Video Collection: Doggies in the Snow

Posted 09-01-2008 at 08:12 AM by skunkstripe
Just because there is snow on the ground doesn't mean we don't go outdoors. On the contrary, snow can be a lot of fun to romp around in! These were all taken in the woods on our property.

Video Collection: Let's go for a Hike

She had a nice passage about turning on the TV and finding ballgame after ballgame, suggesting that this is something else we have in common.

Sophia's Story part VI: One Happy Golden

There is a saying that Golden Retrievers think that life is a party thrown especially for them. Once Sophia came out of her shell and became a DOG as opposed to a fearful ball of red fur, she proved that saying to be true for her.

She got to be pretty good at retrieving and swimming. So much so that I sometimes wondered if she wouldnt have made a good hunting dog. I remember very well one time in February when I was with her near a river. There were ice chunks on top of it and the...
