Dalmation cross or German Short Hair mix
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
Ok, whatta yah think? The rescue agency where we got her called her a Dalmation cross, but the trainer thinks she's a German Short Hair cross (maybe because she's brown & white). She weighs about 27 lbs and probably has some skinny dog in her as she is very lean and has a similar body shape...

Switching to Raw
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I've decided to switch to an all-raw diet after this bag of Innova Puppy is gone, which is probably about another month away. I've done a lot of reading online and may end up doing pre-made raw from Healthy Paws rather than preparing it myself at least for a while (I can barely make oatmeal for...

Feeling guilty..
Posted to: News & Entertainment

Bats?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Ok, so how common or uncommon is it to find a dead bat in your driveway? That's not really my question...does there have to be something wrong with it (illness) that it died or could it just die? DH thinks I'm crazy, I put it in a ziploc and stuck it in the freezer in the garage. I'll get...

No More DH
Posted to: News & Entertainment
So I decided I had finally had enough of DH (and I dont mean Dear) and I told him to pack up and go. I couldnt take his macho attitude any longer, I cant believe I thought he would change. YES he did start to help me out more around the house but I guess he thought that because he helped me out he...

my puppy won't eat
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I have a 4 month old maltipoo puppy who is just adorable. When we got him he was on NutroMax puppy food so we kept him on it. At first he ate it just fine but then seemed disinterested. We moistened it because it was hard for him to chew. We switched to Nutro Ultra Puppy food and that worked for a little...
