Re: You know you are a dog geek when..
You know exactly what your dog would sound like if he could talk, and exactly what he would say - and often have long conversations with him out loud where you speak for him, in his accent. Which can prove embarrassing when you turn a corner and bump into someone. Please say this isn't just me? ['M...

Re: "Cat saves boy from dog" video - behaviour analysis
That was a very brutal attack and I think that dog would have continued until the kid was dead had he not been stopped. I agree the dog should be put down. What if he had grab the boys neck! :shock: To answer some questions: Not fake, pretty California normal to have that many security cameras espec...

Re: What do you wish you had known...
. There are just so many personality quirks that I think either can't, or shouldn't, be changed, unless they impact negatively on the dogs quality of life. And that's different from whether it's what the human wants their dog to do, versus what their dog is inclined to enjoy. I agree, reminds me of...

Lucy "fighting" Bella
I guess not so much a training question as a behavior one. Lucy will attack Bella if Bella reacts toward someone, only when in our home though. Is this in defense of the one being "attacked" by Bella, or is it Lucy sensing something off about Bella and being uncomfortable about it? Bella i...

Bella
About the only time Bella is completely relaxed is if she is swimming or hunting for gophers. She runs from mound to mound sniffing and then once she finds one she is sure has a gopher inside and starts to dig. She then sticks her head in the gopher hole and I'm pretty sure she thinks she is small e...

Re: You know you are a dog geek when..
You use kikopups positive interrupter (a kissy noise) when you're out shopping with your mom because she was getting distracted by the shoes and was about to veer from the path to go look at them. You pat your leg to get people to come to you, and you find yourself using your hand signals for sit an...

White hairs on neck and face
Lucy is four years old and in the past three or four weeks white hairs have started popping up on her face. One long white hair different from her normal face hair standing alone next to black but all over her face and a few on her neck. Is this an aging thing, a genetic thing, or a possible sign of...

Struggling with dog food
I have fed Blue buffalo lines of dog food to my dogs since getting them. They do well on it and have soft shiny coats, no allergies, smell fine, etc. however, right now I'm feeding blue buffalo life protection formula because it doesn't have chicken. Blue wilderness types (grain free) all have chick...

Re: Is this okay to give dogs?
I don't know if we have that cheese but I will look. Funny enough Bella does like to be toweled I always thought it was strange . Bella and jasper seem to share some traits so its not overkill to me

Is this okay to give dogs?
Can you give dogs baby food? The reason I ask is that baby food now comes in squeezable packs whose tip would fit right through a muzzle and into Bella's mouth. Bella has to get a rabies shot this weekend and I found one baby food that's organic banana squash. The ingredients are banana, squash, wat...

Re: Lucy's eye sight
I've found what she was diagnosed with, persistent pupillary membrane. Compared to pictures I'd say hers is very severe if that's what she has. A vet has not checked her eyes since 10 weeks old .

Lucy's eye sight
Not sure if anyone has experience with doggy eye problems but figured I'd ask here. A few days after bringing Lucy home as a puppy I noticed that when light hit her eye it was a little cloudy, the other one seemed normal. When she was a puppy she also squinted that eye when light hit it but no longe...

Re: Lucy blood in feces
After closely inspecting Lucy's poo at a public park this morning I think it was a one day occurrence thankfully but I will keep an eye on it. It was not a lot yesterday so I'm guessing as long as I don't see anymore its not something to worry about. thanks for the advice.
