She's so cute at the dog park. Whenever she gets overwhelmed I come down to her level and we play mini-fetch. I throw the ball (pine cone, stick, whatver) about two feet away and she pounces on it and brings it back. I toss the ball futher and further away from me. It seems to calm her down to...

I weighed the puppy today and could have cried. 30 pounds! She needs to stop growning. She's getting big so fast. She is still really skittish and fearful, but daily trips to the dog park seem to be helping. Although, she will only play with pugs, chihuahuas, and mini doxies. She's doing great...

Ruckus is about a year and a half and Melee is about 10 1/2 weeks. They have such different personalities. Ruckus is stubborn and oblivious to his surroundings. Melee is eager to please and alert. They are both trouble makers, though.

My American Bulldog, Ruckus, and my boyfriends Cane Corso/pit mix, Melee. They get along great. I'm a little worried that Ruckus never seems to tell her enough or correct her for biting hard, even though he is covered in little wounds. Not only does he let her in his crate, he lets...

She's stopped her funny walking. It looked like she was spreading her hind legs to far apart, but now she doesn't do it. She's due for another shot next week and I'll bring it up again. MAybe it was an injury or she was weak from lack of exercise? As long as she's not limping I'll wait until she...

He also went out and bought a $20,ooo car that we can't afford and don't need. Then he told me he was depressed and going through a rough patch. Like that makes it all better. The pup is a handful. She will wake up, pee, snuggle up in her puddle, and go back to bed. She couldn't care less. It...

I knew I couldn't keep the male pitbull. I had every intention of finding him a good home, but I started getting attached. I was pretty depressed about not having a pup in the house, so I guess my boyfriend thought he was doing me a favor. He found another dog that needed help that I could...

I completely agree. I have a strick adoption only policy. I refuse to support any breeder when there are so many dogs out there that are in need of a good home. The man who breed this dog and her brothers mixed his pit bull and his cane corso to make a bigger, meaner looking bully type dog...I'm...

I was pushed, by my boyfriend, into giving up a pitbull puppy I had taken in. I understood where he was coming from...I already have an American Bulldog male that is iffy around other dominate males...the agreement for living together was that each have one dog, I have my dog and he has his...

Well, Little pup found a new home. I found a vet tech to take him in. Her dog is about on his last leg and she had been looking for a fixer upper to take in. I was getting attached. I had started calling him Pip and really didn't want to give him up. My only fears were that I have a male...

I can not believe how big this puppy is getting. He's gained two pounds already! He's about 6 pounds at this point. The man that 'found' him had a female pit in the back yard that had nipples to her knees...I think this is his mother...any ideas on what the father is? These are from when...

A rat all the way! I'm not really big on cats. I have too many other animals (birds, lizards, etc.) that just wouldn't mesh with a cat anyway. I do have sugargliders and I love them and will probably always have a few. That being said, I would not recommend them to anyone. They require a...

English Mastiffs - need to be socialized often as pups to avoid fear based aggression. -give off enough hair (just due to their size) to supply every bird nest in the neighborhood - STUBBORN...my Xander would turn his head and ignore me when I gave him a command he didn't want to hear. Not...

Just wanted to give you all an update. Things are going well. There were no signs of any mange in his scrapings. For all I know the poor pup had a reaction to something he ate and the breeder, thinking it was mange, over treated him and only made the condition worse. I'm not planning on doing...

I am taking a skin scraping and doing his fecal because I have a degree in biological sciences and have worked in the medical field for the past 7 years. I am more comfortable behind the lense of my microscope than I am behind the wheel of my car. I am using tea tree oil in a olive oil...

I have dewormed him. He was receintly dipped when I got him because he reaked of medication. He has been eating (soft holistic puppy food mixed with milk suppliment). I have been giving him vitimins also. He is not itching at all. There is no discharge from his nose, breathing sounds fine, eyes...

Hello. I am new to the boards and looking for some advice. My name is Jess and I live in NC. While looking at cars for my boyfriend today, we were approached by the salesman. He asked if we wanted a puppy. He had a blue pitbull pup that he was giving away. He claimed to have found it on...
