Hello and Thank You for the ideas. I resorted to putting her in the back of the truck so I could get her to the Vet for her first shot. It is a little difficult for me to find someone to drive while I hold her. I live alone way out of town also my neighbors are almost never home. I do have...

Lilly is about 2 1/2 months old. I'm not perfectly sure of her age because she is a pound puppy. She gets very upset riding in the car. I have a long driveway and have done test runs going only 5 miles per hour for 2/10 ths of a mile while she protests. I've never had a dog or puppy that did...

Thank You for the Reminder Yes, I'm sure that you are right. Just needed reminding. My Teddy was a big cuddle bug from the beginning. Guess I forgot that every dog has their own personality. She does want to cuddle when I first let her out of the crate in the morning, so maybe there is hope...

Lilly continues to do very well. Potty training has gone beyond belief well! Spending time with her has led me to believe that she has some terrier genetics. She can get excited over the tiniest thing. What is bothering me a little is that she HATES to be held. She is a pound puppie so she...

Guardian Dogs Thanks for the book suggestion Doberluv, I'll check the local library. Actually, the whole thing with Teddy and the geese was a total accident. I didn't put two and two together until the vet identified him as an Akbash cross. I was just plain amazed that he was so good with...

Yes, Doberluv, They are very interesting. There are several sites on the web that discuss them. They are part of a class of dogs called: Guardian or Flock Dogs. They originated in Turkey and are especially used to guard sheep. I originally thought that he was a Golden mix but my Vet...

Thank You for your interest Tucker & Me. It has meant so much to me that I've had dog lovers interest. Love your quote "A dog is not almost human..." Sometimes their love is too much to understand. Why do they trust us so much when "we" collectively have done so much harm to them? I've had...

Yes, Doberluv Yes, it was such a relief! I lost my beautiful Teddy about a month ago to cancer. He was an Akbash mix. He was the most amazing dog. Akbash dogs are flock/gaurdian dogs and he absolutely lived up to the genetics. I have a flock of geese. Actually, they were Teddy's geese...

I agree with you Zoom and Thank You for your interest, both of you. Think the Vet took pity on me because of the whole thing with my guy that had cancer--no charge today. Miss Lilly had been napping for a very long time this p.m. Think her little tizzy at the vet's tired her out. I'll be...

Lilly is MUCH better. Took her to the vet this morning. She does not have Parvo or an infection. Vet suggested some sort of stress. She was seeming anxious to me. Missing litter mates? Today, the anxiety is gone. Bowel movements are looking better. Vet suggested Pepto Bismal 1cc twice a...

Yes, we will be off to the Vet today. I did take her for a vet check but it was very cursery (sp?) or quick and no depth. They weighed her and looked her over and that was pretty much the extent of it. Yes, will vet this morning. She is still eating well and has normal puppy energy this...

Thanks Zoom & Granny! Will try a tablespoon of the yams. Yes, if things don't improve by tomorrow we will be off to the Vet. Got to give this little gal the best! She is proving to be a great little personality and lover girl. Big hopes here. Thanks Again, LillyLover

Lilly's Diet Hello and Thank You for the response. I asked the SPCA what she was fed. The response was: "Whatever is provided by volunteers or freebies from grocery stores". I have been feeding her Science Diet for Puppy/Small Bites. She is eating well and has the normal amount of energy for...

Thank You Zoom! I do not have any canned pumpkin. I do have some canned yamms and a fresh squash that I could cook for her. What do you think about that? Yes, I have been watching her. She is such a doll and trying to do the crate training with lots of effort.

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have a little girl, pound puppy, that has developed diarthea in the last 24 hours. I brought her home 5 days ago. At first, her bowel movements were fine. In the las 24 hrs her stool has gotten pretty loose. No blood, but I am concerned. I have just spent...
