As Barbara has said in her previous post “World’s Best Pet Sitter”, Tanner had a seizure last night around 11:30 PM. Well, he had another one about 12 hours later which made me a bit nervous but I somewhat thought that maybe my saddened mood had triggered it. I was doing a quick [...]

I talked to Dr. Porter this afternoon and he said that Ballet passed away this morning. He went back and checked on her and she was awake and everything, then he went up front for a little bit and when he went back into the back to check on her she had passed. [...]

Crud. We’re here in Bucharest, getting ready to leave our hotel to take the subway to the train station.
And Amanda just phoned us, crying. She had just gotten a phone call from Cottonwood Animal Hospital saying that Ballet has died. Amanda wasn’t positive when it happened — at first, she said "last night", but thought [...]

You will not believe what Amanda, our world-class pet sitter has had to deal with in the last 24 hours. I can hardly believe it. On top of that she’s handled it all beautifully!
I think it started with Ballet having to be rushed to the vet’s office where she was quickly recognized as [...]

When I took the dogs outside to go potty after dinner Ballet threw-up 3 times outside. She still hasn’t eaten anything since Wednesday night. Since she [...]

While Jim and Barbara are out for three weeks, I am taking care of the dogs at their house. Well, leaving wasn’t very easy for them…actually it never really is, but this time was exceptionally hard. They left here knowing there was a good chance that Ballet won’t be here when they get [...]

No, there’s nothing really new to report, but I haven’t blogged in a few days. I’ve been spending my time catching up with my absurdly overwhelming day job, plus trying to make sense of the financial and inventory data that we brought back from the National.
Barbara, on the other hand, spent one day recovering from [...]

We spent a long weekend at the Utah Beehive cluster dog shows and the local Utah Shetland Sheepdog Association specialty shows.
It is a ton of work! Putting on any dog shows is no simple task. Things go wrong, things go right. There is drama and excitement, sadness and pettiness, elation and [...]
