And another lucky dog - this time in my general area.

Praise is well deserved for the police officers, and the motorists on the road at the time this took place.

Dog story from NYC

Another incredible dog story. CNN.com has a link to a story that appeared on Anderson Cooper 360, if you haven't heard about it yet. A yellow lab got hit by a car on a major road in New York. The dog turned out to have a broken leg, and cuts and bruises, and is going to be alright. There was a germa...

And I just want to clarify - Wal-Mart isn't the only store that does it, and usually it is the result of 1 store employee, I'm not saying that all Wal-Mart's do it, or that only employees at Wal-Mart. We just hear about it more here because Wal-Mart has so many blessed branches in this area, and is ...

Certain stores, like Wal-Mart, aren't so great about allowing assistance dogs in if the dog doesn't fit their description of an assistance dog. They are usually few and far between, but unfortunately it has been known to happen.

Just a note on Dodger - we did actually get verification today that he's having his accidents out of seperation anxiety. We went up to the bedroom this morning for some - quality time. Dodger just wanted to jump up and play, so we put him out in the hallway, and closed him out. He was scratching and...

Something I had forgotten about, Dodger can be trained to help you balance yourself when you need it. Merlin my Greyhound has been known to do this at odd times when my balance has been wonky. He done it without training, just stepped into me to support me. I'm trying to talk my husband into us doi...

Just wondering how much time your wife is wanting him to spend in the crate during the day? With 8 hours at night, plus anything in the day time, he's probably getting a bit bored maybe? And she would probably be going to sleep about the time he's getting his energy?

With Loth, there were a few times that in order for the vet to safely treat her, he would have to muzzle her. Just a standard, rather loose fitting (for her - she didn't conform to any standard size) muzzle - and those stressed her out enough. Luckily, those types of muzzles only kept her from bitin...

Yes, that little pup is adorable! Makes you just want to cuddle him up! I'm lucky with Dodger, as he's only played with a stick a few times because the sticks don't play back like a rope, or even a ball, etc. But I didn't know all that about playing with sticks - thank goodness for our area's yard w...

Yeah - the electric scooter is something I may have to invest in as well someday (hopefully farther off than I fear). MS flare = me no balance (almost fell off the scale at the doctor's office today). But then again, Dodger is more considerate when I don't feel good - and even though he's gotten com...

Yeah, both my boys are weaklings - we've been feeding them non stop for years, and you'd never know it. My oldest is just to the point of tipping the scales at 100 (a 14 year old boy), so that makes him a whole 25 pounds heavier than Dodger. Still, Dodger loves being out with him, and basically show...

I have some of the same issues as Dodger. We don't crate him, as we don't have one large enough for him. But in the beginning we closed him up in our room (hoping that he would associate the room with comfort, since he sleeps in there). Well, American Bulldogs have a ton of energy....and when Dodger...
