Posted to: Health & Grooming
OK, so I have tried the "tea concoction" on Jimmy James' feet and it really does seem to help reduce the redness. Some days his feet are far worse than others (I think he has a lot of environmental allergies besides grass but haven't figured out which ones and it not as though we can...

Does anyone here use natural flea repellants? Do you have any suggestions? I have heard that citrus sprays can help if used diligently. Is this true? Thank you. --Sara

Puppy dominates
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Our 6 month old puppy thinks she needs all the attention. Everytime we play with our other 2 dogs, she's rude and has to be the center of attention. Even when I'm on the phone, Spunkie barks and twangs to go outside-just like a child. Of course, I know she is just trying to get my attention and...

Pork bones?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Hi all! I went to the store today, to pick up some of Penny's favorite bones, beef necks. Well, the beef necks they had there looked gross, so I didn't get any. Instead I got some pork brisket bones they had on sale. Are these any good? They seem to be pretty meaty and it looks like they have...

Posted to: Training & Behavior
ex- pen? They are less expensive than the Midwest and Precision crates and ex-pens that I have been looking at. I see that they don't come with a divider panel, but maybe I could make my own with something around the house? Thanks for any advice!

A Dogs Prayer
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Maybe most of you may have read this before, but I never had until Tuesday. I had taken the paper with me out on the gambling boat. We have to go 9.2 miles out before we can gamble and it takes about 45 minutes. So i will take the day's paper and read it and work crossword puzzle during that time. Well...

I am listening to the radio right now and they are doing a segment on some study that has *apparently* proven that cows from different regional areas moo with regional accents.

Frivolous doggy spending
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I have a problem. I like to blow money on useless things for my dogs. Any excuse will do! Next month is Teenie's Gotcha Day, so I've ordered her a fabulous, impractical, bling bling, rhinestone lettered harness and leash. I feel kind of bad, because I could use that money for something else....
