I am fostering a beautiful black/tan male and looking for a home, preferably local so I could possibly visit occasionally. This dog is an absolute gem with a heart of gold. Wants to play with every dog he sees. His owner had abandoned him, he's underweight but otherwise healthy and craves...

I have a new 11 week old boy along with my 2.5 yr old girl and after a lot of comparing insurance companies I'm going with Lemonade.

Give her plenty of ear rubs between posts. They like that a lot.

Runs like a deer.

Yeah, Coverage of genetic disorders jumped right out at me.

I'm looking at Embrace now and I like what I see so far. I have to double back on Wagmo to look at the coverage again. One of the biggest cons to Wagmo is you can't reach anyone by phone, only internet. That in itself is a strike against them. Good advice about discounts with my own healthcare...

Has anyone here had any experience with Wagmo. So far they seem to have the best rates. My blue girl Savannah is two years old now and needs a buddy so I'm adding an 8 week old Euro male next week.

I built this for my 2 year old so she can coordinate and direct the neighborhood defense with dogs next door. She can see across four yards in either direction.

I've been doing some reading about the necessity of heartworm meds and read that among many side effects they can cause itching and gnawing on paws. Savannah had this problem and I set out on a change in diet which as most know can take months or longer to figure out. Anyway, her last heartworm...

Heartbreaking, I have no words other than I'm sorry.

Yeah, I suspect it will take some practice.

There are quite a few dog shoe reviews online so I'll spend some time with it and make the best choice I can. She's going to have sensory overload in just a couple months. She's never been around race cars so it will all be very new for her. Now I need to shop for goggles. I have license plates...

The whole dog shoe thing was really intended for one location, twice per year. July and September. Camping is never a problem, no burrs at the elevations we camp at, just the lower elevations where I race. At the tracks she won't spend much time on hot asphalt, during the day she will be in the...
