    Clicker Training Journal

    This crazy chinchilla lady has finally lost it...or so some people seem to think. :tease: I have decided to clicker train a few of my chinchillas. I intend to use this thread as a training journal/blog so the other crazy chinchilla people here can follow along. Maybe some of you will be inspired...

    Finally got my new car! 2011 RAV4

    Up until yesterday, I drove a 1993 Toyota Corolla, the first car I ever bought (used). It's been a great little car that runs like the energizer bunny, but its nearing 250,000 miles, making lots of not-good noises, and I just plain didn't fit well in it (literally...I'm 5' 10" and while not the...

    Meg clearly *hates* agility (sarcasm) *pics

    First the 'boring' stuff... Start off with some boring contact work. Weaves (yes, she's on the wrong side of the pole) Then some waiting (she was very patient today while I fiddled with the camera) And finally the fun stuff...I love her facial expressions. Some dogs jump...

    Question about Animal Number/Brand

    Say you get a female chinchilla from someone and she turns out to be pregnant. She has a kit at your place but it was not from your breeding. What ranch brand/number do you assign that kit? In this case, is the kit MARF A4 (my brand) or RSF A??? (Ronda's brand, where mom was bred)?

    uh...surprise! What are the odds?

    Katniss had a Black Velvet little boy! I brought her home from the field day at Ronda's on April 17th. According to Ronda's records, the male had access to her since November 7th of last year. If she bred the day I brought her home from Ronda's, she would have been due August 6th. What are the...

    Wounds that make you go 'huh?'

    Don't you just love it when you have freak injuries that show up out of nowhere? :hair: I just got back from taking Kuiper to the vet. She has peacefully lived with Lelu for several years. Both girls are 7 years old this year and there has been no sign of fighting...no pulled fur, no chasing...

    Dogs and Snow (pics and a video)

    We had a bunch of snow dumped on us over the past couple of days (most of it from just last night). I actually had a day off today without any plans for the first part of the day so I went out and played in the snow with the dogs. This was my first time playing in snow with Meg. We had a blast...
