Weekly blog concerning pet-related topics. Saturday, January 11, 2014. Chaser, one smart dog – or one of many. Ever wonder how much your dog understands? Or maybe how much can he learn? Author John W. Pilley (with Hilary Hinzmann) is about to tell you in his book, “Chaser, Unlocking the Genius of the Dog Who Knows a Thousand Words.”. This guy really knows Border Collies. More importantly he knows dogs. But his research shows that it doesn’t take a degree in Psychology to have a happy, well-...My favorite...

Weekly blog concerning pet-related topics. Thursday, April 17, 2014. I’m so excited. I wet my plants. I saw that on a sign in Des Moines a couple of weeks ago and just had to share it. Ah, change, ain’t it wonderful? I managed to break my foot! So I’m hobbling around in a huge boot while yearning to get out and work in my yard. Mulberry Spot and Miss Misty Meadow, enemies? I hope you’ll join me in my new adventure and see just where it takes us. And please, let me know from time to time what ch...Sparkle...

Andrea Dorn's blog: Shelter Pets
http://andreadorn.blogspot.com/2014/07/shelter-pets.html
Weekly blog concerning pet-related topics. Friday, July 25, 2014. I visited the Story County Shelter today and though the cat room was closed due to illness I did get some photos of some dogs and a couple of rabbits that I’d like to share with you today. This tri-colored, wirehaired terrier type dog is a friendly but very active dog. I could imagine him making a good family dog with children who have a lot of time to walk him and play with him. Perhaps he’d be a good fly-ball competitor :). Okay, so if y...

Weekly blog concerning pet-related topics. Monday, September 23, 2013. I came to the sudden realization the other day that this month will be the fortieth anniversary of the day my first show cat came into my life. The 23. Kind of sticks in my mind, as well. I think this is the day he was born but I don’t have that written down anywhere, just in my faulty memory. Nile and Gunnar, my German Shep/Lab mix. Well it didn’t take long before he grew into a new name, Demon. They said they’d short...For a time af...

Weekly blog concerning pet-related topics. Saturday, October 26, 2013. Demetrius, part 2. Well, now that I’ve got that malware cleared up and life has settled down for the winter I’ll take you back to my story about little Demetrius, aka Demon………. In the whole fairgrounds! I can’t remember how many cats were entered but it was a lot. They only had to see two judges each day but it took forever. Even worse we couldn’t get in to watch the judging because of the crowd. When our numbe...Later, if we were luc...

Andrea Dorn's blog: July - A Hard Month
http://andreadorn.blogspot.com/2014/07/july-hard-month.html
Weekly blog concerning pet-related topics. Saturday, July 12, 2014. July - A Hard Month. July is a hard month. After waiting months for summer to take hold we are suddenly bombarded with 90 degree temps and high humidity. Some days it is hard just to breath. But then we are rewarded with weeks like the one forecasted next week: clear skies and highs in the 70s! Thai, my mom's Siamese, and Gabbie. Life is like that. Just last week I was struck by the irony of July 8. Only picture of all 6 of Tiggy's babies.

Weekly blog concerning pet-related topics. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. I was staid, going through the motions, handling business and I thought I was going to be just fine. The plan was to pick up the supplies, pay my bill and then ask for them. And leave. I thought I was doing fine…….until she handed me his ashes with that sympathetic expression. I felt the tears well in my eyes and I headed for the door. By the time I was sitting in my car I was full-out crying. Question died on February 26. I brought him ...
