help us housetrain a dog from a shelter
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Our poodle, MOE, is approximately 1.5 years old the vet says. This is our first dog. We got him from my in-laws who rescued him from a client that kept him caged in a super small cage 24/7.

Just a quick post & run. Molly is my foster child. Currently she's making it hard to type because she's in my lap. She's such a snuggle bunny. This is what you see in the dictionary when you look up "Sweet". [link http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/lucytj/DSCN0802...

Stomach Flu?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Ella had diarrhea and was vomiting, so I took her to the vet and they diagnosed her with the stomach flu. They gave me medicine to give her, and she seems to be getting back to her normal, playful self. I never knew that dogs could get the stomach flu. Has anyone else had this experience?

Gray gums w/no other symptoms?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
On Thursday night, my 11 year old chow's lower front gums became swollen and grayish colored. For a couple days prior, she'd been licking her paws a lot, and we think maybe that caused some bacteria to get into her mouth. Only the lower front part is affected, and she doesn't seem to experience...
