Hey guys, It's been a while since I've been on here (you would not believe the stuff we're going through right now, but that's another deal), but I have a question. We've been looking into getting another dog, and we're wondering which breed would be the best match with Jester. My hubster is...

Hey everyone! My husband and I are looking (and just looking, at this point) into getting another lab. Does anyone know of some responsible breeders (preferably in the Mississippi/Alabama/Tennessee/Louisiana area)? We're really interested in yellow labs, and preferably ones that look like...

Okay, so my mom's boss had a dalmation who, sadly, had to be put down a couple of years ago. He is in the process of getting the cutest little guy (I'll see if I can post pics) from the same breeder he got his first dalmation from. He says that he gets to pic from 2 pups, because they both have...

Hey everyone! Our friends recently bought the cutest doberman pup (seriously, you wanna squish him he's so cute!) named Ace. They wanna work on getting him around other dogs and suggested that we let him play with Jester. Ace is around 5 months old, and isn't neutered yet (from what I know)...

Okay, this may be a silly question, but my husband brought this up yesterday and it got me wondering. I watch a cute little ACD every other day so the poor thing doesn't have to be cooped up in a crate while her owners are gone all day. My husband and I were out back throwing the ball with them...

I knew things were going too good for me today. We had our company Christmas lunch, Jester was Mr. Awesome in our walk...and as I was walking back to sit in my computer chair, I felt my leg buckle. This was a familiar feeling, as this had happened once before. But AHHHHH! :yikes: My left kneecap...

Where did my doggie go? On our walks for the past few weeks, he's been a model of good boy behavior. I don't know what happened. I think someone came by and replaced him with a dog that looks a lot like him. I was thinking about that today when he totally surprised me. We were walking and, as...

So I've had some time on my hands out here (I know, who can imagine?), and I've gotten to thinking about some things. Well, one thing, really. My friends. I was watching Sex and the City the other night (I have no excuse for this) and I thought, "Why can't I have friends like that? Friends that...

Hey everyone, I have a dog that I watch every MWF, a sweet little ACD named Fiona. Anywho, her owner was telling me that when Fiona was at the vet a few days ago to have her nails trimmed, the vet had to call her and ask her to come back to help them restrain her while they cut her nails. She...

Hey guys! I was reading an article the other day that stated that it's better for a dog to eat from elevated feeding bowls than from the floor. Is this true? Why? If so, do you think those bowl stands sold at Petsmart, etc. are good quality? Thanks so much!

for Jester, that is. Since he decided that his last bed would better suit him in hus tummy, we had to get Jester a new bed. This bed is a little more luxurious than his last one. I can't tell if he likes it...what do you think? Checking it out... Decides it's not too bad...

Okay, so there I was lying in bed this morning and I hear Jester start to do his pukey noise. Perfect way to start a Saturday, right? Anywho, he threw up a piece of red, hard plastic and I though, "What do we have that's red, hard, and plastic?" Turns out, he ate his toothbroth. ARG!!!!! :mad...

Hi all! I have a question. I've tried to find the answers in the forum and haven't gotten the answer I need. Since Jester is a puller on walks (not when it's just us, but when he's amped up or he sees another dog or person he can tug), I want something to help teach him not to do that. Right now...

Okay, I have a frustration that I need help dealing with. Jester is a very friendly puppy, and I think that's great. I'd rather have a happy sociable puppy than not. I do, however, have 2 problems that have stemmed from this that I could use a little help on: 1) When we're at home and someone...

Hey everyone! Well, this weekend is a three day weekend (woo hoo!) and Ben and I decided to go backpacking with some friends up in Alabama. I was a little nervous, because Ben wanted to take Jester, but it turned out to be such an awesome time. Jester had an absolute blast! He ran...

Alrighty, I've just about had it with worms (of any kind, really, but more importantly the ones that are in my pup's poo!). I just had him de-wormed for the millionth time last month. I just don't get it! He's been on Frontline since we got him in April, and I try to keep the backyard as clean...

I tried posting this elsewhere and had no luck...maybe someone can help me? I have a question about puppy growth/weight. I took Jester to the vet recently and he said that Jester is heavier than he would like to see. He called him 15-20 pounds overweight. He said that we should be able to see...

Hey everyone, I have a question about puppy growth/weight. I took Jester to the vet recently and he said that Jester is heavier than he would like to see. He called him 15-20 pounds overweight. He said that we should be able to see his ribs. He is 8 months old and weighs about 60-70 pounds...

Hey everyone! Well, my husband and I were playing in the backyard with Jester and we decided to bust out the camera (we're such doting parents -- it's horrible!). Anywho, I thought I'd share with you all (I'm so proud of my water dog!!!), because I thought some of these were pretty cute...

Hey all, I have a question. My little guy seems to have developed a rough patch on his forearm, and I'm pretty sure it's because he's been chewing on it. How can I tell if it's a "hot spot" and how do I treat it? Also, how do I prevent them in the future? He gets his Frontline every month (and...
