Titan made it through surgery this past Monday!! I am so glad!! Since then he has been waited on hand and foot!!! Whatever he wants.... attention....a lap to lay in....a beloved blanket provided by Willow!!! Dropping him off proved to be interesting to say the least...lol... with both of almost in a fight!!! I hate when my voice goes up a few notches when the owner of dog isn't moving fast enough for me!! It did Monday morning!! At the vets office I park close to the building. As I am parking, I see a truck parking across from me. Guy steps out of the truck, opens another door, and out jumps a big black Lab. Totally loose....no collar....no leash.... nothing. The Lab is running around using the grass. Titan is standing by the car with me. Lab sees Titan and heads towards at a fast walk. I have already told the guy, my dog doesn't like dogs!! He calls his dog and the dog is still unsure about going to his owner. Dog steps towards us. By now my voice is up a couple of notches because the guy isn't getting his dog back fast enough. While this is happening, I put Titans back in the car. He doesn't want to go. He wants to see the dog. Only Titan.... can't open his mouth wide....has teeth problems would want to sink his teeth in another dog on his way to surgery to fix his teeth!!! I was unhappy with the dog off leash. Dog never was put on a leash. That was a comforting thought trying to check in at Gentry's office big as it is. Loose dog by the desk. Titan and me in the doorway. We are very lucky the loose dog listened. Titan is clam, no signs, he looks okay til the dog is in teeth range. Dr. Gentry did a lot of work on Titan. His teeth and gums horrible. Some places seventy percent bone loss. Coming home, barely able to move Maria carried him in. Broke my heart hearing him whine and cry. I hang out with him in his room. Today, he was on the porch with me. Some of the swelling has gone down. As of now it is still a mystery why opening his mouth was painful. He had X-rays, an exam.. nothing obvious. The vet thinks possibly it was his sore front teeth. He does okay with the cone. I had to close his crate because he got stuck. Now it just time. Some of what was done will take a month to heal. I am so thankful Titan is on his way to feeling better. Sending all my friends a stupendous day!!! Love, Linda.

07/24/2024

It was an epic adventure at the vet Monday...drenched and Titan trying to simultaneously bite the vet and rocket launch himself off the table!! What a rodeo. He didn't care how the tech held him, he was getting off the table. Finally he got what he wanted. If that wasn't enough...just prior to his catapulting around the table, he let out an ear piercing scream of pain. Never before have I heard that sound. It was so bad some of the staff checked on us. The vet still is unsure what is up with his mouth. Opening his mouth to check caused him to scream in pain. The visit to the vet left a lasting impression. Since then, I haven't had it in me to open his mouth and sq**rt his stomach coating medicine down. When I think about it, I hear Titans scream. Also, have a vision of him lunging. I am definitely not as agile as I used to be. We came home with two more medicines to give twice a day!! It's a full time job giving Titan his medicine. Monday bright and early Titan goes to have a dental, x-rays, and a mouth exam. Since the visit, I paid attention noticed he opens his mouth part of the way. He gets softened food which he enjoys. I sit sometimes in the afternoon with him. Right now he is on the porch. The vet was ecstatic over Titans weight, thirty six pounds. He was thirty pounds when he came here. His eyes are good. He now has fur. His feet are a bit red but they are better. Between now and Monday, Titan will be spoiled more than usual. I am very interested in finding out what is up with his mouth. Sending all my friends a stupendous afternoon!!! Love, Linda.

