This company provides me with the best possible meat on earth...& it is shipped with the planet-friendly low-impact Cordova cooler. High-quality food. High-quality cooler. One cannot go wrong here! Thanks Idahound! Its a strange society, when one is compelled to walk one's dog with accoutrements of weaponry: pepper spray, a baseball bat, a large stick, a loaded gun, a recorded recitation of the dog ordinance. All of the above.
My ideal dog walking tackle is: a fire extinguisher...this can solve countless problems...(let your imagination roam); a loaded (& permitted) gun...; pepper spray...& my bag pipes. Just kidding. On my walks I encounter 2 distinct types of hominids, they are listed below in order of intellectual development. THE UNWITTING SOUL: This is the person of a conscientious nature (likely from another country) (& century). This person muzzles their dog when walking on-lead (& off of their property). They do this because in fact, no one can vouch for the actions of their dog 100% of the time. No one. And this dog person recognises reality & respects all human life! However, how does the muzzled dog defend herself when attacked by the loose dogs which populate every neighourhood under the sun (& rain)...(despite leash laws which were developed by majority vote)? She doesn't. She'll be ripped to shreds. Right in front of you, her owner...& any other unfortunate witnesses. And because animals are considered "property"...the "owner" of the dog will receive compensatory damages associated with the purchase price of their dog &/or vet bills associated with the attack. But, there will be no sentimental damages or emotional duress damages associated with a judgment. Nope, not unless one hires Gerry Spence. THE RIGHTEOUS MIND-READER: This self-proclaimed "Dog Whisperer" will actually address on-coming walkers in 3rd-person/dog "Oohh...I wanna play! I do tricks! I'm not aggressive! Wow! Whoa! I'm a little agitated! Oooh don;t look at me like that!" Then said dog will drag his person across the street with hackles up & attack. The Whisperer then shouts: "Oh...wow...he has NEVER done THAT before...your dog must have challenged him...who is your vet? Please don't report this. Bailey is special-needs. He is a rescue. He was a very rare breeding & show dog & came from a puppy mill".... & etc...etc... If we muzzled every dog that left it's property under the custody of a human being...we would not have dog bites, I guess this is too reasonable a thing to bring forth as an ordinance. If we muzzled every human that left it's property under the custody of a dog...oh damn. I guess this is too reasonable a thing to bring forth as an ordinance. Are these not lovely Mongolian dogs? Obviously dogs of the trade route! Click the image to visit the preservation project. Perhaps make a donation! Click here to visit Gunner's site...namely, their crash tests. They make a crate for almost any size of beastie. Those that travel everywhere with their person, definitely need a dedicated crate strapped into the car. Because I can guarantee you that there is a multi-tasking person driving in your vicinity right now! They are: driving, texting, taking a selfie, drinking a double macchiato/soy/low-fat/extra caramel Frappucino....doesn't that make you want to procure a travel crate with cutting-edge crash-testing R&D? This is what happens when dogs are bred into a complete state of dysfunction & depravity due to our nature to caricaturise characteristics which we note per breed. Such as, in this case, the stalk of a Shep-herd. Select paintings by the illustrious, one & only Louis Agassiz-Fuertes. I hope you love them!10/20/2019
February 7, 1874-August 22, 1927; Born in Ithaca NY. A scholar unparalleled! I love the expressions found in the fabulous animals he painted. Known of course, as the ornithologist premiere. Agassiz-Fuertes was an artist whose extraordinary work is loved & revered by animal lovers & birders planet-wide...(& probably elsewhere). He died tragically in a car accident which seriously injured his wife(she survived). By good fortune, the paintings he was carrying within the vehicle, survived unscathed. As an interesting aside, the paintings were later purchased by Suydam Cutting. Mr. Cutting wrote "The Fire Ox and Other Years" (a travelogue which I love...) & imported some of the first (& most important) Lhasa Apsos into the USA, founding the superb Hamilton Farms...a breeding program which impacted Lhasa Apsos everywhere, forever. Today, "pure-Hamilton" is the coveted etymology of a very rarely parted with pearl. But...back to Agassiz-Fuertes...what an astounding individual on every level.
Kuranda's all-aluminum bed, beloved by my dogs & grandchildren, is the bees knees! Easily accomodating up to 250 lbs of dawg...this beautifully crafted cot-bed is yielding & superb for keeping dogs off of drafty floorage. 2-leggeds & 4-leggeds will fight for the right to delight in reclining...all supine & floppy on this last-a-lifetime bed.

Me...I can attest to her exceptional skills as an animal communicatress. If you need a direct line into your dog's mind...Bea charges a nominal fee & she will astound you. It was Mr. Plummer (below) that enthralled me with ferreting. Of course, the balance of nature must be maintained. Thus, we have this swift resolution to population management of rabbits & vermin....& we have it in lieu of tortuous poisoning.
