Hi!
I stumbled across your website as I am a burgeoning vegan who strives to be gluten free/sugar free! I was shocked to discover that you have a dog that looks like my dogs older sister! Further investigation proved that she is a border collie/lab mix and- down to the white chest, furry tail and lopsy ears- identical to my own fur-child!!
She is gorgeous and so is Chaser! Best of luck and congrats on living with two beautiful fur babies!
Love,
Emilie (& Libby)

Thanks so much, Amy! And I think you’ve captured Chaser’s personality perfectly–hard to believe there’s another one like her out there!

What a beautiful pair of dogs! They caught my eye on your home page because they look very much like my two boys. They’re retriever/Aussie mixes, one all black and the other with shepherd markings just like your Chaser. =) He also has that “always drunk” look! hahaha

Thanks so much, Kate! Your fellow sounds adorable, too. I don’t remember the circumstances of the pleading eye shot (it was a couple years ago), but it’s a fair guess that food was involved.

Love your girls. They’re absolutely gorgeous and should be enough to get you on Ellen. I particularly like the banner on your website with the picture of those 2 sets of pleading eyes – were you holding a tasty treat behind the camera for that shot? My 6 year old greyhound boy is very adept at making little round eyes at me while flopping the tips of his ears forward to make himself ultra adorable when there is food in the offing..
Sadly he is allergic to soy, gluten and all grains so cannot eat Vegan dog food. I feed him a high quality Canadian kibble with plenty of fresh veg and a bit of fruit, and he is doing well on this.
Pats and hugs to your girls.

Your two girls are beautiful! Hope you can find you way to Ellen one day. I went a few years back with my mother-in-law and a couple of her friends. We had a great time.
Regarding dog food, what’s in your dogs kibble or what is the name of it? I’ve always tried to feed our 8 year old lab Cleo the best, but she recently got diagnosed with osteosarcoma…when she was 2 we almost lost her at the age of 2 for unkown reasons so we think she actually was born with a weakness. Anyways I’ve been looking up cancer sites for canines and they recommend high omegas, lower carbs and a good amount of proteins. Cancer feeds on carbs….it’s too late now to save her but we want the best for our 2 year old rescue Ace. Sorry for such a long post.

Hello Ricki, your girls are absolutely beautiful! I love Chaser’s coloring! I read your post of July 11, 2010 and want to thank you very much for it. I am going to start adding in the sweet potatoes and apples. Sometimes I give our Freckles, broccoli and carrots but will also start using the beans and tomatoes. Excellent Post!!!