07/15/2024

Jasper went for his first grooming last Thursday. He looks amazing!!! I cannot believe how much better he looks and feels!! Picking him up the groomers are telling me how wonderful Jasper did. One of the groomers wanted to take him home. They bring out an ecstatic, prancing Jasper. Getting his leash on, I get Jasper to sit. While I am telling the groomers about what he going to be doing, Jasper almost pulls me over getting to a shopper walking past. I get the excited Jasper back in sit keeping a closet eye on him. As we're heading to the car, I see a lady with two small kids and a young Pit Bull. Not wanting a repeat of what just happened in the store, I have one eye on Jasper. We're walking to the car, so far so good, I hear the beep unlocking it, walking past the drivers door, watching Jasper and the other dog, I put Jasper in a sit by the passenger door. Very little space between my car the other he one beside me. I am opening the passenger door on this white RAV4, fixing to have Jasper jump inside, when I hear the driver of the car say, she will be out of my way in a second!!! Hahaha!!! I almost died of embarrassment. Between watching Jasper, the kids, and other dog, I almost put him in the wrong car!!! That is definitely a first!!! Sending all my wonderful friends a stupendous day!!! Love, Linda.

Titan is doing stupendous!!! Living the good life with a human dedicated to his comfort. Now, he has his very own portable air conditioning unit set up to keep him cool. However, he still goes into the hot laundry room. Successfully getting around portable air conditioner and fan. At least he can stay cool. Whatever he needs....I will happily give him!! Life, for the most part, has settled into a routine. Titan going in and out as needed. In the morning and evening, I sit outside with him. Just enjoying his company. Most afternoons, Titan and I walk around the front yard. He likes sniffing where all rabbits, squirrels, and birds have been. Breaks up the monotony for him. I like hanging with him. A lot of days, I sit down and Titan lays beside or across my lap. He smiles his bully smile. I am so attached to him!!! So far, all is good medically with him. His eyes, feet, and stomach are well under control. One Saturday night I thought we were going to the ER. Titan wouldn't eat. Thrown up twice. I am indecisive to begin with. With Titan it's worse. I was like....is he sick? Resting?? I don't know!! At one point he looked like he was in pain. I got the car ready. Made coffee. After a day of him being sort of uninterested in food or attention. I put Titans leash on. He stands up goes to his food bowl and starts eating happily. Hahahaha!!! I could have wrung his neck!!! Why I love Bull Terries so very much!!! Titan is happy and in good health!! Sending all my friends a fabulous day!!! Love, Linda.

06/24/2024

I rescued a rabbit in the backyard this morning!!!! I can't believe it!!! It was So Amazing!!!! Made my day!!!! I am really glad Skye wasn't outside!! She would have been but earlier she ignored me when I called her inside. When I went to let Jasper out, Skye pushed her way onto the back porch. Refused to go back in the house. She got picked up and put down in the kitchen. I wasn't about to go back through getting her inside again. Jasper went out on his own. Looking out the kitchen window I spotted Jasper up against the fence wagging his tail. I am wondering whether or not someone is trying to pet him through the fence. Watching, I just see Jasper. I do see what looks like a pile of dirt. I think to myself if he is digging, he is about to get in trouble. Thankfully, he wasn't digging. A few minutes later, looking outside I see Jasper at the back fence line still wagging his tail. Watching closely, I realize a full grown, large brown rabbit sits in front of Jasper. I can't believe it!!! A rabbit sitting at Jasper's front paws!!! Calling Jasper hoping he will come. Hoping also, I don't scare the rabbit more. Hearing his name, Jasper gallops into the house. Quickly, he is crated. The rabbit is still sitting with its body pressed against the fence. Going outside, I open a gate giving the rabbit a way out. Walking to the rabbit, sending positive healing energy, and thoughts that I will help it, slowly I get close. I even tell the rabbit, it is safe with me. I am going to wrap the towel around it and take where it is safe. I did!! The rabbit stayed stil while I put the towel around it!!! Carrying it in my arms out of the the backyard it was calm!!! I took the rabbit close to a brush line by the drive. Sitting on the ground, I unwrap the towel. The rabbit allows me to pet it while giving it positive healing energy. I checked it for injuries. Thankfully didn't see any other than a scraped nose. Touched my heart and humbled me...this wild rabbit trusting me to help it. As it headed off I asked Creator to watch over the rabbit. They don't deal well with stress. I hope it wasn't too stressed. The rabbit freely sat with me for a minute before heading to the brush line. I love.All animals!!! They all have a safe spot here in the front yard. Sending all my friends a stupendous week!!! Love, Linda.

