Its not a common occurance lol... They usually like to have a variety up there, and we have 7 of the 9 pallets on display!
 
Took the dogs to a nearby island, they loved it.

She's an American Pit Bull Terrier, papered and everything but not many people realize she is full blood. I think it's because she's smaller than pits have a reputation for and the coloring. She's truly a wonderful dog, she just turned nine last month!

That's fantastic. What pet insurance do you have?

Since we knew we were going to do a spay and gastropexy, we went with the Whole Pet With Wellness from Nationwide/VPI Insurance. It is expensive (almost $900/year or $73/month) but once you reach the $250 deducitble, they cover 90% of your costs for EVERYTHING:

Her couple of sock swallowing incidents got us to our deductible really fast and her annual vacs were quite expensive (she needs them for boarding and what not - no lectures, please!) so that paid out all 90%. We were at $940 yesterday for her surgery so what a relief it'll be reimbursed 90%! This insurance has already paid for itself this year. We had a much cheaper plan last year but I was super impressed with their claim turnaround time and paying out exactly what they said they would so we decided to stick with them. I will probably keep them, long term, because I don't want it to lapse and any serious conditions pop up and then it not be covered. Hopefully that will never happen but I know of folks who've spent $10k on their dogs for cancer; even my last boy who was 'healthy' cost me $5000 out of pocket in emergency surgeries. I don't want her care to ever be a question of money.

I can't believe prongs are illegal in Toronto. There is no way I would be able to control Shadow if she really wanted to go after something without one. She is so strong.

That is what happens when laws are passed based on emotion instead of logic. But bet money it's still totally legal to strap your dog into a 'gentle' leader or 'no pull' harness.

There is literally no way I could stop kaizer if he truly went after something. He's like a whole 5 pounds lighter than I am! But according to the folks behind laws like this, you shouldn't own a dog you can't physically over power. I think they fail to realize that if that were the case, virtually no one could own large-giant breeds.

Sorry. Wayyyy OT. But I hate stupid laws!

Cute picture of the mutt. Yes, he has a wound on his nose. No, we can not seem to get through an entire month without some random injury. He tore it open on a piece of trim that he turned into and subsequently ripped off the corner of the cabinet, impaling his nose on a finish nail .... He's not very graceful yet :) IMG_20170509_181209.webp
 
Guys come your weight has nothing to do with this I am around 214 lbs (only 510!) and sometime I am just off. I had 4 beers I like to walk with my dog, I am drain of work or once in while I am not alert it is just life. ( my friend childhood friends told me u the Doberman u never off get a cat or even tiger forget that dog breed.) I don't wanna get to politics side anyways I am hippy it is their world.

We got our lazy on yesterday. Glad to have my Dingo back home!

Anyone have any recommendations for keeping a cone onto a dexterous dog? I need to leave her alone for a few hours today and not feeling confident she won't either get it off and get at her stitches or choke herself with it :facepalm:

We always threaded the collar through the cone loops and set the collar snug.
