    Sudden fear of loud noises

    We adopted Grace, a Miniature Schnauzer, about 3 years ago. The shelter thought she was about 3 years old. I thought it was great that she had no reaction to thunderstorms as our previous dog was terrified of them. All of a sudden, this year she is afraid of thunder, the noise of fireworks and...

    Grace surprised me!

    Grace is our Minature Schnauzer we adopted about 3 years ago. I had her out for a walk yesterday, on leash, and the neighbor and his Pom were out so I immediately changed our route to be walking away from them. The Pom is a male and very aggressive. He and Grace met before, while on neutral...

    Difference in clippers- Wow!

    I originally purchased the Andis Easy Clip when I first started grooming our MInature Schnauzer, Grace. They were mid price range and did a decent job. Now that I am sure I will be doing the grooming myself I decided to purchase another Andis, at a higher price range. I got the Andis AGC 2...

    Could she have been a Mother?

    We adopted Grace about 2yrs ago & the shelter estimated her age at around 2 yrs old. Every dog we have had prior to her, we had from puppies & they were spay around 6 months of age & they all had a nice tuck to their belly area. Grace has a rounded belly. The Vet is good with her weight - she...

    Is this even possible?

    Just saw a trailer for the latest episode of Doomsday Preppers & they had a couple of what looked like Belgian Malinois & said they had titanium teeth put in their mouth. I am appalled. I didn't even know this was possible.:yikes:

    Dog sulking after grooming

    This is kind of funny actually. Grace, my Miniature Schnauzer, seems to get offended when I have to shave her tush. Obviously, I do it to avoid the dreaded Dingle Berries. I don't think it is my imagination- right now she is ignoring me & avoiding me & I am her favorite person. This usually will...

    Dehydrating Sweet Potatoes- Help

    I purchasesd a Presto dehydrator to dehydrate sweet potatoes for Grace as it is kind of pricey to buy ones made in the USA. Anyway, I slice them about 1/4 inch thick, put them in raw and dry for about 5 to 7 hours depending on the size of the slice. When they are done they are dry but not...

    Nail Manicure Mat

    I was reading the latest issue of Cesar's Way & in it is advertised a manicure mat for dogs called the Beckky Board. You place it in a high traffic area for the dog and it keeps the nails worn down. I checked out the web site & it is interesting to say the least. The smallest size costs $60.00...

    Love these collars.

    I have to use rolled leather collars on Grace our Minature Schnauzer as her coat gets matted easily around flat collars. I found some on Amazon sold by Dogline - Soft Padded Rolled Round Leather Collars and I ordered one. They come in beautiful colors and are as light as air- not stiff like the...

    Cleaning Clipper heads

    Anyone have any tips for cleaning the blades? I have an Andis & it's pretty easy to get the hair out of the 7 & 4 blades with the little cleaning brush but I don't feel like I am getting the 10 blade as clean as it should be. Can the blades be soaked in some kind of cleaning solution? Thanks!

    Sebaceous Cyst

    Our Minature Schnauzer, Grace had a knot on her hip bone. Several days ago it started bleeding a little. I took her to the Vet and was told it is a sebaceous cyst. They shaved the hair around it and emptied it out (yech! Think big pimple). They then gave me an antibiotic, Cephalexin, to give...
