The animal behavior world lost an amazing woman - Karen Pryor. She was a true pioneer in the world of behavior across species and brought all that knowledge to the world of dogs. We have learned so much from her and generations after us will continue to do so as well. I am forever grateful. Rest in Peace.

Hi K9K friends -
You know, I fall in love with all the dogs I meet. Can’t help it. And every now and then, a dog comes along that leaves a mark on your heart. That’s what Miss Maggie did. And this week, I got the heartbreaking news that Maggie crossed over the rainbow bridge🌈. I met Maggie and her mama Karen Casey Hines in puppy class years ago. And my fondest memory of Magpie (my nickname for her) is when she felt that she was too cool for school and she decided to play face wrestle with Stella the bloodhound! Oh how we laughed! Maggie was a free spirit always and that’s one thing I loved so much about her.

Run free sweet girl. Heaven has a new light. 💔🌈

Good chilly morning K9K friends - I think I’ve been bamboozled!! GeeGee never has trouble getting a toy! She’s an expert problem solver!! Just so ya know - at the time she was “struggling” I was curled up with Max giving him some belly rubs. Mmmmhmmmm. You guessed it! She totally faked her “toy emergency” to get my attention! I thought the problem was she couldn’t get her toy when the REAL problem was I wasn’t paying attention to her! Gosh I love how dogs think! And this one made me laugh! Well done GeeGee - but I’m onto you now!
