Maybe it's because I've seen several stories in this area of blaming a child's injury on an animal that I'm doubtful. I'm not sure. I'm still suspicious.

Specifically, am I the only one that thinks the parents MAY not be telling the whole story? If it's true, I'm sorry if I jumped to conclusions, but it seems far fetched, if not impossible to me, that a dog can and would take a baby out of a crib. And then run with the baby like he considered it a re...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32027117/ns/us_news-life/ I found this odd. There has to be something more to this story. I mean, if the dog's area is outside, then I can figure no reason why the dog (and how) would remove a baby from his crib, and then run away with the baby when the parents tried to g...

whoops, hit the button too soon.

Anyway, so for exercising him for right now we are pretty much having to stick with the inside play for most of his exercise right now - and it's working pretty well. Some days he's still getting a little too excited, but we handle it.

Brought this thread up again, because here in my area we are in the midst of our worst heat wave this year - heat indices above 100, temps in the mid to upper 90's. Dodger has pretty much made the choice for us - he will play inside with his rope, or even play fetch with his chewies (well, he'll pla...

I just wanted to update everyone after this. After about a week, Dodger's system recovered from the M&M's, and the increased hyperactivity went away with it as well. Of course, that didn't stop him from cruising for forbidden food. We went out another day - can't remember for how long, but it wa...

oh, also - if it was a food allergy, would it show other signs, like stomach upset or something else?

About a month ago, or a couple of weeks ago we had made spaghetti, and I left the pot with the leftovers on the counter to cool before I put it up - Dodger discovered he can reach the very back of counter and helped himself to what was left - at least 2 helpings of spaghetti. If the sauce didn't com...

Just curious - a food allergy could cause it just to happen that quick - rather than repetitively? Also, did some checking just now, the only ingredient that the Lamb and Rice that the shelter had him on, the Beneful we originally had him on, and the Merrick are some form of garlic product - could t...

We've had similar thoughts with our dogs....with Loth, our dog that died in early April, yes, we do have to admit that she begged - but at mealtimes she had to be the most polite beggar I've ever seen - even to the point of falling asleep while begging, lol. She slept in our bed almost every night t...

Oh, I think he does it when he's had peanut butter, too, possibly, but that would be it.

When Dodger first started this, I thought it was due to the fact that we were mixing cheese up with his food, and he would get the cheese caught in his gums - after he eats, he comes into the living room, or whatever room we happen to be in, and rub his face on the furniture. He seems to get pleasur...

Our Loth was a big, big fearer of water and bath's all around. We think it started when she hurt her back just after a bath. But when we couldn't get her to where we could tie her up pretty short and bathe her outside, then we would use waterless shampoo. We didn't use the option that often, except ...

I did call the vet, and she said so long as the increased appetite, hyperactivity, and the runs are all he's displaying, that he's likely not going to have a problem with it. She also said milk chocolate has less of a risk than something like baking chocolate or dark chocolate, and since he's about ...

Mattie, I hope you are right. Unfortunately, I watched my husband play in the yard with Dodger tonight after we got home from a school function with my older son - of course, he was doing everything we are trying to train out of him, jumping, chewing, etc. And yes, he is an adorably clever boy. We k...
