Bax has a hole in his leg O.o not sure how it happened or when he got it but he has a very shallow obvious hole in his leg that he keeps licking. hes cleared a considerable patch of fur around the area, almost his entire upper leg. no blood, no pinkness just a chunk cut out of his leg with a wide ba...

Lovely response to my post LoQ, those are my thoughts exactly. :D Dittoing Judy on lurchers and greyhounds. or.... reiterating my previous point. get an adult/senior. bax was a bucket of energy a year or two ago but now he mostly just sleeps on my futon. we walk slowly in a stop and sniff for about ...

yeah i guess i just move in different circles than you Nettle? I hear cries for help over destructive and violent and fearful dogs they've had since puppies far more than i hear it for rescue dogs. not that rescue dogs are perfect i just think you might have a better sense of what the end product wi...

unpopular opinon for this thread but here we go -

go to a shelter and find a dog that has exactly the right temperament you want instead of getting a puppy and rolling the dice that it wont be a neurotic nutcase regardless of breed?

shes way to nice :oops: <2 years old and still all paws. def didn't stand a chance against bax. he had a truly aweful day. fought for food and then tiny humans invaded and then everyone was outside eating while he was locked inside. i came in and he was crouched trembling. unfortunately i came IN be...

Mother’s day and asparagus falls to the floor. Both dogs went for it. 13 lb ratty and 85lb ridgeback. Bax ripped her nose wide open. She backed off bleeding and thankfully her owner didn’t object. Both dogs are back to all love and snuggles. Sigh. Edit. But. I have a five year old and three old huma...

we actually had a really good time yesturday. my Potatoe boy was eating cold french fries and ate them quiet happily while sitting in the seat with the door open and the car off. maybe this will work!

tried crates but he hates them. he wears a seat belt harness and doesnt seem affected wether i bring a blanket from home or not. tried homeopathic calming pills as well as travel pills, neither mattered. tried thunder shirts, he hates them. as far as treats have worked ican get him to stretch his ne...

i think bax is telling me something and it's time i listened. he loves being at the nursing home, schmoozing for treats and affection..... but today as i packed up the car to get ready to go he must have heard the jingle of the keys because he just sat in the middle of the floor and shook. this car ...

welcome! welcome! i look forward to seeing your posts in the training section. also you must have very tolerant dogs. that many cats and rabbit would NOT fly with my very prey driven dog..... or rather... should i say the fur WOULD fly? :lol: :lol: :lol: :cry: :cry: :cry: :roll: :roll: :roll:

poor girl =( my sympathizes to the family. my dog bax wasnt FULLY potty trained until he was 5. (that was 100% behavioral though) best of luck to them.

you should send them along to here so we can chat with them more directly about anything they might be trying.

so this morning bax was in one of his grass eating moods. i tugged him along on our walk and he got some mouthfuls in. pooped, peed, all right we're done. came home from work today and my entire apartment REEKS. he EXPLODED gooey brown slime and mud flecked with grass all over his puppy pads. it was...

tbh thats prolly how id be to after 2 days of hiking........

i dont know but for humans we're always supposed to toast bread to go easier o nthe digestive system.

the gorge just opened up by us and im tempted to take bax even though they say no dogs alowed (plenty of people do anyway) but the paths cant pretty narrow in places and id ont want him to tangle someone up in his lead
