[X(]Good grief. Nothing is EVER wrong with my dogs, now all of a sudden, it is like a train wreck here. We were out walking tonight and Ziggy, my oldest Tzu, age 3, stepped on something and started crying and wimpering, and dancing around. I, of course, freaked out, and saw a spider on the ground near...

Lips
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Rupert has had this on his lips since he was a pup. I had asked the vet about it when he was a puppy, and the vet said it was probably from chewing. I believed him at first, but it never went away. Do you think it is some kind of fungus? Could it be related to his irritated paws?

Sitting Straight on Heel
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I have a four year old Australian shepherd that I began semi-serious obedience last year for 4-h dog disobedience and she has the basics of heeling, stays, recall, and stand down. One thing she does, though, is she often leans on me, lays a paw on my foot, or sits "butt out" when she auto-sits...
