Living with Labrador Retrievers, the joys and tribulations of living, loving and training dogs
This blog is a tribute to Belle, and all the dogs who have come before and after. They are my friends, my companions, my teachers and my students. They bring me both joy and heartache, laughter and tears. There is nothing as sweet as the smell of puppy breathe, and nothing as sad as the final goodbye.

Home Cooking For Your Dog (and cat)
I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by author Christine Filardi last night. If you are concerned about the foods you are feeding your dogs and cats then I highly recommend attending one of her lectures. She shares important information on home cooking/raw diets vs store bought pet food. She does a great job explaining nutritional requirements and her meals are simple and quite do-able.

In a holy place,
So is the beauty,
Of an agd face."

Another gem from the terrierman.com blog ~
To Tell The Truth
The lady holding back the Borzois is is Kitty Carlisle, aka Kitty Carlisle Hart, who was born on September 3, 1910 – and died on April 17, 2007 at the age of 96.
Kitty Carlisle was a regular panelist on the television game show To Tell the Truth, where she provided a great deal of over-the-top cultural grace to her panelist duties. She seemed rich and cultured because she actually was rich and cultured. Married to playwright and director Moss Hart, she herself was a singer, actress and spokeswoman for the arts. She was was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame, served for 20 years on the New York State Council on the Arts, and received the National Medal of Arts from President George H. W. Bush in 1991. Oddly enough, her Jewish grandfather had been a Confederate gunner on the iron-clad Virginia (formerly the Merrimack), which fought the iron-clad Monitor!

Did she just say “lunch?”
Should I beg?
Sure love to munch.
Bowls and bones bring bliss.

No excuses, this is what is needed.
To do otherwise is morally
wrong and unethical.

Training with treats
Training tip:
It is important to eventually eliminate the treat as a visible lure. Do, however, continue to use them on an intermittent schedule. Your dog works harder not knowing when he will be treated and you don't develop a dependency on treats as a training tool.
Warrior
You were a
warrior in your past life! You're strong, determined, dedicated, and willing to
sacrifice for what you believe in. Your past life was very difficult and full
of struggle, but you were incredibly courageous and achieved a great deal.
There's a fire within you that will take you far in life. You may have had some
rough patches already in this life, but rely on your inner warrior because
nothing can stop
