    Nutro Natural Choice??

    I'm sure this is a question that has been asked before but, I did a search and didn't really see anything helpful after 3 pages. SO... here ya go. We've been feeding Canidae. But, due to cost and gas prices, we're going to have to switch to another food (the only place near us that sells...

    Neutering Question

    Ya'll are preaching to the choir here. Dh is the one who'd have to take him into the clinic as I'd be working on those days it is open. When he starts to get a bit aggressive, we re-direct him, make him sit and look at us, then move him away from the situation.

    Neutering Question

    Our 1.5 yr old mutt, Gerorge, is intact. My DH could not bear the thought of the procedure, so we haven't had it done. Lately George exhibits more aggressive behavior towards other dogs (not all dogs mind you, just some). Would this behavior be eliminated or alleviated if we were to get...

    Seattle Vet Recommendations

    Hi All- It has been a really really long time since I've visited, but... I have a question for you. There is a specific vet in the seattle area that I remember seeing recommended on several boards. (I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for) The vet clinic I'm looking for...

    Lord Have Mercy on the little children

    I would call. It doesn't matter if they even come out, they should now have a record of your call. The main reason of your call may not even be the 'spankings' but the unsupervised children. That you did see with your own eyes. You can then related the 'spankings' you heard, but not as your...

    Ever given a dog away?

    We haven't, but one of our friends did. He and his wife and 1.5 yr old son adopted Sugar from a shelter. Don't remember the breed. Sugar was very rambunctions and liked to play. Not a bad thing... But, they didn't really have the time to put into Sugar. So, when they were away their house...

    Anyone else need new toys every few days?

    George loves to toss and shake his toys. He prefers stuffed animals, but it'll take him about 45 min or so and stuffing is leaking. He has so much fun with them though I hate to take them away permenantly. So, he gets one every once in a while, wait 'till the stuffing leaks, then I put it up...

    Question about vaccines

    Yep, it is a reaction to the Vaccination. Sometimes it happens, other times it doesn't. Your Dr. should have told you about all the possible side-effects from Soreness on up before you got the shot.

    MY trip to the Groomer tomorrow!

    Hair will grow back, I promise. Even if they make a mistake, with long hair it would be a lot easier to fix because you have more options then if it was short. I had long hair (tucked into pants when getting dressed long) cut it a few times, made sure enough was cut off to donate to...

    Exporting Dogs

    Can I bring my pets to Ireland? If you want to bring pets (cats and dogs) with you to Ireland you should know that on the arrival they have to be put in quarantine for a period of 6 months. The only exemption from this rule are pets coming from Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the Isle of...

    Men....and dancing.....= TERROR

    I'm lucky in that the only thing holding us back from dance lessons is money. Otherwise I already have his word that he'd take them. Come on guys... Advantages to danceing: You get to lead, be in charge, direct (does that really happen elsewhere?) Everyone starts out bad, you will get...

    Teaching Stand and other questions...

    Great advice, I'll be trying some of it soon. What I've been doing is having him sit, I take a step back and then say stand. He thinks it means come, he'll get up and then walk around me. Not that he has far to go, but still. I'm happy that he gets up out of his sit and stands, but he...

    Teaching Stand and other questions...

    George knows: Sit, Stay, Lay Down, Come, No, etc... We're working on loose leash walking (When he pulls on pleasure walks I stop and won't move until he comes back to me and then we start forward again. ) and heel (He's to walk at my left, next to my left leg, slightly behind, and sit when...

    High Heels are so bad!!!!

    There is just something about heels that change my whole outlook for myself. I feel sexier, more feminine and desireable. I don't know what it is. I don't wear them all that often though. Just practice practice practice. Heel-toe heel-toe. Try not to walk like a horse :) and walk a...

    Stink-Butt??

    well, I took him to go play with Mick again the next day... didn't happen again.. Thank Goodness! He played outside for 3 hours with Mick and Molly (mick's mom) and they ran him ragged, wow was he one tired puppy for the rest of the day. So, i'll look into a good grooming session with...

    Stink-Butt??

    oh man... Since we don't have enough to extra money to pay for a vet visit to evacuate glands... we'll either have to do it ourselves, (yuck) or maybe a groomer??? We'll see. I'm sure I'll let you know. :)

    Stink-Butt??

    This is what my sister calls it and she's had dogs (and a litter) a lot longer then I. Although, growing up on a farm with dogs, I never remember smelling this. George (intact male, 9mo ish old) was outside playing with Mick (my sister's neutered beagle/jack russel) and when they came in...

    any good name suggestions for a boy?

    Do you have a criteria for names? Trendy, popular, classic, unusual etc... Aiden and Ethan are in the top 3/5 most popular names for boys in 05. I remember a Kenneth in High School. Never went by Kenny. In this day and age i'd stay away from Kenny 'cause of the South Park...
