Duke THE GREAT WHITE- HYPE!     Barked: Tue May 7, '13 2:44pm PST  I was afraid of the same thing - ingesting hairspray, glitter and even the non-toxic glue. I think it's a complete waste of money too and I laughed at the designer's comment as well. I don't need my dog to be fashion forward - just happy and healthy. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > Question about adopting.

Member Since 06/06/2005     Barked: Sun Apr 21, '13 5:21pm PST  I would like to adopt a dog through a rescue. Can someone please tell me what to expect as far as the adoption process goes; types of questions that are asked, home visits and what they look for during the visits and anything else that you may think of? I currently rent an apartment with my sister in a multi-family house and it does say in our lease that we are allowed to have a dog. (Unfortunately, I misplaced my lease where it does state that.) We owned a dog previously when we moved into this apartment and unfortunately had to put her to sleep last year due to cancer. We are now just starting to think about another dog and don't know if they will check with our landlords or not. Our landlords are kind of flaky to say the least (they can't tell me and my sister apart and we don't even look alike and sometimes they don't even remember our names). They screen their calls and I don't know if they would even be bothered or not to answer their calls/return their calls. We would just hate it if their flakiness would jeopardize our chances with the adoption. We do have plenty of other references we can provide from our family, friends, co-workers and our vet. I don't know if that would be sufficient enough or not. On another note, while there is a fenced in yard, we don't have use of the yard. With my previous dog, both me and my sister walked her through the neighborhood. There's an elementary school right across the street from us and when school is not in session, we would take her there and let her run off leash since it's all fenced in. We also used to take her to fenced in dog parks as well. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! my posts [notify]

Duke THE GREAT WHITE- HYPE!     Barked: Fri Jul 13, '12 1:05am PST  I hope this is the right place to put this, if not, please feel free to move this post. All of a sudden I am getting group messages coming to my email address. I always had the group message settings set to check my messages on the group page and I didn't change it but I am still getting messages sent to my email address. This all started yesterday. I wrote to Dogster HQ but have not heard anything back. Anyone else having this problem? It's not just one group but several groups this is happening with. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Duke THE GREAT WHITE- HYPE!     Barked: Tue Jul 10, '12 8:49am PST  NH and VT. My mom lives in NH so we visit every summer. The bank my mom goes to is very dog friendly. They allow dogs in the bank (not just SDs either). They even have dog treats on hand. We took Duke inside once except he "watered" the potted plant. The tellers just thought it was funny thank goodness. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Small Dogs > Wld a Yorkie be ok with a Saint Bernard?

Duchess- 7/21/03-1/14- /12 Love U Sleeping Beauty- needs her beauty- sleep!     Barked: Mon May 14, '12 9:08pm PST  The real question is would a Saint Bernard be ok with a Yorkie? Duchess used to play with the neighbor's dogs - a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Yorkie. The Yorkie used to play a little aggresively, the Spaniel was pretty mellow. Duchess was such a gentle dog that she used to let the Yorkie do whatever she wanted. Duchess was the same way with our cat. The cat would jump all over Duchess while she would try to nap and again Duchess didn't do anything. If Saints are trained properly, they truly are gentle giants. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Get Well Soon > Cancer is the pits!

Duchess- 7/21/03-1/14- /12 Love U Sleeping Beauty- needs her beauty- sleep!     Barked: Mon Apr 16, '12 6:58am PST  Everything you described is exactly how it was for Duchess in the end. Except she wasn't blind, although one of her eyes had completely closed up on its own due to the brain tumor pushing down on it. She had no use of that eye obviously when it completely closed. But Duchess was very confused, bumping into walls and falling down. In the end, she couldn't stand or walk without us helping her. I knew it was time for her. Talk with your vet. Get his input. It was extremely hard for me to make this decision as it is for everyone. I just couldn't stand to see her go through this any longer. It wasn't fair to her. I'm praying for you and Baxter. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dogster Lifestyle, News & Entertainment > Do you believe in Dog/Pet Psychics??

Duchess- 7/21/03-1/14- /12 Love U Sleeping Beauty- needs her beauty- sleep!     Barked: Mon Jan 30, '12 1:47pm PST  Duchess just passed recently and the grief has been killing me. My co-worker had lost her dog over the summer and contacted an animal psychic and said she was great and pretty accurate with the kinds of things she was telling her. She communicates with all animals both dead and alive and I believe she also communicates with people who have passed too but her specialty is animals. I am considering checking more into this however it is quite expensive and I like to do my own research on the psychic first. I do believe in this but I also know that there are a lot of phonies out there too. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Duchess- 7/21/03-1/14- /12 Love U Sleeping Beauty- needs her beauty- sleep!     Barked: Mon Jan 23, '12 7:23am PST  I have to agree with you. I just lost my sweet Duchess and the pain is so great that the kind, comforting words of others speaking so highly of Duchess even though they never physically met her, is truly touching to me and my family. Even though this is a very difficult thing for anyone to have to go through, just knowing that others know how you feel and can offer some words of comfort make difficult days a little less difficult. I am truly sorry for your loss. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
