Do You Teach "Leave It"?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Just curious how many of you have taught a "leave it" command to your dogs. By that, I mean a command that says to your dog "this object is forbidden - you must not touch it". If you have, how reliable is your dog? Will he walk over a pile of dog biscuits if you say "leave it"...

Goodbye President Ford
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I thought it would be inappropriate to have a thread marking the demise of Saddam Hussein, without also taking the time to note President Ford's passing. Having lived through the time when he was President, I now very much appreciate that Richard Nixon was stupid enough (he had a high IQ, but his...

Prayers for Static please **UPDATE**
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Hi again all. I am calling the vet first thing tomorrow for Static. He was on our bed and I saw his eye was leaky. When I got a closer look I saw that it was closed and when I opened it a little it was irritated with the inner eyelids slightly over it. I think he might have gotten it scratched during...

Tips on setting up grooming area?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
I'm not a professional groomer. Just an amateur but I have three Samoyeds. I've always bathed and groomed them myself. My exciting news is that we are in the process of buying a new (old) house. My favorite part of this house is that it has a 10'x12' laundry room. Room enough for a...

What would you do?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I work with the director of the humane society and she asked me a question today. Do you think aggression can be trained out of a dog? My answer was that I think it can be controlled, but not fully "trained out" and the dog should still be watched carefully for any signs. Then she asked "would...

Surgery for ingrown eyelashes
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Just had my Zoe in to the vet, and she said her bottom lids are rolled in, causing her eyelashes to irritate her eyes, thus the excessive eye watering. Has anyone had this done on their dog? Tell me your story. Thanks, Sweetbon

So I know I may have struck the wrong cord with my first post. But with all of that aside we are all here for a common goal. Being the best dog owners we can be. So with that said, I was wondering what everyone's take is on Kibbles and Bits. This is what my dog is on now. He eats about 3 cups...

Big Dogs & Small Dogs
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I've always been a fan of larger dogs... anything smaller than, say, 25 pounds wasn't really my cup of tea. It's always been my impression (partly from experience) that small dogs are not as smart, very yappy, and not a "real" dog. It didn't really help that the only dog...
