			<description><![CDATA[ If I had thought long and hard, I couldn&#39;t have come up with a better test for Maya.  In one of our suburban soccer fields (of all places) we saw a guy
with some kind of a para sail - skateboard rig setting up.  He was a complete amalgam of all of the things that used to make Maya bark.  He wore a backpack,
helmet, tinted goggles shading his eyes, and a beard; and to top it all off he was attached to thing flapping in the breeze!

Maya was interested as we approached, but not... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Today at an agility trial, I got to meet the sweetest 11.5 year old grey.  Ohhhhh.....love.  I knew I liked the breed, I knew how gentle and sweet they are...I
see Indy&#39;s expression in their eyes and face.  Such a sweet, gentle boy, who has had a very successful agility career to, and lives with cats and a duck
without issue.
<br>
<br>
If Reno&#39;s breeder hadn&#39;t had Reno in the wings after Indy died, it&#39;s a very real possibility that I&#39;d have a grey crated next to me instead... ]]></description>

he keeps trying to scratch at it. Is it ok to put bacitracin, or something, on to help the scrape? Thanks for any info! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ How do your dogs wear all of these neat collars without wearing ridges in their coats?  These collars are gorgeous and the one regret I have about my Sammies
is that they can&#39;t wear these beautiful pieces of art; I fear that the collars would wear a very unsightly ridge into their beautiful roughs.

took off the plastic wrap and the bottom fell out of the bottle, pouring and splashing fermented fish sauce all over my kitchen, including the hall way and a
little into the dining room.   Ewwww.  <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/sick.gif" alt="image">

<br>
<br>
Last night my 18 year old cousin came for a visit. He is going to be going to college about 30 minutes away from where we live, so we invited him for dinner
and such.  When he came in the house Bella and Oakley went on high alert.  I told Bella enough and she quickly settled down with Bailey.  Oakley was another
story.  He had all his hackles raised (his tail looked like a bottle brush) and he was... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <blockquote>
  &quot;Often, but not always, Double Merles will have hearing deficiencies. As with Pattern White pups, if the excess white does not affect inner ear
  pigmentationG, they will be able to hear, or have only minimal hearing loss (or possibly only in one ear). It is not possible to tell if a Double Merle dog
  is deaf by looking at any visible hair on the ears (look through our Pictures page for examples). An interesting article is at Clan Duncan Shelties Growl

			<description><![CDATA[ I came across this passage yesterday, from the the book <em>Return to Love,</em> by Marianne Williamson.  I&#39;ve seen it before, but not in a long time, and
it was the perfect antidote to the general feeling of suckiness I&#39;ve had lately.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Last year I bought a Flip video camera.  It has wonderful videos of Jeff, but I cannot get them to download.
<br>
<br>
As I understand it, the Flip can work with both Macs and PCs and can sense which operating software to use.  When I first got my Flip, I hooked it into my
MacBook to charge b/c that was the closest computer I had.   My intention, however, was to download and manage the video files on a PC.  When I tried to
download the files, my PC didn&#39;t recognize the Flip, so I returned... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Jeff walked in the Williamsburg Alzheimer&#39;s Memory Walk today.  It was his first outing to a new place in quite a while.  He did very well.
<br>
<br>
He whined a lot when he saw other dogs, but basically ignored all the humans (hundreds of them).  On co-walker commented that Jeff &quot;didn&#39;t look at a
single person,&quot; which was probably true, and this was at the 1.5 mile mark.  He didn&#39;t shy away from anyone, he just didn&#39;t really care that
anyone was there.  Too many... ]]></description>

In BC most of our salmon are born in rivers, migrate to the ocean, then return to breed. This year the department of oceans and fisheries was predicting 10.5
million sockeye salmon would return (or 8.7 million according to another source). Only about ten percent made it (or seven percent). There seems to be no

could take it and pass right now except for the part where he&#39;s supposed to be petted by a stranger without displaying shyness. Well, he&#39;s hand shy. He
isn&#39;t really a shy dog overall--he&#39;s quite interested in meeting people, but he almost always backs away if they reach out to pet him. Once in a while
