    the "bad food list"

    It has been a while since i have been on this board, but i remember (I think) a sticky that had a whole list of bad foods for dogs and why they are bad. every thing from grapes to tomatoes to chocolate. Does anybody know where this list is? Or am i just wrong?

    Training Treats

    I use small peices of bioled chicken. I look for chicken for sale for cheap, and then buy a lot of it and freeze it. when i run out of my supply i boil as much as i can fit in my biggest pot. I then de-bone it, and put it in small containers, freezing all but one. When i get low on the...

    Something in the Innova

    The other day I fed Thor his usual EVO, and when I did I saw something BRIGHT red (think Coke can red) in a peice of Kibble. I picked that peice up and broke it up, and there was something that seemed like a peice of a rubber washer in it. Just a small peice of red rubber. Anyone else seen...

    Mange and adopting....

    NO, it is not bad. I would make sure that it is not sarcoptic mange, though. And if it is, I would take them to the vet and have the vet make sure that it is gone.

    Mange and adopting....

    They will do a skin scrapping test where they scrape the skin, put it under the micro-scope, and look for mites.

    Mange and adopting....

    sarcoptic is the other mange. IT IS BAD!! (it can transfer to humans and is called scabies) I just finished a treatment for demodetic mange with Thor. Started almost 3 months ago. And the vet said that it could flair back up at any time :(

    laser pointer?

    WOW!! I never heard that before. I would say that Thor is almost not strung as opposed to high strung, but I will take that into consideration. thanks

    laser pointer?

    I brought a laser pointer home the other day, and started to mess around with thor with it. He LOVED it. or hated it. Whatever you want to say, he sure did want to eat the dot. Does anyone else play with their dog with one? If so, do the dogs ever get tired of the game?

    (maybe) getting a new pup for a short time

    A lady at my work is looking to temporarly re-home their puppy, a 5 month old 5.6 lb (breed currently unknown to me) puppy. She is asking if I can re-home the dog for anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. I currently have Thor, who weighed in at 44.4 lbs yesterday at the vet...

    New Evo products coming soon

    Giny, Are you using your home computer? A lot of sites are blocked on work sites. hence the reason that i cannot go to the site where the links are too, or see mordy's signature (other than the quigle the terrier mutt link) That may very well be the reason you are experiencing problems

    My poor starving Beagle

    respectfully disagree I have always been taught that with a bigger dog, it is better to feed 2X a day in order to reduce the chances of bloat. I maybe wrong. Anybody back me up or tell me I am wrong?

    Aggression towards 1 kid....

    I wonder if the kid has been taunting him through the fence?? (I did that one time when I was a little kid. ended up in the ER for stitches from one Australian Shepard that finally got the taunter next door)

    Is pointing releated to pointers only?

    Thor *sometimes* points like a pointer would. right leg up, paw bent into his body. Does this generally only happen in pointer breeds, or do many dogs exhibit this? Thanks.

    long retreives

    I had the rope tied onto a 10lb weight, and I threw it too far a time or two. I didnt think that he could pull 10lbs at a dead sprint! :)

    Comments by silly people

    Agreed. My Father-in-law still says that since Thor is a Pit mix he only got the looks and not the temprement. :( I cant get him to grasp the idea that APBT are HUMAN FRIENDLY to a disgusting degree.
