Awwwwwww! Max is adorable, look how much he's grown!

cKranz, your photos are so beautiful. If you ever publish a book, it will be on my coffee table.

Hey Desiree, I recently had a medical emergency with Betsy where blood/fluid had been filled into her lung and post-ER visit, it has been recommended that Betsy abstain from running, rough housing, etc, anything that will make cause her injury or too much excitement. Since she's still recovering, sh...

I also found the vets could not possibly spay or neuter without full bloodwork and an ECG now. My vet has been suggesting blood work with dental cleaning too. We did this for Maggie--before we started brushing--and discovered through the blood work that she had a liver infection since her liver val...

My mom gave me the excuse why she keeps Fiona in the house: to keep her quiet. If I tell Fiona to be quiet I'm told to leave Fiona alone. The neighbors have said Fiona needs to stop barking so much. My mom tells them to deal with it. The neighbors have even told Fiona to be quiet. I'm surprised the...

What has your local trainer suggested about these issues between your two dogs?

I've contacted a mod to move this thread to a more appropriate forum!
EDIT: Nevermind, it's already here....oopsie!

Betsy, being part Chihuahua, prefers to sleep under the covers with her body cuddled next to me. When she gets too hot, she'll go to her favorite corner of the bed and snuggle there or jump off the bed and sleep in her crate. If she doesn't have any covers (like a couch), Betsy will dive under the p...

Oh my word! :shock: I'm glad you got her help in time, and that she is going to recover. But... how in the world did she get a hold of rat poisoning? :shock: My parents had rodent poison in the basement and garage due to some dead mice found in the basement. I didn't know exactly where the poison w...

Betsy update: According the x-rays, she had fluid/blood seep into one lung, but fortunately the oxygen rate was still 100% and the other one was still working and she wasn't anemic. After a blood clotting test, they determined that it wasn't pneumonia but rat poisoning. She's spending the night at t...

My dog, Betsy, got sick last night. She was up last night, coughing up blood and having trouble breathing. She has been very lethargic, confining herself to the crate all day and not wanting to eat or drink. Unfortunately, our vet is not open on Sunday so we might have to head the emergency vet toda...

Last night, I had been thinking over about what to do with the girls' situation. Sometimes they're fine with each other. Sometimes they're fighting. Just regretting the whole situation and wondering if it could even be fixed, wishing I could figure out and connect with Betsy the same way I do Maggie...

How much mental/physical stimulation is she getting? Have you looked into agility classes? I'm not sure when is the right time to start training with growing joints and all, but at least with agility, she can jump and climb on more appropriate things!

I loved SuperFetch when it aired on Animal Planet. I hope the show is a success!

TxPepper, in what environment are you trying to train her?
