    Glitch Videos

    Some of you have seen these already, but for those who haven't: Glitch stacking rings on his ring toy. Also, enjoy a brief cameo by Felony the Persian. This was our December trick, and I'm proud to say he learned it by 12/15! I have no idea why he has so much trouble with the yellow ring...

    I"m Going Crazy-Fleas

    Ok, I feel like I'm out of options here. I have a major flea infestation in the apartment. The dogs are taking Trifexis, and they don't seem to have any. I have vaccummed, bombed and treated the apartment. The cats each took a comfortis and I thought we were good. All bedding/cloth items...

    Getting and Keeping Attention

    Glitch has hit puberty hard and is taking every opportunity to ignore and blow me off. Sit? What does this word mean? Come? Ok, here I-Hey look! A butterfly! How can I re-engage him with me? Better treats? Making myself more fun (he loves everyone but Mommy at the moment) He's...

    My Puppy is Going...Going...

    Vibes for the Glitch?

    Glitch is going in to be vasectomized tomorrow. I would have strongly preferred to wait a while longer (he is almost 6 months) but my job is very unstable right now, I need to get him taken care of while I can still get a staff discount. Fingers crossed for a little whippet?

    Tips for Building Toy Drive

    I want Glitch to have better toy drive then He definitely has a favorite toy, his plush Pterocuda. He is very excited to get his Pterocuda and plays with it whenever I bring it out. I keep the toy up when we aren't actively working with it, so it will be fresh and exiting when I do pull it...

    Your Dogs Nicknames

    I know we've had this thread before, but there have been an explosion of puppies lately, so I thought it might be fun to have it again. Gambit: Das Coy, Gambito, Coyboy, Ass, Princess Coyote Gimmick: Shrimp (he might think this is his real name), Whippitus, Shrimpitus, Shrimp-Dragon...

    Docking Question?

    So I was cruising Craigslist (I know, you think I would know better after Bella-with-a-penis), and saw an undocked Rott for sale, 7 months old. That is not particularly surprising. What was surprising was that the person selling her claimed that she had placed 3rd and 4th in her previous 2...

    A Gambit Conundrum

    Gambit has developed a worrying behavior lately. He goes with me to work, but we have to park in staff parking, which involves a walk down a hill to the clinic parking lot. Going the long way around is not feasible, as it would be going down a busy road with no sidewalks early in the morning...

    How Much is Too Much?

    For a puppy, that is. Glitch is now almost 15 weeks old and weighs about 15lbs. He gets lots of exercise at daycare and going on outings with me. I never push him to keep going when he's tired, and he is still small enough that he's been carried through downtown after he craps out. But he...

    Down to the Wire

    The day is here. I've been putting off thinking about it, but it's finally happened. The litter I was originally on the waiting list for was born last night. Lots of boys. I have to let the breeder know if I"m still interested in one. But there's Glitch. Glitch who I should have never...

    Sometimes, it Gets Very Quiet....

    And you know you're in trouble. We have a sweet little houseguest boarding with us this weekend, and she and Glitch have been snuggling and playing all day. They finally crashed together in the dog bed. I look down, and see only Bella, no Glitch. I call him, nothing. It's only a 400sq...

    A Glitch on the Town

    I had nothing to do today, so I thought I would take Glitch downtown to socialize and train. My goal is to take him every week and get his pictures with the same metal animals. Hey Pig! Pig! I'm talking to you! Guess what, Mom? They aren't real! Better Sniff this ones butt...

    Just 3

    Glitch is getting so big! He's a great little guy who enjoys the small things in life, like eating the dandelions Gimmick just finished agility foundations (barely. I'm pretty sure that he is the laziest thing on the planet). Next class starts in a week, so we're working on his feet...

    Ok, What am I doing Wrong?

    I love Glitch. I want to keep Glitch. I do not love Glitch's behavior regarding the crate. Things aren't so bad at night. I usually get about two minute of pathetic whimpering and then silence. Up around 3, potty, then an additional two minutes of crying and back to sleep until morning...

    Best Time for a Vasectomy?

    This may be a bit of an empty question, since Gimmick may be the only vasectomized male on theboard, but I'm going to try anyway. There is a chance Glitch will stzy with me. I would like to have him vasectomized as opposed to castrated. Gimmick was done around a year, mostly due to me...

    The New Kid

    ]I've had several people PM me about "Bella", wanting to know more about him. First of all, his new name is Glitch, because his darn penis went ahead and Glitched up all my plans! I love this boy. Love, love, love him. He's smart, drivey, and incredibly resilient. I've been taking him all...

    My Newest Foster

    Introducing Haley! She is an 8 week old BC/Shep (?) mix who moved in yesterday. Little girl is lucky enough to have a family committed to her, so she will only be with me until May 2nd. She was supposed to leave last weekend, but she has been very sick and wasn't healthy enough for adoption...

    Gross Male Question

    This is the only place I can ask such a thing. Gimmick (almost 2, intact) seems to have a lot of yellowish discharge from his penis. He's been checked out and he does not have an infection. Unfortunately, due to his deep chest, a lot of times he ends up with it smeared all over his chest...

    Intact Male Question

    Gimmick is now almost 2 (April 11th) years old. He was vasectomized last year, but is for all intents and purposes intact. I have been very fortunate with him. He does not mount excessively, lose concentration around females, mark inside, or chatter too much. I have also been very lucky...
