All About Pocket Knives

Thank you, Mike and Tom!

If cats had money.

Great photo and funny caption! Though I think my cats would go to the supermarket and buy a bunch of fish...

That’s a beautiful cat.

Here is Moki at 3 months and 2 weeks. He really looks like a a golden retriever now. He weighs about 50 lbs and when we got him at Easter he was just 9lbs. It’s no wonder a year is like 7 years for a dog. When you grow up that fast, how fast is every other aspect of aging? Adolescents in a year and a half? Adulthood at 2 to 3 years and then it’s a quick rush to old age. Cherishing every moment I get with this beautiful and sweet boy before I blink and it’s over.

Here is a montage of Moki over the last 4 months since his birth

Mark, thank you so much for sharing Moki's life with us.

More thanks to Mark for sharing the photos of Moki. What a wonderful pup!

Meanwhile, I got this photo of Harald and Tommy sharing bed space.

Thanks Garry and Dan. He is just as sweet as he looks.

Dan those two cats remind me of our Penny and Jack, both gone now. But those two really bonded and slept together and got along great. Yours looks like they are really good together.

Thanks, Mark! It took a while, but Harald has been accepted by the other cats.

Here is my three owners, they own us…..Heather , is the brown , Fanny the black, and the Boss of everyone is Vitali, named after Vitali Klitschko former heavyweight champion , now mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine .

Wonderful pups, Theo!

Currently at the farm house- three GSPs and a Sheepadoodle. Australian Heeler not pictured.

You have a great looking pack, redrider.

Thanks Dan, they are our owners...

Nice looking pups and cats, guys!

Some pics of Rueger, or 'The Furry Turd" as I like to call him.

He's 6 months now, will turn 7 in a couple of weeks. We are thinking now he will be much smaller than initially thought - maybe around 70-80 lbs - which is fine by us. Still a big dog.

In the first couple of pics, a squirrel ran up into the tree and was taunting and chattering at him.

He likes the purple donut toy. I roll it across the yard at high speed and he takes after it like a shot, like he is chasing a rabbit. Pam has been doing his daily training sessions for the last couple of months. He learned "sit", "down" in the first day, and has now mastered "stay". "Stay" seems to be the hardest for most of our dogs in the past. The retaining wall around the patio does not retain him at all, and he likes to leap over it at full speed.

Mike, Ruger appears filled with energy and vigor. May I suggest another basic command to consider? It may require the most patience but may be the most important of all. That is the recall. To have a dog consistently return despite distractions can be life saving.
It usually requires several brief training sessions several times a day.

Picked up this little girl in Macon Sunday after the Lexington Show.

Nine weeks old.

Maggie Mae MacGlathery, after Sarah’s Scots grandmother.

What a cutie! Congratulations. I know she will provide a lot of happiness.

Cute pup, Charlie!

Little Blind Molly isn’t so sure about this yet.

Hasn’t growled or tried to correct her behavior, mostly ignoring her as best she can.

Good looking pup, Charlie!

QS, yes, she works with them on recall as well. She is pretty regimented on their daily training routines, especially when they are young like Rueger. She is also looking into getting him some professional training. We have done this with a couple of our dogs in the past.

That is great Mike. Its hard work but worth the effort.

Very cute pups, Charlie!

Harald the Kitten and Tommy appear to be expecting something... maybe some catnip?
