I'm scared of my friends pug. I'm afraid of it for some very good reasons... 1) safety of my lower leg...yep I'm afraid if that thing latches on to my lower leg one more time that it will rub my skin raw causing a deadly staph or strep skin infection that indeed...could be lethal! 2) the snot...

Well, Sparky is with my hubby's step-brother (soon to be ex). We all get along well with him and I think he'll do very well owning a dog. May not be the best owner for her but its at least better, and she knows him also so thats a pluss. I kinda wanted her, call it selfish...but I think...

You will not believe this! You're prayers payed off! Here's what happened... My husband's half sister (the step-dad's and his mom's daughter) told her counsilor that her daddy had drugs in the house and mommy didnt allow that when they lived in the same house so why was it ok now? Well the...

Well, Sparky is still there. He still says he's coming to get her. I offered to take her, told him I'd LOVE to take her, but he wants her and isn't going to give her up. If she is there the next time I am at the house (its an hour away) she will come home with me, though. my mom-in-law says...

Yeah I'm gunna give it one more day. The dogs not STARVING but he hasn't been by every day to feed it. Tomorrow is the last day. If she's still there tomorrow, I'll bring her a bag of dog food and some fresh water and when we help my m.i.l. clean out her backyard this weekend, she'll come...

First I'd like to appologize if my last post seemed a little snippy. I didnt mean it that way. Its just very frustrating for me. I got a little defensive, also, and I addmit it probably wasn't the best reply I could have wrote had I given myself time to cool down! lol Consider it my parental...

PS and no more baths in the upstairs until he knows he wont get one EVERY time he goes up there!! lol good luck Meagan

english bulldog was my first choice. No real desires for one, but I do like most dogs. Basset hound was my 3rd. My husband and I like them and were considering getting one but my first choices would be dobermans or labs (grew up around them) followed by maybe a german sheapard. Lab was 9 on...

I think I might be able to help you. Vega dislikes stairs and up until about a few weeks ago would go DOWN them but not UP. She just didnt know how I think...but here's my suggestion to try... try encouraging her to go up with that lovely thing all dogs will do about anything for...treats...

Hi 4-H is a youth program where they do everything from art projects, agracultural projects, horse competitions, sewing, etc... and they are to do a big independant project every year. I'm almost certain the project HAS to be breeding something but I could be wrong, maybe thats just a favorable...

ps: not to say that when i start clipper her nails she doesnt fight like a bull and try to nip me, just saying that once she's calmed down she's ok. Sometimes that takes a while. Also, with the people she just simply will not accept, there seems to be more and more cropping up, instead of...

Firstly, I already stated that I dont use harsh corrections on her. She's never been hit, I've never used nor feel she needs a choke collar, or any physically harmful correction of any kind. I stated she is seen by a vet regularily for check ups. A vet told me it was submissive. She does...

Haha thats a good one but she'd get hit by a car before a human officer found her. I've never seen a humane officer in my life. the cops pick up strays around where I live but only if they are causing problems. Not entirely uncommon for people to let the dogs roam around loose anyway. The...

PS I really want to see the joy in that dog when that chain comes off of her and she realizes she's free....what do you think she'd do? I wonder if she'd do anything. After 10 years living like that... It might take a while to sink in but she'd find a happiness she'd never known....

I offered, but it wasn't my mother-in-laws decision to make. He is going to come and get the rest of his stuff on Wed. and I told her if sparky was still there I'd take her. I think if I took her without his permission he'd be utterly POed. Not for the fact that I think he really wants her...
