I got the little guy when he was 8 months old and he had so many issues/insecurities because of the bad life he had before me. He had been adopted out and return twice before I took him in. In time he...

My best buddy and co-pilot is gone
I posted on here a week ago about my pup, Kenai, being sick. Sadly, after 5 vet visits and everything else, he didn't make it and we had to put him down. It's been the longest/hardest week my wife and I have had in a long time. We miss our shadow and our energetic Malinois. My wife was trying...

please welcome Francis, less than 36 hours old.
We did an emergency c-section/spay at the clinic on Saturday at around noon- the dog had been in an accident which resulted in a crushed pelvis and couldn't finish delivery. All but 3 of the pups were stillborn. The 3rd died shortly after birth, and the 2nd seemed to be failing. The owners left with...

Three clients passed this week
At the grooming shop where I work, we do reminder calls at the six week mark. Most folks really appreciate them. This week, THREE times, we were met with sobbing. I refuse to call the rest of the list. Oreo was an adorable, 2.5 year old Shih Tzu. I don't know what happened. His mom was crying too...

Sad First Post... Odie: April 1996 - January 2, 2008
I was looking for dog training tips for my 6 month old lab mix and I ran across this forum while I was searching on Yahoo. I figured that before I ask my training questions for the pup, I should talk about my oldest friend Odie that I had to say goodbye to yesterday. The reason I say my oldest friend...
