Shadow
The Basset-Lab with an Attitude

Unlike my "brothers" - Blaze, Smokey-the-Snitch & Torch- I'm a dog of very few words, but VERY strong opinions! (at age 13 I'm entitled to them)
AND MY OPINIONS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!
(well, ALMOST always!)

Over the years, I've learned a great deal about living in harmony with my packmates, both canine and human, and I want to help dogs everywhere have as good a relationship with their families as I have with mine.

So I want to use my share of our cyberden for a feature I'll call...

ASK 'DEAR CRABBY'

Here, I'll try to give you no-nonsense advice, whether you're canine or human, on problems you're having in your relationships with each other.

HUMANS -
Need tips on training and behavior? Wonder why your dog does some of those crazy things that drive you nuts? If I don't know the answer, I'll direct you to some good resources. (But I do have a lot of answers - After all, I've been a dog for almost thirteen years, already!)

DOGGIES -
Are your people driving you crazy with rules you can't figure out? Packmates putting you down? Maybe I can help you understand them better, or at least give you some ideas on how to cope.
