How do you react when she's acting afraid? Your responses to her actions are very important here. For example: if she's acting afraid of the toy, and you're holding it out to her trying to encourage her to take it, you're only reinforcing that the toy actually is a scary thing. When we try to...

I hope it goes well!

I don't suppose getting him pooped right out before bed time might calm his urges? At least maybe he'd be too tired :p I've never dealt with intact critters really so I don't know if his drive will overcome his pooped-ness, lol. Earplugs all the way, one of my kittens is in heat (spay in...

I have two female dogs, and we all get along fine! Like has been said though, it all has to do with the dog. I've never had a male dog before, never had any dogs or much experience with them before these two, but unless my next dog "falls" into my lap again and is female, I would like a...

You really think so? Because I see Nyah in Kye like crazy.

You're welcome! Hope he settles in and feels better.

Did you just bring him home? Which food caused him to break out? Does he have allergies? What are you feeding now? Sorry, just trying to understand better :) Kibble usually takes at least 10-12 hours to digest completely, so I don't think that part is a huuge cause for concern. Of course, if...

I never noticed that! But I did notice Ginger had a different blaze about four times. Totally hafta watch that again :)

As far as I could ever tell, with mixes size seems to be pretty irrelevant half the time...Rio is a bc/husky and although she's stocky she's only in the 30ish pound range. Yeah that's what she seems to be. Any insight as to which of the hound variety? lol. I know it's hard to tell really.

So here's my Kye, I adopted her November 28, 2008 from the St. Paul Animal Shelter. My vet record says she was born July 2, 2008 but I've been given two different dates, so sometime in July is the verdict on that. She weighs about 47 pounds and measures 27 inches around the deepest part of...

If it makes me feel better, can I compare it to my brother and I only visiting Dad one-on-one to make the visit more...enjoyable? :p that kinda makes me feel better. It's almost like I needed to hit that rock bottom of "I can't do any more for her than I have, someone else needs to take over...

Um..Good Owners, Great Dogs by Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson. Familiar with them at all?

I've been looking at this book, and it's more about teaching the human how to deal with the dog, I think. I'm in a wierd mind frame right now, kinda. All morning I was completely devastated that okay, this might be what I have to do, but now, I have this book, it was a gift to use as a tool...

Well at least she got both child cruelty and animal cruelty...I couldn't even really imagine how tramautic that would have been for that boy.

I wish we had a "thank you" button!

Awe, I love you guys. Made me cry again. Read my above post though! I was writing it while the two of you were replying to me. We have a guardian angel!

Hang on, lol, read farther...I just wanted to acknowledge your post :) what type of liability issues? I never thought of that. You'll never guess what happened this afternoon. Rio and I have a guardian angel it seems.... I got the guts to ask a customer at work (pet health food) about...

Thanks. It makes me feel better to know it's not just me that feels this way. There's no way she'd go to anyone who hasn't handled these issues before...and I want it to be a household with no other dogs or kids. There's no way I'd let her go to just anybody, she's not a "just anybody" dog...

Yeah I've kinda come to that conclusion, it's just hard...

This whole idea just scares me.
