    Adopting a rescue...question!

    Hi all! Been a long time since I've posted... I am looking to adopt a rescue, and came across a pit bull that was cross posted from Houston (I am in Seattle). I am nervous about adopting a dog that I haven't met, but she sounds PERFECT. She is 3 years old, and the rescue says she is a total...

    Dogs, beds & babies...

    Hiiiiiii!!! Me again! This time, I'm preggers and trying to think ahead, as I do plan on co-sleeping with the baby. Oakley sleeps in bed with us, and ultimately, space isn't an issue (we have a king), but I'm worried about how Oakley is even going to react to a baby in the first place...

    Itchy itchy Oakley :(

    So as you may have seen, we just moved across the country with Oakley. Since we've been here, he has been super itchy. I've visually checked for fleas, and haven't seen any. He seems to be kinda itchy all over (but mainly is biting at his butt, above his tail, and then scratching his...

    doggy nausea?

    Ok, so I kinda posted about this before, thinking that spreading feedings would help..but I just don't think that is it. He has thrown up here or there just an hour or two after eating. Or will exhibit other nausea signs. I talked to the vet/vet behavioralist & she was not exactly helpful...

    So we saw the Vet Behavioralist...

    I had made the appointment back in March, but she was so backed up that we just finally had it ~ 2 wks ago. $645 later, can't say I'm entirely thrilled...but hoping you guys can help fill in some gaps. Here were the big takeaways: 1) She says he is likely nauseous a lot, which is why he...

    Thinking of giving up Oakley

    I just don't know if I can do it anymore. I feel like the worst owner ever, as you could say I am giving him up for my fiance, but...it isn't that Adam doesn't like him or want him...it is that Oakley is just a different dog when he is around. Same crap as always - 90% of the time, he is...

    Seriously - help with Oakley :/

    This past month has been a bit crazy, so I am guessing this has something to do with it...but it just made a previous problem, that was bearable, completely unbearable. My bf was gone for the past month, I took a week vacation, we were moving boxes in & out of the house, my parents came into...

    photoshop experts?

    Trying to get this picture printed as a gift for my bf...I know it isn't good quality, but oh well...I think it is so cute, haha. Was wondering if someone could doctor it a bit to get rid of the people/at least tone them down in the background? And just make it look any better than it does...

    After getting engaged...did you call everyone?

    Random q spurred by reading someone's wedding page... So for those that have been engaged...did you immediately call everyone & let them know? Or did you take the time to just be happy with one another? I don't think either is right or wrong, but I think (not that I would know)...I'd...

    Do I have any argument/defense? (lawyer help?)

    I had to go to the ER & on top of being treated like absolute crap, I had a CT Scan ordered, which I was against. There is much more to the story than that, but we'll leave it at that. I strongly believe that it was not medically indicated for them to order it, but I was not given much choice...
