Damned four-legged fiend strikes again!

This time the casualties were a bag and a half of Pepperidge English muffins plus most of a bar of Swiss dark chocolate with orange.

This is getting ridiculous. I have no problem with giving the poodle an occasional apple, but this counter surfing is getting to be a bit much. That's probably $15 in groceries in less than a week and leaves me with nothing for breakfast as my normal breakfast is one English muffin with peanut butter on it. I've no rice milk for cereal, so I guess it's unthaw the last of my organic chicken apple sausage and finish off the eggs.

Decidedly not a happy camper.

Oh, we definitely know about the badness of chocolate for dogs, I can't think of her having stolen chocolate before. Russet believes that she was going after the apples, couldn't reach them, and pulled off what was in the area that smelled good.

With her 50 lbs weight and the fact that it was half a bar of chocolate, she seems fine. As it happens, the vet is coming over today for her annual and shots.

Chocolate seems to be a bit hit-or-miss, I agree -- my sister's Samoyed as a half-grown youngster ate an entire bowl of Hershey's kisses to no ill effect beyond foil-sparkled poop. I'm amazed Celeste is only 50# though! My guys are 30# each; shows ya what an illusion those short legs can be. And a home-visiting vet? Sheesh; life'o'reilly. ;)

Yeah, the vet wants us to keep her at around 50 lbs., she might be a bit higher at the moment. Not only does the vet make house calls, she's the wife of Russet's boss. ;-)

At 30# my guys aren't fat, they're right where they ought to be. (Poca's a wee bit less, but females aren't as big as the males overall.) They're *soft* because they don't get nearly enough exercise, but that's a different issue. The two weeks I was out of the country, they got large yards and lots of four-legged friends to romp around with -- because corgwyn kept them on the same food alottment, I came home to an anorexic-looking Saint! He was positively bony... now he's himself again.

Post-vet visit: Celeste is at 55#, which we pretty much knew, so we're going to cut her down a little and hopefully the three of us will start getting some more exercise. It's difficult with Russet's hours, but we'll see what we can do.

And Russ tried the other "accordian" door block, and it fits the kitchen entry. :-)

We run our dogs in agility. The dogs love it. You should see my corgi, Tucker jumping up and down when he knows it's time to go to class.

I've been wondering what that was after reading about it on your blog. Is there a web site that would describe it? I tend to doubt there's any events near us, we're pretty darn rural.

We normally run AKC trials. Here's the link for that: AKC

There's also another organization called NADAC: NADAC

I can't seem to find many sites that describe it. Most give the rules, or links for classes.
