Houndbags through the air

Well its still winter and at least that makes it easier to sit inside on the computer in front of the heater, although not quite as close as Layla sits to it.  We have just done a quick trip over to New Zealand to participate in a Pet Expo in Hamilton.  What beautiful country side, its a green I forgot existed.  So we had a few interesting experiences over there that I would not like to repeat but...thats life.  Great people more than made up for it though and we should have a list of NZ stockists up on our website soon.  I was shocked to learn from several dog breeders and owners in NZ that there is a horrid increase in thefts of small dogs to be used in the dog fighting  industry.  I hate even writing about it, but if we remain ignorant how can we help to make change.  Legislation on animal cruelty and neglect needs to be toughened even further with zero tolerance to such acts.  im sorry to end on this note, because for most of us the degrees of seperation of even knowing someone involved in this is huge, but find out ways to help make change where you can.
From me and the big dog, who when walking this morning got chased by a little fluffy dog.  She shot in front of me looking like she had been chased by an elephant,  Layla wants to make fun not fight!!!!
