The Days of Johann - an agility dog!

Hanging around!

Posted: 25 Apr 2009 06:08 AM PDT

Since it finally stopped raining after three days, and the weather turned nice, we got to have some fun outside! Yesterday we got to go on a small little hike down by the river. Super fun, and lots of yummy smells to investigate. Here we are in the car on the way to the river, can't wait!!! (Since it was only a few blocks, Mum let us ride in the back seat, cools!)

When we finally got there, Mum made us sit for a photo. We didn't want to, we were raring to go! But we obliged with some treat persuading!

Here I am on the trail, checkout the cool little wild flowers!

After the hike it was back to work on the 'puter. Here I am with my new little netbook, just the right size for a little guy like me.

Then Gracie and I got in some zoomin' and wrestlin' time. Gracie's gonna need one of those cool cheap wigs after I get done with her, BOL!!

Then it was time for a little love on my target. Hide that thing will ya Mum, I wanna find it!

And just a tad work on my running dogwalk. Mum's lovin' where I'm hitting it!

Then it was time to take a break. Such a nice day I just had to hang out on the patio!

Hope you all have a pawsome weekend! We hope to do more of this today...Woofs!

Dogs protect nearly endangered big cats!

We thought this was pretty cool! Over 250 Turkish Anatolian Shepherd (sheepdog) dogs work with the Cheetah Conservation Fund and farmers to protect sheep and other livestock from the African cheetahs, saving the big cats from potential shootings by offended farmers and potential extinction.

The Cheetah Conservation Fund's Livestock Guarding Dog program has been helping to save the wild cheetah in Namibia since 1994. Working with local farmers and their livestock, the dogs and this program is one of several non-lethal predator management strategies that CCF has developed over the years. With all the hard work they do, bet those pups keep pretty thin, with no need for those Fenphedra pills, BOL!!

The program not only saves the cheetah from being hunted but also creates goodwill between the CCF and the farmers, greatly improving the cheetah's chances for survival.
