My current foster dog is a tan Pomeranian mix I named Elli. I can’t tell you how cute and sweet she is. She wants to be with me at all times, and she will be a great companion for the right person. Elli gets along with my mutt Ace, and she does not bother my …

How to kennel train a dog: First, bait the kennel with a very naughty cat. Next, allow the dog to smell the bait … 🙂 If you are going to use a kennel at all with your dog, consistent kennel training is important. Most dogs have at least some anxiety when kenneled. This was the case recently …
I know of runners who don’t train with their dogs. Their reasons surprise me – too hot, too cold, the dog can’t keep up, the dog pulls. To me there is something terribly wrong with these excuses. Dogs are meant to run. As for me, I refuse to leave my mutt Ace behind, even if …

My friend Maren and I won the Fargo half marathon. Both of us. 😉 Unfortunately, no dogs were allowed on the course. I finished the race in about 2 hours and 6 minutes. Not my personal best, but faster than last year.
At about 8 p.m. April 30, Ace and I completed our 101 miles. We reached exactly 101 miles and then quit. We did not even go .01 miles more! My miles were broken down close to this: Walking: 50 miles Running: 30 miles Biking: 21 miles I have to admit, at about 6 p.m. April …
