Just before Christmas I learned of Lucy’s sudden and unexpected passing. At 4 years old with razor-sharp intelligence, Olympian fitness and a uplifting presence, this was a terrible, unwelcome surprise to everyone who had the privilege of meeting her or being in her company. Lucy’s people are devastated! Lucy was a beautiful whippet/border collie cross … More Lucy Schneider
For the times when you can’t have a ball (coz it will get lost in the snow) but you’re definitely feeling ” frisbee”. Georgia and Otto definitely enjoyed themselves !
I recently received the very unwelcome news that Wrigley had lost the fight he was having with bone cancer… a fight that he and his people didn’t know that they were in until a week or so before he passed. An unfair, sneaky, dirty fight… as always seems to be the case! Wrigley’s people are … More Wrigley
Daisy reckons that there is nothing like a Sunday romp… unless it’s on a Monday, a Tuesday, a Wednesday, or any other day of the week…. ! Agreed!
We nearly didn’t meet Angus! We had previously visited Calgary Humane Society and decided to adopt a Chow/Shepherd mix who was going to be called Booch. Prior to Booch being neutered, x-rays revealed some extremely serious hip issues that made him unadoptable at that time! As paperwork had been completed and money had changed hands … More Angus

Congratulations to Melba, who proved last night that she is indeed a Clever Canine… !!
Ruby decided to come and see what the Pooch House is all about. After a good nights sleep and a play in the park she decided that she would stay a while. Whilst at the park she practiced her recall… and very good it was too… in spite of Angus trying to put her off … More Total Recall… Ruby style…
Reese decided to check out what all the fuss was about and came for a quick visit to see if she would like to have a staycation while her people were away. She enjoyed her visit and decided that she would be back soon. You’ll be very welcome Reese!
Melba was happy to see a colour-coordinating object on the ground… even moreso when she realised that it was a dog bed! “If I fits I sits” she said, plonking herself down. Puppies can be very persuasive… and possession is 9/10th’s of the law… !! Melba… it’s yours… !!
