I've never liked the "owner" term. Maybe it's my Native American influences but It makes no sense to me that I can "own" a living being. "Guardian" is more appropriate...IMO.
But I know I'm odd in many of my non-traditional beliefs and don't like pushing my beliefs on others. I never understood women changing their last name once they get married. It reminds me of slavery. Slave weren't allowed to have last names of their own...they took the last name of their "master." When they were sold...their last name changed to the new "owners" last name. Creepy, arrogant, possessive, controlling...IMO |  |  |  |  |

Sonja had her follow up with our vet. Her liver enzymes are still elevated. She's going to have x-rays and an ultra sound to see check thing out. She's eating and still playing normally so hope for the best.
Tomorrow is the last day of PAWS to Read. I'm taking Jasper with his mohawk...the kids have been asking to see him. Sonja is their usual Read Dog...but I take Jasper once in a while as Sonja LOVES kids. Jasper is good with them but Sonja is solid when it comes to crowds of kids around her...Jasper can get a little stressed...which means I just need to do more crowd control than I like.
Had my teeth cleaned today All is well. |  |  |  |  |

Hubby and I went to a birthday party of a friend....got to bring the kids so it was basically a big play date for the dogs of our Agility friends.
Ty - I haven't seen "A Bronx Tale" I'll have to put it on our list. I just finished watching a PBS Documentary called the "Central Park 5." The true story of 5 young men wrongly accused of the Central Park Jogger rape and assault. Very dis-heartening. So now I'm watching re-runs of "Friends."
I should know better than to watch true stories with that kind of depth right before bed. |  |  |  |  |

Spring is here...for a little while anyway. Been enjoying working outside and getting some projects done. Hubby and I fixed up an old utility trailer. Only thing left on it is a good paint job. Its working for Hubby today at a Bannock Bark Parks project
All my plants are starting to bloom and I can see where I want new stuff to go in. I cleaned out our 5th wheel so its all ready to go next weekend to another Agility Trial.
Did I tell you I got Sonja, Sumo and Scarlett's teeth cleaned at the last Dog show. Found a lady from Canada who has the equivalent of a PA for animals...her specialty is dental hygiene. She doesn't have to put them under to clean teeth. She wraps them in a towel, puts them between her legs and starts to scale the plaque off...then polishes and shes done. The dogs just lay there...no struggling or fussing...and believe me...if Scarlett didn't struggle...she can clean any dogs teeth.
Their teeth look like a very young dogs new adult teeth! I spent $130.00 for all three dogs. We requested to be put on her email and which shows she'll be at so we can get Jasper and Hersh done as well (I started with the dogs that had the worst plaque).
I love that they don't have to have to be put under for this!!!!!
Well, another beautiful day here. On to get chores and errands done.
Stay safe my friends      |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Tue May 7, '13 7:37pm PST |  |  |  |  | We just returned from South Jordan, Utah from an Agility Trial. Beautiful weather! Cold mornings but turned very nice during the days.
Jasper only had one qualifying run all weekend. He was running sluggishly. Not sure why?
I won a few things in the raffles...an exercise ball for dogs. I'm going to use it with Sonja to strengthen her back legs. Being 12 years old...she's having some muscle wasting. I also won a beautiful 4x7 blanket. It feels like mink on one side (it's not) and silk on the other.
Now that we're home...it's cold and rainy. I was able to get poo patrol done before it got too nasty out.
OK...today was PAWS to Read...one of the little boys came into class and complained one of the girls "assaulted" him. (mind you...these are second graders). The teacher brings in the girl to hear her side. The girl says, "He was in my space. I told him to get back and he wouldn't so I gave him a nipple crippler."    |  |  |  |  |

Sonja and I had PAWS to Read today. One little girl read a book that was about learning how to vote for presidents. The teacher (in the book) was showing pictures of all the past Presidents. The girl says, "look, no girls! Can you believe it!?" AWESOME! |  |  |  |  |

Take care Flicka
I worked more in the yard today. Temps are nice but the wind has been horrible today. I had to secure my hat strap so it wouldn't blow off. I'm getting lots of ideas for planting
Those of you who foster      I have 5 poodles because I was a foster failure.  Or a foster success depending on how you look at it 
Nicky - I laughed when I read your post on guinea pig poop. One of the vets here in town says farm dogs have cleaner teeth than city dogs because they eat horse apples. I'm betting their breath isn't better.   |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Sun Apr 28, '13 3:39pm PST |  |  |  |  | Ok...so you know that Standard Poodles (poodles in general) are freakishly smart... well we had NO idea how true this was until one agility run.
Sonja was off to a great start...until she got to the weave poles. She decided she wanted to mosey through them. Hubby was trying every trick in the book to get her rev'd up again. Finally he said, "can you GO any slower?"
At that moment, Sonja stepped out of the poles and stopped...looked at hubby as if to say, "yes, how's this."  And that WAS it...she was done.
Moral of the story....NEVER underestimate the wit of a Poodle.  |  |  |  |  |
