Cool fish tank:)
Becky
LOL....that's funny. Do we name fish?
Save yourself the frustration of breaking heelers from chasing horses:). I've had 2. One left. The other finally got kicked good enough it killed her instantly about a year ago. She'd been kicked sooooo many times, but never stopped. The other one, still chases them too. Not so much now, but only because she is old, and arthritic.
The only thing I never tried that might work is a shock collar.

This is my Kitty #8

The best part of a dog is a herder----but can get them in a bit of trouble if they arent careful...
Hope the Dog keeps himself safe--a good one is hard to find!

I just noticed that you can see my reflection taking the picture in the glass.
BTW, how did you know your Beta was bored:)
Becky
He just ~looked~ bored. He never swam around... sat for hours on end on the bottom of the tank except at feeding time.
Now he's all agitated and active - sure - maybe a girlfriend would have been better, but at least he's got ~somethin'~ to live for. ;~D
I hope he gets over this too. He's only a year old, and I was just starting to really like him. He's been going with me trail riding (till he got hurt), and was really making a great trail dog. Mostly stayed right ahead of me, which is what I wanted him to do, to scare up the deer before I got to them,
Becky
Oh, yeah, I see you too:)
It's really raining here, lightening, thunder, there was even a tornado around Norman area, earlier.
Becky
Sounds like Beta's are alot like stud horses:), does he crib?
Becky
We went that route, and you are right, you can never get them to stop. Once the collar is off, they go right back to their old ways. He grabs my poor Lab's back legs all the time too.
I just got back from church and the coolest thing happened. Cody my two y/o hates the nursery. We were going to the fellowship hall and as we walked by he slowed down and didn't take his eye off the door and moved over and then hurried past it. It's the same move I've seen from my horses:')
Aw, cute Kitty #8. I love that pic of the cat walking by the line of German Shepards, on your profile page.
What always surprised me about my 2 heelers is they never tried heeling a horse while I was riding. The one that died would get in the arena and get in the way, but she didn't heel them.
Now Grizzly is a differnt story:), I have to lock him up if I'm doing arena work.
Becky
You mean it's actually warm enough to get thunder and lightening? Nice. (except for the tornado. I've been through a tornado and I HATE them) It's an icebox here.
It was 82 here today. Depending on the current a lot of the times when Becky gets bad weather , we get what's left of it several days later. Reading her weather posts is as good , if not better forecast:') We have rain coming early week.
*gasp* 82??? It was easily in the high 30s to mid forties today, and it's dropped down to 29 right now. We're supposed to get snow on Sunday.
Take me a picture, ok?
