What to do when she's growling. . .
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I put this in aggression and didn't get much response. I think it's important so hopefully more people will see it here. Thanks and sorry if the double post bothers anyone. But, this is extremely important to me. Ugh, this night is just not working out. First, huge fight with my mom. ...

German Shepherd mix with what?
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
We adopted this dog recently. It's a German Shepherd mix. But with what? She has a spotted tongue. I'm thinking Lab. Some people tell me she might also have some Husky (cos of how her tail curls) and some Chow (cos of spotted tongue). Any ideas anyone?

Red patches?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Boomer recovered from his skin staph infection nicely but this weeked I noticed that the skin under the white patch on his chest has red patches on it. They aren't raised or rough, they're just red. I really don't see any irritation on the rest of his body, but the rest of his fur is black...

Old Girl with spunk

Hi everyone! I have 3 dogs (one being a 12 yr old lab mix) that just won't give up. She has a mild case of arthitis (not uncommon in the labs) but she still trails behind us on our walks even when i tell her to stay home because i know it's too much for her. What would you suggest for her...

car sick everytime
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Hi everyone, Jagger is about 8 months old and he gets car sick everytime we take a drive, wether it's a 10 minute drive or an hour drive. Tomorrow we are going on a camping trip to a park about 1 hour away and we really don't want him to get sick. (he obviously doesn't like it) He shakes...

Stupid in-laws
Posted to: News & Entertainment
We're in GA and DH's brother and family in VT. They've been hinting to my 83 yr MIL about coming down, but wouldn't say when. So guess who shows up on our doorstep today because MIL wasn't home!! Now MIL was already fretting because she wanted to have groceries bought, etc. She said...

How bad are brewers rice/rice hulls?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I bought a bag of food for Jetta at petco about a week ago. I wasn't planning on getting that particular brand, but I had to find something else for her to eat since she absolutely won't touch the natural balance potato and duck (hunger strike for 3 days). Its Sensible Choice lamb and rice, which...

sharp decline in exercise
Posted to: News & Entertainment
When we lived in Victoria, Chase got about 2 hours of exercise every day. Swimming, retrieving, walking, running, hiking, playing...he was a very busy dog! It was usually cool and breezy. Since moving to Toronto 2 weeks ago, it's been really hot. He mostly sleeps all day, with a bit of ball chasing...

Sad, chauvanist story.
Posted to: News & Entertainment
This kind-of goes along with the "If you can't afford a dog don't get it" post. I used to work at a pet supplies store while I was in college. There are alot of horror stories from there, this is one of them. A woman and her older grumpy husband came in. They asked me about their...

Pit bull/greyhound mixes
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
On this board and a lot of other boards I see people refer to their dogs as pit/greyhound mixes or pit/whippet mixes. I know I've thought that about Boomer - he is very tall and thin but has a big pit head. This seems pretty unlikely to be a common mix. I also read somewhere that the serious fighting...

Its been a while since I've posted any pics of Tango, so I thought I'd share some that I took last night and earlier today. I hope you enjoy them! She wanted so badly to get in the pool but I told her no, so she just stood on it and stared at the water for about 5 minutes hoping I might change...

Dog Whines Incessantly While Waiting to be Fed
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Hi All- This isn't so much a problem as it is a concern. My dog Carrie, a 3 yr old Pit Bull mix, cries and always has cried while waiting to be fed (when I remove the food from the cabinet, while I fill the bowl and until I put it down in front of her). When we rescued her, she was severely...
