Two of the boys have kangaroo braid tag collars and they're splendid. Very soft and sturdy. I'd think that, if priced right, they'd sell very well.

It doesn't offend me/make me uncomfortable when women breastfeed in public. We have two breastfeeding doctors at work, so it's quite a part of my day by this point. Someone is always feeding, leaving to feed, or going to a private place to pump... That said, when I have my own child, I...

I had my appendix out and was able to eat jello type things that evening. When I had my tonsils out I was able to eat that evening as well. I've never been nauseated from anesthesia or pain meds, but everyone is different in that respect

The allergy test can really help pinpoint things. Food allergies are quite common, but so are environmental allergies. I went through years of allergy issues, food changes, etc with my late Chow, only to discover that he was allergic to most types of grasses, weeds, and the tree that was in my...

I really enjoyed it:) I read it on a plane trip

Always at least one (preferably two:p) Chows. And we like Dogue de Bordeauxs and standard Poodles as well. Little dog wise, we'll probably always stick with an adopted poodle/poodle mix. But, we really like the Brussels Griffon as well (smooth coat). The theme seems to be poodles and chows:p

Already having Cockers, you've probably already checked, but he doesn't have an inner ear infection does he? That strong of a reaction to the collar seems to point to something unpleasant

It really doesn't seem that suspicious to me. I've seen dogs dumped with collars on, but never their tags. It's just too easy to find an owner. My guess is, as others have said, someone found the dog and put it in the park to contain it. The ball may already have been there, our dog park is...

yep, do see if she perhaps wandered out of someone's yard. If she doesn't seem to show outright pain (and most puppies are pretty vocal about that) it would seem to me it's a longer standing issue..perhaps something she was born with. If no owners come forward in a week or so, she should be...

I, too, would have him seen. Green discharge is usually something icky. My late Legend had an eye ulcer from a scratch and it took ages (and two surgeries) to clear up. I was worried for a bit that he'd lose his eye. We actually didn't put off having him looked at, but I'm even more cautious...

If he had a rabies tag and license, it won't be hard for the shelter to find the owner.

Grimm, 10 month old Shih Tzu/mystery terrier muppet dog. Adopted from the vet clinic I work at. and before I joined, but my elfles (12 year old Poodle/Chihuahua cross) was adopted from the same vet clinic:)

His face looks very Akita to me, not so much Canaan Dog. He's a very handsome boy:) I don't take much stock in the DNA tests..the three dogs I've personally seen do it have come back with some odd results. (they used the blood test) A lab/pointer type looking dog came back as being a...

uh oh, I have Chows AND terriers..I'd better get sterilized right now;)

I've been trying to get an appointment with a doctor for a week now. I'll be a new patient, so when you call as a new patient wanting to set up an appointment, you have to leave a message and they'll call you back when they get a chance. (no talking to humans for we new patient minions:p)...
