Lately,

jaw dropping +new tunnel .

The tunnel just came in & the new leash from Rush to Tug ! (:

funfunfun.

An outing with Tanner & Derbe.

Crazzzy!

On the way home.

Awwww.

Toothless

Tanner lost the infamous snaggle tooth; but still as happy as ever !
On antibiotics for the next two weeks.

The snaggle tooth. Yum.

Derbe's first day.

Derbe arrived yesterday to stay with us for the rest of the summer! She had a looong day, swimming in the creek, being chased by Tanner, & having a little whippet party with Bailey. Both her & Tanner (camera hog!) were crashed on my bed last night.

Derbe & Tanner (the camera hog!)

All tired out.

More to come!

The boy's a slag

the best you've ever had.


New video, watch (:

Summer plans.

Tanner is back 100% & better than ever.

I recently sent in Tanner's ILP forms to get him registered with AKC.
Summer's coming up & we've got lots of plans, including Derbe coming to stay with us all summer ! As well as agility classes with Sandy Case @ The Dogs' Place, lure coursing fun, playing on the beach, instinct testing, & dock diving classes! 

Summer 2010 here we come!!

His bite is worse than his bark.

I think it gives him character.

Tanner is the February Flappydog.

It pays to be handsome !

Tanner made it on Flappy dog toy's 'Myflappydog' feature page. It's a huge honor! I had sent this photo October 2009, so it was a huge surprise to get an e-mail this morning saying he was to be featured. Plus, they're going to send us more flappy toys, (which was ideal, because he can play with toys again!)

I'm so proud of my pretty boy (:

You can check it out here !

Snow.

Set back, another six weeks.

Wednesday's the day!

Today is the last day, the last day Tanner will have to wear his jaw brace. The day has finally come, and things are looking up for the miracle dog. (:

We drop him off tomorrow, he will go into surgery to get it off, and then we will pick with back up after school is over. Expect lots of pictures!

Fate has brought us this far.

Day 75. 

It's been awhile since I've updated,

Since New Year's Tanner's spirit has truly picked up (maybe a little bit too well,)
We have overcome so many obstacles along the road, and have many more to go, but we made it this far. Nothing can stop us.

He's been able to pick up things, eat soggy puppy kibble, and function as he used to (minus a few things). Just the other week he started back on his "randomly barking mad at mom" phase. He's really using his voice these days, and boy, has his bark gotten deeper, and insanely more annoying. Haha.

Just the other week, walking out onto the agility field with his leash in my hand was felt so reminiscent, for him as well as myself. To think that one day he'll be out here again, doing so much more than we ever dreamed would be capable. He was so lucky, so, so lucky that day, November 7th, 2009. Looking back, the fact he had a chance was bittersweet, now these days, words couldn't describe how thankful I am to have him.

Current inspiration,

the song "I Try" by Macy Gray.
