Val -- comparison was Wilderness duck (http://www.bluebuffalo.com/dog-food/wilderness-duck ) and Blue Buffalo Large breed puppy ( http://www.bluebuffalo.com/dog-food/lp-puppy-large-breed-chicken ) not the other one. I'm working on an MBA with a marketing major and still fall for marketing ploys sometimes ...well, okay ... lots of times lol
Nothing that I was saying was an absolute "you must do this or it's a disservice to your dog" ... it was merely, this is what I found (which is what we're all working with, right -- what each of us has found worked for us based on our experiences? I'd assume if we all had all the answers singularly, none of us would be on this site to seek and bounce questions and answers off each other) for the information to be taken and dealt with as seen fit and hopefully to the benefit of our dogs.
Claudia - <3 <3 <3 the pics

My goodness, who knew Storm could be so overbearing?! Can't say that I blame her for sticking to under the chairs! Just you wait G&S, won't be long before she's a big girl!
Awesome videos Claudia! Thanks for sharing.

Tori, it's pretty nasty.. and if you're wondering why my cast is a hot mess, it's because I tried cutting it off, hahaha.. bad idea.. going to get it removed by orthopedics tomorrow.. don't mind how nasty I look, a broken ankle, busted knee, throwing up 8 hours straight the previous day + hardly sleeping and eating since I broke my ankle = hot mess.
Here are my pics and my video! I loved watching them! It was 100% worth the drive with a bum leg! She hasn't tried to play with Koda much, she's been scared and so Koda backs off.. she came home and harrassed Koda to death! G&S did her well! We got tons of puppy food samples, lots of chews for her, a cute owl collar, toys, and CLAUDIA AND I WERE SO STOKED ON THIS- an ice cream/popsicle tray in dog bone shapes with 4 different formulas to make some cool treats! Woohoo!
LINK TO VIDEO: Storm, Ginger and Rogue
She is the perfect addition to our family and I am so happy with her! Sort of sucks I get her when I can't go on walks or move around too much, but she's worth wanting to die going down the stairs every 3 hours!

He likes to follow little dogs and puppies around! Not sure what his fascination with little dogs are, but I was told when he went into foster care, he lived with 7 little dogs! The funny thing is, Storm just wanted to sniff her and when she finally figured it out, she told him!
(Heather, I want to buy a camera like yours as a point-and-shoot!)

Oh, and those of you wondering, Koda was not present as Jarod ended up staying home because he wasn't feeling well- no way could I have handled them both with my leg.. this little one already tries to trip me all on her own! But he gets to stay with Ginger and Storm Wednes-Fri so
Claudia, the P&S is the same one Val has.. Canon S95 I think! It's about $400 but takes photos slightly comparable with an SLR if you mess with the settings, which 99% of the time I am too lazy to do. I love my SLR but it's too much to lug around! My favorite photo is them both under the chair with their mouths open.. Jarod says that Rogue loves Storm and I agree! They really helped her get over being a puss with Koda, as the first thing she did was come home and try to start crap with him!

G&S absolutely LOVED their bone shaped ice pops!
We're due for another camera, and it seemed small enough to be a 'pocket' camera. I'll eventually get a really nice one but I just haven't had time to check out other cameras other than the one Kristina has.

Claudia, don't get my wrong I love my DSLR but it's so convenient to have something small like that Canon S95! Often times I just won't take pictures because of the fact that my camera is such a big thing to lug around. I love it, it's amazing... but I wish it could shrink sometimes! lol
And Rogue is the cutest thing ever, i'm so jealous of all you CO people... getting to have a puppy around Her red is so deep! Ah, she's gorgeous.

A long time ago, I had a really nice Nikon and used to play with photos a lot. So I know what it's like to have a nice camera but the hassle of it being bulky. My plan is to have both - a nice DSLR and a good P&S. In all honesty, a nice P&S that's not too bulky would be ideal - if I can justify a nice DSLR, that'd be next....

...and I believe we've decided to have it a private dog park...like City Bark or Earth Dog...or Fairground Regional Dog park (I'll have to confirm they in fact do private parties)...
