It has been a while since i have been on this board, but i remember (I think) a sticky that had a whole list of bad foods for dogs and why they are bad. every thing from grapes to tomatoes to chocolate. Does anybody know where this list is? Or am i just wrong?

The other day I fed Thor his usual EVO, and when I did I saw something BRIGHT red (think Coke can red) in a peice of Kibble. I picked that peice up and broke it up, and there was something that seemed like a peice of a rubber washer in it. Just a small peice of red rubber. Anyone else seen...

I brought a laser pointer home the other day, and started to mess around with thor with it. He LOVED it. or hated it. Whatever you want to say, he sure did want to eat the dot. Does anyone else play with their dog with one? If so, do the dogs ever get tired of the game?

A lady at my work is looking to temporarly re-home their puppy, a 5 month old 5.6 lb (breed currently unknown to me) puppy. She is asking if I can re-home the dog for anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. I currently have Thor, who weighed in at 44.4 lbs yesterday at the vet...

Thor *sometimes* points like a pointer would. right leg up, paw bent into his body. Does this generally only happen in pointer breeds, or do many dogs exhibit this? Thanks.

I took Thor out yesterday to the park and did LONG distance fetches. Since we were not at a fenced park I had him on a long line. Basically some light-weight nylon cord that I have had for a while. It is about as thick as clothes line, but a LOT stronger. I had the cord in my hand, and threw...

Thor doesnt like motorcycles. Not a bit. Yesterday on the way to the dog park, though, a motorcycle pulled behind my car. Thor went ballistic. He was trying so hard to chase the thing away from my car. To be honest, it was hilarious. Then he jumped into the front seat. big NO-NO for Thor...

After Thor spends some time in the kennel he has a hump in his back, and limps around for a bit. is this normal for dogs coming out of a kennel.

It is amazing what some folks think is a "good"-looking pit bull. It seems that the real pit bull look is "not cool" anymore. www.ratemypitbull.com I ran across this in the www.game-dog.com forums. I suggest the web-page for any pit bull lovers/owners, and the forums are pretty good...

I got Thor from the pound. He was the best dog there, and he and I hit it off from the get go. even the day before, when I first discounted him b/c he was "too mouthy", I think that he knew that we were going to be together. I saw other people walk to his cage, and he didnt get excited. (didnt...

I just posted a LONG thread about dog park stuff, and it got lost in cyber space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! I will try and put it all down later. basically it boiled down to a couple of things: Take timid dogs to the timid dog area. 3/4 y.o...

nevermind. sorry

I finally got the Evo food. I am getting low on his current food, and so I got the Evo to start the swap. Thor LOVES it. (He thinks that it is treats) I have given it to him in the kong, and he is slurping down the science diet/Evo mix faster than I can make it! Not a question, just a...

Thor has finally started to lose a LOT of teeth. I dont have any idea how old he is, and thought that this may be a good indicator of age. I figure the 16th week or so.

http://www.spotsociety.org/fatedog.html This is a tear jerker... be warned. it is not bloody or anything, but it is sad :(

Thor had an accident in the crate today! He is generally REALLY good about kennel training, but he went #2 in there today, and I am afraid that this could be a MAJOR set-back in our training! is this true? I kennel him at 7:45am. went home for lunch at 11:00, let him out, he ate, drank went...

OK folks, I know that I ask a lot of questions, and dont contribute much, and I am sorry, but another question!I have been looking around online, and I have found nothing that address my questions, hence the reason that I am asking here: I enjoy taking Thor to the dog park. I know that many...

I know that you are not supposed to run with a puppy, as it can damage their skelatal systems and growth plates, but what if the puppy WANTS to run? I mean he grabs the leash and pulls me as a pretty good jog for a 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile. Is that bad if i am following him, and he is not following me?
