  1. Safety meetings are cool to watch, but if you want to see real carnage watch the new instructor training. I hurt for those guys. Fly it like you stole it!
  2. I haven't jumped in over 3 years, I'm thinking about starting again, but the tunnel is giving me the piece of skydiving I enjoy the most. Flying, moving my body doing specific moves, it reminds me of gymnastics which I loved but had to quit due to how hard it was on my joints. Fly it like you stole it!
  3. He is a trainer out of Europe, don't know much about him besides that. On a schutzhund forum a while back there was a HUGE debate about using the terrier breeds for dog ring sports (not dog fighting, think fetch the human in the big funny suit). Most people agreed that they can do the sports well, very strong bite, great trackers and obedience, but once they were on the decoy it tended to be harder to get them off. Also part of the debate was on how much they actually like to play fetch the human, they seemed more stressed out than their shepherd counterparts. On the other hand the United Schutzhund Clubs of America has banned the Pit breeds with the exception of Staffs in competeing in the bite work portion of Schutzhund trials, there is a German club that allows them to compete in all parts the DVG, but I'm not sure how common they are here in the US. I know they have been used for SARs and scent police work with great success, but then again these are well trained dogs with responsible owners. I mean you don't see guys in the hood working with their dog on it's CGC award, or helping it become a certified therapy dog. Fly it like you stole it!
  4. How hard is that coat to maintain? Fly it like you stole it!

    The feeling I get from her post was that, there was a girl in a dark part of her yard, she had no idea what happened to her or if it was a set up. Turn out it was just a drunk girl, but what if it was a set up and a guy was hiding in the shadows to attack her/rob her/ect. Oh and if it would have been a set up and she was attacked everyone here would be on her case for going outside and putting herself in a bad situation. Unfortunately I lived in Houston long enough to prepare for the bad in every situation. If it would have happened at my house, I would have let Sherpa investigate the area 1st (if he is good for nothing else he is intimidating) then go and check on the person. Fly it like you stole it!
  6. Mutts are great, my 13 year old is a German Shepherd/Blue Heeler with maybe some Husky. She is absolutely the best dog I have ever had, it's more than well behaved, it's like she naturally knows what humans want. Such as when hiking she would natural get off the trail to let people pass her and she never went to sniff their dogs. Sherpa on the other hand we actually had to train a command to get off the trail and get out of the way. Fly it like you stole it!
  7. Sweet!!! Now I have a reason to visit our Foster City office, well not that seeing Kris again isn't a good reason. Fly it like you stole it!
  8. You may want to contact some of the folks in Colorado, they had a kids group that came once a week in the mornings to fly. Fly it like you stole it!
  9. Sherpa, What did you do today? Well, Aunt Julie brought over this skinny little dog who thought it was fast, so we played chase in the back yard. Did you catch it? Not at first, but after 30 minutes it got tired, so I caught it and ate it. You didn't!?!?!?! Well Daddy always said survival of the fittest, so can you get me a new skinny fast dog that can go more than 30 minutes???? Fly it like you stole it!

    I'm glad the Discovery channel fixed it's line up, I swear it was a car fix it show before. Fly it like you stole it!
  11. Ok I can so see you with an Italian greyhound, then I really could get it a little pink fuzzy sweater. Fly it like you stole it!
  12. The European Shepherd lines (German, Belgian, Dutch, beauceron). They always look so ready for action, in reality everything is a game just sometimes the game is called fetch the human. Pics 1) Belgian Malinois (my dog Sherpa) 2) Dutch Shepherd Fly it like you stole it!
  13. Kari rocks, smart and cute. I miss scotty though, nothing like a chick that can weld. Fly it like you stole it!
  14. You won't hear that at lost prairie either. Fly it like you stole it!
  15. We bought our house based off of one income instead of two, left an out if things went south....they didn't, we got married a year later. Fly it like you stole it!
  16. We are still working on the Colorado info, I've been super swamped but it should be posted soon. Fly it like you stole it!
  17. I'm looking at helio myself for when my contract with ATT expires in Aug. The GPS stuff looks super cool and the rate plans seem better than what I can get with ATT, only thing holding me off right now is the microsoft exchange access, on the other hand we have a normal website to access our exchange server so it may be a non issue. Fly it like you stole it!
  18. NOOOOOOOOO....I LOVE Dt. Coke with lime, loved the lemon too but they already got rid of that. Guess I'll just have to mix my dt. coke with bicardi limon. Fly it like you stole it!
  19. Yeah, blame it on the poor dog... Dude the last time I switch my dog's food to one with more protein I swear they could clear the room with one fart. Instead they would sniff each others butts almost like they were saying "my fart was worse than yours....no way mine was" Fly it like you stole it!
  20. He created a doggy door in the screen of the window beside the back door. See I can definately laugh at my Mal's stupid dog tricks. Fly it like you stole it!
  21. So I have a ton for the Belgian Malinois, so post yours: Would you have a sense of humor if your Malinois... Goes over the coffee table instead of around to get to the couch, or over the back of the couch to get to the front Puts holes in your clothes or hands when playing has more energy than you do missed biting your nose by inches (this is called "face clopping); you will develop fast reflexes mistakes your hose for a snake and won't let you fight that shovel, vacuum cleaner, or lawnmower all by yourself gives you a heart attack by leaping 5' off your deck at 4 months of age, or goes over your 6' fence as soon as your back is turned sucks your best sweater into its crate and eats it, and does it to your next best sweater because you forget to create a DMZ (Danger: Malinois Zone) around its crate bites you if you won't give it the ball flat foot jumps on a car, table, or kichen counter eats its water bucket more than once etc... Malinois rules of ownership: The Malinois says: If its in my mouth, its mine. If I'm touching it, its mine. If I can see it, its mine. If I can smell it, its mine. If you hide it on me, I have the right to bite you because its mine. If another dog (non-malinois) has it, I can correct them because they have something that is mine. If its edible, its mine. If its in that big cold box in that room you call a "kitchen" its mine. If its in that pail or bucket in that same room, its mine. If you don't give it to me, that and your hand are mine. If its in my crate, or within reach, its mine. If the human is eating it, its mine. Malinois Property Laws: If I like it, it’s mine. If it’s in my paws, it’s mine. If I can take it from you, it’s mine. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in anyway. If I’m taking something apart, all the pieces are mine. If it looks just like mine, it’s mine. If I think it’s mine, it’s mine. If it’s yours and I steal it, it’s mine. Malinois Mind Games Two favorite mind games include, “I meant to do that!” and “That is absolutely not my fault!” Both of which consist of the Malinois making appropriate facial expressions to indicate that, no, I did not run into the door by accident, it was a carefully crafted test of geometric principles—and, no, I was not the one who distributed kleenex around your living room—perhaps you’d better question the fish!

  22. My Belgian Shepherd just made himself a doggy door through a side window. Fly it like you stole it!
  23. So you bought Michael Jackson's old house? That would answer alot there were key locks on every door in the house when we bought it and a full alarm system. Seriously though.....the previous owners had two autistic sons and a daughter so the security was to keep the boys safe. Fly it like you stole it!
  24. mi casa. It's a really old pic though, like two owners ago since the last owner tore out the grass in the back yard for a HUGE kiddy playground set. Fly it like you stole it!
  25. It's never over!!!! Fly it like you stole it!
