Sorry for all my off topic questions lately, but Cubbe is fine, healthy, and not particularly amusing lately. I can't think of anything to report about her, and I've been running into odd questions that beg for a bunch of usenet buddies more than googling. I feel like I'm asking for hangover...

We just got an update on Bear, who is now called Buster. The people who took him already had a dog called Bear, so they named our bear, Buster. --------------------------------------------------------------- message: just wanted to send you some pictures of Buster, to let you know he is doing...

Inspired by the expectations thread, I'm just wondering if anyone's seen "At the end of my leash." It's a Canadian series, but I think it's available on National Geographic as well. What did you think? The show is only a half hour and just shows highlights, so it's a little difficult to see the...

A stray male cow dog wandered up to my place a few weeks ago. He was almost starved and needed a lot of water and sleep. My other dog needed a companion for a while, so I fed, watered and took care of him. Recently, I've had to tie the dogs down due to their tendency to wander. The stray...

I woke up this morning to crystal skies, no wind, a temperature of 6F, and 5" of fluffy, beautiful snow. It was obviously going to be a perfect day on the trail. But that's not what I did. Instead, I drove to Fort Erie, Ontario to rendez-vous with and bring home Nduringpeace's Captain Jack, an...

Janet, a person in Maryland has an American Bulldog charging people. She thinks the dog is a big baby, and the awesome threatening displays that scare the pants off people are funny. Because SHE knows the dog has never carried through and hurt anyone. She thinks the dog is playing, and does...

Hello all, I was reading about what to feed my dog and it triggered a childhood memory. When I was a kid, back in the sixties, we had a terrier mix, and my mother, a city girl, used to insist on feeding it store bought dog food, I think mostly alpo types, maybe because the advertisements said they...

Hi y'all, I had such a fun shopping day and wanted to share it. We set out to find the new Petsmart. I have told the younger dogs they are getting a new Cuz or Dino or the longest time. First stop was Walgreen's Rx, after driving around and around to find Petsmart. Since we couldn't find it,...

The last dog, we had, died at 13 1/2, and he was a regular sized daschund. I don't remember it being much of an issue for him to get house trained. This cocker spaniel is taken out very frequently, and we are using crate training since we both work during the day. He does fine with that, and he...

I would like to know if anyone has an interest in posting your choice for president at this time. I know that it is not PC. My intent is not to evoke a discussion or debate, just to get a cross section of who you would vote for, or have voted for in the primary. I will go first, if anyone else...

We have had a visitor of late. Both times he has dropped by, Jubal Early happened to be in the front yard with me. The visitor is visiting a block away. I assume with his owner. He runs down here to visit. He is a more handsome red pit bull with more white markings than JE. He appears to be a...

I was at dog club last night. It's not my local dog club, but I was given membership there under the premise that I handle their tracking tests this year. I had called a tracking meeting and sat in on some of the classes as i waited for meeting time. One of the handlers had a ST Bernard puppy,...

Our Greyhound/Dobe cross is an enthusiastic and strong tail-wagger. I noticed he was licking his tail yesterday and realized that all the dogs were overdue for their Frontline. Figured he'd picked up some fleas and it itched. I applied Frontline. Then last night while we were all sleeping,...

The sit-stay is a basic exercise that all dogs should know. I invite you to share your knowledge in this regard.

http://flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/ It's not a good photo, but I really like the composition. I rearranged the living room, so that the couch is on a diagonal. It gives a better view out the patio windows, and Harriet's been taking advantage of it. It was raining earlier today, so Miss...

Too bad Micheal Vick and other dog fighting retards were not in attendance. (Why are we expending American lives to protect these primative swine?) http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=48584 ted

I work for Home Depot, and one of the perks is getting to see the dogs that some folks bring in. Last night, I had the honor of meeting Amanda... a Pug/Jack Russell mix puppy. She had a little pink sweater dress on. I immediately fell into my baby talk, and probably sounded quite goofy... ...

Schutzhund 1, 2, or 3. We use mostly the best and very wanted blood line POHRANICNI STRAZ that's follower of the old blood line DDR Bojar v. SCHÖTTERHOF and TREU v. SCHÄFERSTOLZ, that gives super characteristic features with huge temperament and "like to work" feature. We use those dogs...

I have a dog that, when fed, eats his food like he has not been fed in 2 years. He eats the food whole, chokes, spits the food out and... well, you get the picture. How can I make him slow down? I have tried exercise. He runs 2 hours on a treadmill, but is ready to run some more, when he gets off.

I have a dog that loves to dive to the bottom of our 9 foot pool. Does anyone know the record for the deepest free breath dive for a dog?
