the one-dog two-dog dilemma by
Beth In Alaska
I'm really torn about getting another dog. Life is easier with one, but I'm
thinking its better for Tok to have company when we work.
Whats your opinion?
And I'm considerinng putting out on the alaska dog people list to "borrow" a
dog for a week and see how Tok feels. Is this stupid?

Not another one! by
Paula
I now have a boxer living at my house temporarily. She showed up at
the middle school (yes, the same one the cat showed up at before
Christmas --- it is between two pretty big developments and has kids
with food). She looks like she is not fully grown, but she has
obviously been nursing in the...

like diarhea or upset stomach which he has had
often enough in his life so I didn't think
much of it until...

of 1987 and forced him to read on the air a statement about how the CIA and

Pit Bull Ban by
Lemony Fresh
This story is taken from my local daily paper.
The one thing about the whole pit bull controversey that stands out to me is
this: it seems that either pit bull owners are very responsible, committed or
they are ignorant, abusive idiots. I'm pretty ambivalent about the ban, having
narrowly...

OT - possibly - dumb question - likely! by
Tim Knight
Hi,
Not really a behaviour question.
My puppy likely has worms. Although we purchased him from a reputable pet
store, and he was treated for worms, we found what looks very much like a
round worm near his bed. This will be confirmed tomorrow after a trip to the
vet.
I was wondering if there was any...

Bark collar vs ? for growling? by
Steve Bukosky
The situation is our Siberian Husky who otherwise well behaved, likes
to wrestle with some dogs when visiting the dog park. Usually it is
good natured but I'd like to minimize this activity. The most
annoying thing my Husky does when he wrestles is that he likes to
growl. Is a bark collar...

Food Aggression Test -- Fair or Not??? by
Charlie Wilkes
I have been watching Animal Cops on Animal Planet, and one chronic
problem they have is with pit bulls hauled in from fight rings etc.
Most of the dogs are lovable beasts who are only too happy to be in
better hands. But a few have temperament issues.
When determining if these dogs are safe to be...

Muttley and the Power Jungle (New pix) by
Paul E. Schoen
Late Wednesday afternoon a big thunderstorm rolled through, with lots of
rain, so I turned off the computer, and soon after, the power went out. The
BGE crews "got on it" and I heard chainsaws in the distance. Muttley and I
walked up the street to investigate, but the problem seemed to be up on...

One more thing the trainer said by
White Monkey
So far so good here, we're getting Saskia out a lot more, playing ball and
things more instead of just taking her to places where she can run and play
with other dogs, working more on reinforcing basic obedience, making sure
she sees the baby as a positive influence ("Look, Saskia, Walter's...

Weird phone call--right advice? by
KrisHur
Looking for some hand-holding here--did I do right?
I received an interesting phone call. I organized our club's ATTS
temperament test and one of the local rottie clubs referred to me a woman
with a rottie pup who's attacking her and her family.
She's had GSD's in the past and was certain this...

When shelly reproached me that certain people in this group were

were offended by the truth. That all that those offended people had
been doing was to scream that Jerry lied, without actually bringing any
proof that what he said...

You learn something new everyday by

I just wish it hadn't come at 5:45 in the morning, or in the way that it
did. It wasn't that long ago that I posted about how Khan has never
thrown up before. Well, now he has. The good news is, Khan signals to
let us know that he needs to puke. The bad news is that we weren't
nearly quick...

Disgusting treat for Muttley by
Paul E. Schoen
This morning, on his regular walk, Muttley found what appeared to be the
leg of a large bird like a buzzard, complete with orange talons. He did not
want to let it go, and he dropped it once, but I could not get him away
quickly enough to avoid his grabbing it again. As he walked, he chewed on...

Flowers or Bow Ties? by
Child
Dillemma: wedding plans moving forward. Friends are criticizing my plans
to make my dogs wear flowers around their necks for the ceremony. Criticism
is generally about them being BOYS, not about how its cruel to make a dog
wear a flowery collar for 10 minutes. Bow ties were suggested...

IMO, the story was a fabrication of one sort or another, and a feeble
