I haven't been around in a while, but have been lurking a bit now that our "puppy" is about 5 1/2. Megan was only 5 or 6 months when we took the pics in the signature. Time sure does fly! We are looking at getting a second dog, and my husband brought up the idea of a Newfoundland. My husband...

I think that I'm going to try rotating Meg's food around a bit. She's had good luck on EVO small bites turkey and chicken but I want to find another protein source at least. I know EVO has a red meat small bites, but I was hoping to try another brand this time. The problem is that I can't...

I've noticed a lot of people rotate their food. Is it necessary or healthy for the dog? Meg has been on the same kibble (EVO small bites) for the last three years and has done wonderfully. We free feed her every day and she's maintained a healthy weight (between 7 and 7.5 lbs.) The vet said...

Hi...Just wanted to pop my head in and introduce myself again. I was on the boards on and off a while ago, but haven't checked in for a long time. Hopefully real life will allow me to stick around a bit more this time. I'm a mom of 3 in WI and we have one four year old papillon named...

Just thought I'd check back in here since I was around a couple of years back, but have not been on the board for ages. I see a lot of the same people, and a lot of new ones, too. Still married in WI with 3 sons (older now) and one spoiled dog. Megan (a Papillon) is just over 3 now, and I...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/obama_abortion_ban;_ylt=AtjhyFUZZ8RfeXckJvULDd3Zn414 With MY tax dollars?? Don't we have enough to spend on programs in the US? Thoughts?

Megan (our 10 month old papillon) is in her first heat. No, we are NOT breeding her, but made an educated decision to wait until 18 months to 2 years to spay her. We don't have any other dogs, and are being VERY careful about keeping her on a leash at all times when outdoors. Anyway, since...

Okay...time for everyone to fess up... What's the worst thing your dog has destroyed in your home? Up until tonight, I would have said shoes, but tonight Megan got a hold of an ink pen, and proceeded to chew it all over our sofa, hardwood floors, and herself. So, my misery needs...

I wanted to get everyone's opinion on this one. We gave Megan a dose of Heartgard last week (her third one, and she's never had problems with the first two.) We gave it to her in the middle of the afternoon, and she wouldn't take dinner. By nine or so in the evening, she started vomiting...

Megan is my first dog, so when she experience a "reverse sneezing" episode tonight, it scared the crap out of me. :yikes: Really, I was ready to pull her into the car and speed off to vet. Luckily, I had a friend on the phone who calmed me down. (Also an owner of 3 dogs) I did call the vet...

Any thoughts or opinions? Has anybody tried EVO and then switched to TOTW or another grain-free food?

How awful is this.... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,400041,00.html :confused: Poor thing.

What does everybody think of this? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080805/hl_nm/korea_clones_dc I wonder if she'll keep all 5?

Megan is 6 months old, today.... (and every bit of the teenager she's supposed to be) Don't let the innocent act fool you...;) BTW, I don't know why her ears show up so red like that in pictures? They're not really like that.

We're having Megan spayed in a couple of weeks. We opted for the pre-anesthesia blood work. (extra $50 in addition to the regular $175.00) They also offer I.V and cath. during surgery for another $50.00. I opted for that by "vet discretion" rather than just doing it from the get-go. Any...

....and Megan is taking advantage of the poor little guy... ....he's really been a good puppy so far!! :D

Here are some pics of the litter I'm sitting this weekend. They got here on Thursday, and will leave on Monday. They are a cross of Golden Retriever (mom is clipped for the summer) and Cocker Spaniel (who is obviously black). This was obviously a "oops" litter. They will be 3 weeks old on...

Megan graduated from her basice obedience class and we're already signed up for level two starting next month. I feel like she's got so much to learn, but she's doing really well. I really like the trainer, and feel that we were extremely lucky to find her. Just had to brag!!

As I stated before, I'm watching a friend's dog, and her "accidental" litter of 12 puppies for four days while her family is out of town.... A bit of info...they are half Golden (mom) and half Cocker Spaniel (dad). Right now they are just shy of 3 weeks, and there are 12!! of them. Mainly...

I was wondering how many of you have a household with both large and small dogs? We were always planning on getting a larger dog, and Megan kind of fell into my lap. I adore her, and may get another Papillon at some point, but I always wanted to have a larger breed as well. (One of my...
