    So sorry to hear about Tucker having cataracts. Like Renee mentioned I've had a blind Jack Russell (Lucy) for 5 1/2 years now. Lucy went blind from something that there was no treatment for (but she has also developed cataracts as well in the past year.) Lucy still has a wonderful life even...

    Health Help Sites Listings

    Hi Renee :) Thanks so much for sharing Lucy's blind dog resource web site here! In talking with blind dog owners over the past 5 1/2 years, I've learned that so many times (especially in older dogs) blindness is only one health issue the dog owner is facing. Many are dealing with other things...

    DaVinci's eyes.

    Hi there... :) I had an email from Renee about DaVinci. I'm so sorry that you are going through this, and if there is anything I can do please let me know. Not knowing what is going on is the hardest part, since you don't know if there is a treatment that can restore vision, or prevent more...

    New groomer seeking advise....

    Thanks Renee... I've heard on different groomers boards that sometimes they do try to enforce the non-compete clauses, but not that often. That may be if they provided the schooling originally at no charge. I did end up opening my own shop (remodeled garage) at home last May... and now am so...

    Combing/Brushing without hurting...?

    I agree with Backward Cinderella... I also love "The Stuff" and use it all the time in my grooming salon. I also give small bottles to some of my (don't brush between grooms) clients to use between grooming after bathes... and I see a huge difference in the condition of these dogs when they do...

    Opinions on Canidae's new Grain Free foods?

    I happened upon this thread while looking to see what others thought about the Canidae grain-free kibble. Like SO many dog owners, I'd had my 2 dogs on Canidae for over 5 years, and when they changed the formula I was not happy about it at all. Both dogs ate it okay, but had very loose poo for...

    Update on my grooming venture!

    I thought it would be a great service, because I'm only a few miles from a huge senior community. At first my insurance agent wasn't sure about me transporting animals, but he said as long as it was only "once in a while" it would be okay. I think there is probably another type of policy needed...

    Update on my grooming venture!

    I've been debating about putting an ad on Craigslist. I will probably at least "try it" and see how it goes. There can be some very weird "pet" people there sometimes... so wasn't sure how the results would be! :lol-sign: Glad to hear that you've had good luck with doing it. That's great that...

    Update on my grooming venture!

    Tallulah is such a doll! Yes, Terriers are such "terriorist" and not all that fun to live with sometimes! My sister-in-law just moved back to Oregon from Tennessee about 2 weeks ago and is staying with us (along with 2 Mountain Rat Terriers 35 lbs. each.. and an old little Chi guy) until she...

    Fun pictures!

    Renee: Yes, Lucy is almost exactly like she was before going blind.. just a bit slower & more careful! She is just the happiest girl.. and I can't tell you how much I've learned from her... on how to let the "little things" go... life is too short to not be happy! :D Thanks you all for the...

    Awesome pictures! Wonderful action shots... and I just love the expression they get on their faces when they are playing! :lol-sign:

    Where's The Abuse?

    Lucy & Holly want to know if this is "doggle" abuse! :lol-sign: When Lucy went blind I got her some doggles, so we could just put them on her when we are out hiking or camping in the woods, where she might run into branches etc. I was putting them on to "practice" so she would be use to wearing...

    A Doom and Bobsie Picture

    Cute pictures! :) I'm pretty much use to always having glowing eyes! Since Lucy's pupils are open all the way with her blindness, anytime the light is bright, or I use the flash, the light hits the back of her eyes, so she always has blue/green and/or glowing eyes!

    Can't Find Little Dogs in Shelters?

    Your shelter has super nice pictures.. it does make such a big difference! When we have foster dogs here I always do a photo album for each dog plus videos, so anyone looking at them online can see them from all angles, and a chance to see them in action. They always get adopted so much faster...

    Update on my grooming venture!

    Thanks! :D I'm still pinching myself... I can't believe that things have fallen in place like they have! I had another dog today last minute that the wife found me online. I figured it was going to take me a lot of local advertising & word of mouth before I'd get much business, but have been...

    Update on my grooming venture!

    Thanks Renee!! :) That's great you are a Terrier Mom now too! Do you have a picture of Tallulah? Lucy is doing GREAT... yes... there is no stopping that girl! Did you see the pictures I posted earlier of Lucy "exercising" the ducks in the pond? Let me see if I can find the link in case...
