I am a frequent visitor to the Amish Country in Lancaster, PA. I have purchased many beautiful and well made pieces from up there. The furniture is very well made, albeit pricey, but you get what you pay for - quality, hand made craftsmanship, many pieces one of a kind. I have also purchased...

Well, that's encouraging. I think Melissa W. is right though and probably a lot went on that most of us are not aware of. I would never presume that I know or understand what went on. I, personally, have no problem with people expressing their views and opinions - realizing that never in a...

WOW, what a scare. So glad to hear that he is better and back at home.

I haven't been a member of this forum for very long. I was also gone for awhile which had nothing to do with any of the activity that goes on here. I came back this month to find out that many of the people that I enjoyed hearing from had gone - that was very dissappointing to say the least...

My dog is 16 months now and I have only recently begun to leave him uncrated for short periods of time. The longest I have left him is 2 or three hours. Any longer and I crate him. He is very good but was a heavy chewer as a pup - he chewed up an area rug and would chew on furniture legs, I...

Oh Thank God!! I am so happy to hear that things are looking up. I hope precious Brody is home soon....Take care and get some rest.

Me too - very frustrating. Thought is was my computer untill I read this thread. Glad to hear it's being worked on.

Ive been following your thread and am continuing to pray for you guys - sounds like they are getting through to the man in charge!! Take care....

Colt has rrrreallllllyyyyy long legs. I think he is a cross between a collie and a sheltie. He does not have short legs like a sheltie. Dad was a registered collie but mom's bloodline is questionable - no papers. She was smaller and may have been a cross herself. I have learned so much on...

Do you think a neck for Colt (@19-20 inches, 19 lbs)? I was planning to start with chicken leg quarters if the EVO did not work. Maybe they will be too big. I'm thinking necks might be better for his size.

Hmmmm - lots to think about. Have any of you been following the thread about Brody? He has an obstruction from a Natures Variety Bone and is very sick. This concerns me. Any thoughts?

I am praying really hard for you and your dog!!! I am so sorry that you have to go through this.

It was actually the pet store owner that suggested puppy food - Colt is 16 months old. She said it helps dogs gain weight sometimes. Thought I'd give it a try but it didn't help him. I'm giving the Evo a go. I am mixing it with the Merrick right now but he is picking the Evo out and eating...

I definitely see some collie - she is very pretty.

Thanks Herschel. That information makes it easier to make the switch!! I think Colt is very petite too. I still think he could stand to add at least 5 lbs. though. I have been supplementing with cooked eggs occasionally. Colt loves them and eats his entire bowl of food when they are...
