@3:37 PM. August 10, 2010 Velvet, our wonderful fur-baby of five years, was buried in the back yard. I feel like my heart is breaking in two. We do not know what happened, but when I found her it was already too late. All a vet would be able to do is tell us what happened. We don't even have...

Earlier this week I emailed several shelters in my area offering to volunteer. I was excited, eager to do something in this field for quite a while. I've been applying as a volunteer for several years. At long last, I have a response! Today is the new Volunteer Orientation and I'll be leaving...

Not sure if everyone has heard about this yet. Vetsulin is recalling some of their product because they were having issues with the consistency of it. So if you use Vetsulin or know somebody that does let them know about the recall so they can talk to their vet. Not all vets have switched...

Both of the girls know more tricks than the boys. I have a hard time training our boys but they do know sit, lay down, and are getting better with stay. The girls know a large series of commands. Velvet knows more than Dawn, naturally, but Dawn knows neater tricks. Such as "whisper". I...

I told a friend I was looking for a food that was healthier for my dogs than Purina. She suggested Iams, Eukanuba, Royal Canin, and something else. None of those foods appeal to me. Royal Canin does a little, but the others just... don't. She's telling me dogs need corn. And that...

I switched to a martingale style collar recently. I love that it doesn't choke the dog when put on properly, but still prevents them from slipping free. This means I'll never have to worry about being on a walk and having them slip out of their collar right into traffic. :eek: So what kind of...

This is my dream. All typed up. Just read it and you'll see why I'm so shaken up by it. Especially since my dogs ARE my children, in my opinion. Also know that I'm not this brave in reality. I'd probably run screaming. Oh, and, this is somewhat mature with blood and stuff. :[ If this is...

I found a lump on Dawn's shoulder just now. It's a hard lump and seems to be attached to the skin. I'm hoping it's just a casual lump or bump from whatever and will go away. I'm gonna be keeping track of it as time goes on. Any tips or suggestions? I already intend to call our vet in a few...

I just got a wild hair to take pics today. Velvet was outside so she missed out on this one. Oh well! Well, here we go. Any notes I add will be UNDER the image. :) Also, HERE is a video of today's playtime. OMNOM foot. :D Dawn likes to clean her paws every now and then...

I've always wanted to get one of our dogs into agility. Either Dawn or Velvet, just for fun. I just don't know where to start! Obvioiusly obedience is a start and something I want to start putting more focus on. The past two years of my life have been rough and I now have a lot of extra training...

Velvet has ALWAYS food surfed. She waits until we leave the room and hones right in. Dawn and Eclipse very rarely do it. Unfortunately she's taught the puppy to do it. Now, Greystoke is an even larger culprit. I left the room yesterday and left our room-mate's son in the room with him and he...

:lol-sign: I'm Angie and I am 24 years old. I tend to have an addiction to ugly fuzzy things that follow me everywhere even when I wish they'd go away. :eek: There are four of them! Velvet, Dawn, Eclipse, and Greystoke. They are all mutts. Velvet (5 years old) is a terrier/chow mix...
