Thank you for your input, everyone. <3 Called the doggie daycare today and got the voicemail so I left one and we'll see where that goes. I looked into the ComfortZone spray and ordered both the diffuser and the spray, so we can see what happens with that. If it doesn't work I can talk to my vet...

Oh, I didn't know it was the same! I thought maybe it was just like "doggie Prozac" and they made it differently. I didn't know it was the exact same as people Prozac! In that case, I can speak to my pharmacist on Monday about the rates when I go to pick up my own prescription. :) Thank you...

Kat09Tails - She freaks out and vomits if she is crated right now. She had not been crated prior to my getting her so I'm still trying to acclimate her to a crate. So far she will eat her meals in there voluntarily, but if you even move to close the crate door she panic and does like a shriek...

I'll be calling the daycare in the morning to see if they're willing to watch her during the day, but she barks incessantly there and I don't know if they're willing to take her again because of it. The cost is a big factor (a month's supply of Prozac at a low dose is $300 here and I honestly...

Hi Chaz! It's me. I haven't posted in awhile mostly due to having started a new job, busy with school, etc etc etc. However, I'm posting now, and I'm desperately hoping someone can help. I have a six-and-a-half year old Collie/sighthound mix I adopted back in October. So far, she is...

She's partial to pugs or Pembroke corgis, so probably one of those two.

Ahhh, I can't even handle how excited I am right now. I feel like I'm going to burst! Normally I do two five minute training sessions per day with Nahla. I vary it up - sometimes we work on a trick, sometimes we work on manners, etc. I keep it interesting so she doesn't get bored. Our...

I had the misfortune tonight of running into a very unpleasant person on our evening walk, and without getting into specifics I came home feeling despondent and sad about life. After mulling over the argument a few times in my head, I decided the only thing to do was validate my position, and...

@protodog: Does this picture help at all? She's a bit difficult to take a picture of from the side directly as she doesn't seem to understand yet why I wouldn't want her all up in my business, haha. The only time I can really seem to get her is while she's eating, and she does crouch down a bit...

So I called my vet this morning and was a bit disappointed by the reply. I explained the issue and that I suspected it was a case of Happy Tail, and was promptly told that the vet had never heard of that before, but that there was "not much" she could do for a tail. She said that if I brought...

This morning, I took Nahla out like usual, came home, and everything was fine. I had a guest over, however, and after initial greetings at the door we noticed blood on the wall, and it took a few minutes before we realized Nahla's rapidly wagging tail was splattering blood everywhere. I used a...

Thank you everyone! :] She does have a very collie-like look to her so I'm fairly sure she's at least part collie, but I do see a bit of sighthound. We were told Borzoi mix initially, but I'm not sure! Lately I've just been referring to her as a collie/greyhound mix, haha, since most people...

Thanks everyone! :] I haven't been feeling very well today so I decided to be lazy and work some of her energy off by playtime inside today! They might not be the best quality but I really loved how they turned out so I decided to share them anyway, haha. :] I have since given her a little...

I had been looking for a set of characteristics, and had originally planned on a few different breeds that I had wanted to look at. I had tried to go the breeder route but I either couldn't find what I was looking for, or I just didn't "click" with what I did find. I then tried to look into...

Hi Chaz! :D While training is mostly going well with the clicker, and I find Nahla to be very food motivated, I have run into two problems that I'm hoping someone might be able to chip in on! How to make a sighthound sit??? Or sighthound-type cross, anyway... She does not sit...
