This past weekend I had the opportunity to do a story on disc dogs for HelloDallas , with a special focus on our local Dallas Dog and Disc Club. I dragged poor Matt out of bed for the group's monthly meet-up in Walnut Hill Park so early for a Saturday that I heard many HBO words. We were greeted by some pretty fantastic and passionate people - busy professionals by day who in their off time, train and compete with their high drive, disc-loving pups. It was a good time, even worth Matt's early morning.
We were particularly moved by their love for the dogs, some of whom are former shelter dogs pulled in the nick of time for the very reason that probably landed them at the shelter to begin with - their energy and drive! These folks were truly meeting the needs of their dogs. They'd found the balance between companion and working partnership. Symbiosis with grace and positivity.
As many of you know, I'm a huge proponent of dog-human working partnerships. It's a beautiful thing to see a balanced, fulfilled dog working alongside a person who knows their dog's potential. Isn't that what this whole partnership was all about to begin with?

I also wrote an article about dog ear cleaning for the Examiner - you can find that article here .
