Dueling Jillie vid Jillie doesn't need another dog to duel with. She'll duel with whatever's in her way. |
Mike, I love your videos! This definitely put a smile on my face. Jillie such a sweetheart. Thanks for getting my day started on a good note. :) |
Oh, What FUN!!! Makes me feel like a kid again! Your pups are beautiful! |
Great video . Jillie is so cute . |
Loved the video! Jillie's personality just shines through every thing she does! I'm totally in love with her along with the handsome Eddie. |
Omgosh, That gave me a giggle! Jillie is so cute!! |
I just love this little girl...she is all attitude...:D:p:D |
She is just one ball of energy, isn't she? What a cutie! |
She is amazing. Life with her must be a ball. A Diva in Blue Jeans. Thanks Mike. |
I've always said that it's the owner who brings out the personality of their pets - and you certainly do that Mike (& Kelly)!!! I always end up with a huge smile on my face after watching your videos. You find the simplest things and make them heartwarming and funny. Thank You! Jillie is adorable!!! :2hearts2: |
the world is her oyster! Loved it! She is certainly keeping you all on your toes.:) |
AH! The snow covered baby!! TOO CUTE!! |
Thanks everybody! :) It just amazes me that a less-than-4-pound dog frolics in the snow like that. |
Oh, and a question for everybody: Do you think that's too strenuous of activity for a 7 1/2-month-old? I've always heard you shouldn't start any dog out in agility until their growth plates close, but when I look at her in the deep snow, I wonder if that should fall under the same guideline. I'm inclined to think yes. I didn't really notice it until I saw the video of her in the thick snow. Fortunately, she wasn't out for long any one time. That video was compiled from three short trips outside. She was in the thick stuff for no more than 5 minutes. Still ... |
Another cute video!!! Thanks for sharing. Sorry, I don't have the answer to your question. I have tried bringing Cassi out in the snow last year, but she just stood there and wouldn't budget at all. So I ended up bringing her right back in. :p |
Too Cute... lol Thanks for the video... ha ha This just made my day. Too Cute... I have a little one... she's cold in 60 degree weather.. I'm still laughing.. Have a great day and thanks again for sharing.. Kathleen.. Mom To My Little Girls: Punken Pie :doghop: and Breese Be Be :littleang RIP: My Lil Ol Tuffy :lovewings |

just love your video she is so cute :) |
Adorable!! I can't wait for the "snow" here. Bandit likes it, but this will be Nala's first winter and I have a feeling she'll LOVE it! |
Great Video!!!! Great Dog!!! About growth plates... in horses we had to wait for them to turn 2 years old before they could be expected to carry any weight for an extended length of time, and/or do a gentle gallop...not to be pushed to run hard due to concussion injuries to the legs. So I researched a bit for dogs ... site wouldn't allow cut and paste so here's the link: Growth Plates Basically says to xray to be sure, spayed females may take longer for their plates to close due to the early change in hormone levels, and jump training would be only over something on the ground... no height until the growth plates are definitely closed... I think playing in the snow or anywhere is fine, just don't push them to perform or run or jump to their limit, or allow them to play too hard or to weakness/exhaustion. A good topic to discuss with your vet...as he/she would be more familiar with the conditions where you live and what dogs can be expected to do in those conditions, and what to be aware of and watch out for. (or your agility trainer)(or both):confused::D |

And I'm thinking injuries from deep snow would be more from pulled or strained muscles in the legs, shoulders and back from having to pull oneself up and out as opposed to injuries from jumping onto a firm surface or landing wrong or too hard causing damage to the growth plates as they may be forced to meet before nature intended, and then causing uneven growth in the affected bones making the dog potentially lame or worse for life. IMHO, anytime a dog struggles as in a panic situation there is increased danger of some injury happening. I've had mine get tangled in briar bushes and start to really freak out, and of course I'm thinking of eyes getting poked out by branches and/or thorns and a zillion other horrible images. So they have learned when in a situation to wait for me to help them, to not struggle and make things worse, except when falling off the pier into the water, they've actually been so relaxed and confident that I was coming to get them that they stop swimming... but not for too long...:D |
Too adorable! :) |
Great video and the music matched perfect! :) |
What a cute video! Wow, she does really well in the snow.. (But I guess she has to get accustomed to it because you live in Alaska!) I took Jimi out in the snow for the second time today, and he had trouble with it because he kept sinking, lol. :p He was walking like there was something wrong with his leg. |

It helps to shovel off an area or stomp it down so he doesn't sink. Picking up feet is why I use booties. Once they get used to them, they don't get as cold and don't feel the need to lift up their feet. But it can be an effort getting them used to booties. Often, they'll figure out the cold isn't that bad and will do fine without them. Good luck! And don't' forget pics! |
She is so cute! I always love your videos! |

Hehe, I am working on the video thing! :) I have made a few and put them on youtube.. I don't know how to add music though, and I hate how loud the video comes out every time. And about the booties- do you have a brand that you could recommend to me? |

Oh, and if you order off the site, the 3xs work great for 4-pound Jillie. Eddie, at 10 pounds, is sort of in between 3xs and 2xs. He can wear either. The velcro on the 3xs is snugger, but the 2xs seem to fit him better. |
