Um…. Ok. What the hell do those two things have to do with each other? Turns out, the what to do when all hell breaks loose is pretty much the same for both. When I went rafting a long time ago, one of the safety tips they gave was, “if you fall out of the boat; try to go down …
New Toy!!!!
Yes!!!! 3 Bad Bullies just got our hands on a brand new Kickbike Cross Max! These things scream to be pulled by dogs. They are stable, and have shocks like a mountain bike. So, they can totally handle off road rough housing. But, they’re super easy to step off of if things get squirrely….. Which, with dogs pulling you off …
Sapolsky: Science Of Reward
Dr. Robert Sapolsky is the coolest scientist EVER! Although, most of his research is applied to understanding humans…… The science is taken from, and can be applied to all animals.

A Little Sunday Humor
We were supposed to foster Jax. Yeah….. That didn’t work. He’s staying. His new Grandmother didn’t want us to bring him over, because she didn’t want to get too attached. But once we decided to adopt him. The next step was introducing him to his Grandparents. This was taken when we told Jax he was going to Grandma’s for the …
3 Bad Bikjoring Bullies
We officially adopted Jackson (the little brindle/blue bull with cropped ears you see in a lot of our photos). And, because I plan on doing a lot of sledding/skijoring this winter, I need to get him up to speed! Off to the trails we go! Oh yeah! There’s about 3/4 of a mile of a deep sand shoulder on our …

Figured out the other conditioning. Not the “ring a bell- make you salivate” of Classical Conditioning fame. But the WAY less understood “Operant Conditioning”.
