Park Pix
As mentioned in the post below, we took the Presto Dog pack to a park this afternoon. Once there, I took the part of the semi-world famous Presto Dog photographer and snapped a few pictures of the pack as they enjoyed their day.

Here's a picture of three our Shetland Sheepdogs, Lyric (grabbing a cookie), Lily (hoping the cookie'll drop to the ground) and Declan, as we were providing them with a few treats:

You can see the dogs' portable water bowl in the picture, also. I try to leave out no detail when I take these shots, let me tell you!

And, while looking through some other pictures that were on the card in my camera, I came across this one taken of Dougie, our tri-color Collie, taken a few weeks ago:

He was standing out in the elements; the temperature was a mere 5 or 10 degrees, with the wind chill factor considered. But, Dougie is impervious to the weather; he has no mercy to the humans who might need to walk him outside.

Herding Group (Mini) Holiday
We're taking Presto Dog's four members of the canine Herding Group, consisting of three Shetland Sheepdogs and a Collie, for a trip to a local County park in a little while. If you're a repeat visitor to this Presto Dog web site, you probably know that such an adventure usually results in the posting of pictures of our pack.

And so we will. The semi-world famous Presto Dog photographer won't be able to make the trip with us, so that means it'll be up to yours truly (that's me!) to capture the moments that'll show up here either later this afternoon/evening. I have yet to complete some of the orders that I need to ship out tomorrow to my wonderful customers at eBay, where we auction agility equipment. So I'll need to really take it up a notch or two in order to get updates posted here later today, but try I will.

Clicking here will take you to the equipment we sell here on Presto Dog. By the way, we maintain a 100% customer satisfaction rating from our customers on eBay, so you can rest assured that the equipment we make is really top quality stuff! Here's where you can read our eBay feedback.

So, I gotta go and pack the dog crates, leashes and assorted other items (dog cookies!) we need when we make such a journey so the pack can be comortable. And once we get back, we'll be able to post new pictures instead of recycling the ones you've probably noticed recently here on Prest Dog.

See? We know when we've been bad to our readers!

Muddy Days
The situation can cause fear, trepidation and angst in the hearts of all dog owners. It can reduce Mr. Clean to a whimpering mass of tears and frustration, take the Joy out of boxes of Cheer, and leave a container of Tide high 'n dry. What is this cataclysmic event that can wreak such havoc on a household? Why, the dreaded mud season, of course.

After the homestead received several inches of rain on huge barren areas that was once a lush green lawn, our four dogs (Lyric, Lily & Declan, all Shelties and a tri-color Collie named Dougie) are now able to create fantastic sprays of mud all over themselves, have their feet thoroughly encrusted in the stuff and overall make our lives miserable in that we need to clean 'em off before we dare let 'em venture back into the house once again.

The back porch where we perform our cleaning ritual looks like one of those scenes from a cleaning product commercial where some smiling housewife is laughing to herself 'cause her kids were playing in puddles and now she's got to clean them up before they mess her house. We somehow don't find the humor in this situation.

We await the lingering presence of the sun god Ra, who will soon shine down upon puddles and mud, drying up all as rays of warm, golden sunshine emblazon across the landscape.

Until then, we gotta suck it up and perform the back-breaking job of cleaning the pack that must "go out" every few hours, most of the time to simply get caked with mud all over again!

Deckie the Reclining Chair OWNER
A couple of weeks ago or so, I posted an article here on Presto Dog about Declan, one of our three Shelties, who liked to crawl up into my lap as I sat in our living room recliner. I believe I alluded to the fact that he was exerting his alpha dog tendencies in that by performing this action, he could get closer to me than his mother, Lyric, who also possesses the alpha dog trait.

Here's a few shots of Declan:

As a few more days have transpired since I first wrote about this matter, I have re-thought my initial feelings on the dog's behavior and have come up with the real meaning of the activity in question. Here's the background of why I've had this epiphany...
