We got a laser pointer for Zoe, and she seems to love to chase it. Recently, we met someone who said you shouldn't use them with dogs because it can make them nervous and ADD. He said there are two things that are negatives- the "dot" has no smell or sound, which confuses the dog as no other...

I mean weird behaviors that are unexplainable? Zoe sucks on her stuffed rabbit like it's a pacifier. She holds it in her paws, with eyes half closed, and sucks on it for hours She is also completely obsessed with flies. Yes, flies. She will chase them out on the deck and cries when she...

I probably spelled that wrong, but...after calling several dog teeth cleaning places, we finally found one who doesn't use anesthesia. She only charged $120, took 30 minutes, and Zoes teeth are pearly white again! Not all dogs are good candidates for this, but with Zoe's sweet, docile...

We have a lagoon near our house, and everytime I take Zoe for a walk she runs down into it and pees. It's kind of funny, but I just wondered if anyone else's dog does that.

Someone told me today that bulldogs are the one breed who can't swim because of their body type and short legs. Is this true?

Has anyone used it? I was talking to a woman today who was raving about it. She said her dog's breath is now delightful, and that it really helps cut down on the tartar on his teeth. It's really expensive though, so wanted to see if any of you have tried it. Thanks

I'm not really sure where to post this because I don't know if it's medical or psychological. Zoe is 3 1/2 year old very healthy lab/border collie mix. I work from home, so am around her most of the time. Since we've had her at 4 months, she's been house trained, and I often leave during the...

Zoe loves to run, so yesterday I took her to the beach where she chased seagulls for about 20 minutes straight. She ran along the shoreline as fast as I've ever seen her run, back and forth non-stop. I finally called her in, and we walked back home. She was fine on the walk home, though was...

Today I met a dog, whose owner called him a "Chiweenie"- he was a mix of daschund (sp) and chihuahua. I also like "Puggle"- cross between a pug and a beagle. Any other good ones??

:yikes:Wow. I'm in shock. A man I run into frequently and his dog, Sandy, were out on a walk today. Sandy is an 8 year old female lab. Zoe, my baby, is a 3 year old lab/border collie mix who wouldn't hurt a fly. The man knows this, as we have been running into him weekly for almost two...

Because let me tell ya, Zoe does NOT. Not one bit! We have had rain 6 consecutive days here in Northern Cal and it has been rough. She hates going out, so I have to literally drag her butt off the bed (I know, I know) and out the door. Then she just looks up at me like "Seriously??" She...

I met a woman at the dog park today who had a beautiful 3 year old lab who was playing happily with my Zoe. We got to chatting and she said they'd only adopted him a couple weeks ago. I asked who would give up such a great dog and she told me the couple who owned him got a divorce and NEITHER...

I'm so glad my mother in law loves dogs! Zoe is always invited. She is going to be so happy when she sees Santa got her a new Mr Rabbit! Merry Christmas all!

Zoe, is normally the sweetest, lickyest, submissive dog, but when she's playing with other dogs and a toy is involved-watch out. She will actually get really aggressive, with her hair rising on her back like a mohawk and snarling at any other dog who gets near "her" toy. It's ugly and scary...

What are they thinking? I was telling a friend of my husband's that when I take Zoe out to the coast, she goes absolutely crazy over the paragliders (probably in part because my husband paraglides). She barks and pulls on the leash and is almost impossible for me to control. His advice (an...

She keeps ripping the bandage off her leg, and I hate using the E collar. Does anyone know what I can spray on it so she won't chew it, that is harmless to her??

My vet is really nice, but she's pretty young, and I am getting the feeling that I'm being way overcharged. On Thanksgiving Zoe cut her leg, so I took her to the 24 hour animal hospital where she got stitches. This Monday I had an appoinement with my vet to get the stitches out, and the bill...

Seriiously- she follows me from room to room, stares at me like I'm doing the most fascinating things and constantly brings me toys to play with her. I love her with my whole heart, but sheesh, I have to get some work done! I've tried every toy under the sun, but she just won't play by...

Zoe has it. She spent 8 days in a kennel in a private pen to sleep in, yet she still got it. Any advice??
