Off The Bench

Apr 3, 2013 | Eddie

I Ain’t Foolin – She Reverted

Apr 1, 2013 | Dream

Oy Vey! Dream is testing my nerves to the twelfth power. I honestly have never had such a hard time getting a dog lead broken! She reverted back to a pulling statue on our last day of the camping trip and for the life of me, I have no idea what is setting her back....

Not Taking The Lead

Mar 1, 2013 | Dream, Showing Chihuahuas
