What are your favorites? I'm looking to start sharing more quality info on basic dog behavior, body language, and training through my work's Facebook. I'm making some of my own graphics but if you guys have any favorite resources I can follow and share, please list them! Right now all I've...

And like... one of Macky. I swear she's always there, she just prefers to sit next to me so I never get a decent picture of her. Anyway, I picked up a new P&S camera off of CL and it's vast improvement over my ancient Canon. So be prepared for more pictures from now on! (I think most of...

Ok... I need new bras like whoa. LIKE WHOA. I cannot get by with cheap ones, I am a 36D and nothing cheapy fits well or is flattering, ever. I normally drop about $45/per bra at Victoria's Secret. I'm wondering if anybody here has a tip on perhaps an online source with good quality bras for...

How do you feel about health guarantees when purchasing a puppy from a breeder? Are they a prerequisite? A minor consideration? Not a consideration at all? I’ve been mulling this over for a while now. For me personally, it doesn’t factor in at all anymore. It used to; I used to definitely...

So, as I'm sure you all know, it's pretty common at dog shows and such to leave dogs securely crated in vans and SUVs with the windows down and the hatch open. Because I've now got 3, count 'em, 3 dogs that I'm actively training, sometimes all at once or back to back, it's not practical for me...

Who's done it? How did you do it? Obviously I have a basic game plan of CC/DS, starting with the dremel off, etc, but I'm curious if anybody has any insight into the details or any tips?

Ok, so one of my coworkers, who was a vet tech for many years and is generally pretty knowledgable, has huge hang ups about intact dogs. Which is sad, but her problem, not everybody else's. However, I just found out that she told another coworker her pit bull needed to be neutered (he's a...

Blossom, Blossom, Blossom... :lol-sign: We're working through a number of minor issues that I suspect originate from her past, where her drive wasn't exactly, uh, appreciated, I'm sure. :p Luckily it hasn't put a damper on her enthusiasm but she does have some inconvenient habits. I feel...

No, nothing happening LOL. Just curious to learn more about breeding, whelping, and rearing, and figured you guys would have some good info. Anything from choosing the stud to placing puppies can go here! Books, links, videos... put them here! Of if you'd just like to type out some thoughts and...

I'm sitting here with Blossom's ILP form totally filled out except for the name! :o I don't know what to call her! She obviously has no kennel name, she's from Dumbass BYB Kennels, inc. :rofl1: I don't think the AKC will accept that... Aleron gave me the idea to use "Blossom" the way you...

"o hai... I stay foreverz?" "k i stay foreverz. Plz throw ball nao." I know you're all... very, VERY shocked at this turn of events. :o What can I say, you have to at least tell yourself you're fostering for a while, right? Thanks so much to everybody who helped get to her to me, it...

So which one of you is taking Blossom??? :D She's like... perfect. Wild and crazy when you want her to be, but settles down and will cuddle like a pro. Great food drive and VERY high toy drive. Crate trained and housebroken (asks to go out!). Gets along with dogs of both sexes, and even small...

She's here! She got here Saturday afternoon, all the way from around Cleveland, OH to Chicago, thanks in no small part to some of you guys. :) She's doing great! She's just an awesome dog who charms everybody she befriends. And she'll befriend anybody who gives her a little time and some...

Hey guys... so, you all know Aleron's rescue Mal Roust? He was from a litter of 8, and one of his sisters recently ended up in the county pound. :( Luckily Aleron spotted her, and after much shuffling and pulling a few strings, managed to get her pulled from the pound today! Hooray! And... I'm...

Ok, here it is, I finally did it, so you all better show up now! :rofl1: I'll start! I've got Mackenzy, 7 yrs old. She has her CD and RA, and one leg of her CDX. We're holding off on further trialing to get some foundation issues straightened out. And then there's the Keeva, she's a baby...

Finally, some pictures of the evil short dog and her sidekicks. For reference, here is Ollie the day my parents picked him up. And here's from a few weeks ago: He's a total doofus, enthusiastic about everything, typical dumb and loving boy! Anyway... Keeva taking a break from...

/Rex pics. You guys won't believe what he looks like now. For reference: How he looked when I found him: Sad, scarred up face: And now, after 6 months of good food (his family feeds him Fromm! Couldn't ask for anything better!) and solid adoration from his new family, here he is...

Man... this is a such a weird, two-sided post to make. *sigh* By fait and happenstance, both will be staying with me within the coming weeks, one short term, and one more long term. Ketchup: His name is now Rex. His family (a couple in their late 50's, with adult children and one small...

Ok, so here's the deal. We have these neighbors on one side that had a history of hostility (undeserved) towards our landlords, who used to live where I live now. I can explain if you want to hear it, but just rest assured that their hostility is completely ridiculous and undeserved. Fast...

I just... I have PMS and I just want Macky to come home, and I CANNOT stop crying. And I know that's freaking stupid because somebody somewhere had a dog die today, and my dog is alive and perky at that, but I'm just worried sick and I cannot calm down. I know it's hormones and stress, I know it...
