    Welcome Hans

  • The song on the “Memorials” tab..? That can be loaded on to a Memory Vessel, along with my favorite pet pictures! How meaningful and nice.

    Oh my…Get out the tissues.. I am so moved. There is not one pet I do not think of of, from my first “Tiger” to the second, Cricket, Moses, Prince, Chivo, Tommy, Squirt, Wolf..All of my Loves. What a lovely song to remember them with. Thank you.

    Bella! You live up to your name – beautiful…inside and out ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • She is a very sweet and loving dog – and still a puppy at heart too. The most kissed and loved dog ever! (at least from me!)

    I worked a lot with Shey when she was a puppy. I had her trained to do a lot of things and used treats and praise. As she got older, I didn’t keep up on it so she forgot a lot of it..and I understand now why she didn’t “give paw” anymore…I wouldn’t want to lift up one of my legs if I couldn’t depend on the others either ๐Ÿ˜‰

    With Tidbit, I have tried a few different ways to teach her things but she doesn’t seem to interested. I have tried several times over the years to teach her to play and she doesn’t really take to toys or balls.

    Yes, and it usually has a double gate. So open the first gate into a small pen and close it after you before you open the next gate to the park area. This keeps dogs from rushing out and getting away.

    You might start off by keeping him leashed and do a couple laps around the park before you let him off lead. That will help him to be comfortable with his surroundings a little more. And treats!

  • How do you all teach your pets new tricks?

    • I wish I had more time to teach Benny more tricks but I’ve used treats as encouragement in the past. How about you?

      • Thanks Cody. I’ve been trying to offer a reward and it seems to work. They make Dried Liver treats that seriously are the most delicious things for him…..he will do just about any trick haha…i think it’s just repeating maybe?

    That is awesome! Send some pictures of you cruising with her!

    Cody I have taken Satchmo to a Dog park near me quite often. They are so fun…..ours has a smaller fenced area for smaller dogs and the ability to go in with the big Dogs if he wishes……good to have the option especially if he’s not used to being chased by some big ones! I bet he will love it though…..

    • Sounds so fun!!! So basically a typical dog park is a fenced in area where they can be unleashed?

      • Yes, and it usually has a double gate. So open the first gate into a small pen and close it after you before you open the next gate to the park area. This keeps dogs from rushing out and getting away.

    You can get them on Amazon or any place that sells motorcycle luggage/saddle bags. This one is made by Saddleman.

  • Melissa posted a new activity comment 11 years, 8 months ago

    They are a lot of fun. I only ever had one problem with a chow going after my husky. The dogs are pretty social and they play pretty well together. It’s hilarious…but it’s a lot like taking your kid to the playground. Keep a watchful eye for your dog’s comfort level and signs of them not feeling safe or overwhelmed by all the other dogs there. Good dog parks will have two areas – one for large dogs and one for small dogs.

    • Thanks for the heads up. Benny sometimes gets “excited” when he sees other dogs (depends on the dog – some he’s fine with right away, others he barks at) but calms down after a little bit… Kind of makes me nervous – just don’t know how to ease into letting him roam around at a dog park. Fingers crossed it goes well once it warms up more.

    Speaking of Miss Tidbit…I have a pet carrier for my motorcycle now! My sweetie got it for me on my birthday. Now she can go riding with me! I’m so excited for warm weather to show up! ๐Ÿ™‚

    So for the most part, even though I miss my beautiful Shey, I know that she is no longer in pain or confused about what’s going on with her. I take comfort in that. My little Tidbit is getting tons of love and cuddles and doing very well.

    But I don’t know what to say to my friends who keep sharing pictures of available huskies for adoption. They are each gorgeous, but I know how much work huskies are – especially when they are young! I would not have changed a thing about my Shey, but I’m enjoying having just Tidbit for now.

    Very good news indeed! Hope it gets warmer soon!

  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 11 years, 8 months ago

    Donna, That’s good news. Share your before and after pictures and the information you get to help others with a similar concern. Yes, you poor things have had way too much snow…enough already!
