can't... resist... any... longer...

OK. I think I've pulled myself together. The Blog Force is actually quite friendly and though powerful, doesn't appear to want to hurt anyone it draws into its vortex.

I've been talking about doing something like this for quite a while now... a blog that is not about me, but about my dogs and cats and their health and training.

We've had a lot of health issues over the last few years, we've gone through hip dysplasia, front leg amputation due to accident/injury, anterior cruciate ligament tears and repairs, bloat, Lyme disease and cancer with the dogs. And we've also dealt with feline diabetes and asthma.

The training issues have been more enjoyable and although the dogs have all either retired or washed out, there will still be the occasional Schutzhund or obedience training story. Although the therapy dog has been on hiatus due to injury, we're set to begin our visits again soon, and we'll talk about that, too.
