    Is it true that show dogs must

    As I said before, I think this woman is either delusional or wants the best of both worlds........and you can't have it both ways, but when I saw that his registration was limited, I thought to myself, what the heck??????

    Is it true that show dogs must

    I am sorry that things turned out the way that they did but believe me, the next time I want a puppy, I will be very careful in picking out the breeder as I would in picking out the dog!!! Also, it's unfortunate that my experience with the show dog scene was "dog eat dog" but since I never...

    Is it true that show dogs must

    I didn't do the flipping, she did. She showed us the dog, we said we'd love to take him and that was that. By the next week, she was changing her mind, and my husband told her, that we'd be glad to take a different dog, but don't give it to us unless you really want to and her reply was...

    Is it true that show dogs must

    Apparently, the breeder of my puppy is a bit delusional. First off, the dog was given a limited AKC registration. Secondly, my first e-mail to the woman stated that I wanted a pet and NOT a show dog. Thirdly, there is NOTHING in the contract for this puppy that states ANYTHING about...

    Val was traumatized at the Vet with nail trimming. I am trying to desensitize his paws before I even attempt to clip them. Is there any type of trimmer that is best for a dog that absolutely freaks at nail trimming? Any tips on trimming nails of dog that has been traumatized with his...

    I'm dying my hair today...

    My natural color is almost black that is now almost all gray; since I have hypothyroidism, and take Synthroid, that tends to make one get gray early. I keep my hair long and it's still pretty thick and if I did it myself, I'd destroy the bathroom, so I allow myself a visit to the parlor once a...

    Marry for money? What about for occupation?

    My mother always said, "you can love a rich man as good as you can a poor man"...I married for "musta been nuts" the first time and for love the second time around. There is an old Chinese saying "When poverty comes in the door, love goes out the window". I don't think I am going to...

    akc to allow mixed breed dogs

    I have joined the Australian Shepherds of America group.....they were the first group that addressed the Aussie as a breed and to this day promote the herding, agility, et al., virtues of the Aussie, not just the frou-frou stuff of the AKC conformation stuffs.

    Fun at Puppy Class!!

    Val met a girlfriend at his puppy class, where he was a bit bored and barkey when the trainer did her talking and she did talk. There was an adorable Labradoodle, named Stella, asleep during the lecturing. Of course, Val took a shine to the little lady..... We were in training for over an...

    Well, in this ligitigenous society that we live in, no company or product maker can be too careful in making sure that products are out of the reach of the kiddies, no matter how hard it makes for other peoples to open them.

    Doggie Smell?

    I've had trouble with my vacuum cleaner; powders and such seem to gum up the works, maybe from moisture mixed with powders, so I've stopped using powder material for now. The remaining carpets in my downstairs are old and we have hardwood floors underneath them. I am using a Bissell Pet...

    I need a job and a place to live.

    I was like that one time in my life; I wanted to move to California, but never did because I had just met what was to become my husband of 22 years, when I was going to move to cali. Good thing I stayed, though, or I'd never have had my dear son or hub., so it was a happy ending and everyone...
