Renee...I totally feel your pain. Actually I am so glad to have found this board because it's a rare person who loves dogs so much and those people are on this board.

Beautiful paintings!! :)

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your best friend. It's so difficult to have that happen and my sympathies go out to you. As time passes, you'll remember all the good things and all the fun you had together.... I have been thru this myself about 3 years ago when our wonderful black...

Has anyone heard about this new upcoming TV reality show on Animal Planet called "Who Gets The Dog"? In a nutshell...they pull a dog out of a shelter and shuffle it around for 3 days with 3 families for 24 hours each. Somehow the dog is supposed to "choose" which family it wants to live with...

Hello...I definitely agree with Renee. That puppy needs to spend lots of time with you and when you have a puppy you have to expect that you will spend LOADS of time teaching and training that puppy. You won't have much time to yourself for a little while but that will change. I would also...

Messes in the house sounds like a possible case of separation anxiety. I would suggest that you talk with your vet about it. If it's really serious then medication can be given to help. It's difficult when you adopt an older dog and don't really know the beginning life of that dog. You...

We call Cole - ColeyBoy or Buddy and we call Hannah - Hannah B (which is short for Hannah Banana). :) It's probably rare that a person actually calls their dog by the real name. :D

What a sweet picture! I always believe it's so important for kids to grow up with dogs. :-)

Hi Jazzie, Welcome aboard. Bring on the questions....I'm sure you'll get some great advice from everyone! :-)

I'm going to agree with Renee and Chazhound. We had a dog with terrible allergies...even got her tested. We heard about a natural dog food called California Natural. It was terrific. It helped alot to minimize the allergies/hayfever and helped her coat and all around health as well. The...

Hi Linda, I had a dog that this happened to frequently and like you, I had to have her anal glands expressed many, many times during her 12 years. She was a black lab/rotty mix. After she was checked for things such as worms or another medical problem and cleared...We were told that this just...

Hi Grace, Welcome in! :-)

Hello Pauline, Glad you joined in. I just checked out your website and your work is beautiful.

Poor Buddy! I hope he will be OK!

Great picture! Is Caspian a Saluki? I'm interested in these dogs because we've been told that our one dog who is a mix breed has got to have some Saluki in her and I've never heard of them before. They are beautiful dogs!

Ironically I saw a Borzoi today in person and they certainly are very beautiful dogs. Good description in your post Renee...

The dog's name is Duncan and he is a pure-bred collie and was once a show dog. He was found to be living in terrible conditions...and was rescued and is now part of a loving family. :-)

I would like to say a huge THANK YOU! to all the dog rescue groups out there for all the wonderful and tireless work they do to help dogs in need to find new forever families. I am not affiliated with any one group in particular...it's just that we got our dog, Hannah from a rescue group and I...

Agility training sounds like a great idea for your dog. Those two breeds are indeed high motivated working breeds. Your dog needs a "job" to do and training could be the answer. One of my dogs is a mixed breed that we got from a rescue group. We were originally told she was part Lab and...

Hello Mikef26, I have had good results from crate training.... As a suggestion, maybe you could move the crate into your bedroom so that she is sleeping near you. The daytime problem is a little more complicated. You should talk to your vet because if the separation anxiety is clearly a...
