Posted to: News & Entertainment
My father has been sick with flu like symptoms since last Friday. His fever has been a constant 102 or a little higher. He's about 52 (I never remember his age), and smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. What's even worse, I am sick with the exact same symptoms. Mine started Tuesday afternoon...

tethering question
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I know there was a debate recently about having dogs tethered up in the backyard, but this is a separate question. Let me just say first that there is NO CHANCE I will ever tether Ben up in the backyard and leave him there. However..... SO and I are big fans of the good, old fashioned picnic, and...

Runt of the Litter?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Russell is now about 14 months old and he hasn't grown much for many months. He gained one pound between December and May and that seemed to be from just filling out a little in the chest. We get a lot of comments on how small he is for a cocker - people sometimes tell us we must have a "mini...

One of them attacked him. The guy is a dog lover, so apparently he thought he could just grab a Pitty by the collar...

prong?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I have a 6 month old puppy who absolutely will not behave on a leash. He pulls really hard and it's a bit obnoxious. I was just wondering if he was too young for a prong collar...I usually walk him and my GSD at the same time, so i will have the GSD in one hand with his gentle leader harness, and...

Here is Mika doing what she does best: absolutely nothing! [ ] She is my first dog (thank goodness I have all you i-doggers to help me out!), and she is absolutely perfect. It's only been a month, but I'm happy to say that she pretty much trusts me and has settled down.

dry roast pork bones
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
My dog won't eat rmb and raw meat. He just sniffed it and went away. I know rmb is good for teeth cleaning. Can I use Ham Bones (dry roast pork bones) instead? Will it do the teeth cleaning job? If I soak the rmb in boiling water for a little while to get rid of the raw smell, and the bone won't...

First thing, this forum is very cool, lots of good info for dog lovers/owners. Last week, I got a Corgi pup (10 weeks), his name is Darwin.
