Opinions?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Hello! I have a beautiful beagle/sheltie mix named Maybel. I have been noticing that every once in a while she will (just slightly) bob her head from side to side. She is not doing this on purpose, of course. I was wondering if this has something to do with her nervous system and if it could be the onset...

Scratching/pawing problem...
Posted to: Training & Behavior
My dog has a problem with pawing at me and scratching at me. I can't do anything without her doing this and even if she just had her nails cut, they are still sharp and hurts when she scratches me. I can't even wear shorts or my legs would be all scratched up. I need some suggestions on how to...

Ear gluing/taping
Posted to: News & Entertainment
What are your thoughts on this? On another forum, people seemed very against the taping of dogs ears, especially pet dogs almost to the point that some people are against cropping. It baffled me because I have never thought of ear taping/gluing as a big deal at all. Trey didn't seem to notice it...

The Ongoing Saga
Posted to: News & Entertainment
The ongoing saga of Ron. My rebuilt motor didn't get to the garage until Thursday. Not counting the Friday I missed when my old mot locked up, that paycheck is missing yet another day. I should have had 32 hours and only had 24. My former company sent me my W-2 and there was not as much withholding...

Posted to: News & Entertainment
My family is starting to look for a dog (I know I've been around here for awhile, but I don't actually have a dog [sm=happy.gif]) and there's actually someone getting rid of a 1 year old Cardigan Corgi on Craigslist. I'm a little leery of adopting from a random source like that, but we're...

There WAS justice for this guy!
Posted to: Rescue & Help
This was on my Great Dane board! We all have a chance to send a petition to THANK someone! It's not easy to think about a puppy being killed - it's almost too horrific for words. And too often the sentences for such crimes are weak and far too short. But there is good news in a case where...

Thinking of switching to home-cooked; where do I start?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I've always bought commercial food for my five dogs, but would really like to consider feeding them home-cooked foods. I have no idea where to start learning about what is best for them. They are each a different breed, so do they need different foods? How do I know how much to make? How often to...
