German Shepherd Dog fans -- any suggestions for Christmas Gifts?

feeds@yuku.com (Crocodile) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:28:48 GMT

Besides an actual GSD, that is. My 10 year old wants a GSD puppy for Christmas. He knows better than to even ask, but I know that's what he's dreaming of. This is the kid who covered his writing journal at schools with pictures of police dogs, plus one shot of Obama (the assignment was to cover it with photos of your heroes), and who keeps asking me what colleges are good at criminal justice AND animal science since he wants to be a canine officer.

So, I'd like to put...

Here's a new one for Holiday

feeds@yuku.com (HolidaysDad) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:04:02 GMT

We were having a pretty quiet day at home today, since we spent a LONG chunk yesterday at the dog park, so I gave her some animal part (cow foot, I think) to nosh on and she was a happy camper all morning. Around 11, my cleaner shows up, We greet her and then I start picking up all of Holiday's toys and animal parts (cow knuckles mostly, but a couple hooves as well) to put them away. She follows me back into the office/kennel room, grabs the cow foot she was gnawing on in her kennel...

from the Netherlands. But I know some Italian Greyhound folks have ordered from her and received promt and gracious service. I remember she is also happy to correspond in English.

Here are a couple of the collars being modeled on her site - lots more gorgeous pictures of dogs and collars if you click on the Klantenfoto's link

Lil' Hound Doggie update! :)

Since I haven't really had time to post and new pics or post on here about how freakin' awesome Echo is, here are the highlights:

- He weighs 8.25# at ~9 weeks old.
- The brown on his chest is starting to cover more of his body... makes him look slightly brindle-ish. Will post pics as soon as I get my camera battery charged.
- He's ridiculously rambunctious when he wants to be, but SUPER sweet and calm when he needs to be, too.
- He's SO polite.. and...

A Pleasant 1st

Maya's not a demonstrative dog. She shows that she loves me by following me around the house, and grins when she's happy, but she doesn't beg for attention or that kind of thing.

She's had a pretty rough morning; her sensitive stomach kicked in again at 5 am and we were outside with diarrhea, but she perked up a bit after having some chicken and rice (I keep some in the freezer always) so we went out for a short walk. In the middle of playing in a field she...

Not good training! Just Bogart amusing me!

feeds@yuku.com (BT4ever) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:04:07 GMT

Yesterday I decided that it was time Cassie learned some tricks. Been really slack in that dept with her. So I grab some treats and Cassie, put Bogart in a down stay behind us.

The trick is to roll over. So I have Cassie in a down in front of me and I start luring her over. She is so not Bogart, but her head and eventually the rest of her kind of flop over. Treats and praise for both.

So this progress's to where I think she got it, so I start adding the word...

Congenital Cataracts - Learn Something New....

feeds@yuku.com (SW845) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:45:01 GMT

Our two seven-month-old poodle fosters (one in his new home and one healing up from her spay) took a trip to Port City Veterinary Referral Hospital to see Dr.Cassotis - board certified eye guy - to get checked for cataracts (their NYC vet had spotted something).

Turns out, they both have them - but...

He's Home

feeds@yuku.com (scooterpiemom) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:41:08 GMT

and DEMANDING food and water- which the vet said to wait a while for.......I mean demanding as in shouting at me and walking into the pantry...and shouting at me, and then crying piteously, and then getting mad and shouting again.......it's gonna be a long hour........no pain, they pulled four front teeth, no fracture, so he's in great shape.........

Bootsie has cancer.

feeds@yuku.com (tessie47) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:27:02 GMT

We just got back from the vet where Bootsie had a sonogram. She has 2 tumors; one on her kidney and one on her spleen. Vet said chemo won't work. He said the herbal medicine has a 50/50 chance of shrinking the tumors so I am starting her on them. Our dog, Mugsy, got an extra 15 months of good quality life with these herbals, but he had mass cell tumors .
I'm to bring her back in 2 weeks for a recheck and then in 4 weeks he will repeat the sonogram to see if they shrunk.

Murphy's first cat "punch"

feeds@yuku.com (BigFluffyAnimals) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:12:40 GMT

Poor guy. I was brushing Dugan last night, who really hates to be brushed. Meowing and growling and trying to squirm away the whole time.Well he finally won and escaped to the night table. Eye level with eager, unsuspecting Murphy who approached to incessantly sniff the cat as usual. Dugan was still WAY fired up from the brushing so he hissed and smack! A little kitty punch right across Murphy's nose. He is so mellow he will sit there and let the dog sniff him forever and when he gets...

Reilly O'Reilly (Purple)

feeds@yuku.com (Tundra Ice) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:11:26 GMT

Okay, this dog is getting to be too much! He's got to find a new home soon because we are getting so attached...... Tonight, I went to take him out of the kitchen (where we have him confined when not supervised) and I said "Reilly O'Reilly, let's go potty". He peed immediately. He sits, lays down and stands. He's 12 weeks old Friday.

Wolfgang is pathetic

feeds@yuku.com (Cline) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:11:05 GMT

Even more so then his usual patheticness.

He is sitting outside DD's bedroom door whining, scratching and begging to get in. He sounds like his best friend has died. What is the cause of this outrageous behavior?

Popcorn.

Have we ever given him popcorn when he has begged for it? No, but hope springs eternal! It's pathetic I tell you, just pathetic.

I think it's time for some quality crate time!

Strangest complement you have received about your dog

feeds@yuku.com (myface) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:37:36 GMT

Hi, I was recently received a compliment about Grady that is strange but nice and sticks out in my mind. Grady is a petite lab by Montana standards. Montana: the land of 100 pound labradors. He weighs maybe 40 to 50 pounds. This means people usually ask what his age is and what breed he is. People usually guess Golden retriever/ Yellow Lab cross and I say that he is all lab. At this point they usually say something about how he is little and will get taller. He is a year old so he probably...

Took Bogart to the vet again

feeds@yuku.com (BT4ever) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:55:09 GMT

Yesterday afternoon I noticed Bogart's tummy making gurgley sounds. So when he went outside I followed, just to make sure everthing in the poop department looked good. It didn't! What I found was a lot of blood and a small amount of very soft stool.

Ran inside to phone the vet's office. Why is it when you are in panic mode those darn cordless phones are nowhere to be found. Anyway finally got a hold of the vets office. Where they tell me that yes they can get him...

Encouraged Thyroid update p2

After working with our behaviorist.... working with Linc.... getting the treatment plan worked out and working, I've actually begun to see tangible progress with the boy!

Baby steps are so darned small...but they're definitely moving us forward!

The first thing I had to deal with was getting him interested in durable treats. Sounds like a no brainer, but he had to learn how to work a stuffed kong! He has also developed an interest in chewies about 70% of the time...
