Thank you dr2little.

doberluv and dr2little, great posts!

LOL, tessa. And thank you.

Rabbitsarebetter, I am sorry you had such negative experiences. I use the term, "The jerk and startle" method for what you have described--even though your dog was scruffed not jerked. It is catch all term (jerk to heel or sit, scruff, startle, make submit, etc...a)that I originally referred...

I was wondering what are the members' favorite dog training/behaviour books? What makes you choose one book or certain books over others? Although, it was written a while back, I particularly enjoyed, "Don't Shoot The Dog" I agree with the author's ideas about behaviour and how to shape...

Hi BigBlock. I am sad to hear about your dog. Generally, an IV is put into one of the forearms and powerful drugs are released into the bloodstream. You can request to be there with your dog, holding and comforting him/her (I'm sorry, I don't know if your dog is a male or female). To...

To me, this dog looks like a long-coated, purebred GSD. The coat pattern may be the result of one parent donating a bi-color allele and the other parent donating a saddle patterend allele. The result would be a similar color pattern. I am not referring to the colors, black and red. I am...

Sorry all. Problem solved. They fixed it.

My guess so far is that you are 33-34. ?????????????

Didn't power windows come out a few years before remotes and cordless phones? You said they were novelty. So, does that mean a few peope had them; but, most did not? How old were you when these things came out?

Hi Princess. Pretty dog. What are your 8 pets?

What is a, "bubble" pipe?

So sad. I am sorry. You are all in my prayers.

If you have a tick or flea problem, garlic will not solve it, unfortunately. There are various flea and/or tick products that work well. I use Frontline Plus. It is easy to use. It is applied along a parted area on the skin between the shoulder blades once per month. Veterinarians in your...

Thank you Angel for the warning. How sad. The cages' major design flaw probably due to cutting costs should be trashed, as should every cage constructed that poorly. When I buy a new kennel I check for stability and safety. Your post will remind me to be ever cautious. Again, thank you.

Hi Purdue, I would do just as Summit suggested. If you do not find the owner, and you still want to do the right thing(spay the female), call rescue organizations in your area. Ask any local vet for numbers and names. Ask the organization(s) for help with spaying, shots, heartworm test and...

Will Chulita be getting pre-anesthetic blood work? If so, and since she is healthy, and the gas used today is generally safer, she should be fine. I understand it is always scary when someone we love goes under general anesthesia. Once she feels up to it how about posting a pic of her new...

Yee gads:yikes:

LOL. Yup. The whole phone, and the hanger in 4 pieces. My Vet still has her x-rays on file. Some other stories on here about odd doggy eatings are good reading.

The research part is what I agree to. Research and learn all you can, and then make an informed decision.
