Doggie Sports

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Our dogs don’t take part in real dog sports. I would love to do agility training with Gambit. It’s just not in the cards at the time being, and neither is pseudo-agility training since we don’t have a sufficient yard and … Continue reading →

Splish splash

Posted on August 10, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

While Gambit has seen the ocean before, the rest of the dogs hadn’t. Actually, Nellie had only seen creeks, since it was too cool for the lakes when we fostered her. Nellie loved running around in the waves! She also … Continue reading →

Sunning

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Gambit loves laying in the sun. Fortunately, Gambit’s grandaddy and his granddaddy’s neighbor built a big deck for him to commandeer. When given the options of a shady tree or a spot in the sun, Gambit will choose the sun … Continue reading →

Time heals many wounds

Posted on June 22, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

During Rusty’s time with us, he has made more progress than we initially thought would be possible. While interaction with other dogs and acting as his leaders during the first few weeks benefited him a great deal, he continued to … Continue reading →

Summer at the lake

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

We’re lucky enough to live near one of several large lakes built as reservoirs. This gives us easy access to beat the southern summer heat while exercising the dogs. Last summer, we went to the beach several times a week. … Continue reading →
