    dog seizure

    My 4 year old female australian shepherd had a seizure this morning. It was her first as far as I know. We were both asleep on the bed when it started. I freaked out, but remained calm and just kept petting her. WHAT DO I DO??? I made a vet appointment for next week. She seems ok...

    Who Gets The Dog?

    Did you know that the Animal Cops show is all about the Humane Society in whatever area they are in and they go and rescue neglected/abused animals? **** I HATE the idea of using dolphins for military purposes or ANY animal for that matter. Makes me :mad:

    Who Gets The Dog?

    I personally love the Animal Planet network. I've watched the, "Who gets the Dog", show three or four times now and have found nothing wrong with it. There is a lot of discussion about the basics of training, what to do and what not to do, what to expect from adopting a new dog, etc. I think...

    Anti-Docking Campaing

    They have had crop and docks since the breed was created . Dogs have evolved into what they are now, not "created". People have tried to fine-tune the breeds by selective breeding and in a lot of cases, inbreeding, which in turn has brought on a whole realm of chronic health problems. Ever...

    Anti-Docking Campaing

    Are you for real? I mean, it's to make the animals "look right" ??! According to whom? Are we God? the great spirit or whoever, whatever you believe in? I'm sorry, this animal doesn't "look right' let's cut off it's tail and reshape it's ears and maybe it will look more like it's supposed...

    Anti-Docking Campaing

    The animals are BORN with their tails and long ears for a reason. It's their natural genetic make-up. Yes, you do have a different looking animals with all the modifying. The animal looks more menacing especially in the dobermans case-- why would someone want that? To reflect on the...

    Anti-Docking Campaing

    I hate tail docking and ear cutting. Too much like human cosmetic surgery for me. Modifying an animal to please our eyes. Sick. I too have a dog (an australian shepherd) who had her tail docked. It was before she was six weeks old. The family who I got her from started breeding their...

    New dog, perhaps...

    awwww, you gals are GREAT! Thanks. My bf loves Maiven or at least I thought he did. We just had a lot of issues that were really bothering me. He's a bit older (52 this month) and I'm 37 and I guess he's rather set in his ways on certain things. We've been breaking up and then getting...

    New dog, perhaps...

    Thanks Renee, I did break up with him-- for lots of other issues too! I guess this was sort of a test to see how he would respond---just exactly as I thought. It's something that's needed to happen for a long time. Now, I just gotta be strong and not give way to my wishy-washy heart and...

    New dog, perhaps...

    Well, my bf decided that now is not the time for a new dog. :( Of course the woman who was interested in adopting this dog has changed her mind and I am left heartbroken. I just need to find my own place where I can fill my need to have other dogs. And find a partner who loves animals as...

    Jackson Browne's ears smell like Fritos

    Maybe I'm weird---(I know I am), but I ~LOVE~ the way Maiven's ears smell. Makes me think of her when she was a puppy. Whenever I smell her ears she turns around and gives me kisses and looks at me like I'm strange. :D lol

    New dog, perhaps...

    I've latched on to this beautiful rescue Australian Shepherd and am wanting to adopt him. I've been talking to my b/f about it and he is thinking....of the idea. We have Maiven, my three year old aussie girl, and I know she would love the company. I'm so excited about this BUT someone else...

    You're welcome! This quote is from a book, yes. I think it's just wonderful and pretty much sums it all up beautifully. Struck a chord deep within myself without a doubt.

    Dog saves child in India

    I did read that about animals and their sixth sense. No surpise to me. Animals are --in their own ways-- much more highly evolved than we make them out to be. Here's one of my all-time favorite quote that for me says it all.... "We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical...
