Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Tue May 21, '13 4:04am PST  Thanks I know they're going to love it up there with more space and room to actually run and play. Rocky is going to love the fireplace lol. It's just the change that's making me nervous along with the confusion of packing, moving, and unpacking everything. I may be more stressed then they will be lol. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 4:39pm PST  She made it through her surgery well and is back home. She's feeling pretty good and the roughest thing is keeping her calm. She keeps wanting to jump up on the couch and stuff. It makes me cringe every time I don't get to her first. Hopefully we can keep her under control long enough for her to heal without hurting herself. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > moving-how to make the transition smoother

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Sat May 18, '13 4:26am PST  Hi all! After about 9 years of living in a tiny little house in the city with almost no yard, we are moving! Our new house is up the mountain on 1.3 acres bordering many many acres of woods and state game lands. All of my fur kin have always lived here. How do I make this change less stressful for them? Sparkles is strange and fearful of new places. Dreamy and Rocky should be ok, just a bit confused. I do worry a little that Dreamy may mark the new territory. And Monro (the cat), I have no idea how he'll react. We do not have access to the area right now as the current owners do still live there so taking the dogs up there to "visit" is out of the question. Any advice? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Hernia?

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Sat May 18, '13 4:13am PST  Well, the vet says that is an umbilical hernia and needs to be removed. He was very surprised that it didn't show up until recently and that she's already been spayed and everything. She goes in Monday morning for surgery. Hopefully all goes smoothly. We're moving in three weeks. I'd like for her to be healed up and healthy before we get the big yard to run and play in lol. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Hernia?

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 5:44pm PST  I set up an appointment for tomorrow. That'd be nice if it's just scar tissue but it wasn't there before the other day and I can massage it back inside. I'll let you know what they tell me tomorrow. Fingers crossed for either a simple explanation or a quick easy fix. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 3:45am PST  I just noticed last night a small bump on Sparkles belly right where her spray was. It's not large and can be easy massaged back in. Does this sound like a hernia to you? Anybody have experience with this or know what it costs to have corrected? Or even if it needs to be corrected?

Food & Nutrition > Good grain free no poultry food?

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Sat Apr 6, '13 4:36am PST  Sparkles has poultry, egg and grain allergies also. We are on a rotation between nature's variety instinct salmon meal formula and wellness core ocean. Both are excellent, grain free foods and not as expensive as Orijen (though I would feed that if we could). Her allergy issues have really subsided though she still gets an occasional ear infection which I blame on seasonal allergies. She no longer scratches her face like she used to our bites at her paws like before. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Grain free and hungry all the time

Dreamy Queen of my- castle.     Barked: Sat Apr 6, '13 4:24am PST  I like adding pumpkin to their food every now and then for a little extra and it seems to satisfy them. And They Love It. Just take an ice cube tray and full it with canned pumpkin and put it in the freezer. Then you'll Have perfect sized Little chives To pop out and put in their dishes. All my pups are on nature's variety instinct also. When we first switched, they seemed hungry too and lost weight but it's faded out now. They are more toned now and obviously healthier than ever. Good luck. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Grain-inclusive dog food and yeast infections in ears

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Sat Apr 6, '13 4:13am PST  We had this problem with Sparkles too but it turned out that she's not only allergic to eggs, but grains and all poultry as well. Maybe try switching to a fish based or lamb based and see how that goes. We do a rotation between wellness core ocean and nature's variety instinct salmon. They are pricy but without the grains, you don't have to feed as much of it. Sparkles eats 2 cups a day but she's still a growing girl. Rocky (35lbs) and Dreamy (60lbs) each only eat about 1 cup a day. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dreamy Queen of my- castle.     Barked: Sat Apr 6, '13 3:59am PST  Thanks Mika Rocky has made a full recovery and has also gained some extra energy now since the food change. You can't even tell anything happened to him. You can't see a single scar I'd say all the fur kids are the healthiest they've ever been and I even managed to lose a few pounds too. Hopefully we can keep this up and all keep each other in shape. I need to get back to bikini size before the bikini weather gets here lol my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
