Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!
Location: Corinth, New York

The "Santa Attack" reminds me of when the Tooth Fairy "forgot" to visit. I blamed it on the dog sleeping in my daughter's room---said the fairy was probably affraid to come! Poor dog had to sleep in the crate the next night, and the kid scored double to make it up to her! :oops:

Tell us about yourself: I have five dogs: Alex, a chow mix who is now about 14, and four Dutch shepherds (all rescued DS): Ku (Hawaiian God of War), Kane (sounds like "Kahnay"; Hawaiian God of the Sun), Kanaloa (Hawaiian God of the Sea) and Kapua (Hawaiian gods of mischief - the Mischief Makers). Alex is our cheerleader and keeps the 4 DS in line. Three of the DS currently compete in DockDogs and we are trying to convince Lo that water is not evil. Our team name is Hawaiian by Heart which comes from the old joke by my husband that he is "Dutch by blood, Hawaiian by Heart." Our main goal is to promote having fun with your dog (and by doing so becoming partners) and supporting the rescue of the wonderful animals out there in need of homes.

We lost our big lady, Kelley, in May 2012 to cancer and she joins several other angel dogs who are now watching over us.

Here's a photo for you done Colorado style...Santa Ku on his "sled" with his reindeer Kelley (left) and Alex. No luck getting a Santa hat to stay on him and Kelley and Alex are both blind (Kelley is almost completely deaf too) so this was an entertaining photo session! I'm sure our neighbors think we are completely nuts.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and happy and healthy holiday season.

I took pictures last weekend, but they came out blurry because there wasn't enough battery to use a flash. :( Was thinking of trying again this weekend. It was a lot of work because I had all three dogs dressed.
