Tick Patrol

Posted on: January 30, 2018 Last updated on: January 30, 2018 Written by: Katrin Comments: 0
I’ve been mulling over this since the news of Delta Airlines new service dog policy broke.  Reading people’s comments, organizations responses.  Thinking.  Saddened.  Frustrated.  Really. On Sunday, when getting my husband an ice cream in a shop we’d never before…

Training Wildlife

Posted on: January 23, 2018 Last updated on: January 30, 2019 Written by: Katrin Comments: 0
Dogs that fixate on the wildlife, we all know them, right? Chase squirrels up trees, hunt rabbits, yank your arm off if a chipmunk races across the sidewalk. The dog you know would never recall off a deer. The dogs…

So much Static!

Posted on: January 2, 2018 Last updated on: January 30, 2019 Written by: Katrin Comments: 0

Yesterday my head was so immersed in projects and research that when I lifted it to breathe it was suddenly 4pm.  4 hours later I was sound asleep on the couch.  Where did my day go? So today the dogs…
