    Could this make my dog anxious?

    Dizzy, our bedroom is too small to put his cage in but that is a good idea. I wonder if he can lie comfortably in a smaller cage. I'll have to look into that. Thanks.

    Could this make my dog anxious?

    My 17 month old lab/terrier mix has always slept in his cage in the living room at night. My wife and I decided to give our dog a break from that once in a while so we started to let him sleep on our bed on weekends. Lasy night, he was put in his cage after sleeping on our bed Friday and...

    Dog is starting to show agression.

    He received a lot of TLC while he was sick. I will have the vet check him out. Maybe it's my fault for roughhousing with the dog sometimes and letting him play bite my hand. When I wipe his wet paws after being outside, he would sometimes groan and squeeze(not too hard) my hand with his...

    Anyone use the contour bed pillow?

    It's that funny shaped pillow with extra padding where the neck goes. Is it comfortable? Is it worth getting? My pillow is worn so I'm thinking about it.

    Need help. Dog is shaking.

    I'm not sure if he's in pain but yesterday when he was lying on the bed with my wife and son, my son touched him and he squealed. My dog is a lab terrier mix, 17 months old, and no, he didn't get any other medication. He has been on heartworm meds for months. As far as being cold, my...

    Need help. Dog is shaking.

    Maxy24, he can move and he is responsive. As of right now, he seems OK again. He's been a little off since the shots. I wonder if I should give him a children's size aspirin.

    Need help. Dog is shaking.

    MY 17 month old dog is shaking/trembling right now. He had his rabies and distemper shot two days ago. Could this be the reason?

    Surprise ingredients in fast food. Yuk.

    CanadianK9, I was not thinking about fat content and preservatives. I enjoy my fatty foods, like chicken wings, and I wish I had more self control. What irks me is the sand in Wendy's chili(I had a bowl yesterday) and Subway bread(no whole grain in the wheat bread and the use of fertilizer as...

    I met my wife through a dating service 15 years ago. I was in the dating service for several months without any luck and I was about to give up. Then I met my wife to be. She was 37 at the time and she just joined the dating service for the very first time. A coworker of hers kept pushing...

    Great Book: 365 Tao

    I bought the book through amazon.com. One thing I should add is that a few pages are really hard to comprehend(deep). Some pages will say stuff you already know. I guess the purpose of the book is to read one page a day and meditate and reflect on what you just read.
