The label on the Diamond Naturals stuff that I switched them to: Notice how the majority of the main ingredients are things you have likely heard of or can buy at the grocery store. Also notice that no CORN or CORN derivative is anywhere on there - No funny colorants or dyes either. Was...

Back before I learned to READ I fed mine Purina. :( (notice how many times CORN appears in those ingredients) Never, never again. Not even if it were FREE - Never again. The allergy problems that garbage caused was way more expensive to deal with than the few pennies I might have saved on...

I used to be hard core about those rules. Seriously. Would get home and immediately go 'inspect' the couch for Dober hairs to see if they had been on my stuff while I was out. Girls would be standing there in their crates (crate doors wide open) watching me and waiting for my verdict! (either a...

I can clearly see in that last picture your fella following the doggie blanket rule there. :) (the way i understand it - so long as more than 50% or their body is on their blanket - THAT is a pass) Your guy is clearly more like in the 99% of their body being on the blanket. That there is not...

After years of no problems at all it seems the wife has out of nowhere developed severe allergies to the Dobergirls. Not left with much choice but to do some rehoming. Not looking to make any money here - Just looking to find a new home. Jackie is great with kids, 100% house trained, No...

I do the same thing with the dog blanket on the couch here. When it is 'ok' for them to get on the couch (or whatever furniture) the special blanket comes out and gets unfolded and set down. Gives the girls something they can see that they know belongs to them and lets them know it is ok to get...

One thing I have definitely noticed raising them in pairs vs raising them one at a time is the difference in their bite inhibition. If it is a multi dog home or a pair being raised together - They are going to learn from each other and are very likely to soon have very soft mouths (not a lot...

I definitely feel like a dummy now. I had no clue. Appreciate the education here! :)

I can't stand not knowing any longer and got to ask - What is the deal with the whiskers being trimmed like that?

Having seen a bunch of your pictures with unreal amounts of frozen stuff in them - I can't say I blame them! :) The older I get - the less my body can stand the cold. I would shrivel up and die if I had to do a single winter like you handle seemingly with ease.

Way back in the beginning of dog ownership for me I had a male. (before I figured out that females were infinitely superior in every way) Was at work with him one day and he was more or less smack in the middle of the shop licking his balls as one of our salesmen stopped in for a visit. Dog...

Treat him the same exact way his mom would if he was trying the same crap on her. (and NO, she would NOT be giving him a toy for those sort of actions on his part) :)

That dog is going to bond with the person feeding him and caring for him. NOT the random dogs at the dog park. :)

Not sure about where you are at but for me - I consider myself very lucky as there are a LOT of them to choose from all within a short distance from home. If I were to take a map and draw a circle representing 10 minutes of driving time from my house (with the house being in the middle of the...

This particular thread here is my daily 'smile place'. When I need a smile - THIS THREAD is where I visit! :) Appreciate all of you sharing what you do! :)

Beautiful ears! :)

Those tests are a snapshot of today and not a prediction of the future. :( I am pretty much on the verge of tears typing now just thinking about the last one I lost to DCM. I had the same tests run on her and even had her results sent off and looked at by doggie heart specialists in...

You DID help people with this thread. You can definitely count me in as one of them. Granted that this was just an accident and your neighbor was not 'trying' to harm your dog but reading all of this thread and about your dog and your troubles has done a pretty good job of kicking me out of my...

Best way to desensitize them to anything is to do it more - not less.
