2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

| Claudia, this is Way Cool! Where were the pix taken? Now switch out those shoes for some skis, and you can rodeo! It feels like taking your life in your hands at the start, but after a mile or so they settle down. Mt. Hood only has 16 inches today, but supposedly, we're getting big dumps this week.  |

| We're staying at the Ritz in Bachelor's Gulch, Avon in Colorado - a little staycation for my birthday weekend. The hotel is at the base of one of the ski lifts, and there are residences along the base of the mountain which is what you see in some of the pictures in the background. Since it's early season, and this lift isn't open yet, we have the place almost to ourselves.
We are definitely going to try out skijoring this season!

| Claudia, that looks like so much fun! Looks like the kiddos really had a good time.

I do enjoy snowshoeing! And I think I'll really like skijoring! Did you know you can burn UP TO 800 calories/hour snowshoeing?? Yep! That means I can have a big, fat, juicy burger and fries after showshoeing and not feel guilty!  _________________ |

Yep! That means I can have a big, fat, juicy burger and fries after showshoeing and not feel guilty! I believe it. I wore snowshoes for the first time when we climbed Loge Peak in Aspen this past June. I was whipped!! There are pictures of Aaron struggling with them on my FB page _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Great pics! Mine are so use to skijoring or sledding that I think they would pull me down if I tried to snowshoe with them! |

| I ordered the x-back harnesses from Alpine Outfitters. If you're thinking about getting them, they'll take at least 2 weeks, but now that it's sledding season, you may be waiting a little longer. Other places you can get x-back harnesses are Nordkyn and Adanac Sleds. I'm partial to Alpine Outfitters - if you can wait. I believe all are mom-n-pop shops.

| Claudia, I also got Adobo & Biko's x-backs from Alpine. Have a question though does the color of the inside part of the harness rub off on Ginger & Storm? I'm presently getting my 2 ready for the winter and took them out both days this weekend to get use to the harness again. Adobo & Biko's neck and chest area look like they haven't had a bath in their lifetime.  |

| No, the part that crosses their chest is fleece lined and does not discolor their chest. Nor does any part of their harness.

| The fleece (the soft fuzzy stuff)is the part I'm having trouble with. I had noticed it last winter but forgot about it until I noticed Biko's chest area was turning black (his harness is green) from wearing it this weekend. Maybe I'll toss it in the laundry with my work clothes to see if I can wash the loose dye out of it. |

| The photos look amazing, Claudia! Kudos to you for your great photography work!  Of course the subjects are also looking great too.  I'm partial to Alpine Outfitters also. Dakota's x back is a custom order from Alpine in all black and I've also never had any issues with color rubbing off onto his coat. I know winter is the worst time to order in that it's their busiest season but I ordered my x back on December 11, 2009 and received my order on December 28, 2009, so it took a little over 2 weeks which isn't bad at all considering I ordered in the middle of their busy season. _________________  |
