I've got one of those. I just call her a "conversational mutt". I've had many conversations regarding what her mixed breeds she is and very few agree on many things. She does have kind of that pitbull smile, so who knows. LOL. Maybe an extremely hairy one.

I kind of felt like we were being watched. So they were her eyes all along peeking in at us through the blinds. Stalker.

Well just when I think my self esteem is right up there you go and blow my head right up. LOL. We still laugh at her when we think of how everybody in the neighborhood fed this girl and she always ended up at our house. They started bringing her food right to our porch right before we...

Awwww, $nack loves you. I had one of those that I tried and tried and tried to completely ignore. We just couldn't bring in another one at that time. The she started filling out and looking like she had a balloon inflating in her belly. Poor thing was already an amaciated kitty. Others...

I know well the struggle you went through. Ashten is well again and thankful for what you've done for him.

I am so thankful that I've had the privilege of unpacking my dogs. The dog that has shown me love for over 13 1/2 years had probably the most to unpack and I could never repay what I have gained from her being in my life. As much as I'm greatful to have all of them and had the chance to love...

I'm so sorry. Hold on tight to Sam and let him comfort you. Losing a pet is extremely hard, sometimes even just hearing about others losses I feel this tightening burn in my throat and my whole body aches with the feelings of loss. I'm mourning the loss of my Cleo in January and trying to...

I agree that the great risk of losing my pets far outweighs the miniscule risk of my pets developing a tumor. My pup is chipped and I'll be getting my senior chipped at her next appt. I've never worried about losing her because she doesn't leave my side ever BUT she is developing some symptoms...

Has she had bowel movements? This happened with Jordan and the quick vet visit ruled a little belly irritation but did not find anything serious, to watch him and call the next day. The next day I was going to bring him into the emergency vets and he came bounding down the stairs, ate...

That is the good part of failing. Failure isn't always a bad thing when you can look at the reasons and fix them. As far as the stupid handling by the owner, I swear sometimes I'm my dogs worst character flaw. My dogs are perfect, I need loads more work. Matthew--Dogs feed off of us...

Awww, she is precious. You'll enjoy her so much.

Kim, you just have an extraordinary dog. Really, I've been tempted to attempt it when Jordan is older just to see how well we've done at socializing and training and see what we need to work on more. From what I understand a well rounded dog with good temperment would naturally pass the...

No problem. She's my baby girl and though she's never been easy I use her for an example of how much you get in return when you give your all to your dog. She's an angel with even very small children but I don't trust her at all with adults. If you have any questions personally I'd be glad to...

I'm sorry, just getting on really to look through the post again. Summer is 13 years old.

Really sad they don't have much screening. I think they all deserve to go to the best homes, not the first one with $90. Hopefully he'll luck out and get to a good home where he'll never end up back there again.

First I would call your vet and ask them if they've received any problems or complaints from your local animal control spay/neuter clinic. Fortunately in our area both the local HS and the animal control have wonderful facilities and I'd trust them with my animals. Unfortunately not all of...

Wow, what a looker. He'll have an awesome home in no time. Hopefully they do great screening there.

I think it comes to a point that that is about all we're doing while at home. Every situation (aside from sleep) is a training session. Like mentioned above NILIF just kind of works out that way. Jordan does about 2-3 10 minute sessions a day except for the weekends when we have most of the...

Summer has on-leash issues and we've always been able to work through it. It is possible. I've had luck with walking her with our other dogs where she is able to "follow their lead" in socializing with other dogs on the street. After Cleo died we didn't have another dog to walk her with and we...

Very sad story and it looks as though the dog didn't have a very good life judging by the pictures. He's outside tethered up while the kids are inside in a nice, cozy house with AC. If he was a family pet then why was he chained to a tree that says Beware of Dog. I know that with my...