05/28/2024

Brave or temporarily insane.....maybe a touch of both. Fortunately all three of us survived with all body parts still attached!!! Jasper hasn't been out lately as much I would like due to the weather. In between storms, I lack the wherewithal. I make excuses some days...tired, headache, don't want to leave the house...the list goes on. As of yesterday, I have a new reason/excuse....Willow, my three year old granddaughter. Today is day two of my keeping her. I love her deeply but she is challenging to watch. She is strong willed, struggles with listening, constantly messing with one of the animals, she will look at me and do what I just told her not to do. Her favorite is running from me, inside...outside..anywhere works for her. Maria has a special backpack for Willow that has a leash. Guess who forgot the backpack earlier?? This morning I felt froggy and took Jasper and Willow to Pet Supplies Plus. Jasper is good but can be pushy and rude. He wants to make himself noticed when I am talking to someone. I hoped to work on Jasper waiting to be invited to get attention. I explained to Willow how to behave inside the store. If she did, she'd get to pick something to buy for the cats. The thirty minutes we were there she mostly did. Jasper stayed in a down watching customers pass by. He was up and down trying to relocate himself. When I talked to one of the staff, he couldn't stand it. He tried seeing her. He tried seeing me. I ended up dropping my crickets getting Jasper under control. While Jasper was behaving, Willow went down an aisle and over to the cats. I took Jasper with me to get her. Willow seeing me took several steps away from me!!! I told to come with me. She gave me The Look....the look Skye gives me....the look Stormy gives me when they debating whether or not to come to me!!! Standing there waiting to see what she was going to do, I had a visual of Willow running rampant up and down the aisles while me and every employee unsuccessfully chased her. Be my luck. The dog didn't get loose but the child did. By grace of the Universe, Willow came to me. Now she is resting and I am recovering. Hope all my amazing friends are having a stupendous day!!! Love, Linda.

05/19/2024

Titan and I enjoyed an afternoon out a few days ago!!! Wasn't Secret Garden but probably more fun for Titan because he got a bully stick!! Laying in the floor of Ma and Paws, he happily finished it off. My friend, Rebecca, told me Titan looked happy to her. His bully grin was out in full measure. So far, his unexpected tooth extraction hasn't bothered him. I am grateful for that. Thankfully, Titans stomach has behaved....whew!!! He gets two more pills than before. Of course, one of them is the dissolve in water and sq**rt it down his throat. Have to say, I am getting more adept!!! Been days since I squired myself or the bathroom mirror. I hate doing it twice a day. Keeping him healthy is worth whatever I have to do. After the pill he gets a cookie!!! Figure the pill probably tastes bad so I want Titan to have something tasty after. The first picture I took the other day. Titan was pressed up against my back in the yard. It felt so comforting. Titan is doing well and making the most of life. Be amazing if we had that gift!! Sending all my friends a wonderful evening!!! Love, Linda.

My food obsessed Corgi....Most of them are, it seems. When Stormy and I got home, Maria told me Skye got her cheeseburger.

