Just Some Thoughts

Well, it is Monday afternoon and it is beginning to wind down. The weekend went well. It was definitely nice to have my wife back home. We spent much time with the dogs. Sheba had a vet check-up so we went to that and she put on some pounds. She was always hovering around that 60# marker. Well, she tip the scale at 76#. She is the rottweiler/black and tan coonhound mix. She is slender, fast and all muscle. We love watching her run. If we had some land she could run to her hearts content.
She loves to chase the tennis ball and bring it back. She will even "play soccer" with it. Not too long ago I gathered some sticks together and held one up to see if Sheba would run and jump to grab it. She did not disappoint. She jumped just like a champion jumper (whatever that means).

Saturday after the vet appointment Sandra and I took Cody and Sheba to a new place to check it out. It is a running track that belongs to a school. It is open to the public when school is not in session. We walked there with them and even ran a bit. It think Sheba is going to love it there. We used to go to the dog park, but we had some bad experiences with people and their dogs - some people think it is cute and funny to see their dog being rude and aggressive. I even had a guy cuss me out and yell at me for protecting myself and a dog we were getting out of a rather bad situation. I had enough and chose to go elsewhere.
I would really like to find about 2-5 acres so that my dogs can have more area to run. Also, I would love to put a shelter up where I could take in rescue rotties. I could then rehab them, find new homes or even help current rottie owners on how to train their dog and be the alpha. So if anyone had land to donate... :)
