You have indeed had a life-changing and life-renewing time over the past year and a half. It's a whole new game and it looks like you've made for yourself a wonderful start! :)Quote:

Cute doggie too! What's her name?
Some of the rest of us are waiting for spring, and some of us are just plain slackers or whimps and have no excuse for not riding. :o
Her name is Bailey. She is now best buddies with my partner's "Bindie" a Jack Russell/Sheltie mix. The cats are not so thrilled, but they are adjusting. :)
Bailey is gorgeous!:)
I think I may have figured out what Shiloh is mixed with--English Setter. Border Collie and English Setter. I'm not very familiar with English Setters, but upon looking up the breed it makes sense. It would explain the spots, the pointing and the ears--border collie ears with English Setter fringe.
I think you should add Briard to the mix. ;) You're Shiloh is quite fetching! I could watch her all day.
Or Chesapeake Bay Retriever ;)
Tulip, is that your wood floor? It's purdy.
I managed to catch Indy lounging in the sunlight yesterday... hold on to your cute-meters:
That's so cute... the elvis look!
Hehehe... I got the tail end of a yawn for that one
Or...**** Cheney! :eek:Quote:

I love pets snoozing in the sun pictures. :p
P.S Too funny- the forum robot bleeped out Cheney's first name!- it must have registered 3.7 on the Gag-O-meter!
Invsblwmn, Bailey and Bindie are lovely. Good luck with Bailey -- she's already lucky to be in your home.
Tulip, I love seeing Shiloh. Any progress with the reactiveness? I ask because I had a scared-of-lots-of-stuff rescue bulldog, and I love hearing stories of dogs finding their confidence.
Andrea, that's a great shot of Indy. We call those "sun puddles" and Lloyd seeks his out every morning.

We're still friends? Right?
Smurf, those are a great series of photos!
Shiloh's doing MUCH better. We've been working with a trainer and I've learned so much. He no longer balks when we're walking. He used to decide that he wanted to go THAT way and would put on the brakes not not budge. He would do that, too, when he heard children, and refused to go down streets with children, even if the children were not out--he remembers where they were.
But now he jauntily walks at my side (he's gotten alot better on the leash, too). He's still shy of people, and when we pass groups of kids waiting for the schoolbus he perks up his ears and watches them but he keeps walking. So do I, which is key. He's so interesting looking that people want to pet him. As I've gotten more confident with him, he's gotten more confident with me. I think he's starting to trust me, so he meets people when I say it's okay. He even wagged his tail when we met one of the neighborhood kids the other day.
He's also better at meeting dogs on a leash, but we're not at the point of doing that too much. He's fine with them while off leash. The trainer suggested a 15-foot leash to allow them plenty of maneuverability while meeting other dogs. It works well.
Shiloh is a cutie. How about a German Shorthaired Pointer or a Wirehaired Pointer? They have that color pattern.Quote:
