AmandaMJL Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi everyone! I stumbled across this forum when looking up some health concerns for a friend's BC. I did some lurking and enjoyed what I was reading so I signed up. My name is Amanda, I live in Nova Scotia with my husband, 6 dogs and 1 cat. I help with animal rescue - mostly dogs, I do some private obedience lessons and help train and compete in flyball. Our 6 dogs are Zoe - a 10 year old yellow lab girl; Chilli - a 6 year old lab mix rescue girl; MOTH (ManOfTheHouse) - a 4 year old red & white BC boy; Jack - a 3 year old black & white BC mix rescue boy; Drama - an almost 2 year old black & white BC girl; and Fluke - a 1 year old BC/aussie mix boy. I look forward to belonging to this board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rave Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Welcome Amanda! I currently do flyball with someone who's originally from Nova Scotia, I wonder if you know her? Her name is Kristie and she probably just ran Bostons back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her name is Kristie and she probably just ran Bostons back then. I do know who she is yes! I used to run on a team called Oceanmark back at that point and she was with Lietash. That was when I started with my yellow lab, Zoe. Small world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someday I will get myself back there in my little cottage by the sea. First must finish growing the children It's really nice here. Lots of running space for the dogs too where we live and lots of swimming places. It's freezing cold today but the water is so calm and pretty! No real complaints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaMJL Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 What a gorgeous bunch! I especially think Chili is adorable. Welcome to the board. Thanks PSmitty. Chilli is a "foster failure". She was not supposed to stay but I couldn't resist her. Chilli & her mother and siblings were left by the mother's "owners" when they moved away. Mom was chained to a dog house with a 6 foot rope, the pups were only just over a week old. The neighbors decided they should feed the Mom (thank god), however after a few weeks some kind of animal was coming into the yard at night and killing the pups, there were bodies strewn every where. By the time they called the local SPCA the pups were about 7 weeks old and had gone from a litter of 9 to a litter of 2. The SPCA took the mom, Chilli & her brother and fixed them up and rehomed them. Chilli was a tough little dog, never mean EVER, but had no clue how to interact with humans. Thankfully my old girl, Zoe, helped with her training big time and she fit in. She's an awesome girl, the best snuggler I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Oop Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 A belated welcome. Very nice looking crew you have! (Especially, the two redheads -- their doppleganger lives at my house) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCjetta Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Welcome! Those are all nice looking dogs. Do you trim their foot fuzz or do they just not have much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaMJL Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Very cute Allie Oop!!! BCJetta, Drama gets what I call "Grinch feet" so hers get trimmed, but the others don't at all... here's Drama getting getting ready to have her grinch feet groomed, as you can tell she's mortified they are so bad LOL: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
