Thanx smkie, I try to take her out several times a day. Tonight b4 she pee'd I took her out 3 time btwn 5-9:30. She does get water with her meal. She hasn't been interested in her water bowl much lately so I started putting water in with her food. She also doesn't do well with regular dog food...

Hi everyone- I haven't been on this site in a long time, but I thought I could use some advice/ thoughts/ help :confused: I have 2 Chi mixes- Mira and Baby. Well Mira is the one with the issues. Here a bit of backround. She was rescued from the streets, was several lbs underweight, and was...

Well Jake has been a lot better! I use the wipes during the week, the waterless shampoo every other wk and a bath every other week ( I try to switch off), unless we have to go to my parents then they get a bath the night b4 w/ the allergin reducing shampoo even if it's supposed to be an off wk...

Sunday I was outside washing the back door and came in to find water on the floor. I was so hoping that water leaked in and not pee. As I started to mop it up I saw what looked like ketchup or blood under the table (it was difficult to see), but I knew we hadn't used ketchup in a while... so I...

We had Baby 1st (chi mix), then got Mira (also a chi), Baby was a bit unsure of her at 1st but then they got along great, maybe a wk or so. Then we got Jake (boxer puppy). Baby is 8lbs, Mira, 6lbs.... Jake was 9 when we got him, now 2 months later he's 30lbs! Baby did not like him at all. She...

We also use Banfield. All 3 dogs. Our vet is wonderful!!! He once sat in a tub w/ ice to get a very sick dogs temp down, plus this dog was w/ a rescue and he took a very reduced fee to help out. The dog got better, major thanks to the vet! We moved about an 1 1/2 hr away bit still travel back...

when we 1st got Baby (our 1st dog) my mom play hide and seek w/ her... not your way but just like you would w/ a real baby. cover your face and say where _____? She would say that to Baby and them mover her hands away and say there she is. Baby would just cock her head to the side and then...

Everytime my husband plays w/ jake he always gets bloody and usually on his face. Jake doesn't mean to hurt him and it usually doesn't hurt my husband but like a minute or 2 later... there is blood. Just a tiny bit but still. Or he has long scratches on his back. They are both brusiers! Oh and...

we have 2 rescues and a puppy. all 3 are now getting sick in the car. 1st thing don't feed b4 trips. we actually don't feed them anything that day (well atleast until we get there). then we give them benedryl. I sit with them in the back while my husband drives. Last- puppy pads!!!! we cover the...

Well we have only had a small puffs ;) Not that they smell like roses but my husband say they aren't that bad .... YET. Our little tiny chi has a funky butt sometimes but my hubby said it was way worse than them. :eek: She's silent, small and deadly, I wonder what he will be- Big, powerful...

It's not that everyone is bad but some do take atvantage. Some have to be a bit higher for what they do and provide for the animals. But there seem to be some that have other reasons for being so high in price and being so picky. There are even a few individuals that will go and rescue a dog...

Ok we are all getting dressed up for Halloween. My husband and I are going to be Daisey and Donald duck- yes he's going to be Daisey :D The dogs: Baby (chi) will wear her eagles jersey, Mira (chi) has a small fur coat and pearls, I was thinking bag lady at first but w/ the pearls I'm thinking...

Sorry back to the original question. Have you ever tried Utter Balm (wow is that going to start up a whole other set of comments :D ) You can get it at the pet store, feed store, even the CVS or other pharmacy. It was originally for cows utters, but people started using it on pets, now people...

We just upgrade his food. He was on puppy food w/ mothers milk. I was either the Mom milk or he had coccidia (sp?). Either way we changed his food and he was on meds. He is doing so much better now. We didn't have his ears done. He looked so cute w/ floppy ears, plus I didn't like the idea of...

The group that I'm w/ will take in any type of dog and work to find it a home (from a very high kill shelter). We have other groups that will only take certain kinds and if the aren't pure enough forget it. Then they make it very had to adopt a dog, many home interviews, they really pick apart...
