Is "air-barking" something to worry about? (tacran)
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Ruby has a behavior we call "air barking." She moves her mouth as if she's barking, with no sound, other than the occasional "clack" of her teeth if she really snaps her jaws together. Sometimes you can hear air escaping, but it's hardly audible. It reminds me of what a little...

Crystal and Riley

Crystal was lounging on Dad's bed the other day, and I thought the blue background really looked lovely. Of course, posing was not what she had in mind, so I couldn't get her face, lol. [IMG]http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q57/sfsamm/2012/Sept%2019%20Crystal%20Dad%20Dogs%20n%20Lacey%20epulis...

But I don't see how he could be either one. I personally think he is and English Setter, or a Setter of...

Vacation Pics (mrstjohnson)
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Here are some pics from our trip to Cancun. It was amazing and so very relaxing. For the first time in 12 years of going we never left the hotel. It's not a big resort and we usually go out a few times since we get antsy, but we laid low every day/night. It was so nice. I would put my bathing suit...

Help! Ari ate cooked chicken bones!!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
In her 4.5 years on this planet this has never happened. But, she swiped the chicken leg bones the second I turned my back and gulped it down with a few crunches. I know not to induce vomiting, but is there anything I should do aside from monitoring her? I'm really really freaked out. I'm having...

Busy here, no time to play. I hope everyone is well - humans and dogs alike. Truck repair is nothing simple or cheap. I'm just trying to find the silver lining in all of it. Methinks autumn has arrived in mid-Michigan.
