Spring is Sprung Early!

NEWS
     Spring has come early in southern Ontario. After an unusually mild winter, the trend is continuing with spring flush, migratory birds returning and amphibians emerging about 3 weeks early in our locale.
     Despite the early start, it seems that the most recent issue of ONLINE has encountered some delays in the postal service. The Winter 2012 issue was mailed the week of February 27. However, we are hearing reports that many US subscribers are still waiting. Be patient as it is on its way.
     This issue contains articles an advanced setup for all dogs, a discussion of fairness and sportsmanship, understanding and dealing with cruciate injuries, training guidelines, a formula for problem solving, an interview with our featured puppy "Whizzie" on how it's gone so far, and product reviews.

     We still have back issues available for those who renewed recently. These earlier issues are chock full of training and handling information that you can't find elsewhere. Some years are in limited quantities.

How do you say good-bye to a dog like “Tule”?
There have been great dogs, there are great dogs and there will be great dogs . . .
But there will never be another “Tule”.
I struggled all day how to say good-bye. Over the years, my favourite saying to him which was earned so often, was “Good Dog, Tule!”
Tonight, I said “Good Dog, Tule” over and over and for the last time.
