1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 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. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Yes, she does have spunk....in spurts! She is a TOTAL snuggle-bug and would steal belly rubs, couch space and bed space whenever she can!

One of the mentor's at sleddogcentral.com emailed me back with a few tips on how to get your pup to pull....so here it goes:
We start off with something behind her with hubby walking next to her...
...so she get's used to 'something' behind her following her...
...then, we let her go ahead, still pulling something behind her...
...and we add a little weight to the plastic kiddie sled...
...and now she's running with the sled still behind her...
...and hubby drops back even farther behind...
...she's now pulling a small amount of weight behind her on her own... ...and she was done by the time she got to this point and wanted to play with the other dogs running loose in the park.
I think it went ok for the first day...next time, we'll a 10lb barbell to the sled.

New game to keep Ginger challenged. The cups are really hard to remove so I had to turn them upside down in order for me to keep her interested in the game.

LOL! Yep...but the cups are really hard to get out. It doesn't come out if she paws at it, and she can't get it out with her mouth and if she loses interest if it's too hard. I'll turn the cups upside down if the hidden treat is small and a little more flat than the carrots I had in the video.

She is a big girl! 60 lbs! I asked our vet and she says she's just right! She's 'short and stocky' as our vet says, and '...she has a big rib cage, and she has a nice wasteline.'....she's also VERY fluffy right now so that makes her look even bigger. I have to giggle whenever we give her a bath....

I sent this picture to Camp Bow Wow, a doggie daycare I sometimes take her to, for a photo contest in January.
She won! I'm so proud of her
The caption read: 'Happy New Year!...now where's my treat?!'
She's really good about doing what I ask of her, but she ain't gotta like it all the time and she'll let me know in her facial expressions! LOL!

Nope, but she sat there long enough for me to fumble with the camera a little while, and take a couple of pictures! The whole time she had that look, and the whole time I was just cracking up!

thanks! we do this at every feeding too. she has to sit or lay before i put her food bowl down, and then she has to wait for our command 'Take it' before she can eat. I'll walk away and go wash some dishes and she'll still be waiting. I have to credit Cesar Millan for this one...
