I used to give Maddie the stuffed hooves, they were rollover brand. She loved eating out the inside and one would last her for days until she learned how to crack them and then it'd be about 2 hours before she was done with one. I'm not sure how safe they are but I just pick up the pieces...

Thank you, thats the info I was looking for. I don't forsee any problems but would like to do the introduction properly.

At Christmas I will be getting my dog, Maddie, back. My sister and I adopted her while I was in university in another city. I've purchased a house and she is joining the military so it works out that I will have her back. She is a Great Dane/Rotti looking thing. My parents live about 20...

Hi... I joined this forum back in 2006. I had just adopted my 'shepherd/rottie' cross and was looking for advice. I had since moved to a different city and left my pup with my sister who had a larger house and more time and attention than I had to offer. My sister now has taken up a career...

Yeah, thats what I thought. Funny how this election championed the cause of minorities yet removed the rights of a certain minority (ballot issues in California, etc). It's a little disheartening.

So you're saying that someone's sexual identity is tied up in what type of dog they have?

Can someone let a non-American know how people can reconcile their belief in personal 'liberty' and freedom with the belief that its okay to tell others what they're allowed to do with their bodies (ie abortion) or who they're allowed to marry (ie. same sex marriage). I would think the...

Maddie has thrown up some yellow frothy stuff twice in the past month... both int he morning before she eats, so I imagine its due to being hungry. Wish she hadn't done it on my bed though... oh well.

Sometimes I put bunny ears on Maddie that I got at Petsmart for 5 bucks. They make me laugh and she seems to like the attention.

Gross, dogs in the kitchen? just kidding...

I think that its easy for the uneducated masses to be intimidated by what they don't understand. The drug and healthcare industries are huge and intimidating but it doesn't necessarily mean they are evil. There is good reason that the FDA (and Health Canada) do the things they do. Not...

Those are cute... hope you find good homes for them, the deserve it after what they've been through. Good for you for taking them in though and taking care of them.

you can mix it up with some acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every four to six hours... to a max of 4000mg... if you haven't had problems with your liver or anything, I wouldn't recomend super doses of any anti-inflammatories though without seeing your doctor. If you odn't have insurance...

It's weird though, I've had her for almost 3 months and ahven't had problems yet. I've bathed her 4 or 5 times now, but this was the first time I really got the water up by her face and some got into her ears... so I hope it can be cleared up relatively easily.

Thanks Zoom... I figured it'd probably come to that... just trying to avoid a vet trip, but I know its necessary. On that note, is there anything I need to do to prevent one from happening again? She doesn't get hair in her ears, but she has lab-like flop ears, so I don't know if I have to...

I've been noticing that my dogs ears have been kind of gross smelling lately. She's been pawing at them a bit too in the past few days. I did bathe her a few days ago but never put anything in her ears to keep water out, as I now know I should have done. Is there anything I should do for...

I agree... we can take dogs out of a bad situation, but does that make it a 'rescue'? Its a very self promoting word. I got my dog from the SPCA and although they're a kill shelter I'm sure she would have gone home with someone else had I not gotten her. I adopted her. I like to feel...

Thanks for the replies... thats good to hear that Maddie isn't alone in her bald armpits. At least I know she's not French, eh? jk

I was wondering if its normal for a dog to be normally bald under their arms. Maddie has never had there and the skin looks normal, but I was wondering if the hair isgenerally more sparse or nonexistent under the arms of other dogs too.

Recently, the Da Vinci Code. That movie was terrible. I know most movie adaptations of books are bad, but this one was terrible. Also, I can't seem to stomach any white person meets black person resulting in racial innuendo and 'hilarious' consequences movies.
