Hi all, We recently took in a rescued Harrier. She is 11 months old and we are ( at least ) her third home. Her last one lasted around 10 days. For the most part I am at home approximately 22 hours a day so she gets plenty of attention and 3 or 4 walks a day relative to other issues within the...

My dog barks every time the door bells rings or somebody knocks on the door. Does anybody have any advice on what to do to stop him from barking?

I woke up this morning to about 3 inches of snow. The dogs are loving this.......:) Gabby and Lady rip and tear through the yard having a blast. I hope to get some video of them before I leave this afternoon for dialysis. Bubba doesn't care for it so much. He's my porch puppy he's content to...

The guy who was complaining about the fart discussion might want to pass on this one. Pan had asked to go outside a little while ago, and I let her out, finished lunch, and let her back in again. Come back and sit down, and she wants to go out again. I told her that she'd just been out and to...

I got a new lap top for Christmas, but I can't figure out where the spell-checker is on it. It's Windows XP, just like my desk top, and I use Outlook Express. On the desk top, the *spelling* feature is in the drop-down, tools, options, spelling, right along with *compost*, *send*, *read*,...

I'll admit to deleting without reading a lot of the "over protective dog" thread. It got boring with people repeating themselves a while ago. So I apologize if this subject has been brought up. Here's my question: What now? I think the cabal is pretty much in agreement that Peter shouldn't...

We have a 16 year old active and well exercised Pomeranian in otherwise good health. In the past year he often cannot make it through the night without popping out of his basket and quietly peeing on the bedroom rug. Half the time, he manages to make it to the door and scratch, and we let him...

Hi People, our account has been phished and our identity stolen. Someone is sending very lurid, objectionable and sex-oriented messages under RENT-A-CLOUD. They don't come from us. We remain clean, unique and exciting as always. Our proper signature is: Greetings - Klaus and...

One evening a thunderstorm kept hovering above us. We live on a ridge surrounded by valleys. They add to each thunderclap a chain of echoes which try to give dog Rusty a heart attack. He hopped on my bed that evening shaking all over. I held him tight to keep his bones together. Each thunder made...

I need to contact you, and need your email address.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/2250191545/ Please excuse the mighty clashing of the futon cover and the pillows. You can't even see the worst of it: a bright orange and black tiger striped pillow. Aieee! Anyway! Harriet likes to have her head propped up when she's sleeping. ...

The test was on sale a few days ago for 49.99 .. still a bit steep, but I went for it, thinking I was daft. http://poochiq.com/sc1_products_iqkit.php It came today. I'm glad I did. Now knowing what it is, and what's in it, I'd gladly pay the original asking price. I opened the Box, and Tuck...

I know there are a lot of folks who "do" or don't "do" guns. I'm trying to make sense of something that has happened locally. A 16 year old just killed his 2 younger brothers and well as his parents. He shot them with his father's gun. While one may think that the family was for gun rights...

This one sounds funny to me too, but here goes-- Does anyone have any suggestions for cutting down the static electricity from petting the dog? Cubbe is the original cold weather dog. I love walking her in the winter. She scrambles on hardened snow drifts, buries her head in soft snow,...

This isn't a problem, but it is something I'm curious about. Cubbe doesn't eat when we're not home. We often fill up her bowl just before leaving to go out. When we come home, she greets us with the waggy dance, then goes to the bowl for her meal. Sometimes we give her lunch and then spend...

I previously posted about this. The website with the pics is at www.barkitechture.com, however I just checked it out, and it doesn't have any updates. I got my information from the Marion County Humane Society. The grossed amount will be split between them and the Ocala Multi Cultural...

Texas Mayor Resigns Amid Pet Dog Scandal ALICE, Texas (AP) -- A small-town mayor accused of secretly keeping her neighbors' dog after telling them the pet died has resigned, and a judge is set to decide custody of the Shih Tzu. Grace Saenz-Lopez apologized Friday to Alice residents and said she...

You may have seen this before, but I thought it was fascinating. Snopes says it's true: http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/polardog.asp Of course, polar bears (and any other wild animals) are not always gentle, but this shows that creatures of various kinds can coexist peacefully and even...

I'm not done yet: Norwegian Elkhound Parent Club has passed some new test recommendations Hip Dysplasia * OFA evaluation * PennHip evaluation * OVC evaluation * GDC evaluation
