Testing - Creating new threads

For those of you who are trying to create new threads. I clicked on "New Topic" and got this. I presume you do the same. Do you get as far as "Preview Post" and "Publish" buttons on the lower right hand side? Or no buttons appear at all? What internet browser are you using? I'm on Chrome in this window. I'm wondering if this happens in a specific Forum? I created this one in Home > Kennels > iDog, obviously. ;) I'm wondering if... more

September-Death to mosquitos month

Not walking the river path at the dog park until there is a frost. Gnats go right through the deet. Thanks to several rains a week, we have mosquitos everywhere. Watched a family of tourists taking advantage of the path. They made it about 10 ft into the woods before giving up. It's really too bad as the river walk is really a pretty walk. About a mile long, through a river bottom woodland and along the river. Dog park has a low spot in one corner that the dogs have discovered. Fun to watch... more

Oh Ginger, I'm so sorry for your loss of Hot Shot. I hope he's playing and enjoying himself over the Bridge. Check in w/your momma when you can, Hot Shot.

Ginger, where are you trying to start a new Thread? I must admit, this site still confuses me.

Quickly inbetween projects I tried to add a thread @ Rainbow Bridge last week. It would let me pull up a new thread but I couldn't preview or publish. It worked better last night on a test but it was only a 1 liner not sure if it is fixed will try again later. G BTW, it is very good to see you... more

Rescue difficult to find?

My current dog, Dexter, is a wonderful dream of a dog. He was an older puppy/young adult rescue from a shelter where I previously lived. Dexter is 6.5 now, and a large (70lbs) boxer/cattle dog. So he's not exactly a young little dude anymore, and I certainly pray for many more years together, but statistically speaking he will live for another 4-6 years. DH is somewhat allergic to Dexter and can get hives from petting him or being licked. We manage this with frequent bathing (of the dog), medicating... more

In recent years -- at least here in the South (central Florida) where I live there has been a disturbing trend. Breed rescues and "private" rescues now haunt local Animal Controls and even SPCA for any "designer dog" mixes or purebreds. They happily pay the small animal control fee... more

Well shoot Callie, we're neighbors now. Quite close in fact. I'm in central Florida too. I remember when you first adopted Tink. The rescue situation around here felt weird and you've confirmed my suspicions. God forbid I ever leave the house to work because I'm not independently wealthy... more

NOTE to Newcomers : Welcome to the Rainbow Bridge Welcoming Committee! I started this a while back, as my way of helping forum members to heal their broken hearts after a loss. All the pets (with the exception of a running horse ) are beloved pets that had a close relationship with a member on this forum. Every pet you see in these pictures represents a small hole in someone's heart.. and the hope that we may once again see our furry friends in another life. If you have experienced a loss and... more

I am so very sorry , run free Sierra . Your family will have some precious memories of you in their heart forever. ((Hugs))

Glenda, I bet it is quiet! Did they finish all the home cooking and baking you did? Doug, I think we'll need a September chat soon. (I still can't seem to start one.) It's supposed to be a bit cooler today--I hope so!

Rescue dog, could she be black mouth cur?

I'm sure people are often asking what breed they have. I generally would say since my dog (Cedar) is a rescue she is more than likely a mutt, but with the large amount of research I have done in the 8 months I had her, along with understanding her personality I have come to a consensus she is a Black Mouth Cur. Pure bread, who knows, but she definitely carries all of the traits. She is just over a year old now, 48lbs and a fun and fantastic dog. What are your thoughts based on looks?

Dry Eye Questions

Can anyone dealing with Dry Eye in their dog please tell me about their experience with this horrible affliction and how you and your dog are dealing/living with it? What medication(s)/treatments did your vet prescribe and any other tips/advice that you can share would be greatly appreciated. I don't have complete faith in the vet we are seeing and I don't want my Abbie to lose her vision, or worse, her eyes to this. She has ulcers on her eyes and horrible greenish yellow discharge that is... more

Prozac for dogs

hi I have just had to put my Jack Russell who is nearly 3 on Prozac . We are on week 5 and thank god it looks likes he is starting to settle down I am hoping to see a change in him as he is very nervous and scared of everything which resulted in him going for people and dogs It's hard when you have a dog with issues its made me quite stressed- i feel like reaching for his Prozac lol

Long walks in the country, if possible, for both of you. Don't know where you are, but Wildlife management areas tend to be away from traffic and pretty safe to run dogs in.

Sun, Aug 28 2016 4:23 PM

JRT are normally hyper as heck, but it sounds like maybe you need to team up with a really good, positive reinforcement trainer. That way you can work on the issues and get him off the meds sooner rather than leter.

July Connection, if any.

Sky is the proud father of 5 male and 1 female puppies. I don't know if I dare go see them. I have been informed that I really don't want another dog. He has been drawing comments at the park and on walks about how handsome and well behaved he is. Then he rolls in some obnoxious substance and gets a bath. The forum appears to be fading away. The other forums I engage in are more argumentative. I like the stable positiveness of this one.

Took Sky out to the WMA this morning. Warm, but no rain falling. The WMA is set up as a prairie.

Aren't all the good ones gas powered. After all the power to weight ratio of a battery isn't that good. Perhaps that's the real problem with the one we have. The battery probably isn't powerful enough to give it a good lift and then it dies so fast...well, it just isn't fun [8|]. The boat is the... more

First post - please help me figure out my stray's breed

Hi folks, I kept trying to google various mixes and always seemed pulled back to these boards looking at photos... So probably time for my first post :-) From what I can tell, I think he is part Malinois but 100% mystery. He weighs about 60 pounds, loves to sniff, never barks, is incredibly smart and seems impressively loyal. He likes to guard the house. He's a beautiful pup and it was surprising that no one called looking for him. He's SO loyal, he won't even let the dog sitter take... more

Yet another vacuum question!

I've searched old posts, honest, but I didn't see anything regarding stick vacs for picking up pet hair. Joey's tumbleweed fur on the hardwood floors that are all through my house are driving me batty. Was thinking of getting a stick vac to keep on top of it from day to day. I've looked through some reviews and get conflicting opinions so thought I would check with other dog owners. I know Pofi's mom recommends a 3M giant lint roller thing, I've heard mention of the new... more

Fish Oil supplements... you use them?

If so, which ones? The doctor gave Sammy a supplement about 2 months ago when we told him that Sammy scratched a lot. He's not allergic to any of his food/treats, so we were thinking he had some dry skin issues. The supplement worked. I forget the name of it, but we put 1 dropperful into his food daily. His coat is pretty, but we noticed that it became brilliant and he scratched less and less. We ran out! I want another oil supplement for him. Which one do you use? Thanks! [ ]

Mon, Oct 9 2006 12:47 AM

Personally, I would give your 10 lb dog 100IU of the E 2x a day. I would also give the fish oil 2x a day with the E. ETA: For 10 lbs maybe you can find a fish oil capsule with 500mg to give.

Fish Oils for my Jack Russell

Adding fish oil to your dog's diet has many benefits.I ordered Wild Omega 3 Fish Oil at http://www.happypetsnow.com/ for my 22 lb Jack Russell Terrier .

Overprotective of his toys

Houston is a 4 year old cocker spaniel. We have had him for almost 3 years and over time he has become more protective of his toys. If he has a tennis ball, he never puts it down. He will whine, walk around the house, sit, and sleep with it in his mouth. He is that way with his black Kong too. If we put a cookie in the Kong he will growl. Even if Kenny my older dog walks by he will growl like he thinks Kenny is going to take it when he isn't going to. So we rarely put a cookie in his Kong. ... more
