    Anybody else's dog(s) acting weird lately?

    on our walk today he was acting SO strange! Like, he would just stop walking and I'd turn around and he'd look all upset, and I go "come on!" and he'd come running to me and jump right at me and lick my face. Then he'd walk for a few steps, then stop, and do it again! A usually 45 minute walk...

    Foster is becoming more and more possessive!!

    Lately, since the passing of our other dog a few weeks ago, Foster has become very possessive about his food, and toys that involve food. He tried to bite me a few days ago when I walked passed him playing with his treat ball! I'm scared now, because I don't want it to get worse. If I walk into...

    How do you store your dog's food?

    I used to just keep it in the garage, but then I realized since it's so hot and humid out, that DEFINATELY is not the best place for it, so today I am going to buy either one of the Blitz or Vittles food storage bins, so I can keep it inside without Foster eating it out of the bag lol. How do...

    An Aggressive Foster

    Foster is a dog-aggressive dog. (Out of fear I'm pretty sure, and especially if he is on his leash, when he's not, and the other dogs aren't aggressive, he is perfectly fine, for ex. he plays with two rottweilers at churchill park [if they happen to be there at the same time] very well without...

    Tennis Balls!

    I was just playing some energy-burning, in-the-house, tennis-ball-throwing-down-the-hall with Foster, and I realized I was using very good tennis balls. (the $10 for 3 type) I just happened to have a lot of used penn and wilson balls left over from tennis and I just use those, I really like the...

    Remembering the days of my first puppy...

    No matter how long I own my dog, I will always remember his puppy days. The joy of actually being able to have my own dog, and train it myself, take care of it myself, and love it unconditionally was overwhelming for me. I had wanted a dog for 3 years, and my parents always said no. But when I...

    Foster is crazy!

    I've started doing some "fungility" with Foster at home, I don't think anytime in the near future he will actually be competing, but for fun we have one of those really cheap aglity starter kits but hey, it gets the job done! He's doing pretty well, but he is TOO food motivated. When I try to...

So it's july now and I've had a job for 2 months, so I have the money now. The...

    Air Travel and Dogs

    I just got back from BC, we flew of course, and when we were waiting for the plane to come in so we could board I watched another plane being unloaded. I saw 3 dog crates with dogs in them, and that made me wonder, wouldn't the pressure freak them out? wouldn't they get really cold in the cargo...

    Just a question

    If I were to start making my dog homemade food that I found a GREAT recipe for, how do I know how much to feed him? He is 42 pounds, and the recipe doesn't give a guideline as to how much to feed. If anybody knows or has any guidelines for me any input would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    The Pond Mishap

    When Foster was about 5 months old he really hated water. Me, my mom and the pup were over at my aunt and uncle's house and they have a pond that is about 3 feet deep. I just let Fozzie run around in the backyard because it was all fenced in and everything, and didn't think anything of it. There...
