Jessica, off topic a bit, but I have to ask you how Smudge did when you carried him to the truck?

Gee, this tough and there are many others on this board with more and innovative training experience than me that will chime in when they read this thread. Since she likes being outside in the yard, that is her reward. Barking correction removes the reward. So if every time she starts...

My house is mostly tile and hardwood. Only the bedrooms are carpeted. I do have oriental rugs in the dining room, foyer, and family room. The Roomba easily goes up and down the rugs except for one small rug in front of the door to the garage. I watched it and figured out it was because of the...

I got my Roomba and patiently waited for it to charge. My only hesitation in buying this vacuum was the not so positive reviews about it's longevity. But my back wasn't holding up so good either from vacuuming multiple times a day, so I took the plunge. I LOVE IT!!!!!! The amount of stuff...

Those leather braided martingales are the car's pajamas. I'm going to wait until the girls are grown before I invest in a permanent collar like that due to the expense. Matching lead - too cool!

Sally's? I never even thought of them, that's an excellent idea! Are they double thinning edge or single? The specs didn't say or I didn't understand.

Boy, I am probably going to get a time-out for this.......but You are victim of your own ignorance. Your statements in this post are outrageous and quite frankly you don't belong in the health care field or owning a dog. There, now I'm in the corner waiting for my official time-out.

Ha Ha. Yes, Ariel goes into "stealth" mode, lowering her head and shoulders, moving forward very slowly, totally focused, just like the big cats on Nat Geo. LOL Then the pause, gathering of haunches, and POUNCE!

BINGO! This is excellent insight! I've almost stopped Ariel from barking totally, which I don't want by the way. I did it by specifically not giving her what she wanted or doing what she wanted when she barked. I also did something I am loathe to mention because everyone everywhere says...

You're not wrong, Barb. The solution is simple - don't feed trolls.

So sorry to hear this, it must have knocked the breath out of you. I wonder if it hasn't perforated the bowel if the afflicted section can be removed like surgeons do with people. If there is no metastasis perhaps surgery alone might greatly extend his life. But, the best news would be a...

Yup, preemie is a good description. She was so fragile. But you're right on the money - as she is feeling stronger and better she's turning into a tiny little energizer bunny. I haven't measured Flower's height but I would guess about 8 inches. She has a very delicate bone structure. My vet...

I'm real interested in the "fix" here. Maybe it'll help me with my chocolate obsession. :biggrin2:

Conditions usually associated with a puppy mill operation should get them shut down and the owners heavily fined, at a minimum. That's an easy start and every state should have animal cruelty laws with enough teeth to make them hurt. I'm talking large monetary fines, or potentially property...

My GSD always drooled when she was in the car and if the ride was longer than 5 minutes it was followed by vomiting. She never outgrew it. :no: If it is indeed carsickness then I'd talk to my vet about correct dosage for Dramamine.
