All my dogs get only DHPP and rabies. I don't do bordetella, corona, giardia, etc. At 3 years old, I stop getting them DHPP shots and just do titer tests every year and they get the 3 year rabies because it is required by law. The titer tests are more expensive than vacinations, but I'd rather...

Hmm, he sounds like a "trainer" we have here in the Springs... "Mutt Master" Bob Warren. He's a con artist that's pretty much banned from all training clubs and centers here, so he had to start his own place. If you go to any training center (besides his) around here and ask about him, you will...

At a nightclub :) My 2 sisters and a friend drug me there that night, not long after I had gotten out of an abusive relationship. I really wasn't looking to meet anyone that night, but now I'm glad that I went. :)

I do the same as DanL, pack a cooler of about a week's worth and they shop when I get to my destination, except when I'm flying, then I just shop when we get there. Funny story though (and a bit of a warning). Don't put the cooler behind the driver's side seat! I ended up getting into a wreck...

Lol, it's called pareidolia/matrixing. :) (sorry, I'm into paranormal research and this happens all the time, not that this is paranormal or anything) Your brain doesn't know what the smell is exactly, so it connects it to the most familiar scent it can. In your case, your brain thinks puppy...

I believe it's a personal choice, however I wouldn't do it. My dad was military for 25 years and we ALWAYS took our animals with us, no matter where we moved, even when we went to Germany for 2 years. (so the having to get rid of our animals cause we're military and moving doesn't fly with me...

With Rhea, I've pretty much hit a wall, I don't know what else to teach her! She knows so many commands and I can't think of much more to teach her. When we were training, she caught onto everything pretty fast. The hardest thing to teach her was to activate the life alert phone without me...

The alert is inherited, some dogs do it, others won't. I got pretty lucky with Rhea, she just started doing it one day. I'm hoping maybe Qenna will pick it up, but if not that's ok. The response part is actually pretty easy to train for. Later on she'll be trained to lay on top of me during a...

Sure! Just come on out to Colorado! :)

Aww, that sucks... Haha, sounds like the town where my sister lives! Cripple Creek, a big gambling town is about 7 miles away, but no one really ventures up to Victor much where she lives. They say the town has a population of almost 600 but I swear I've only seen the same 40 or so people...

Oh, the flash is bright! Last one...

I want on the couch! Her and her elephant (which is got for $5 at Kohls! Pretty cheap dog toy and they don't have any beans in them plus they're a pretty good size!)

Hogging 2 toys to herself I got you tail!

Sorry, just couldn't help myself, lol. She's now 9 weeks old and weighs 14 pounds. She's also gotten her service dog in training bandana from the Service Dog organization and gets to go places now. But most stores won't let me take pics there. Anyway, here are the pics! She loves her big...

Amen to that! My sister has one and while he's cute, he's a pain in the butt. (the nights we've spent chasing that dog through the woods for hours when he slipped out the front door past anyone coming in or out!) I don't think I will EVER have one, especially after spending time with hers, lol...

I don't drive right now, but hubby usually drives my little 2005 Kia Rio, the first car I ever bought on my own! Now I just get to look at it and ride in it, lol. But when I used to drive it, poor thing goes 0-60 in about 5 minutes, but its got some great gas mileage (about 38mpg if its had an...

Hey Tess, I know how you feel. I can't have a job cause I can't drive right now (hubby works 18 hour shifts so he can't drive me places and the bus doesn't come anywhere near base), so I started my own grooming/training business that I run out of my home. I can only do military dog owners...

I do grooming for military dog owners and charge $2.00 for small dogs and $5.00 for large dogs. Most of the grooming shops around here charge $10-15.

I've pretty much come to the realization that this will be a part of my daily life from here on out, so if I can help other people going through the same things (whether with themselves or pets) by sharing my experiences, I'm glad to do it. :) I also found this for you, might help you some...

I can't tell you anything about dog seizures because I've never had a dog with seizures before, but I have them myself and can answer some of your questions from the human perspective (I can't imagine dog's seizures being too different) Remember, these are all from the human perspective of...