05/02/2024

Came home from subbing yesterday to a sick Titan. Not only was he sick, he was standing on top of cooler, front paws on a.shelf, trying to get out my laundry room window. He was doing his best to get to the backyard. Grabbing his leash I rush him into the backyard. Somewhere along the way, misplacing his leash. Thirty minutes and a roll of paper towels later his accidents are cleaned up. In between clean up, I called the vet, texted the rescue, and got the okay to take Titan for an after hours exam. Going through the house trying to his leash, my phone a couple of times, and my keys we finally get out the door. I am so Thankful his vet was willing to see us. During our hour at the vet, Titan was checked for parasites, given diarrhea medicine, nausea medicine, and fluids. We came home with Two more pills to give daily. I really don't mind. Getting a system worked out. One of his current pills has to be dissolved in water and sq**rted down his throat thirty minutes before any other meds. Still haven't got that one down yet. We make it home okay. Me worn out. Sick Titan looking weak in the back seat. On my into the house, just having left the vet, Titan grabs one of my dogs jaws through a chain link fence and bites down. In course of Maria separating them one of Titans teeth totally come out. My dog runs off with a tooth in his lip. Blood all over the place. Titan hoping for another shot. Maria nauseous. She gets Titan still enough to check his mouth. I couldn't believe it!! Willow was ignoring us telling her to not open the backyard gate. In going up to close it, my dog rushed up to Titans face through the fence. That was all she wrote. My dog has a pinprick hole in the lip. Titan has one less tooth. Thankfully it was an incisor and canine. The entire tooth came out not part of one. I walk Titan around my other dogs. They stay out of.his way. Last night was a freak accident due to several factors. Titan is an excellent example of how determined and tough Bull Terriers are. When Arne was told, he reminded me Titan was frail. I should look out for him. Then his tune changed when he realized Titan was the instigator. Today, we are hanging out on the porch. Sending a wonderful day to call my amazing friends!!! Love, Linda.

04/29/2024

In true Bull Terrier form Titan effectively thwarted my plans for last Thursday!!! I was going to plant shop at Secret Garden, a nursery I like in Nashville. Thought it would be a good afternoon out. Titan had his day out alright...at the vet!! That morning going into the bathroom to get him ready I noticed he'd thrown up. Before that got cleaned up, Titan threw up again. I called the vet and thankfully they worked us in. Poor baby, looked weak a his eyes. We got to the vet and Titan threw up in lobby. In no short order we were in a room. I told the vet how Titan was eating sporadically. Also, he'd been throwing up off and on. He'd do it one time and go back ti normal. This time was different. He spent the day getting x-rays, ultrasound, and blood work. I got a day of hoping he was okay. Late afternoon the vet calls letting me know Titans has stomach ulcers. Now he gets Prilosec daily. He also got a few days supply of nausea medicine. I don't have ulcers but my daughter does. She tells me, they are horrible to deal with. You can't eat. Can't get comfortable. Feel sick and lay around. Hearing that makes feel so blessed Titan was seen on Thursday and not Monday, the other time available. Days of being miserable he was spared. Now he is back to himself. It took him two or three days to stop laying in his crate all day. I am hopeful we will make it to the nursery soon. Sending all my friends a wonderful day!!! Love, Linda.

I said I wasn't going to again.....but I have!! Meet Jasper a year old Golden Retriever being trained for a special job as a school dog. He will be stress relief for the kids. So far, he is good with kids, cats, other dogs, and people. He runs up to everyone and stops. No jumping at all. Willow ran around the backyard safely with Jasper loose. Attention is what he really wants. Yesterday Willow's popsicle was ignored. Maria was petting him. Jasper tends to press against me, head across my lap when I'm stressed. He had no idea he was the cause of my stress. This is something they want him to do. Its amazing he already does this. The first few days were so horrible, I called the guy who brought him to me. Told I couldn't do. Couldn't take the ba and physically putting Jasper in his crate. Wasn't fair to my family trying to sleep. Also, Stormy running out the front door every time it opened. I had to chase his little butt around the front yard. Arrangements were made to send Jasper to another trainer. He couldn't go til the end of this week. Since last Saturday, Jasper is quiet in his crate. Thanks too a vinegar/water mix sprayed in his mouth. I hate doing that but quiet in the crate is necessary. Now he goes willingly in the crate. Lunch meat held through the wire got me that. We are now working on basic commands and loose leash walking. Inside the house Jasper is on his leash with me holding it. He is a big puppy who hasn't learned calm inside. At night I watch movies holding the leash. Jasper laying beside me. Him and Skye play happily in the backyard. Running and chasing each other. I really like Jasper. He has traits that I can't teach like seeking attention. Part of daily life we work on ignoring toys on the floor, dog and human. At school he will need to do that. I am enjoying watching Jasper grow, learn, and mature. Today we may go to Lowes. First, Titan and I are going on an outing. Sending all my friends a wonderful day!! Love, Linda.

