Okay, for those of you that have not heard my story. We adopted Loki three weeks ago from a shelter. He is our first pet ever. He will be one in febuary. He is a mixed breed dog that weighs about sixty pounds. He is a GREAT dog. Very calm. Never barks. House training has been great. He...

Well, some of your were correct. It is Loki not Lokey. We have found much about him. Today is two weeks since he has come to our home. We have learned much! His stitches came out yesterday and the big baby just layed there and whimpered while the doc took them out. He is so good. He is...

Everyone has been great on here! I love reading all the posts and seeing all the pics. This is day six and we are doing well. Lokey(should of been spelled lowkey because he is low key, he is way calm, we still have heard the dog bark only twice)is feeling better this am. He went out back and...

okay, I am stupid. His picture is my avitar. I have more pics. Don't know how to put them on here. I have two books from the library. Is canned food really best?

I have pics of Lokey. Call me stupid but I cannot get them on here!

Well, Lokey is on a special canned food for the next week. He has some antibiotics to take three times a day and another pill to slow his bowels down. The diarrhea continued at the vets and he gave him a rectal exam and a shot and then all this other meds. I got a $126 bill. Yay. But we are...

I bought some dog pads. I am going to try that first. I believe that if all else fails, Lokey can be indoor/outdoor. I am going to give us all a few weeks. I get to pick him up in a little over two hours!!!!

I am having so much fun looking at all your pics. I will post some later today I promise!!!!!!!!! I don't even have my baby. He is still at the vet until after lunch. I called to check on him yesterday and they said he is fine. I cannot wait to get him. I am off of work the next three days...

Thanks everyone for your replies. We already love Lokey so much. He is such a great, calm dog. I am so proud to have him in our family. Just a few more questions The baking soda sounds like a good idea. What do I mix it with? THe dog food, what kind is best? Tomorrow he goes to the vet...

My husband comes home for lunch at noon everyday. That is not what I am concerned about. I just don't know about a kennel for that long

Not ten hours everyday. I guess that I did not word that correctly. I only work three days a week. Good grief. Not to get defensive, but I know plenty of people who have one or more dogs in their back yard that hardly get any attention at all. My family doesn't want to be like that. And...

Thanks to all for the replies. I know that I sound a tad bit unprepared and to be honest we were. I know that Lokey was at the pound for about three weeks and that he was picked up by the dog catcher so any past info was unavailable. We could have bought a registered anything for what we paid...

Hi to all! Our family has been making trips to the shelter for months and yesterday we fell in love. So we brought home this dog who is about a year old and of mixed breeds, lab, sharpei or st. bernard. He is darling and we love him already but we have never owned any animal other than a...
