Tips for the Unthinkable

As some of you know, Kyla had a bad experience a while ago with neighborhood dog that had gotten loose. It was extremely scary, and I didn’t know any of these little tricks at the time. So when I saw this post today, I knew I had to share it with everyone.

april - good info to know! so glad that kyla is ok after that terrifying experience!!

mom - my blocking tool was keeping the post from opening..got it fixed. good tips to know

claire - thanks for sharing! it's such a nightmare to think about (and was certainly a nightmare for you and kyla!), but definitely smart o be prepared and have a good understanding of dog behavior in the first place

melissa - Click on "this post" in the text above. To read about Kyla's incident, click on "bad experience." All my links are in green text.

mom - what post?

Wanna know what Kyla thinks?

She just started her own twitter account! Follow her quirky thoughts: http://twitter.com/kylarawlings

Rachel - That's so fun! I'm going to see what she is thinking right now. :)

Mine or Hers?

Got a new white rug for my bathroom the other day.

Or is it Blue’s new rug? I never can tell…

In a perfect world…

…every home would have a shelter pet and every shelter pet would have a home.

Below is today’s flyer from the Edmond Animal Shelter here in Oklahoma. Looks like there are some beautiful dogs looking for their forever home – and don’t forget the kitties! Click here to view all animals that are up for adoption as of today.

It’s these faces that make me love what I do.

She cleans the food bowl after slurping up her water. So efficient.

Nicole - love love love love love this series! I always love watching dogs drink-- how their tongues go up backwards like a reverse little ladle. Fabulous work!

Wendy - I love the first picture of just her legs. And my dog Coulee does the same thing with her food bowl - she takes a drink, drools a bit of water into her food bowl and then cleans it up! Gotta get every last morsel of flavour out!

My New Bling

I got a leash to match, too.
