My Dog Robbie is Too Smart

Terry Morgan — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:00:56 +0000

Before I adopted Robbie I did a lot of research on Border Collies and I read many times that they are one of the smartest breed of dog. I can now confirm this. I’ve nicknamed Robbie “Houdini.” I used to think that when Robbie was laying at my feet he was just being good, but [...]

Terry's Bad Idea of the Day: Dog With Dentures

Terry Morgan — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:32:36 +0000

I posted a picture on my Instagram stream last night of a questionable nature. It wasn't obscene, rude, or NSFW, but generally considered to be "gross." I wasn't going to post it here but after comments from several of the staff including Brad, I've decided to add it.

It's a pic of my dog Robbie. Wearing my denture.

Terry's Puppy Robbie Shows Off [Video]

Terry Morgan — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 18:07:46 +0000

A little over a week ago I started working with my 7 month old Border Collie Robbie on Clicker/Positive Reinforcement Training. It's true what I've read: Border Collies are the smartest dog breed. Robbie has quickly picked up the training, and actually asks for more every day. Check out the video of my pup performing!

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:30:53 +0000

Ladies and gents, it’s time for another round of entertaining fails. Recently we’ve scoped out the really unfortunate and the semi-painful type of fail. But this time around, we’re going for the straight up adorable, AKA puppy fails.

Is My Dog Robbie a Kleptomaniac?

Terry Morgan — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 20:47:39 +0000

My dog Robbie, a 7 month old Border Collie, is a thief. He grabs things from around the house or the yard and "steals" them. He stashes all of his treasures in the back corner of the yard near the shed.

He's stolen Jack's toys, plastic shovels, my work gloves (out of my back pocket), my lighter, my wife's glasses, and a myriad of other odd little things.

Why is my dog a kleptomaniac? Check out what I learned.

Meet Robbie – Terry's New Puppy

Terry Morgan — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:52:34 +0000

Over the weekend my family got a little bigger and a little happier. I adopted a purebred Sable Border Collie named ‘Robbie.’ Robbie is 7 months old and rather timid, but he’s starting to come out of his shell and act like one of the family. Robbie was intended to be a working dog on [...]

Dogs Are Vanishing in Alarming Numbers Around Southern Idaho

Terry Morgan — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 18:00:44 +0000

In a post on Facebook yesterday, the Twin Falls Animal Shelter reported that dogs are vanishing in Southern Idaho in alarming numbers. Dogs from Wendell, Hagerman, Twin Falls, Buhl, Rupert, and other Magic Valley communities are not returning home, aren't being found, called in, or being found alongside the road.

They are simply disappearing.

Watch This Pygmy Jerboa Clean Himself — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:00:15 +0000

[onescreen item="5008450"] Never heard of a pygmy jerboa? It’s kind of like a kangaroo. A very, very, very, very small kangaroo. It may not carry its young in a pouch, but its long hind legs, short front legs, long tails and method of transportation (hopping) all match up well with the more well-known jumping Australian [...]

Dog Just Can't Handle the Snow

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:17:29 +0000

Looks like Scooter bit off more than she could chew when deciding to go adventuring through the snow. But can you blame her? Who doesn’t yen for playtime when flakes start a-falling? In this recent post via YouTube, an owner records their dog as they go running, climbing and digging in the backyard snow after [...]

10 Cute Dogs Saying 'I Love You'

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 05:29:05 +0000

There are few things we love more than dogs. Think about it-- they look awfully cute in tutus, sport hoodies like champs and even pull off the whole eyebrow look with ease. Our love for dogs is so strong, in fa

The 10 Cutest Tiny Dogs Ever

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:06:17 +0000

We're huge suckers for anything involving puppies, like skateboarding Santa dogs or Star Wars pups. (Come on-- how could you not be?!) We're equally obsessed with anything in miniature form. So what happens when the two are combined? Holy moly cuteness, that's what!

10 Dogs Disguised as Lions

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 19:00:33 +0000

Lions aren't usually one of those animals we go "aww!" over. They're actually sort of scary — that is, unless they come in dog form. No, seriously! Remember when we introduced you to that poor lion pup who got the cops called on him? Well, it turns out there's a whole bunch of fellow lion fakers of the canine variety out there, and they couldn't get any cuter.

Angry Cat vs Tommy

Jackie — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 14:31:48 +0000

If you weren’t watching football last night you were watching The Golden Globes. I will be the first to admit that part of the reason I watch is to see how everyone looks. This year everyone seemed to notice that Tommy Lee Jones looked a lot like the famous grumpy cat. While they may look [...]

This Cat Insists on More Petting

Cats can be very self centered, but other times they can be very loving. Just look at this! Awe!

Buckle Up, This Dog Can Drive

J.B. — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 20:19:11 +0000

Not only can this dog drive, but he was homeless before he was ever trained to do this! Talk about a comeback.

Thanks To Twin Falls Listeners Griffin the Dog May Be Getting a New Ankle

Terry Morgan — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:43:41 +0000

On Tuesday, December 11th, I took Katie's dog Griffin in for an x-ray because we were worried that his leg had been hurting. It turned out to be much more than just pain.

The x-ray revealed Griffin had buckshot embedded in his back and hips, and his right rear leg had been broken in two places--his knee and ankle--and improperly set leaving the joints to be almost fused and useless. A shelter dog before Katie adopted him, Griffin looked to be the victim of animal cruelty.

But thanks to Twin Falls listeners, Griffin may be getting a new ankle!

Would You Fire A Shotgun At This Dog? Someone Did

Terry Morgan — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 17:50:31 +0000

Meet Griffin. Griffin is by far the sweetest and most good-natured dog I’ve ever met, and someone broke his leg in two places and fired a shotgun at him. I can’t tell you how angry that makes me, and how much it breaks my heart. Griffin was a shelter dog. He was adopted by Katie [...]

Maybe Invite a Furry Friend Into Your Home for the Holidays?

Terry Morgan — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 20:56:53 +0000

I hope you look around on on Thanksgiving and find that all is good and your blessings are bountiful. But there are those who may not have such a great turkey day, but you can fix that. This holiday season, instead of wasting more money on toys that will be broken a week after Christmas ends, head to the Twin Falls Animal Shelter and bring home a furry family member.
