Sienna would love to sleep in my bed, and often tries, but she ends up getting irritated with how much I move around, and that she can't be exactly where I want to put my feet. I invite her up, but inevitably a few minutes later she jumps down in a huff. She apparently has bed issues though...LOL

I'm no expert on hounds, but she looks like a fine-boned/delicate Beagle to me. Very ladylike :)

This is what I've been working on lately...modeled after Lost Dogs of Illinois but localized for Southern California. I share lost & found posts on Facebook and Twitter, and have a blog/website where I share tips for finding lost pets (or finding the person who lost the pet you found). If...

I second the "leash noose". If you make the loop big enough and lay it on the ground, the dog won't notice as much when you slip it over his head (as he's eating food that you placed on the ground inside the loop)

Same here, I'm fascinated by it and it looks like a great way to work with your dog as a team. But the physical, monetary, and time requirements would be too much for me, sadly. You could always teach him to track lost pets! I'll probably do that with my next dog. It's another good way to...

:hail: Yes, it's good for people to use common sense. But the inflammatory photos, etc, get people stirred up and then they overreact, which I don't see as helpful. There was just a case here of a dog stolen out of someone's truck, it was in a camper shell and at NIGHT, but I'd bet money that...

Not sure what you're feeding, but I've found that feeding raw helps. I can start to smell my dog after she's been eating kibble for a while...or too many processed treats even. No smell at all from raw...well, except when she's been chewing on a bone that's kind of, er, ripe. Eww. I'd...

Pretty much what everyone else said. Dogs aren't children - they're dogs. I actually think it disrespects dogs when we treat them like human children. They are fascinating, unique *animals* with their own instincts, communication style, and perspective. Treating them as though they are human...

I'm old school. My critters drink out of a ceramic bowl...no, not THAT ceramic bowl :lol-sign: Just a regular old stoneware soup bowl. I had one of those pet water fountain things, but you have to be really on top of cleaning those apparently. I wasn't and it started making my dog sick - the...

Even this could be fine for some dogs. I think it really depends on the individual. Obviously keeping a large, high energy dog this way in a small city home wouldn't be such a good life. But a pair of small dog in an average sized suburban house, with a doggy door and each other to play with all...

How about flyball?

Add me to the "encouraging bad behavior" club. Sienna gets rewarded for begging and just generally being cute. Yes, pawing my boyfriend at the dinner table is cute LOL. And I've always encouraged her to jump on me...she's easier to reach that way. :D I also encourage her to chase squirrels...

Yep, this is why Sienna wears a rolled leather collar, and I keep it loose enough so it rests on her shoulders...below her ruff mostly. She also doesn't wear it in the house. I walk her on a slip collar since the rolled leather one is so loose - it's really just there to hold her tags. I'm a tad...

It's 1/2" wide. I'm used to mailing books :) Wasn't sure what the padded envelopes cost when they're light LOL. Thank goodness for the usps.com shipping calculator!

I found one more leash...I swear these things multiply like bunnies! About 4' (not including the loop length) Mendota slip lead, brown woven poly? with leather trim. Brand new - I removed the tags but haven't used it. $9 Untitled by Pacific_Coast, on Flickr

Also for any SoCal people, I have a collapsible wire crate for large dogs, two doors, plastic liner is NOT original - it's a couple inches short on the sides but still usable. Far too heavy to ship but if anyone local is interested, it's $50. Measures 36 L x 27 H x 24 W. In Los Angeles/San...

Spring cleaning continues...still have a few of the books from my previous post. And leashes. How I ended up with so many leashes for ONE dog, I'll never know. :rolleyes: leashes by Pacific_Coast, on Flickr 1. 6' brown leather leash, purchased from Petco. Used but in good condition...

I have a Tagg tracker, too, and wish it was small enough for my cat. It's barely small enough for Sienna, and she's 25 lbs. Also, since she's incredibly fluffy, she normally wears a rolled leather collar, and the Tagg doesn't attach well to that. Had to buy a separate flat collar just for the...
