Dog Gone it! Dog on the Table
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
I don’t mind sharing my chair and even my bed with my doggie friends, however this dog has gone WAY too far! For some reason he decided he liked sleeping on my dining room table. This is a shaggy english sheep dog I shaved earlier that day because he was severely matted. I put a coat on him and gave him a nice warm blankie on the floor. Next thing I know it, he’s on the table sleeping.

Sharing the TV - Big Head Bear
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
I get really tired of telling Bear, my big headed Rottie, to move his fat head from my TV! I swear I can’t turn it on without his face right up in it and he can watch TV for hours. I often have to tell him to sit back worried he’ll ruin his eyes.
So I go to my big chair to watch a past episode of Survivor and guess what happens? I have to put a towel on my laptop so he doesn’t slobber all over the keys.
BTW his favorite channel is Animal Planet, of course! He comes into my bedroom really early, sticks his big head on the TV waiting for me to turn it on. If I’m too slow he starts crying, looks at me then the TV.

Max, Ozzy & Riley
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
I don’t always get a chance to shoot video because many of the dogs are bouncing off the walls and playing, however on a chilly winter day I often curl up in my big chair and light a fire. On the floor here cuddled by the fire we have 3 of the sweetest little Yorkies you’ve ever seen! The one on the small round bed is little Ozzy, the bigger one is Riley and Max is the tiny one with the sweet face. Click the image to play.

Double Dog Dating - Alaska, Molly Brown, Casper & Bullet
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Last night around 7PM I went to go do my rounds checking on everyone. I was very quiet so I wouldn’t disturb everyone and get them barking. In the yard was Alaska, Molly Brown, Casper and Bullet all laying in a circle facing one another and very close like they were hanging having a conversation. I ran to go get my video camera but by the time I got back they were up and barking. Sometimes its hard to get the best moments, however I wanted to at least get a video of the four of them. Molly Brown and Bullet definitely have a connection. It was love at first site!

The Traffic Jam
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Its not unusual for me to have a 1/2 dozen dogs running around my office and hanging out in my house. In the fenced area off my own personal deck I have a ramp. Its funny watching a bunch of dogs all trying to go up or down the same time. This video is starring Bear, Pablo, Roscoe, Stumpy and Alaska. Please excuse my grass. It was all seeded and looking great… lol- for a while anyhow. Hard to keep a lot of nice grass with so many crazy dogs!

Oddjob, Cherry, Piper & Riley - The Fantastic Four
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
These are 4 perfect dogs. Oddjob (Golden Retriever) & Cherry (Boarder Collie) live together. Oddjob LOVES to play fetch so anytime a human is present he gets the ball and brings it to you. He could do this 50 times a day, I’m sure. Cherry is very affectionate and sweet.
The two mixes Riley & Piper live together and are here for an extended stay. As you can see in the first part of the video Piper is very vocal! I have tired to get video of these two for several weeks which is almost impossible as you’ll see in the second half of the video. They NEVER stay still when there is a human around. They love to play and are very affectionate. Piper is a lap dog and Riley loves to lay her head on your lap and get kissed all over her face.
All four dogs are excellent dogs.

Stumpy & Pablo
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
These two live together and came to visit Dancing Creek Farm. Stumpy is one of those specialty breeds, sort of a mix between a basset hound and shitzu. Very interesting look and a really sweet dog. Pablo is obvious a Chihuahua only about a 1 year and ADORABLE! They are both males. The video below is actually several clips combined. In the first part you can see Stumpy smiling. Its the funniest thing! You then see them looking out the screen door, their favorite past time, watching the roosters, hens and just checking everything out. You’ll then see Pablo stiff and looking like he’s crying when actually he LOVES sitting in the warm sun but its so bright and he also starts to get sleepy. I was spying on him on the back sun deck, sitting there and I saw him start to fall asleep, nodding out while sitting up! It was so funny. Sometimes the video camera isn’t there when you need it.

Lehu, Molly Brown and Rosco had a great time. Of course in this video Lehu wants to bark at me wondering what I’m doing. Rosco is kissing Molly Brown on the mouth. These three had the best time and simply wore each other out!

Rosco the Boxer Dump Puppy
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
This is a little boxer puppy we found at the dump. It appears someone dropped him off. He was hungry and happy to come to live out at the farm. He has a serious under-bite and his tongue always sticks out. I was going to find him a home but we decided to keep him. He’s really smart and cute.

Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
In this video Sadie is stalking a fly. She stalks them slowly like a cat. She is our BEST fly catcher. You also see her and Bear playing and in the end she’s pasted out in my chair which is a big event because Sadie is ALWAYS on the go! Funny video!

