A Day In The Life - Raising Malamutes

Don't get me wrong - I love my malamutes.  I have a 9-month-old puppy in training (The Griffin) and an 8-year-old rescued malamute.  Both are the loves of our lives but on any given day, we can go from zero to chaos in 60 seconds.  This is just one such typical day.

Find My Family - A Panacea or a Pandora's Box?

For the most part, I believe in the show Find My Family and the ideals that it seems to uphold.  However, in my case, I got a mixed bag when I went looking for my biological father when I turned 30.  I had a medical need to know situation and although it did not turn out as I had hoped or expected, I still have to say to this day that it was a positive experience because it did in fact give me a measure of the closure I so desperately needed regarding why he walked away.

Clicker Training and Practical Applications

I have been training my malamute puppy for some time now and started clicker training about a month ago.  However, recently, I had an experience with Griffin that demanded instant release of an object (as in a huge piece of glass he had in his mouth).  This hub illustrates the positive effects of good clicker training and how it might have prevented a horrible outcome.

Also links to my original clicker training hub.

City Slicker Meets Camping 101

When my husband and I were first dating, he was mad about camping and since I was mad about him, I decided to try it and see if I could 'grasp' it - with varying results over the years.  However, as in most things, you always remember 'your first' experience and this was a nightmare.  Oh well - I lived through it with humorous stories to tell afterwards.  Also included in my tale is a hilarious video from youtube on camping.

Prime Rib Slow Cooker Chili

If you are looking for a super simple, tried and true recipe for chili, this is it!  You can also eliminate the meat and just make as a vegetarian chili as well or try some of the other suggested substitutions.  This recipe is made with pieces of leftover Prime Rib and think you'll like it!  Spice it up or down as much as you'd like but it doesn't get any simpler than this recipe.
