Sorry I've been gone for so long but Brownie needs help?? URGENT!...
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Brownie's athritis is getting really bad lately. He walks all sideways in the morning because his side hurts and he can barely make it down two stairs to the yard. We would get a ramp but we can't afford it. What can I do? We have him on pain pills the vet gave us too. Please help!!!!!!!!

Posted to: Health & Grooming
I know dumb question but how do you do this safely? B hates water in his face and used to hate baths. He tolerates baths now but I'm not sure how to wash his face and the tops of his ears and the top of his head without getting soap in his eyes etc.
