Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Fun pictures! We're taking a XC ski lesson (mainly for me since I'm a snowboarder) on Wednesday. I'm hoping the remainder of this winter season we'll be able to squeeze in at 2 more skijoring weekends with Ginger and Storm. The first time out, they were naturals and instinctly knew what to do almost immediately. BTW, have I mentioned that Appa is so handsome?? He looks a little tired in that last picture, but it's still a pretty cute pic! _________________ |

| Bet that was a blast. Goodness he's big. Love the contrast between the two of them. |

| Jealous. That looks like a great time!
Ha! He is so much bigger than that other dog. What is the other dog? |

| Wow, looks like you guys had a great time! I can't wait to move north so I can do that stuff too. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014 |

| It WAS a blast, and he really got into it, so I assume he had a good time as well. When Appa really got into it it was something to behold, the guy running the class asked if I plan on racing him, he thinks he could win some races. I don't plan on it.
I Claudia, I do believe you mentioned that before, but you can again. He is a handsome fella'.
The other dog is a husky-mutt. Crazy full of energy but knew what it was doing for sure. However, it was distracted easier than I imagined, which I thought strange for a seasoned race dog. Maybe I expect too much of Appa, or that dog was having an off day? There were times Appa was trying to keep the course and that dog was trying to sniff a bush or something. |

That's a huge compliment! You must be so proud of Appa! |

| Wish I could get Bodhi and Appa together. I've been told dogs learn to skijor by chasing another dog.
Glad to see there's snow in Utah. I'll be in Sandy on Weds. to ski and I have been worried by snow reports for Cottonwood Canyon. |

| Ha! I work in Sandy. The weather has been pretty awful all year, but the Cottonwoods just got some snow last night and are going to get a few more inches this week. Yeah, I'm excited about a few inches ... clearly a bad year. There's no snow in the valley, this was over in park city where they are a little more blessed.
Bodhi + Appa could be a lot of fun. Appa does learn from the other dogs much faster than from me, but sometimes it's just he and I so we do our best. |
