Milo's Mommy, I agree with you. You're absolutely right. Why this girl, who I've always known to be very responsible, reasonable and nice, is really overreating. I don't blame her for demanding that the pet owner buy her a new comforter. Pets might poop and have accidents, but if it's your...

Sweet, thank you for your more civil response. I don't agree with you, however, that cat's don't "revenge poop". I have a friend that has managed a large animal hospital for years. Her daughter is a veterinarian and they breed champion Newfoundlands. I spoke with her today and she told me...

I am stunned by how rude you people are. I have to believe that you aren't representative of everyone on this board - I hope not. The girl in the story who's taking the heat for something her dog didn't do is my daughter. Her roommate wants restitution for the bedding and I'm certain that...

OK, here's the story. There are four roommates leasing a house together. Two of them have one dog each. One of the dog owners also has a cat. So a couple of days ago one of the roomies is outside the house and she hears the cat yowling angrily and realizes it's been accidentally locked in...

I called my vet right after posting my message. He was willing to see her right away. He says she doesn't show any evidence of any kind of parasite. He even examined my head and said it looks perfect. She definitely does have some welts on a couple areas of her body and black specks around...

HELP! My 6 1/2 month old Westie, Harlow, developed a bump on her inner front leg where it bends. This one irritated bump began to spread so I took her to the vet. He shaved the area and gave me this wormwood ointment and some special shampoo (he's a holistic vet). Well, after only a few...

OK. Great info. Thanks again for your guidance. I'll keep tweaking.

I so appreciate everyone's input. I'd like to ask for some clarification about a recurring comment in many of your posts. Several of you stated that I need to "tweak my menu". I'm not challenging that suggestion, but I'm left wondering what it means. I've already stated that I don't plan to...

Thanks Everyone. I appreciate your input. I forgot to include the ratio in my vege/meat mixture. I used one part of the vege mix to two parts hamburger. So perhaps that's a better percentage of protein/meat than my original post suggested. I plan to add other types of meats, including organ...

Chazzers, I need your knowledgeable input. I'm feeding my Westie (Harlow) a raw food diet. Recently I started making it myself. I shared my recipe with the breeder who I bought Harlow from. She in turn forwarded my e-mail to a woman who apparently counts herself quite the expert in dog...

OMG, that is one cute dog. So expressive. There's a wise little old man inside that cute little fluffy body.

I need to take my camera and focus some time on getting lots of pics of Harlow before she's all growed up. In the meanwhile, I managed to snap this shot of Harlow chillin. I had the camera in hand cuz I'm photographing shrubbery we just had planted. I'm already wishing I could get another...

Very, VERY cute. Congratulations. Wow, are those feet big...

I LOVE Papillons. One day I'm going to get one to join Harlow (4 month old Westie). Maybe in a about a year. Your dogs are really wonderful.

I wouldn't say annoying, but I do find it frustrating. Let's just say it's very "user unfriendly". I've many times wished posters would just take a few extra seconds and type out the breed name. Once you do that once in a given post you could thereafter abbreviate. My impression is that...

I'm in awe. I love dogs.

Augie is really beautiful!

Thank you for your responses. I tried something tonight that seemed to help. I took Harlow on our walk and when we were five minutes or so into the walk she started up - charging my pant legs. I firmly stated the command, "No biting!" and when she didn't back off I picked her up, my hands...

My Westie puppy is a few days shy of 16 weeks. She's been such a pleasure and is very bright. I've read a few books, lots of articles and eat up all the great advice the many knowledgeable people on this board give, but I have one problem with her I can't seem to solve. She's very mouthy...
