We are in the process of redoing our backyard with a pool and have removed all of the grass. We are creating a space for her to potty in with pea gravel. We figured it's what the doggy daycare uses, it won't die, and it won't need mowing or watering. Any tips on helping her make the...

What does he/she do first? I wake Sophie up, she doesn't wake us up (knock on wood, but I love this fact). When I open her crate door she just spills out onto the floor (literally) and wants a tummy rub. It's the cutest thing. I then let her go potty and she wants back into her crate...

For a dog who normally isn't used to playing in the snow, do I need to take any extra precautions for her? What keeps her feet from freezing? We're going up to Big Bear where the temperature is in the 30's during the day and the teens at night, and are thinking of taking Sophie with us...

It never fails, whenever my dog gets attention from novel people (meaning, anyone who isn't normally there), she pees on the floor. It's gotten so predictable that for the most part, I keep her outside or in her crate whenever someone new comes into the house. It's embarrassing. She'll be...

I'm in southern California and as you have probably heard we have been getting pelted with days-long storms on and off since like October now. A new storm just started today (after a 4 day break from the last one) and will last until Wednesday (today is Thursday). It is hard enough to get...

I have a cockapoo with a very dense poodle-like coat. (Some cockapoos get wavy fur like a cocker spaniel, and some get the curly curly ones - like mine). Anyway, she has been getting some small mats even though we brush her regularly. We've been keeping her hair super short to help...

I'm going crazy here! I have a 10 month old dog on dog food, a 15 year old cat on a low-protein feline diet due to kidney failure, and a 4 month old cat on kitten food. None of them want to eat their own food and they all want to eat each other's food. I even stand there and supervise...

I am wanting to get a new crate to replace the institutional-looking one that I have in my kitchen now. I want to get one of those nicer looking fake-rattan ones (they are really resin). My dog is 10 months old, will be a year old on March 15. She is an American Minature Cockapoo. The...

I live in Southern California in a house that is in close proximity to my neighbors. In between each house is a 5-6 foot fence. Which is fine for Sophie, but my next door neighbor has a larger dog that they just adopted. He's a german shepard/golden mix and he isn't that big, but he's...

If so, just wanted to say hello. :) This is my 2nd Cockapoo - my first I had as a child, got her about 30 years ago. Her name was Boots and she was black and white. My 2nd dog was a white poodle named Sawdust. Sophie is my 3rd dog, and my first dog I've had as an adult. She...

Hi! I have a 5 month old cockapoo named Sophie, and a 14 year old cat named Tabatha. I just found this site in a search for dew claw information, and thought I'd join! I also have two human babies, an 8 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. I live in Southern California.