04/17/2024

I would have posted sooner but life kept me hopping. Titan is pretty much in a holding pattern with life. We don't have any vet appointments, except for allergy shots, all his daily meds he gets daily, his weight and eating leveled out. He is settled into our routine. Now it is just maintaining. As long as his eyes are free of discharge. As long as his feet stay good....no vet visits. I am ecstatic over that!! He is so cool. In mornings I sub, Titan gets to run around. Like now Titan lays on a bed at my feet. I think he likes his little bathroom/laundry room suite. My daughter visits him frequently. She sits in the floor with him in her lap. At night I'll usually hang out for awhile with him. After school Titan usually spends time outside with me. He seems to enjoy life. I hate admitting this but sometimes I leave his food down so he can eat throughout the day. Definitely breaking my ten minutes to eat rule. I am so bad....lol, lol. Titan lays across my legs and I don't even care. As long as Titan is comfortable and happy that is all I care about. I never Dreamed I'd let a dog do this. Titan is special. All he has been through....he deserves all I can give him and more. He got in my heart quickly and deeply. Willow, my youngest granddaughter, loves Titan so much. She likes helping feed him and let him out. She has no problem at all picking his leash up to get him through the house. Very soon I hope to start taking Titan out....to square. Maybe Double Dogs. Hang with him watching the world go by. Sending a wonderful day to all my beautiful friends!! Love, Linda.

04/07/2024

Been Three adventurous years since I met Skye in Grand Rapids, Montana!!! One of the best days of my life!!! It was so bittersweet....It had been three weeks since.Cara, my first Corgi, got wings. Six months and three weeks since Zeus got wings. My heart hurt. Wasn't sure how open at would be. Seeing Skye's sweet little face melted my heart. She lives in my heart now. Skye is a very sweet Corgi. She doesn't have the heifer streak Cara had. Although Skye did run out the front door past my daughter while I was in Egypt. Cold November morning found Maria, her nightclothes, in the middle of the road stopping traffic and chasing Skye. On another occasion, Skye shot out of my friend Cindy's yard to chase a doe. Chased it for five streets. She'd come to Cindy only to fly past her. If it moves in the opposite direction Skye chases it. Not on the leash but running freely in the yard. She is always on a mission. Looking for squirrels or birds anything in the yard. She likes surveying her kingdom from a chair at Cindy's. Here it is the tree trunk. For awhile we did Nose Work. Skye so enjoyed using her nose and mind. Willow, my youngest granddaughter, is obsessed with Skye and Corgis. She loves leading Skye around. Skye doesn't mind. She is attached to Willow. Also, she knows Willow is good for leaving food unattended. Skye and Willow.were born in February about three weeks apart. Amazing. Didn't plan that but it worked out well. Been fun watching them grow together. I am always amazed at how Skye can get on anything in the.house.. The other day I caught her walking on top of the dining room table. She gets in the playpen, runs up and down the back of the couch, gets on top of totes several feet off the ground. Definitely a Corgi trait. Very little, if anything, gets between a Corgi and something she wants. Corgis love life. They are so happy. Skye brings me joy watching her body slam Stormy. Or chase squirrels in the yard. Watch her kingdom laying on the coffee table looking on the front yard. She is my free range Corgi because I enjoyed her being a puppy. She had guidance and structure but I didn't do any teaching her basic commands. I just wanted to enjoy her. I get tired of always having to keep dogs behaving. With Skye, she ran and played and made me smile. I love her little sweet face and nature. Spirit gave me easy dogs this time with Stormy and Skye. I am very thankful for them. It allows me to just relax and enjoy my two. Three years ago today, Skye and I were just starting on our journey together. I love her more deeply than I thought possible. She lights up my life. Love, Linda.

Our Story

I bring to my clients and students over thirty years experience with dogs training them for Schutzhund , AKC STAR Puppy, Canine Good Citizen Class, Therapy Dogs, and the first three Crisis Response Dogs in this area. I also work with Music City Greyhound Adoption training retired racing Greyhounds at the prison in Nashivlle.
