So many things to write about that I almost don’t know where to begin. We went to our first away trial with CPE in Eureka a few weeks ago and it was awesome. I packed so much stuff for my dog that I actually had to give up my purse for a more practical bag that...

Never before, during my almost 30 years as a veterinarian, have I encountered such rapid and profound changes in client expectations. We’ve entered what I like to refer to as “The Age of the Empowered Client”. I’d love to believe that this is a result of so many...

Hello everyone,
I can imagine that a lot of you thought that I may have dropped off the doggy hemisphere.
Not the case. I have been on a vacation of sorts. Relaxing in the summer sun and trying to figure out how my neighborhood suddenly turned into nightmare on elm street. ...

Oh how I love dog agility. If I'm not learning a new game, I'm learning something new about myself or my dog. This weekend at CPE was no different. I played some new games with Jager, like Full house or wild card, but when I tried Jackpot, I sucked. I guess switching up my game plan seconds...
