This is also the face that got lost in the woods for about 45 minutes this weekend. We were on a new trail and Abby must have taken a wrong turn and lost the group (me, a friend, her dog, Ryan and Lucy). I ran back down the mountain yelling her name - it took us an hour or so to climb up and it took me about 30 mins to stumble down. Smart Abby was waiting by the car. She was so happy to see us - kisses for everyone and then she wanted to keep hiking. I wasn't *too* worried, but I was definitely getting more and more panicky as I went down the trail with no sign of her. Considering I've never lost sight of Abby in the last 8 years of hiking with her, this was scary. I'm so glad she went back to the car!
Oh, and you know what else is the face of insanity?

That cute little chick?
In 3 days (that's right, 3) the nutty mutts and I are moving to a farm. I've started a new blog to document the adventure and I'll post the link soon.
No April Fools - it's really happening! I'm not sure I even understand it's real yet...
Ryan turned 6 today! For his birthday, I brought him to the brothel....aka doggy daycare.
The last time Ryan was there he had just turned 1 and he hadn't yet discovered the joys of humping. He was a late bloomer and only really figured it out two years ago...
Unfortunately (fortunately?) he was like a dirty old man in a group of hip youngsters today.
First he tried his sexiest stance. When your ears are 2" tall toothpicks on your ginormous heeead, this stance isn't all that impressive.
Since Ryan is a superb reader of canine body language, he took all signals of "no no no go away please" to mean "yes, yes I would in fact like to be humped by a dirty old man!"
All the cool youngsters would be chillin' (as they call it these days) and ...
Adopting Abby in 2005 gave me a crash course on owning a high drive dog...I liked it so much that I adopted Border Collie puppy Ryan two years later.
These are the (no)tails of my adventures in agility, flyball, sheep herding, general training and daily life with two NuttyMutts....and with some pictures of sea lions and other aquatic life thrown in since I worked at an aquarium.
