Letters from the Front Line:
Christopher: Turning the tables? Heh. The spotlight is on Dalmatians and your Hitler comments don’t change anything about that given that the breeding scheme you support fits that label incredibly well. And no, anyone who breeds a...
Pixie: Thank you so much for giving me the exact response I had hoped for. Made me smile ear to ear! And, far the record, anyone who breeds a purebred dog is breeding for racial purity, including yourself and your border collies. So...
UrbanCollieChick!: Great. Make me cry why don’t you.
Nora: This is really a lovely story. From the picture, Bongo looks like a small (and pretty hairy) Border Collie. How big was he do you think?
Cocopelli: I like this post very much, well written, humorous and touching. Good job!
Jess: That’s a lovely story, Christopher, thanks for sharing it.
Erin: I want my own ashes spread on the trails I hike everyday with my dogs. I have their ashes and hope we will all be cast to the wind together one day. Silly sentiment I guess but it works for me. Hope all is well Chris. Just...
Raegan: Katz had two elderly Labradors and replaced them with a young Border Collie known to have behavior problems, and is stunned to discover the dog is not satisfied being a piece of office furniture.
Nora: I’ll have to read it, but from my experience with rescues, fosters, and volunteering at shelters, I have always thought that rescues of any breed are not special flowers, for the most part (obviously dogs that have been...
Christopher: Others will be happy to inform you of all the things he did wrong with the dog. My unique take on the issue is that he got two if those dogs from the same breeder who is here in Colorado. The sort of things you learn...
Kathy Bittorf: Chris like you reading up on OCD The frequent upsetting thoughts are called obsessions. To try to control them, a person will feel an overwhelming urge to repeat certain rituals or behaviors called compulsions. People...

- The Truth about Heartworm June 18, 2013It’s that time of year in this region of Canada; the time when every rescue/shelter/pet parent starts sharing a photo like the one above on social media. The caption will usually read something along the lines of, “Heartworm is deadly to your dog. Make sure to have year-round protection!” I cringe every time I see […] […]pennypup

- I haven’t earned any money from breeding. June 18, 2013Many readers know I am a breeder of Border Terriers. It’s hard to believe, but I haven’t made any money from dog breeding. Here’s a detailed list of expenses and income that I’ve made from dog breeding, as was accurate at the end of my 2012 litter. I am posting this just to illustrate the price of ethical breeding from someone who partakes in a number of d […]Leema
- Ugh June 18, 2013Conker is having digestive issues again. Right when I was settling into him having a regular(ish) system it goes all whack on me again. This time though, he's not only got nastyass mucus shit, but there was blood in it. That is a first for Conker, and it worries me greatly to have seen that.Anywho...This is also new.Conker walks (quickly) around with hi […]Losech

- Clapton's Guns June 17, 2013Apparently Eric Clapton has commissioned and sold more guns than I have (and each and every one was probably worth more than my house). Many articles out there, a few by gunnies, some by folks horrified he would buy guns at all, some just concerned with auction prices. I assume we can all use Google, though I found fewer pix than I had hoped. One of the bet […]Steve Bodio
