Closing Images from 2010

I wanted to leave everyone with some images 

I took today of the magnificence 

of icicles, dogs and cats...

 

These two images are from our honeysuckle vine right outside our kitchen door. With temperatures in the teens and twenties the last few days, we have an Icicle Waterfall--Amazing isn't it?

but he is as fast as the wind!

Merlin, our Maine Coon

 Piper--don't know what is with all the tongues showing, must be getting stuck-- LOL

Romeo, our Seal Point Snowshoe

And one last shot of Merlin, our Golden Girl at 14

Here's to wishing everyone PEACE & JOY in 2011

Recommended Books on Dog Training (Positive Training)

I have been meaning to do this for a while. This past spring, I created a list of dog training books that I have either read myself or have had recommended by positive dog trainers that I work with. It was originally handed out in puppy classes that I had assisted in, and most of the books I had purchased while I was a librarian/book buyer for the Weber County Library. However, most of the books are available for purchase from amazon.com or from Dogwise

Also please check your local public library. If they don't own a book you want to read, ask them to consider purchasing it, or ask them to order it from another library (Inter-Library Loan).  

I will update it as new books come out that I feel are great books that other dog owners/trainers should be aware of. Hope you enjoy!

 Cheers,
