I miss my dog-training days and love spending time with all sorts of furry canines. Also, if you are ever in Vermont and need a place to board: http://www.kirbymountainkennels.com is where I used to work. John and Wendy (my previous bosses) are fantastic and oh-so-great in their work. Oh, Trent, if you ever need a dog sitter, I will gladly volunteer.

Phil sends me Athena updates from time to time as I'm currently existing without German Shepard supervision, and he knows I understand all too well the Shepard mind... And the only thing I'd be afraid of is that she'd lick me to death!! I usually try to approach shepards doing their people walking, dragging their charges along; both people and pups are usually appreciative of the attention. Wendy Dr. Phil’s sister here…

We do try to talk to her on the phone sometimes, but it appears as though she thinks we're <i>in</i> the phone and wants us to come out. She definitely recognizes our voices though. And she barks at my brother's dog in Zurich when we Skype. Happily for Athena, we're going to be so friggin' broke after this trip that we won't be going anywhere for awhile after this...

(Or how we imagined it would be going, seeing as the clips were pre-recorded.) It seemed to help. He wasn't as distraught by the time we returned as he'd been after the first trip. But then, he also wasn't a dog. Being a dog is harder.

Whether it's bringing you toys while you're trying to work or barking as loud as she can at the treat bowl, she is most definitely always up to something. This dog is quite often up to something.

I think the scarf softens the look; it's paisley for crying out loud. But I think that in the bottom photo she looks a bit <i>too</i> much like a Hungarian immigrant c. 1912, if you know what I mean. That dog must be up to something. Definitely a threat. I wouldn’t fear the dog in the top photo. I think the scarf softens the look; it’s paisley for crying out loud.
