First Post

Sometimes I update my myspace blog, but I've realized that I have nothing to talk about other than Vizslas anyway, so I might as well make it a part of the Vizsla website.

For those who don't know us, I am Crystal, my husband is Mark, and Lady is our first born and the light of our lives. She is very social and lives for spending time with her friends, so when she was almost 2 we decided it was time to get her a friend (and us a hunting companion!) After deliberating over names for weeks, the only name we could agree on is Jake, so that will be our next baby's name.

We live near Sarasota, Florida, and obviously spend a lot of time at the beach--most often our local dog beach. We are a bit (ok, more than a bit) crazed about Lady and talk about almost nothing else. Even on date night (Friday's) our entire conversation is dogs...most people think we've gone a bit mad. I spend hours (days, weeks, months) researching dog food ingredients and health nutrition for Lady. (and then we go out for pizza and beer) We both obsess over her care--her teeth, her coat, her energy level, whether or not she is tucked in snug enough under the covers of our bed when we leave for work--you know, stuff that is important. Suffice to say, we love our dog, and she is not "just a dog."

Anyway, I'll try to keep this blog to dog-related topics, with updates on training, titles, and events. Thanks for checking it out!
