Manditory Spay & Neuter laws are sweeping the USA, causing financial disaster for the States and the eventual extinction of our beloved pets and domesticated animals. Existing laws forbidding cruelty to animals and regulating their lives have been historically successful and we don't need more extreme laws for their protection. To the contrary, these extreme laws are NOT meant for the

Afraid Flynn didn't have a good day yesterday...First he was groomed in prep for the STCA Judge-Breeder seminar where he will be one of the display "prop's" and then when he came home he tried to mount and dominate sweet old neutered Tavi so he had a serious meeting with "Mr. Magazine" and mommy (me) had to flip him on his back and growl in his face! Thank goodness he's back to normal today and

I entered Clara in the Emerald Classic Cluster shows in Eugene OR 9/3-6/09...Gee I hope there are majors all 4 days! I think she may be having too much fun with Amy and doesn't want to come home to her obnoxious brother!

"Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes!" ~ Theophile Gautier I'm afraid I flunked Religion class at my high school arguing this very issue...(as well as a few other choice ones such as: If Jesus spoke the truth, why should it matter that he is the son of God or a common beggar; and why is it so important that Mary was a virgin?)! LOL! What a precocious teen I was!

Too often, people who support these organizations are misled into thinking they are actually helping animals or their local humane societies. Despite having a name that suggests an active role in

OK, Why is Clara, who is a natural show dog and absolutely adores being in the ring, having so many problems getting her majors when her almost identical twin brother finished his championship at 13 months old and, though he loved every minute of it, was an absolute butt head in the ring? Clara is showing like a dream, self stacks for Amy and struts her stuff like a true showman. She's playful,
