some days you feed your dog a balanced nutritional diet of organs, muscle and bone.... and some nights you accidentally dump an entire bag of potato chips on the floor with a food aggressive dog and no reliable 'leave it' cue.... Sorry Shalista, I had a bit of a chuckle on this one. :lol: Health Co...

Congratulations! This is great news!

Best wishes for your future.

Best wishes Shalista. Sirius isn't a great fan of the Velcro on her thundershirts, but fortunately isn't as upset about it as Bax was being. It sounds like the counter conditioning is going well for you. Sky has had a couple of husky adventures last night and this morning. It had taken me longer tha...

Thank you for posting the travel article Diane. We have recently purchased a new vehicle and will be phasing out use of the big van for all but cool weather close by trips. (It keeps overheating with the AC running and I am not inclined to put a new radiator into a vehicle with a failing transmissio...

Sirius seems to want to join Sky and me on our evening walks about every 2nd or 3rd day these days. Today was one of those days. We had a much more peaceful walk that we have had a few times we were out recently, and less peaceful than other times. :lol: It seems we never encounter the same number o...

An interesting walk with the dogs tonight. Sirius recently went for her 6 moths follow up on her behavior meds and we decided to up the Prozac a bit and she has stopped taking an herbal that the vet had given. I walked both dogs together as it was hot, getting late, and both indicated they wanted to...

I'm so sorry to hear this news about Opal, Erica. Hopefully things will turn out to be not as bad as one's mind tends to imagine when these things come up. )))))))) Hugs (((((((((

The new medication is very helpful with Sirius's sound phobias. We didn't have very many days to work out the dosage, so may have given a bit more than really needed. Instructions were 1-3 tablets every 6 hours as needed and start at the lowest dose. We started out with one tablet which worked well ...

Happy Birthday Delta! My grandson is one month old today. :D We are preparing for fireworks around here. I have spoken with the behaviorist and we are trying a different situational medication. While OH felt the other medication was helping, I wasn't seeing it. We were also both observing a latent l...

Way to go Erica! I took the kayak on it's maiden voyage yesterday with my brother and his wife. OH came along to "watch." We met my brother at a church along the route and then followed him to the park with the boat launch. (Good that we followed, there had been an accident and road closur...

Today being a holiday in the USA, I took the dogs out for a morning walk. Sirius had a very nice walk but chose to take the short way home after looing around the park. I think she thought it was too hot. She may also have been upset by an off leash dog at the park. He was her size and looked quite ...

[I drove up on the Friday before (not a fan of getting up at 3:30am to drive five hours to an eight hour workshop ;) ) and had the bad luck of hitting Richmond around 4:30 when people were starting to get out of work, I think. Next time I am leaving in the morning -- either to take the scenic route...

Glad you enjoyed the classes Erica. Sorry about the Richmond and DC traffic. :( It shouldn't have been too bad on a Saturday depending on what time you hit town. A friend of mine and I headed for Pennsylvania at 6:15 in the morning from practically just across the river from DC and we had a clear sh...

Great news Judy, on both counts!

That is rough Shalista. Poor Bax and poor you. :( How close are the invisible fence dogs to your house? Could you make a smaller circle maybe using both sides of the street for a little while to give Bax and yourself time to heal and regain some confidence? There is a dog reactive aussie up the stre...
