Re: Need Help!

Hey Indiana, Are you in the US? If so, have you considered listing her on Petfinder.Com? It's got a tremendous number of people who scroll through there looking for pets. I got one of my collies off of Petfinder, and I have a neighbor who has been very successful using it to place the tamed-down fer...

Re: Need Help!

Why is it those with the caring hearts seem to get pummeled the worst? Is it because everyone else in the family knows they can eventually wear you down "for the dog's sake?" I'm so sorry for Breeze, and for you. It's a tough spot. Clearly having Breeze with the cousin is not the greatest ...

Re: New pet, new kids

Any of these male dogs neutered yet? Anybody crate trained? I suspect that for a while crates and doors and gates will be your good friend in keeping everyone in neutral corners until this is all sorted out. And don't turn your back on anybody left together -- dogs and/or kids -- until you have a be...

Puppies never cease to amaze me with the unimaginable predicaments they
can get themselves into. This one is a real surprise.

I bow to the most dedicated of dog people. I love my dogs, but....no. Not going there.

Can dogs/do dogs like to chew on antlers? I never thought about that part.

I should think it would be the bull doing the crying, not the dogs. How funny!

Re: Positive reinforcement and Positive punishment (a rant)

Is the lavendar he's using an essential oil, I wonder? And are they going to try other oils and scents? Essential oils should never be used willy-nilly like that. Even lavender, as gentle as it is, I do believe can overdose (please correct me if I'm wrong here). He could eventually be harming his do...

Re: Let sleeping dog lie??? Or not?

getting up that time of day is kind of our routine, so often it's Jack waking me up to get going. So I guess in our case the question is "let sleeping humans lie????" :mrgreen: Yeah, once you get that routine set, you're stuck for it. I've never been able to find the snooze button on the ...

Re: Lennox lost his appeal

It's a sad situation all around. I agree with you, Nettle. The law is in place, and people who wish to avoid this situation should not give their hearts to anything that has heritage tracing back to the bully breeds. Somebody had to say "yes, we'll have that puppy" instead of taking home o...

Re: Stupid TV Show about "Bad" Dogs

Yes, on an episode of that same show I was telling them off just the other night over their bad handling of the white husky's problems and the mixed messages they were giving her. I was also really put out at the idiots inviting the Yellow Nape Amazon parrot to bite them. They hadn't a clue how to h...

Re: not eating??

Sarah, as indelicate as this sounds, WHAT has he been throwing up? Is he just going through the motions,
or seriously tossing a meal, or something in between? Is he bringing up bile or something foamy?

Re: "You should put her on a choke chain."

I was going through the 'remember you have to walk with me, kid' paces when some lady came up and started telling me about how she trained a dalmation for 2 years, ("No one can get dalmations to walk!") and won all the prizes and I should use a choke chain because THEN she'll learn. Oh, t...
