Uh, not to sound stupid, but I will, anyway...what's laser spaying?

Merle seems to have an off/on 'happy spot'. Sometimes, her leg shakes when I scratch her belly, and sometimes, it doesn't.

Is there a thread called 'weirdest thing(s) your dog has rolled in'? There should be. I'd have a few stories to tell, then.

Thanks. I knew how to say it, but I had no idea how to spell it.

And DogzRule, she got the pill because someone dropped it and didn't pick it up.

We're not sure where she finds all this stuff. From our view, the floor is dog-proof. She went to the vet for that one, but she was fine with the push-pin and Jack o' Lantern incident. It was a craved pumpkin on our porch, and she ate around the edges and some of the meat. I don't have a funny story...

I let Merle swim in an in-ground pool a few times. Thankfully, depth doesn't bother her as it's 3ft-9ft. Chihuahuas could probably get enough exercise in a little wading pool.

I've never heard of a Costco, either. Apparently, we don't have anything useful in this county. I can't find a dog park, wish I could. There's traffic everywhere I go...sorry, got off-topic. I'll keep looking at dog foods.

I walk my dogs at least once a day, or I throw stuffed toys and balls for them in our fenced-in yard. Here's my questions: what are dog parks? There are 3 parks not far from where I live, but they have leash laws. I can't let my girls have any off-lead time, except our yard. New places would probabl...

I can't find a thread called not-so-funny stories, so I'll put this here. Chessie, AKA Eureka<--vacuum brand, has eaten almost anything. The worst was: an Ibuprofen *went into shock, nearly died*, raw pumpkin *puked that up* and 3 push-pins *pooped them out in a puddle of blood. At 9-years-old, she'...

Is that why when I mop the floor with a bleach solution, the dogs pee on it again?

Never heard of Kirkland. Would you believe mine like Alpo Come 'n' Get It? It's a grocery-store brand but not found at Wal-mart, not our Wal-mart. I'm trying to wean them onto something better, which is why I'm researching dog food. It's too much to think about.

I found a squeaky, furry stuffed hedgehog, which happened to be Nova's old puppy toy. I put it on the end of a leash, the end without the snap and dragged it across the yard for a while, even dangled it for the dogs. They stared at me like I'd gone goofy. We'll have to work on this game. I gotta get...

I like doggies :D I have to go with the all things in moderation, including moderation system as seems to work for my animals. While I don't think kibble is the root of all evil, I also don't think that one kind of food with absolutely no variation is going to do a body good. My kids like pizza and...

Well, I knew it was 'something' of the wild. I was close, but I think I named a movie by mistake. I feel dumb.

I'm thinking about switching my dogs to Call of the Wild, the one made with fish. Is that a good brand?
