    Your dogs favorite toy?

    Kong or rubber tire. The kongs lasts long. Just wish they made them in a bigger size in black!

    Peeing?

    It sounds very much like submissive urination. Good news is it's fixable, bad news is it's a long slow road. You need to build her confidence back up and it's key to remove her from any situation that is reinforcing her submissiveness. Take a look on google for submissive urination and you'll...

    Peeing?

    How does she act just before and when she is peeing? Does she look excited or jump up on the guys?

    3yr old child killed by 4 dogs in Oz

    I don't believe it... "The NSW Government has announced it will review its dangerous dog laws following yesterday's mauling." http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/01/08/2461548.htm :(:(:(

    3yr old child killed by 4 dogs in Oz

    Seems a 3yr old has been killed and a 16 month hurt by 4 "bull-mastiff cross breeds" Absolutely terrible loss, I just hope this isn't used by the Australian Nanny State to further strengthen BSL. :mad: "The dogs, not a restricted breed, have no history of violence" Sadly all I think...

    Pit Bull Saves Family From Intruder

    Nice feel good story then that last sentence! :( I find it hard to understand how people can just give away a member of the family. If you have another child you don't give one away cause you only have one bedroom!

    How bad is seawater for my dog?

    Drinking seawater will cause a rise in the levels of sodium in the blood. This has the effect of dehydrating the bodies cells. The only way the body has of getting rid of the salt build up in the blood through drinking seawater is through urine and as non-sea dwelling mammals can't produce urine...

    Still greiving?

    I don't think you ever really stop grieving. You learn to cope that's all.

    Seeing more aggressive labs...........rant!

    So very true. Living in a country where they have breed specific legislation and owning breeds that can be classed as dangerous everyday is a potential minefield. Absolutely stupid when my 'dangerous' dogs have never caused any trouble but have been attacked plenty of times by so called safe...

    Dog food recalls

    Hi just wondering if anyone knows a good source for dog food recall news. I check the FDA and have a google alert for "dog food recall" but I was wondering if there is a site that collects all the recall news or something like that? Thanks!

    New website offering dog beds made from recycled soda bottles

    Great idea! Do you ship internationally? Although I suppose shipping it half way around the world would cancel out any green benefit from the recycling!!

    Feeding Raw -- Once A Day? Or Twice?

    How old are they? If they are still pups then 2 times a day is recommended. If they are older then once a day should be fine. The best test is always how the dogs look and act. If they look lean and aren't loosing any muscle mass and have plenty of energy then it's all good!

    What are your thoughts on dog parks?

    It's a shame but in Australia the places you can take your dogs are seriously limited as all national parks are off limits. There are a few dog parks but personally I find the fun taken out of it when I have to stay extra alert for 'problem' dogs. I've had my dogs attacked a couple of times...

    Dogs and Children - shouldn't mix

    Just got back from a walk and the playground is full of very young children running in and out where the dogs are screaming. It's totally irresponsible for the park designers to allow this as it's only a matter of time before someone's child gets hurt and someone's dog gets put down :(

    We Did It!

    Great job! The raw diet is obviously far more natural and healthy esp in light of the ongoing recalls! My boys love raw heart mince and chicken, although I do steam the vegetables :)
