Nope, I know not to give attention when they are doing something you dont want them to. I only put her food down for about 5-10 minutes. If in that time she does not even attempt to eat I pick it up and she doesnt have it offered again until dinner time. Worked yesterday. I just feel so bad for...

Yeah, we told her she cant come a visit for awhile. I feel so bad. It is hard. I just dont know what to do. I sit and talk to her, pet her, we go for walks. I hope that she comes around soon :) Thanks

HI, We recently aquired my sis in laws dog about 3 weeks ago. She was doing fine.... My sis in law came to visit last weekend and since them it has been downhill. She is driving me CRAZY!! I feel bad for her but she doesnt like to go outside to potty and now I have to kiss her butt to eat. She...

Thanks for the advice. I have started my training as a certified dog trainer but only books so far, no hands on lol. Anyway, I will try that. She is usually pretty good when I try to distract her from the cats but every now and then VROOOOOMMMM lol. Thanks again.

Hi, I had posted a bit ago about not sure what kind of dog to get... HAHA we just recently inherited my sis in laws lab mix. She is about 8.5 years old. I say that because my sis in law found her as a stray about 6 - 6.5 years ago and the vest est. her age. Anyway, my sis in law works full time...

Thanks again for all ofyour support and encouragement and advice. I am really taking it the heart. Thanks again - you are all very kind people.

Thank you e1 for all the kind words. I can tell you that a puppy right now is NOT what I am looking for. I guess I tried to save these dogs and trying to do that in a home with a young child just wasnt the best idea. As far as the dog training, I have always wanted to be able to train my own...

I know this might not be the place to write this but I need peace of mind. I know there are people that are going to judge me and I totally understand that. We had a golden of almost 9 years who passed away last September. Anyway, through the course of the last year of his life we tried to...

Oh I know. My son is only going to be 6. He does help but she can be a bit much sometimes LOL. My husband works alot, I am a stay at home mom right now. It is just a bit overwhelming. I just feel like with all her health issues so far things have been crazy.

I was wondering if anyone has ever felt this way. I have posted ALOT about Riley on here. She has been progressing great. We do have setbacks and alot of health issues. I just feel kinda trapped. My poor son is upset because I always have to watch her and if not I feel bad that she is in her...

Yes, she has been pretty good. Today though she seems to be needing to be going out again more often. She is still on her meds. I think I am going to call the vet and see what he thinks. Thanks Oh and yes 3 hours maybe a wee bit more has been the longest so far.

Hi there everyone!! Riley has been doing GREAT!! She has been sleeping all night, good in the house. Alomst finished with her second course of antibiotics. Anyway, today my son and I took a nap after school for about 3 hrs. She peed ALOT in her crate. I dont remember if I heard her whine or not...

That is what I am hoping. I will DEFINATELY watch for any signs of anything out of the ordinary. Thanks so much.

Well I was sitting there with her while she was chewing because I always take it when they get small. She NEVER chews unsupervised. Anyway, I went to get it from her and she swallowed it. She seems ok but I am VERY worried. Any suggestions? I know I could give her peroxide to make her vomit but...

Hi everyone AGAIN LOL. Riley is now on a second course of antibiotics since she still had slight discharge. Anyway, she has been doing wonderful as far as the crate is concerned. Yesterday we left her for about 3 hours and no accident. However recently at night she has been getting me up around...

Ok, Riley has been doing well at night again. 7-8 hrs. During the days she is at daycare she holds it for 2.5 hrs just about. I put her in a smaller crate and it seems to be doing the trick. Thanks to all who gave great advice. At home I am not sure I trust her yet. She is on a leash with me all...

Ok, see to me she looks part pit. I dont know. I tried calling the shelter today because she was an owner surrender. No luck. I was just curious. Thanks so much.

LOL thanks. Riley is a girl though :). Well we adopted her at the local shelter who told us she was yellow lab but she doesnt look pure bred to me. It doesnt matter but I was just curious what else she might look like.

Well, I for one am no expert. I do however think that this is something that should be addressed by a vet. I understand the costs of vet bills but that is what comes along with having a pet. Trust me I know. Anyway, you should not let this go. It is true that they dont have complete control yet...
