Finally, Winter Wonderland

Off Topic
  • This started about 7am this morning. I am so sick of the mud season, which lasted about 3 months longer than I would have liked, that I had to take this picture to share!

  • I am envious.

  • We got quite a big dump over the last couple of days also and the temperature is very nice only around -5 C. But my B's don't particularily like playing in the snow, they'd much rather prefer the fireplace.

  • Just a little ways up the highway from you, Arlene, and we have nothing! Even saw the sun earlier. I'm not complaining. Most of the mud in my backyard is frozen, anyway! Enjoy the snow - you can keep it! :-)

  • Pretty picture…

    ...we are all covered in white here in Wisconsin. Our winter was late onset too...silly weather.

  • My 2 b's in the PNW like the snow much better than the rain. Me, not crazy for the snow, even tho it is very pretty when your warm inside.

  • Yeah, well, it's already melting-so much for my winter wonderland-back to the mud!

    Yes they will still go out to potty reliably when there is snow. Snow is not wet on the feet. Rain is another story though…...they give you the....omg you know I am melting right?....look

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!

    Sharron, you're right. Knowledge is power. Right now, none of the plants I have are toxic. I am a stickler for that type of thing, because if it's not my animals getting sick, it could be someone elses, and I would never forgive myself. As for a b nipping off rose shoots, well… that would just mean that the rose would have no flowers! It might not look like it, but the yard/garden is maintained for the enjoyment of all of us - humans and pets. I love my garden, but I love my animals first.
  • Wow !!! I finally made it to senior member
