Here at the Presto Dog household, we have a collection of all kinds of things related to our favorite friend, the dog. We have statues, pictures, books, wall hangings, appliques and just about anything imaginable related to the dog.
While surfing around the Internet the other evening, we came across these cute items that we simply gotta have! They're called DOG CHAIN PULLS . They attach to any standard lamp or ceiling fan and are availalbe in just about any breed of dog you can imagine! To see what these items look like, CLICK HERE to see a Shetland Sheepdog chain pull.
Clicking on DOG CHAIN PULLS will take you to Amazon.com where you can get one of these items for yourself in your breed (in the unlikely event you weren't intrigued by the Sheltie item noted above). It's a really neat addition for the dog lover who wants to see an image of their pet just one more time before turning out a light. Why not get one for yourself or the dog lover in your life?

Last Saturday, that'd be 1/13/07, we took the Presto Dog pack to a local state park for some R&R. We do this to give 'em a break from the regular trees, stick, bushes & smells in their own back yard and expose them to some new flora (flowers) & fauna (animals). Granted, we saw very little of the latter during our visit but we had a great time all the same.
There are a variety of trails & paths for visitors to traverse while enjoying the serene forest. Since we had time to kill this day, we took one of the routes that wound its way through the whole of the park and eventually put us on the shore of a lake. Here's a picture of Lily and Declan, two of our three Shetland Sheepdogs, taking a rest with the lake in the background:

We also have a Collie and another Sheltie, named Dougie and Lyric, respectively, that accompanied us on our fun outting at the park. Here's a shot of Lyric in the foreground and Dougie in the background waiting for us to resume our trek:

We eventually completed our vigorous afternoon trip at the park, made our way home and all the dogs took restful naps after the arduous activities they were faced with were completed.

Here at Presto Dog world headquarters, we've re-arranged some of our furniture, added some new chairs and apparently disturbed the lives of our "just so" pack. As we've stated previously, by just so dogs, I'm referring to the fact that everything around the house and yard must be the same or at least remain in exactly the same position or it'll cause a veritable panic among our canine residents. So you can probably imagine where I'm going with this post when I mention we took a bed, mattress and box sping out of one of the bedrooms in our house and placed it next to our shed for its eventual removal by the rubbish company.
This morning, the lady of the Presto Dog household took out Dougie, our tri-color Collie. He was happy & carefree as he usually is, prancing around, picking up sticks and enjoying his outdoor jaunt. That is, until he spotted the aforementioned bed & accompanying mattress & box spring. At that point Dougie took issue with the fact that something in his environment had been moved out of place; he was effectively "spooked." Barking and much trepidation ensued until the offending items were eventually assumed into his world.
Here's a picture of our friend Dougie on the agility pause table he likes to stand on & survey his pack mates:

Oddly enough, the three Shelties who reside in the Presto Dog household ddn't seem too adversely affected by the new addition to their outdoor playground. And here I thought I knew our dogs!

Yup. We've going through yet another weekend and this Presto Dog staff writer is about to allude once again to something that's occurring in the lives of our three Shelties and one Collie that'll have a significant impact on their environment. Now, it's nothing that drastic, but since our pack are all "just so" dogs, or dogs that want things to remain exactly the way they are with no changes at all, any additional lawn ornament, treee pruning or planting of a new bush is met with trepidation and mistrust, to say the least. That said, I'll now move on to a story that deals with stability rather than change.
The semi-world famous Presto Dog photographer was here today and took this shot of sweet Lily who's standing still with "Big" underneath her, one of the balls she loves to chase & bring back to me after I kick it for her:
 Lily and "Big"
The picture doesn't do the ball justice (thank goodness!) 'cause it's a dirty, muddy mess but the whole pack loves playing with it. Once again, it's been around for a couple of years, they've all grown accustomed to it & it's become a favorite for our "just so" dogs.
