Reading the Teena thread made me wonder what circumstances would those people who criticized Kate (Charlie & Michael) deem appropriate for euthanizing a dog. Everyone who has ever had to make that decision and everyone who works with animals has thought long and hard about it and come to personal...

Anybody familiar with these breeders: http://www.vonhena-c.com I'm drooling over those puppies. (Yes, pug is now fighting with GSD at the top of my wish list. :} PetsMart Pet Trainer My Kids, My Students, My Life: http://hometown.aol.com/dfrntdrums/myhomepage/index.html Last updated June 27 at...

My dog Jasper absolutely loves to meet new people. When we're out on the walking trails, he likes to run up to other people to greet them . He would never bite or hurt anybody, he just wants to say hi, and for people to pet him. I had a rather upsetting incident today . we were out on our regular...

I hate poop laws. Leash laws are okay, but unless someone is getting 20 turds a day in their yard, I think they should just get used to it as being part of civilization where man and beast live together. I also get the feeling that dog hater get a special joy from making dog owners pick up warm,...

This started Thursday evening. My 3.5 year old Boykin Spaniel will not sit still or sleep. She keeps pacing around like she's deathly afraid of something. Every now and then, she'll take off running like something tried to get her. She only seems to be content when she is sitting directly on...

Hi, I'm new to this group and I am in need of some desperate help! I have a male german shepherd who is 1year 4months old. He is a great dog, and very smart. However the problem is that he chews up my kitchen floor. (I have those tiles that just peel and stick.) I keep his cage in the kitchen so it...

I'm hoping to get in to a beginning agility class next week (evaluation next week, class begins in a few). Anything special I should be aiming for? I've been thinking that my wild child would not only enjoy and eventually be good at agility, but that it may help him gain some self-control over...

... for me, anyway. One of the women down at the feed store told me that there are a couple of experienced sleddogs at the SPCA, so I went up there to have a look. They turned out not to be experienced, but they were both awfully sweet and I talked some with the person who's responsible for their...

I have never seen a CM show, as I only get 3 channels on TV, and the ones thart CM lives on aren't one of those. So I purchased a book by him "Be the Pack Leader" I can't understand why there is so much hostility towards CM. That book, page for page, hits the nail on the head with laser...

Hello all: We just adopted a new Yorkie Terrier; he cannot be more than a year or so old. Here is the problem: intitially, and only because he was "scared" to sleep alone, we permitted him to sleep in the bed. Well, one can imagine the problems associated with doing this, besides becoming sleep...

I have posted here a few times and love the info I find here and just listening to you all and seeing all your lovely pets...I know I will probably have some 'not so nice' responses here, but I have to ask all of you about a situation that is starting to cause conflict in the household...my...

am the person who pulled a toy gun on TV anchorman David Horowitz in August of 1987 and forced him to read on the air a statement about how the CIA and alien beings had replaced my family and friends with clones. I am here now to explain to you how I came to this conclusion, and the events that...

I finally got Rusty's registration papers and he now needs a real registered name. He's a fox-red male Lab, energetic and sweet. I'm not particularly attached to names that reflect their color (i.e. __ Hershey, __ Mocha, __ Cocoa, etc. Maybe it's just a chocolate thing). So far the "best" option...

one of my cow-orkers was just on the phone with her son. (the shared phone for our unit is right behind my desk.) i overheard them talking about their dogs (son has a Boston and she has two Shih Tzus). apparently son's Boston is uber gassy, so she recommended that he feed him Iams, "because...

this morning i woke up to the sound of Manu growling softly in his crate. i figured there was a deer in the yard or something, so i came out to see what it was. snow. apparently last night's rain storm turned to snow. for those of you in the east and midwest who are sick of the stuff...

Just checking but the 'Stalker pup' (Mabel Anne) once *out of the home and at the Vets* evinced something we never trained. At least, nothing directly (deliberately etc). If we want her to sit someplace specific, we point at that spot then give the asl for sit or 'down' or whatever. We'd...
