    And I thought they got out of the retail business!

    One whole year with Bella!

    Love is not silly, so you don't have to make excuses for feeling so connected to your pal! Shows a lot of good things not only as a pet parent but as a person too. Good luck to you both!

    How do you know if a breed is right for you?

    I definitely agree on fostering a dog that hasn't been so lucky. He/she will say "Thank you-Thank you" for many years to come! Also, make sure you not only adjust the dog to you, but you also adjust to your new pal. This includes making sure you get your new place first (you said you were moving...

    **** ***** dammit

    Heartgard will cover 10% over your pet's weight, so if you go with it you should be ok. Others are not so good with limits though... and again, Heartgard will cover for 3 weeks after its due date. By the way, I'm not trying to sell it to you: it just happens that I went through the same thing a...

    Why did I agree to this?

    You may want to start by "training" the parents and tell them they need to do better at paying attention to their four-legged pal. You need to let them know the problems you're having so that they don't think it's because you don't like their dog; you actually like him so much you're willing to...

    Rescued a Litter of pups (Squishy puppy cuteness warning!)

    WOW! They're all cuties no doubt about that! And punkygirl, it's so refreshing to see that there are still people out there that'll do such a good thing for animals in need! Like Dakotah said, hope you'll be able to find great homes for them... Wonder if you could open the door for us to name...

    Which Breed is Best for.....

    Okay, first of all, you need to make it easy for the dog (since he/she's going to be the one dealing with 20 different personalities). I think the best thing to do would be to buy a cheap book about dog breeds (or rent one from your campus' library) and then make a list from where your roomates...

    Oh my! Where did the time go?

    Well first of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORGAN!! When we celebrate a b-day, we usually go for chewables that will keep our b-day girl or boy happy for hours... Wal-Mart just started carrying a bake-at-home birthday cake set that sells for around $5. Comes with everything you need, including...

    Great! I guess all our good {{{ vibes }}} worked!

    Ultra sonic or shock?

    I'd probably say 'go back to basics'. Imagine there are no options out there and find out the reason for this behavior. I agree with Suzzie that your post asks for recommendations, but for me none of them worked. They get conditioned to the collar instead of changing behavior. I wasted $100 on a...

    Is your dog good offleash?

    Milena is pretty good at staying by our side but 'G', our rescued Peke, not at all. I think his behavior comes from being confined with so many dogs at the puppymill. However, I think it's all about conditioning -- Milena got good because we went to the park at least 3 times a week. She got used...

    I tend to visit globalpaw.com but love, like some say here, the "small-yet-big" atmosphere of chaz.
