on the floor. I swam around the pontoon this time with my dad. My Mom says it is too cold in the water but it was near 90 here so I thought it felt good. I also like floating around on the tube and having the girls pull me gently around in the water. Ed likes to chase them up and down the beach and play fetch in the water. We are really tired today from our weekend adventure...so we are going to lay around today and be lazy. Good to hear from you. We love Gardening and have been helping our Mom...probably a little too much!!! Gem

Hi guys!! I bet you are busy out on the pontoon this weekend!!! We made our first official trip out on our boat and to the Lake yesterday! Ed and Gem had a great time as did we all. Ed discovered a new game of trying to catch the bats at dusk. He just loved the beach and would just lay down in the water. Gem loved the boat, Ed not too sure of it at first but he warmed up to it pretty quickly! Our water temp is only 64 degrees right now, but they don't seem to mind that as much as we do!!! I think their favorite thing of all was licking all the plates after we were done with our BBQ!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day Laurie!!!!

Thanks!! Ed is having a good b-day!!!

Happy Tails(I mean trails) to you!!!!
