A Day in the Life of a Mutt: 04/01/2009

About Me... and my mutts.

I love dogs. They kinda control my life. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I live in Wisconsin... the frozen tundra... I'm not always sure how I feel about that. Mushing might preserve my sanity.

I love to take pictures, but I'm not always all that good at it.
I am a weekend kitchen warrior, but I'm not always so good at that either.
I'm a treehugger. I don't apologize for it.

I have a degree in Environmental Policy & Planning but I have yet to get a "real job".

Words I try to live by:

A life lived without passion is a life not truly lived.

Live, and let live. Tread lightly. Love all.

De Omnibus Dubitandum

I have a German Shepherd mix named Bailey. He was a complete mess when I got him. He's taught me darn near everything I know. Everything important, anyway. Our lives together have been quite the adventure. We're lucky to have each other. Bailey will be 13 in May.

I have an Alaskan Husky-type mix named Lilly. She's one of the sweetest dogs I know, and a total Mama's girl who adores me (which I completely love). She is the first dog I will have the opportunity to compete with and we're having a blast giving Rally a try. Lilly is approximately 5 this year.

Mendel is the new guy in the pack. Named after Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, he's my first show dog. He's teaching me a number of things including: handling in conformation, grooming a dog with serious coat, and remembering to pick my crap up off the floor on a regular basis. You're liable to be inundated by cute pictures of him should you decide to stick around.

If you want to learn more about Mendel or the other Samoyeds we hang with, be sure to check out my Photo 51 Samoyeds page. If anything we did around here could be considered "important business" - that's where you'd find it.

I have two cats, Tigger and Leo, who try my patience... daily.

This is our story.

Or at least part of it...
