hairball remedy all-round
Posted to: News & Entertainment
seems when one is hacking up a hairball they all must join in - and they don't even get along that well. Catnip (Siamese Rescue foster) brought up a cigar-size one, then one of my own meezers felt she much join in the act and leave one. My yellow tabby male started coughing last night like...

Agility Title Question
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Ok I am a newbie, and never thought much about titles but now that my dog has one I have a question. Does the AKC send you a certificate or anything when your dog finishes a title? I couldn't find anything on the AKC site.

What is the Detroit airport like? Opinions, please (Tacran)
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Like me, my mother is a nervous airline passenger. She's also of an age considered "elderly" (although I don't think of her that way!). To reduce some of her anxiety, she prefers to have layovers in smaller airports she's been to before and that don't require walking 100 miles...

Diet for arthritis and sensitive stomach
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Boomer is a pit (mix?) whose stomach has rejected all but a couple of foods. We found out today that he had a growth problem that has caused his shoulder sockets to be too shallow for the bone that they are supposed to cradle so at three years old he has semi-debilitating arthritis. I’m looking for a...
