New and in need of advice

Nothing the dog can chew on, get into, get hurt on, etc.

 

[nedim]

ok thanks. The application is sssssssssssssssssoooooooooooooooooo long.

 

[Fran27]

I crate mine, until he gets good enough in the house. No matter how much we dog proof it, there is always something he manages to get hold of...

 

[nedim]

I just finished tge application, when I realized it had to be printed and mailed....bummer

 

[Saje]

can you fax it? it will get there faster.

 

[gaddylovesdogs]

where does your dog stay when noones home?

We either let them stay loose, crated, or in a smaller area.

 

[nedim]

can you fax it? it will get there faster.

I'm about to get the printer up.We just moved, so I have to clean the computer room up a bit to mak room for the printer. Dont have a fax machine as of yet...

 

[Saje]

I can fax directly from Word though without printing. If you click file - print there should be a fax option.

 

[nedim]

oh....lol. Didnt know that, oh well I closed out of the document a long time ago. I'll do it later. We're expecting company now.

 

[Rose's Gal]

Well I hope you find "the dog" soon! And that really stinks about Chico.....yeash. Kinda reminds me of our local shelter. I've never tried to adopt from there, but I did try to volenteer there once and they said they'd call to tell us when we could come in but they never did. lol (But later, we were talking to a friend's mom who volenteers there with the cats and she said that they just expect people to show up.) So my mom and I are going to try again once school is out.

Nedim....in the section where they as where you'll keep the dog when on one's home, I think you'd impress them to say that it depends on the age of the dog. Crate for his safety if a baby....free in the house if he's housebroken and not destructive.

 

[nedim]

Good idea bubbatd, thanks. I got some free time today and I read that page, very good info.

 

[bubbatd]

Don't you agree it's a great book ??? I have many, many books, but that's my " Bible "!

 

[nedim]

Lol, I can see why.

 

[Purr]

Ack! I let my two boys stay loose today (because I don't have a crate, and if I lock them in the bathroom, they'll eat the door) and when I came home, they had torn up a foot stool, and there was yellow foam EVERYWHERE. Ah well.....the thing that sucks is, my mom loves that foot stool, so now I have to go up to a craft store with her and buy her more foam and fabric to fix it with. LOL.

 

[nedim]

lol, I'll be sure not to make that mistake

 

[Purr]

Ha ha...good idea, Nedim ! If your dog is like my girl, though, you won't have to worry too much. She "generally" doesn't chew things....LOL. She has been known to eat pens, pencils and markers ....but, she's eleven, and still going!

We had a nice jolly fellow in the store yesterday. He was looking for a dining room table and chairs and he was overjoyed when he looked at the selection on the floor. "His" table and chairs were sitting right in the middle of all the dining room sets. A really lovely glass topped table with fluted edging on the table top and . . . metal table base and chair legs!

He has four bulldogs . . .

Guess what's happened to the wooden legs on his previous dining furniture, lol!

 

[Fran27]

My dog was eating the legs of a small table too... But bitter apple got rid of his chewing habits, and fast! He's never chewed anything bad since then (except paper and the occasional kitchen towel or oven mits that we leave around that is...).

 

[BigDog2191]

Rocky, really doesn't chew much accept my bed!

He's got an akward attachment to biting my bed!

But yeah, he normally just loves his toys.
