Beautiful Weather

  It's been absolutely beautiful here in Austin, Texas for the last few days. Mostly because of the amazing glorious rain, and secondly because of the much cooler weather. This morning I had to wear a sweater outside!! Of course, 70 degrees is practically winter to us Texans.

Canine Pneumonia ......? Part II

  That weekend was one of the longest of my life while I anxiously awaited the arrival of the test results, and watched my pup suffer the effects of whatever was attacking his immune system. Monday took forever to arrive. And even then the results weren't available until nearly 5pm!

Canine Pneumonia ..... ? Part I

   It was Friday morning the 18th around 10am when I noticed something was terribly wrong with my 2 year old Australian Shepherd, Roque. I didn't even need to take his temperature, or check his gums, or listen to his lungs to know something was very very wrong. It was all in his eyes.

Temporary Heaven & Blog Milestones

   After a couple weeks of packing we have finally moved to our new temporary home.. Though temporary, it is a welcome change from the three plus years of apartment life. We've only been here for less than a week, and I'm so excited about the future time here!

BAD DOG - Part II - Jumping

   Anyone who has met my dogs knows that they have a few issues... just like everyone's dogs. Yes, I'm a "dog trainer", but my dogs are not perfect. It's just like the parents that write books about raising children. They may have excellent ideas and theories, their children may be very happy overall. But if you spent a day or two in their home you would soon realize that they were only human and their children were only human. I'll be the first to admit, I am only human and my dogs are only dogs.

Loving Horses

  
    Growing up loving horses is as much fun as it is good for the soul. There is just something about being involved with horses that is just so addicting, that no matter how much money you have to spend or how much poop you have to shovel, you can't get enough.

Sunny Day at RiverCliff

   
     Finally the grass is starting to come back, the sun was out, the temperature was perfect. It was a gorgeous day and I couldn't help myself. I packed up baby, paws and me and headed out to the ranch.
