Hi! I was last w/this group in 2002. Maggie and her brother tragically
ran away the nite of 4/5/04. Jack, the Angel Dog has been helping us
recover. I am just now coming to terms w/the fact that they are not
coming back.

You contacted me at a time when I was already looking for another dog.
Now I am thinking that I am ready for another deaf dog. I have looked
at the Deaf Dogs rescue web site and made a couple of contacts.

Any deaf dogs locally? Jack is a border collie mix and likes to herd.
I was thinking ACD or Aussie or Jack Russell or Sheltie and of course
mixes thereof. One breeder in Idaho has a Jack Russell puppy that she
will keep w/the mother for 4 more weeks and then wants to SHIP the
dog. Is this OK for a deaf dog? It would seem to be a really
terrifying thing for this deaf puppy and I would like some input as
she sounds great otherwise. Sorry to be so wordy...any comments are
appreciated. Pattie

Hi Kinsey!
  Long time no see.  Thanks for joining and am looking forward to seeing
you and Teddy too.  Thx for responding re the food.  What are your ideas
about the other activities?  Is Teddy doing any agility?   Do you want to
try to have some equipment set up?  Have you been to the park to check it
out?  Can you post a photo of Teddy in the photo section?

Hi Karleen,
   Great to have the "ole timers" here as well.  Wow time flies.  Were you
at the first picnic in Adams County in 2000?
Hope you can make it again this year.  What are your thoughts on the food
and activities?  Can you post photos of your crew in the photo section?

Hi Lynda,
   Don't know how you can train those puppies and let them go.  I
would be training them to fail so I could keep them.  Smile.  The
gathering is October 9th.  If you go the Calendar on the yahoo web
site, it has the info there.  Please feel free to bring your trainee
with.


Rhonda

I will be out of the office starting 08/01/2005 and will not return until 09/30/2005.

I will respond to your message when I return.

I've misplaced it -- what is the date of the gathering?
THX for the leads on adoptable deafies!  I'm not quite ready yet to
adopt; the Guide Dog for the Blind puppy I raised is still in class, so
I'm waiting til he graduates and gets his blind partner before I do
anything about gettting another dog -- bcs if for some reason he
doesn't graduate, they'll offer him back to me -- and I'll take him in
a heartbeat!

The boxer rescue sends a lot of their dogs to the
trainer we have Mr Beau with.  This is by far one of
the best trainers I've seen.. he has a great
understanding of animal behavior and he really does
love the dogs.  We have been really pleased with the
progress of not only our foster, but all of the dogs
in class so far! Plus, it's a lot of fun =)

Thanks, Rhonda, for putting this together. I was wondering when I'd
be
hearing about another picnic.  Count me in, as usual.  Miss Mias is
still The Princess around our house: going on 6-years-old now.  As
soon as I figure it out, I will post a photo. - kymberly

  Fairmount Park
  5222 Quaker Street
  Golden, CO

See map and directions at
www.prospectdistrict.org/parks/fairmount.php
This is not inside the city of Golden.  The park is not an off leash
park but it is not near any major streets and has plenty of room for
us to set up activities if we want.
  I have reserved the park from 12 - 4 pm.  If we want to have
food,  can I have someone coordinate it so we don't have all veggies
and deserts?  Perhaps everyone can just bring there own "picnic
lunch". 
  Ten individuals filled out the survey last yr.  I am posting it
under files. Ninety percent said they would be willing to RSVP in
advance and contribute $ so drinks and a main course could be
purchased.  What are your thoughts?  Note what was liked about
previous gatherings and what they would like to see added.
One of the things mentioned was a separate play area.  There is a
small equestrian area right next to the park.  If we could find some
of the stuff they use to separate contruction areas, perhaps we
could wrap it around the bottom part of that corral and it would
serve as a play area.  I have a resource with a very creative mind. 
I will see if I can find something we can use if there is enough
interest. Anyone know any contractors etc who may let us borrow that
type of material for a Sunday afternoon?
  In terms of trainers, do you want a lecture type of thing or have
one or more trainers set up at a booth type of place where you can
ask questions?
  We'll have a group type thing separate where we can discuss
general information, tips on communication and just share our
experiences with our dogs.  I would like to have some simple games
that everyone can participate in but need to have a couple of people
willing to work with me or independently on choosing and
coordinating the activities.
 

FYI,

I'm fostering a deaf white boxer.. he is the sweetest,
cutest guy.  We currently have him in obedience
training and he is doing really really well!

Please visit the boxer rescue if interested.

His name is Chance (but we call him Beau).

Thank you,
Mardi

I am Kris and I live with Lilly, a hearing American Pit Bull Terrier,
and Cosmo, a 10 month old deaf from birth American Pit Bull Terrier mix
(with what I have NO idea!).  We live in Lakewood and are excited to
meet other folks in the area.  Does anyone else's friends feel the need
to yell or whistle at their deaf charges to see if they're really
deaf?  This cracks me up, then they tell me he can hear, he's just
ignoring me. 

Hi, Lynda and all!  This is Karleen and I live in Highlands Ranch
with my 8-yr old deaf Aussie, Ellie, my 6 yr-old deaf Australian
Cattle Dog, Scout, my almost 15 yr-old hearing Border Collie, Kyle,
and my 10-yr old hearing Sheltie/ACD mix, Sophie.

Lynda, Hmmmmmm.....well, since you mentioned you may be looking to
adopt....have you seen Summer on the Maxfund website?  She is a
beautiful 4-5 month old female (spayed) Aussie mix.  Cute as a
button!  Says on her information that she is hearing impaired if not
completely deaf.  Here's a link to her photo/information in case you
want to check her out.  :-)

http://maxfund.org/Pages/Dogs-Pages/Individual%20Pics/Pages/Summer-
Dog.htm

If that link didn't work, try http://maxfund.org/ , then click on
Dogs and look for a beautiful white pup!

Will look forward to seeing many of you again and meeting new faces
in October!

Karleen

hi, my name is Lynda.  I am currently dogless -- a terrible place to
be! The last two dogs I shared my life with (both now at The Bridge)
went deaf as they aged, so I became active on the Deafdogs.org site
and have a special place in my heart for deafies.  May be looking to
adopt, so keep me in mind...

Hi all,

First off I want to thank Rhonda for the invitation to join the
group!  I was just thinking of you, Zap and Champ the other day!

OK, now on to the intro.  My name is Kinsey and I share my home and my
life with Teddy, an Australian Shepard/Smooth Collie Mix who is about
2 1/2 or 3 years old.  Teddy came to me from Ohio almost two years ago
(I think - feels like forever - in a good way), he was born
bilaterally deaf and is the best dog that I've ever had.

We are looking forward to meeting everyone in October.

Have a great day!
Kinsey & Teddy
