    Dog's Tummy is Growling

    Yes. May be nothing to worry about if there aren't any other symptoms. Is he eating? How is his demeanor? Normal/happy? Lethargic? Are stools normal? When our dog gets sick, the first sign is the growly stomach. She has IBD and is prone to inflammation, bloody stool, lethargy, loss of...

    Noncarpet floors, do you vacuum or sweep?

    I have a back-pac vac which we use to first vacuum all the moldings, then the floors. Then we clean the hardwoods with a Bona mop and the tile floors with a standard sponge mop & cleaner. My husband likes to use a dust mop on the hardwoods but I think that just pushes the dirt from one place...

    Is it bad?

    I have much more fun buying things for my dog than for myself, too. And she's more appreciative!

    What is the price of year round dog health care?

    Annual costs depend on a lot of things, as others have posted. If one of your goals is to keep the cost down... - get a well-bred dog from a reputable breeder & pick a breed with few health issues. The dog will cost more to buy, but on average it will pay off in terms of long-term good...

    Bully Stick & Pukey Dog

    I've had luck with Merrick's flossies - the curl keeps her engaged longer and there's practically no odor. Some of the bullies I used to get for her were pretty stinky and had been treated with something that would upset her tummy.

    Just a bit of a vent

    I so agree!! Whether the dog is fearful, like mine, or wants to be the life of the party, having non-dog people in your house can be a PITA, I agree. Finally, after a year and a half of being back in my home state, my family has learned to totally ignore the dog. They'll even feed her the...

    dilemma... requesting advice

    The destroyed comforter has nothing to do with the wedding gift. Treat them as separate issues. If my dog destroyed something that belonged to someone else, even if that person was in some way responsible (e.g. inattention), I would replace it, pronto. It's part of taking responsibility for...

    Kong Goodie Bone?

    One good use for it is to use it to hold nylabones and bullies - you can stuff them into the ends and they let the dog hold the bone at an easier angle for chewing. Beyond that it's not that exciting without something stuffed in it.

    So You Guys Know I Starve Lilo Right?

    Doesn't that make you nuts? Our dog does that every night. She gets 4 c. of kibble, 1 can of wet, a ziggy, and a teaspoon of peanut butter (for last call potty) every day, plus occasional vegetables, fruit, and sometimes a little of whatever meat we had for dinner and you would think we never...

    Stalking the Wild

    Holy crap! (sic) That's about the worst thing I've seen. Can't believe it's not a joke. Not only is it abusive, what dog would want to go with that dangling off its back end? My dog freaks if there's a tiny bit of anything back there. And the failure rate has got to be sky high. Pfffttttt!

    Hello from the midwest!

    Thanks! I see by your tag line that you're alpha rolling dogs over here. Can everyone play or do you have to belong to some secret club for that? We're into dinner rolls at my house...
