I love this photo! What’s one of the signs of a Dog Person? Willing to get in the middle of a dog pile!
Get in the middle?
That’s my rather lame attempt into an update on the transition of the website. The basic framework pages are up. Note links across the top of the old design are now above the banner. When content is transferred from one area, I will delete that link across. For example, the blog is now contained on the home page. There’s is no longer a What’s New link at the top. The content on each page will be in its entirety, although in a bit of disarray because of the layout change. I’ll get it tidied up in due time, but know that all previous content will be included. If you are having trouble, please let me know.
I’m so stoked about the new look, how it’s communal. Even got RSS feed figured out! If any of you have an RSS feed you’d like added to this website, let me know.
Off to spend the day cutting and pasting!

On The Wall
For years – it’s probably still there – atop my sister Lori’s dresser is a doll standing in front of a mirror. She’s probably ten, dressed in braids, a plaid shirt, rolled up denim jeans and tennis shoes. Old-fashioned tennis shoes. No Nike swoosh for her! In her arms, looking into the mirror, she’s holding a wedding dress.
When Fernando – and Dante and Sadie and Ling and Khamma – were five months old, Vickie, Julie and I met in Rapid City for dog shows and a puppy exchange. Vickie brought Dante home to Colorado. Julie somehow got Ling to my sister. It was fun to watch the puppies that weekend. Among the many photos, here’s my favorite. Fernando looking in the mirror.
Both of those images jumped into my head when I received this…
Cadence is Lori’s grand-daughter. Lori’s daughter Shanna is Cadence’s mother.

This past weekend Bette finished her title!
Dreams can come true.
It can happen to you.

Understanding it might be going a little too far, but there’s only one way to learn. Jump in! So, if you see weird, wacky things over the next few days, don’t worry. I’m integrating the blog with the content on the website and doing a bit of a design change. Here I go!

Hi Debby,
Just reread the older entry…”but Doc, the dog is dead”…my criteria
for a vet is certainly different than your needs as a breeder. And I
have thrown caution to the wind, with having all of our dogs
vaccinated including meds for heartworm, the raccoon meds and kennel
cough. We do board from time to time. Our groomer doesn’t require
it. Mercifully, everyone seems to be surviving!!
But I have reached a painful reality that my current vet has let his
office run “amuck” with poorly trained staff. Our 11 year old Sophie
has been on the same thyroid meds for years and was recently given
the wrong pills 3x before the desk ladies could figure out how to renew
the prescription properly. Soph weighs 12 pounds and they gave us
meds for a 100 pound dog!! We caught the mistake immediately so no
harm was done to Sophie. We have been overcharged for special food,
charged for incorrect procedures, etc. And it doesn’t appear the
situation will be correcting itself anytime soon. So it’s off to find
a new “Wizard”!!
Any suggestions? Especially questions to ask? Special things to
look for…Could you open this up to the blog?
You have shared who you go to for normal vet procedures…my groomer
and her family have used the same vet for years and recommend him,
too. Did you make a special appt. just to meet the vet before making
the move?
Thanks!
Kathy
P.S. From Debby:
As always, I like to include a photo or graphic with each entry. I came upon Are You Busy Doc? through the all-powerful google. Having worked in a Nebraska Sandhills practice the first three years out of vet tech school, looks like a must read!
