    How to keep coat from drying out

    Roscoe is ALL BOY and he LOVES getting really dirty! As a consequence, he gets a bath at least once a week, and sometimes two or three times per week. Our concern is that we're going to dry his fur (and skin) out too much. He's a terrier mix, so he doesn't really have smooth, soft, fur to...

    We currently have a full house (people and dogs) and various people working/coming and going at all hours of the day and night. Since my son has moved back in with us, Roscoe's been sleeping in our bedroom, initially in his crate, but he's been sleeping in bed with us for about a month now. The...

    Emergency recall & release cues

    How do I insert photos in my signature and replies to posts? Every time I try inserting one in my signature, it says it failed to download. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    Feeling mushy

    We've now had our boy Roscoe 1.5 weeks and he has completely worked his way into our hearts, lives, thoughts, and home. We absolutely adore this little guy and love him like crazy. Even though he's only approx 9 weeks old, it's obvious to us that he's, by far, the most intelligent dog we've...

    Have to share my nail trimming success story!!

    Last night I trimmed Roscoe's nails while he was happily chewing away on one of his chew toys and he didn't even notice me trimming! :thumbsupsmileyanim: I don't know how easily I can replicate that scenario, but I certainly will try! It was later in the evening and he was semi relaxed and...

    Best position for trimming nails?

    I posted this in the puppy forum, but I'm not sure if it might be more appropriate here, so I apologize for the double post... We're working on handling Roscoe's feet and associating the nail clippers/dremel with good times. (Roscoe's our 8-9 week old puppy terrier mix that we adopted 1 week...

    Best position for trimming nails?

    We're working on handling Roscoe's feet and associating the nail clippers/dremel with good times. (Roscoe's our 8-9 week old puppy terrier mix that we adopted 1 week ago.) I'm also trying to learn how to hold/handle him when we do start trimming his nails again. The last time I attempted I...

    Saying hello from NW Florida

    Hello fellow dog lovers! I live in NW Florida with the hubby, one non-fur child (my oldest has already moved out and has his own fur kid these days), Roscoe, the newest addition to our family, and Cosmo, our cranky, temperamental cockatiel. We just adopted our boy Roscoe (an 8-week-old terrier...
