I'm having trouble with the puppy pic page.  I'm trying to reorganize it but it won't publish.  I apologize for any errors you may be receiving.  I will have it fixed by tonight.

I updated the puppy pictures.  Training and socialization is going excellent!

There will be a dog scout orientation at Upper Park parking lot this Saturday, 10am.

New pictures of the puppies have been posted.  Puppies will be 10 weeks on Friday.

Since the last puppy update, the puppies have been to the park three times and have had many new experiences socializing with children and other dogs. 

The last week, three times a day for fifteen minutes each, I have began conditioning the pups with clickers and treats to focus and sit. 

House training is pretty much complete and will be easy in their new homes. 

There is an expo in Redding in April.  Click here for details.  Look for our booth at the event!

The storm today got me thinking about how our pets are affected by natural disaster.  While I have done extensive research into pets and disaster preparedness, there isn't much to say other than make sure their needs are met as well.  I plan on taking a seminar in the near future to extend my knowledge of this area. 

You may have heard about animals getting a sixth sense or pre-warning prior to an event occuring such as an earthquake or tsunami.  Mine certainly did not.  The storm was fierce but short.  Aside from trees falling everywhere as they usually do when the valley endures wind, many people were out overstocking in case electricity would be out for several days.  Except the Paradise evacuation, power was restored to most of Chico by late day. 

Pets can often be a good indication on the storm severity.  Still, our thoughts are with those who have been effected.
