Pamela Dennison's Blog
August 16, 2009
- I have been thinking about this a great deal lately. Did I choose my dogs because, well, just because, or did I know on a subliminal level, that they each harbor a trait of mine, or vice versa? Did they pick me because of the same thing?I have three Border collies, all very different in looks, personality, ages, sex, manners.Beau is the more timid of the three, preferring to stay on the outer ...

- Last Friday, I was walking with Anna, my three dogs (Emma, Beau, Shadow) and her one dog (Spring) all off leash at the park. It was pouring rain, but they all needed the exercise, so we donned rain gear and walked. We weren't really paying attention to our dogs all that much and were looking down (because of the aforementioned monsoon). All of a sudden, I saw what looked like an altercation ...

- I got the call way back in 2002 from my agent Jacky Sach, telling me that my book idea was accepted! I was on cloud 9! I called all of my friends and relatives and anyone else that I had a phone number for. I was on my way to becoming a *real* published author!!!! Holy smokes!!!!! Then....reality hit. Oh my god! I now had to write the thing! And in only 10 weeks! That's right folks - 10 weeks - ...

- At this point, you all know that I am in either peri-menopause or menopause <g> I am not going to waste my money on blood work right now, because in any case it really doesn't matter. My ob-gyn wanted to put me on drugs. Not going to happen. I have learned a great deal in the past few months that I really wanted to share with you, so that you may possibly find relief. With the help of a ...

- I am very proud to announce that I have another new DVD! "Training the Whistle Recall" is available for sale now. Right now they are only available through me. It was fun doing a single topic DVD for a change and I am getting better at not messing up my "lines." Not that I really have a script, but I always get nervous doing my introduction. On the first take of the intro, I ...

- I think I was a Border collie in my previous life...or maybe a terrier. Once I get hooked on something, I get hooked! I went to a Friday night social this evening at the ballroom dancing studio (www.classicballroom.com) and while I was very nervous about going, I am glad I did. It is obvious to me that I still only know the basic steps of a few dances, but I saw some moves by the other students ...

- I just re-read this tonight after doing a phone interview for an article that is going to be in Dog Fancy (it is on my website on the articles page www.positivedogs.com ) and thought I would share it here as well. I hope you all enjoy it!In the Good Old Days by Pamela Dennison © 2004 May not be reprinted without written approval. Why was it so much easier ...

- Isn't there is a song with those lyrics? I just had my 3rd ballroom dancing lesson today and I have to say, I am really liking it. For 45 minutes, the world goes away and in this economy, that can be a very good thing. One simply can't spend 24/7 worrying or menopausing and stay healthy. I also found that the little bit of fencing I did a few years ago, came in handy today for learning new steps ...

- To top off the symptoms they don't tell you about when going through menopause is to STAY AWAY FROM CHECKBOOKS AT ALL COSTS!I plused when I should have minused and almost had a disaster when I found my accounting to be $2,000. higher than the bank's accounting. My cell phone has been missing for about a week - couldn't find it anywhere until just this minute when I couldn't find my credit card ...

- Just shoot me now, okay? Not to get too personal, but for the past 4 years, I have been having cycle problems. I tried everything I could to stop the damn thing - no go. I finally almost bleed to death - literally (so bad that I ended up in the ER and after 10 hours of trying to stabilize me, I was still hemoraghing and had to have an emergency D&C) and there was really no other option. I had ...

- Don't get me wrong. I love dogs. I live with them, train them and helping people train their dogs is what I do for a living and have since 1996. However, it is easy to become very one-sided and over the years, I have forgotten how to be a human being with other interests.I tend to watch the same movies over and over again (I don't get regular TV and haven't watched it in over 7 years) and am ...

- Actually that is an insult to the dogs I know <g>. So, easy come, easy go. David is no longer in my life - yeah I know, that was quick. Don't ask. (JERK...his loss)But...I am heartened. For years after my divorce I thought a new relationship was going to be out of the question for me because of Shadow's aggression. Now I know that he can warm up to new people (and not only warm up but ...

- Just when I thought Shadow couldn't improve any more, he surprises me! A few days ago, I had surgery. Because I didn't want David (you remember David - the love of my life :o)) to have to go back and forth all day on Friday, I had my friend Suzanne come to the house a few times to care for the dogs. She met them on Thursday just for a few minutes. Shadow was fine with her instantly (Suzanne rides ...

- As you all know, in October I went to speak at the APDT conference in Australia and had to leave my dogs with my friends John and Cynthia in Ontario Canada (I live in NJ) for 10 days. To say I was completely and utterly stressed would be an understatement. I had never left Emma, Beau and Shadow* for that long and while I knew they would be fine and safe, me, being the worrier that I am, ...

- http://www.positivedogs.com/aussie_trip.htmlthis is the link to my website for the slide show. I did remember some of this stuff, but Pauline and Jacki came to my rescue for most of the captions. Have I mentioned lately how wonderful those 2 women are???Reading through this blog a few times and looking at the pictures quite a few times, I could very much do this again and (hopefully) won't be ...
