Was this to get my attention? Seems so wierd!
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Ok, so you have all probably heard me talk about Beau on the forum. He is our 11 week old GSP. So he learned very early on to walk to the door if he needed to go potty! YEA! So we have had 1 accident here and there and for the most part only when I stopped to answer the phone, or turned away for a moment...

here's a question...
Posted to: News & Entertainment
How long (maximum amount of time) can you crate a one-year-old dog? And would you rather crate a dog or tie up a dog if there is no safe space (like a yard) to keep him in?

Which is worse: Corn or wheat?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Both are suspected allergens in dogs (and cats), according to many. But which is worse? Or better, which of the two causes more problems? Are more dogs allergic to corn, as opposed to wheat, or is the opposite true? Seems like the higher up one goes in food quality, the less likely wheat makes an...

Oh Jeez, Am I Doing Right By Sally??
Posted to: News & Entertainment
This is sort of dog related but sort of not too, so I put it here.... My 19 year old cousin just called me, asking for a place to stay on Christmas. See, as a high schooler she started seeing this guy who is very, very bad for her. He is verbally abusive at least, and we suspect physically at...

what kind of meat
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Just out of curiosity, what kind of meat do you put in your dogs homecooked meals? I use venison most of the time. Sometimes I use pork (fat cut off). Is it okay to use steak or beef for beef stew? Every once in a while I give him rabbit. I've done duck before, but it is so fatty. I know red meat...

I saw this on CNN today and found the link to the original article: http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/index.php?sty=80512&source=rss&dest=STY-80512 I know that here we are a community of dog lovers, but this is over the top. There really is no excuse for this behavior. --Sara
