OOhhh- Buggles, crap, hate to say this, but he needs to be tested for Fanconi's syndrome if he's not been already. What kind of food has he been eating/what kind now? To forestall Fanconi's it needs to be BilJac or Nutro, or something equivalent... Poor guy, dammit, you'd have to be all the way out there in UT... At least, if you can, do some checking into whether the dog's doing OK and is just skinny (my Loki always was, he lasted 17 and 1/2 years) or, not... | ||

I havent had a dog in decades - one of the downfalls of a transient temporary sporatic life. I do miss my 'Bosko' though. Shepard, Collie mix; had to be put down when he went after a bully that wouldnt knock it the hell off. | ||

Awww- Mark, good on ya! Looks like a great addition! Pardon me for sayin, but it just popped in my head- got one of those "doggie doolie" things yet? (Your backyard sure looks nice...)  One thing I always loved and appreciated about my Loki was that when he had to take a dump, he'd always look for a place way out of the way, maybe even behind the bushes or something- he just never wanted to drop a load out in the open. Even when we went to the wide open park, he's find the brushline and go there. Buggles, just curious- does your Basenji work that way? | ||

love bully breeds! good looking dogs. Seems like mine who always ends up tumbling or landing on his side - not graceful, but funny! camera - increase your ISO (will speed up your shutter to avoid blur). If you have a DSLR you can change your aperture or set your shutter speed faster to avoid the motion blur. increasing ISO will do this at the cost of some addition noise or "grain" in the picture. For a cloudy day - i'd start at ISO 400 and adjust from there. HTH and congrats! | ||

and here's my(our) pup Sampson:  He was a foster we couldn't let go of. His coloring has changed a bit (about a year old here), but an amazing dog! | ||

Meet Kawai. She belongs to Jerry and Kathleen. The doggles are necessary for the blowing sand out in Octillo Wells. I was hoping to get a photo of her in her pink helmet but she was not going to cooperate when I had the camera out. Oh well, she is still a damn cute dog. I miss that place... Jerry almost talked me into heading out to California... bummer I cant go!    | ||

We're working on; 'Doogle, find my bike keys.' he's getting it too. | ||
| Milt |
So that's Bandit. He looks full of love and fun. | ||

I "aquired" a new dog this weekend. I was headed to Best Buy from the interstate and was coming off the exit Ramp of I275 and caught some movement out of the corner of my eye as I got on the surface street. I thought it was a squirrel at first and tapped my brakes cause everyone knows what a sad sense of direction that squirrels have. Well this thing was darting all over 4 lanes of traffic. I saw it was a dog(very small) and slammed on my brakes. I opened my door and tried to coax the little thing into the car as the traffic was starting to get heavy. She ran to me at first then darted back into traffic. I pulled my car into the lane and put my door into the other lane. I jumped out of the car and stopped the traffic coming from the other direction. Now I am blocking 4 lanes of pretty pissed off drivers. The dog was headed onto the interstate and in front of a truck hauling granite. I screamed as loud as I could to startle the dog and she stopped in her tracks...she turned around after another couple got out of their vehicle and for some reason she ran to me like a bat outta hell. I searched several neighborhoods in the area and the lost pet organizations for a couple of days now. Looks like she may have found a home with my brood. She makes 4 dogs at my house (and work) and I also have 2 cats (I found a home for the other 2). She looks like a 5 lb Rottweiler and has a typical small dog attitude. She is relaxing in my office chair right now. The search continues, but we feel that someone may have accidently/on purpose let her out of a car in that area. | ||

Hide and Seek is one of Darrell's favorite exercises, whether in the back yard, or inside. Yellow objects work well for sight IDing, as dogs can make out the color yellow, supposedly blue too. He's to the point now that whatever I show him before closing the door to the closet where he "hides", he'll seek it out almost without fail. The only thing is that he'll cheat if he has a chance to do so. Caught him peaking out the window at me while I was hiding his ball in the back yard. Punk! LOL. Later after what seemed like much too impressive results, I realized he was following my scent trail to the hidden object, so had to start including a walk-about as part of my hiding efforts in order to add to the challenge. "Football. Go seek." ...  What is it Darrell?  Did you find it? "Rowwwrrrrruff!" Where is it?  ARF! (Dog-speak for "right there you blind idiot!")  Great fun was rubbing the ball against a cabinet door to impart its scent and then hiding it just inside. He'll now bark to have me open doors so he can inspect for possible hides. He's one of the most vocal dogs I've known. Some days it seems that I have better conversations with Darrell than with human beings.  (Message edited by blake on July 06, 2011) | ||
