Could a Stranger Walk Your Dog?
Posted to: News & Entertainment

Hi I have an 11 year old Maltese. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the drool on his sheet had blood in it. I looked in his mouth and saw some blood on his gums, like he had teeth problems.

Floyd???
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Would you have taken Floyd, let him be put to sleep or what? Floyd bit the animal control officer in 2003. I'm pretty sure it was fear based. But he's a Malinois. He was then caged without respite for six months. Floyd's foster mom loved him. He didn't love her. Too many dogs. He...

They think it is just because they increased her feedings from 3ccs to 5ccs, but they want to be sure nothing is wrong. In a...