Blue & Clare
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Say hello to Blue and Clare. Blue is the husky and has been here quite a few times. In fact he’s been here at least 1/2 dozen times or more. This is Clare’s first visit so she’s still a little nervous, however she and Blue quickly became friends. This area they are in is one of 3 areas. This we call Bow Wow Cabin. It has a ramp in and out with a small grassy fenced area. Inside they have cable TV featuring The Animal Planet, Music, big floppy chair, sofa and heat or air. Very posh!

Maggie and Alaska
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Alaska, the white lab mix, has been here before and a sweet little girl. This was Maggies first time. She’s a 3 year old pointer that was fascinated with all the animals on the farm. When I took her out on a leash in the front she could smell or sense the deer in the pastur, point her tail and lift her leg. Thank goodness she was on a leash. In the video below Maggie is wanting the chickens in the front yard so she is jumping up and down trying to look out the windows in the door. Very funny. Then Alaska goes over to tell her to STOP IT MAGGIE! lol

Matilda and Sharky
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Meet Matilda and Sharky. Their family is from Blacksburg, VA. They went to Disney World while Mat & Shark stayed at Dancing Creek. These are two sweet dogs but very mischievous. In the winter when its slow I keep dogs in the main house with me. During the night they somehow got the boxes of treats off the dining table and had a party! I’m honestly surprised they didn’t get a tummy ache. There were wrappers EVERYWHERE but not one single treat left! They are very affectionate.
Below is a video clip I took with my NEW Flip Video Recorder.

Mollie is a regular here and has been at the farm a bunch of times. She is a 5 year old mixed breed. She and her parents Ed & Laurie Tillett live in Danville. Mollie is social when she’s in the mood but most of the time she hangs out under Tamara’s desk when she working or following her around the house.

Poor Mollie…but when she comes to camp she gets to cheat a little.

What a sweet little girl! Mia is a rescue adopted by mommy Kim. Its hard to image that this sweet little girl would have been put down in a matter of days. Mia is a mixed breed 15 months old. She was really nervous at first but she settled in by the next day & loves to help Tamara do the laundry.

Princess is an older girl with bad hips so she isn’t very social with other dogs. She prefers to hang out in Tamara’s bedroom where its nice cool and dark or in the office. Princess is also a therapy dog & very sweet. When she wants something from you she taps you with her nose on your leg.

Abby Camp
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Abby was very shy when she came here. Her family was in the process of moving from Colorado to Virginia and they left her here for 3 weeks. This picture was her 2nd day so you can see she’s still unsure. After a few days hanging around Tamara, getting treats, hugs and kisses she came around and made herself right at home.

Meet Sadie ~ Queen Sadie
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Sadie redefines personality. You’ve never met a dog that had more energy then Sadie. Normally when dog is high energy they make you nuts trying to keep up with them but Queen Sadie is still as dainty as they come. She is affectionate, well behaved and the sweetest little girl you’ll ever meet.
Sadie is about 1 ½ years old. She is an English Setter. She lives in

Meet Cagney, Cue and Wonder Dog
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Cagney is still a puppy (one year old now!) With TONS of energy and Cue is 4 years old. Both are Aussies that live with their mommy Tonya in Providence, NC. They were our very FIRST boarders.
The orange dog with them is Wonder Dog, a rescued dog I brought up from Florida. We call him Wonder Dog because we wondered what kind of dog he is. He smiles like a hyena! Wonder Dog is now 2 years old and the social director here at the farm. He shows everyon how to go down the ramp, where to poop and keeps everyone running & playing.
You can see the buckets of water we put out. These are changed a few times a day with fresh water and when it’s really hot we dump ice in it. They LOVE ice when its hot.

This is Josh Wellbank and he is a feisty 12 year old toy poodle that lives in Danville. Josh is one of our regular regulars and although he can handle his own with the big dogs, he prefers hanging out with Tamara in the office or watching the bog screen TV with her. Like Tamara, Josh has trouble seeing.

Meet Blaze
Posted by tamara under: Doggie Profiles.
Blaze is a 2 year old Rat Terrier from Danville. She is awfully spoiled and follows Tamara everywhere she goes. She’s been a guest at the farm a number of times and makes herself right at home. She sleeps with Tamara and loves to get under the covers.
Blazes mommy, Darlene told us an interesting story about Blaze. One day her husband came home from work to let Blaze out to go potty. When he walked into the house Blaze went crazy barking and acting strangely. She kept going to the closet barking until he opened the door and saw the water heater smoking and starting to flame. Had he not gone there or had Blaze not brought this to his attention they would have lost everything they own including their beloved Blaze. Thank God!
Click the video player to see her. I have not figured out how to edit or rotate the camera yet but you can see what a fun personality she has.
