Maze aggression update
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Every since my accident Maze's attitude towards visiting dogs has changed ALOT of the better. She's no longer growling as they enter, She goes and sits on her blanket waiting to be released to say hi. She doesn't protect the furniture as much as before. Instead of a large amount of growling...

Puppy Knee Injury
Posted to: Health & Grooming
I could REALLY use some advice on what to do about my puppy's knee. Two months ago while playing a game of fetch with a tennis ball in my backyard he slipped and came up lame, and it turned out to be a luxated patella (kneecap) in his hind leg. Needless to say over the past two months we've been...

HELP Dog ate ballpoint pen
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Hi we left our dog alone for an hour to get dinner. Somehow she found a pen and had eaten 3/4 of it by the time we got home after she had been doing so well not eating things. The portion with the ink seems to be intact so I'm not worried about that, but the remaining plastic parts are quite sharp...

DH & I took advantage of our proximity to city center and a beautiful evening to take B for a walk in town and stop to have a beer. I haven't taken him into town much because he is just so hyper with all the smells and the 'city' squirrels that don't run off when we approach so I...

Brag on Maze!!!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I took Maze for a walk today and now I've been dealing with her agression and she's getting ALOT better. Well I turned a corner and there was a lady walking a Cocker Spaniel who did not like Maze. I was about 50ft away when the Spaniel started barking and flipping out. I would have turned around...

Another question, different dog
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Maven got her 3 year Rabies late last week. They gave it to her on her right buttock. Last night I noticed she was quite off on the right hind. So I palpated it and she didn't move but stood there growling as I palpated it. I gave her a little something for the inflamation and we went to bed. Today...

Soybean oil and Soy Protein Isolates
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Can someone tell me if there is any benefit of soybean oil in dog food? The official explanation I got is the oil is high in linoleic acid but a more reasonable cost than, for example, sunflower oil. And, what are soy protein isolates? Are they soy version of rice protein concentrate? Thank...

Dog doors. Good, bad, indifferent.
Posted to: News & Entertainment
We have a dog door in the basement but not one in the house. My reasons for not having one. Security. Burglars, I mean. DOgs with wet muddy feet or who found a skunk while outside. Wildlife coming in. There was turkey poop right outside the back door on the deck the other day. But, since i have been...
