It's been 2 years since we adopted the rescue known as Smokey and changed his name to Rocky, and he has been the sweetest pup to me and my fiance (husband in 17 days eee!). However, when he comes across another dog in our area, he'll ALWAYS snarl and lunge and bark at them, tail wagging, and...

Hi all, I haven't been on these forums in a while, I almost forgot about it until my dog started doing something and I thought it would be good to get some advice. I've had Rocky for almost 2 years now, and he would do this coughing/snorting sound that I thought would be him choking when he...

Hi guys, Rocky has been doing great ... or at least he was until it started to snow here. Ever since the snow stuck on the ground a week or so ago, he will still get excited over the idea of going outside, but once he get's to where he always does his business, or ANYWHERE outside after...

So far Rocky has been doing great in his new home with us. However, when he comes across another dog in our area, he'll sniff them and whatnot and they'll sniff him, then he ALWAYS snarls and lunges at them, tail wagging. This really confuses me. What is he doing? He doesn't bite them...

Well guys, looks like Rocky is getting settled. Only problem is that he's afraid of the cats because Chloe would always smack or hiss at him. Diego is fine with him now, and even sleeps next to him (much to Rocky's disappointment ... Rocky just stares at him thinking he'll attack him like...

Hello all, I adopted Rocky, a chihuahua mix about 3 years old. The rescue I got him from was feeding him Iams, which they sent home with me. He didn't really eat that. I switched to Purina yesterday, and he only picks at it. Any advice/tips?

Hi guys. I just "found" my religion about two months ago and have been studying it little by little ever since. I was baptized Lutheran but never was taken to church, nor was I raised religious. A couple months ago, I did something pretty bad and felt really crappy about it. It weighed on me...

Hello all! I'm having a dillemma. I want Rocky to start being trained, but I'm getting mixed reviews on the best way to do this. Where I live, it's $109 for 8 weeks of training, and that is only the beginner's classes. I'm not sure we can afford this, although we'd like to. However, I...

This may sound like a stupid question to some of you, but being a new dog owner, I'm really curious about it. Why is it that our new dog (Rocky, a chihuahua mix of some sort, male, about 3) is already super attached to me and not so to my boyfriend? We've both spent about the same time with...

Hi all! So last night we finally got a new doggie! Here is what happened, I think I need some advice. We locked the two cats in the bedroom area and let the dog explore. He was really scared at first, but warmed up to Derek and I very quickly. He was so nervous at first that he didn't...

We were approved to adopt the dog that we wanted! :D:D:D I'm so excited. We have to wait until this weekend to meet him and bring him home, but that is good, it will give us time to prepare. Any tips from you guys? Now that I am knowing in advance that we are getting a dog, I would like to...

Ok guys, this dog has one thing after another going on! Lately Grim has been doing this thing with his head that can only best be described as headbanging. He doesnt' hit his head on anything, but looks like his listening to heavy metal. He'll also do it on a towel or something, where it...

Hello all, Since becoming a member here, I've gotten such great advice from everyone! Being a new dog owner and one who's wasn't planning on being one until I found a dog wandering in the cold rain, I really don't know too much about owning a dog. But this forum has helped so much! Thank...

I have been told Grim is a poodle, but when I look up poodle it gives me this: But this doesn't look like him. His snout isn't as long, as you can see in his pic above this one. So what is Grim?

How we found him (without the collar though): <object allowFullScreen="true" allowNetworking="all" allowScriptAccess="always" data="http://program.flektor.com/program/fplayer.swf" height="340" id="flashapp_683228973" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450"><param...

Hello all, My little Grim didn't have this problem until last night. He woke us up at all hours of the night whining very loudly. When we took him outside to pee, he didn't go, just wandered around sniffing things. I put him back inside the bathroom (we have to keep him closed up in our...

Hi there! A few days ago, my boyfriend and I were out renting a video and as we were backing up out of the parking lot, my boyfriend suddenly exclaimed, "Woah, what is that?!" We put the car in park and got out to look, and found a small, very scared, very cold, wet dog (it was misting out)...
