Bowser squeak em if you- got em     Barked: Mon May 13, '13 10:04pm PST  i think we should be more worried about the blatant breeding of unhealthy dogs than using frozen sperm. not suggesting anyone here does this or people who use frozen sperm does this. Just pointing out that if it helps get healthy puppies out of a bitch, im all for it. I am all for healthy breeds. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Tucker I would very- much like the- ball.     Barked: Fri Apr 19, '13 9:01pm PST  i feel your pain. When i brought tucker home from the pound within that week he chewed up a 50 dollar bra, a bottle of nail polish (complete with mess all over floor) and a dollar bill. He pee'd everywhere and ran away twice. hes calmed down now that he has another dog to pal around with. but man, i ready to kill him. i tried a treat ball. Tucker couldn't figure it out and gave up. i tried a kong, but tucker was erm...to simple to figure out that one as well. lol. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > i know someone who wants to breed dogs. dont know what to tell them

Bowser squeak em if you- got em     Barked: Fri Mar 15, '13 7:09pm PST  they dont care about cost, they have money to blow they dont think the puppies will end up in shelters because there purebred. they think its okay because her stud dog is a "good dog" and purebred. I dont forsee anything i say to change there mind. I guess i mainly posted it just to rant. They really think it will all be great. Im pretty sure the female will get knocked up by the dog down the street since the dogs are allways loose. or they will get hit by a car. The last dog they bred was a mutt and i guess they think it was fun to have the puppies. Even though one was run over, the mother got run over, the stud dog pee'd all over everything, and god only knows what happend to the other puppies. In my state there is no law about breeding. they dont live in the city so nothings illegal. Its pretty hopeless and it makes me sad. They really just dont care and dont think there is anything wrong with it. This is normal around here, there are so many ads for puppies. im hoping to try to talk them into spaying the puppies before adoption but i doubt that will happen. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > Hoping to adopt a wolfdog

Bowser squeak em if you- got em     Barked: Fri Mar 15, '13 11:35am PST  wolves are not pets. I dont think you understand that it would be a terrible idea. even low content wolf-dogs. my neighbor had one and it howled all night and ran away 24/7. it had zero interest in being a family member and it eventually ran off for good one day. adopt a shelter dog instead. there is a reason we have worked hard to tame wolves and make them into dogs. wolves make terrible pets. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > i know someone who wants to breed dogs. dont know what to tell them

Bowser squeak em if you- got em     Barked: Fri Mar 15, '13 11:19am PST  What do you say to someone who is planning on being a backyard breeder? they live in la la land where the puppies will find great homes and everything will be sunshine and flowers. this person knows nothing about breeding. the dogs came from backyard breeders themselves.I wish they wouldnt do this because it goes back everything ive worked for. there are way to many shelter dogs in this area. but they assume "purebreds" will never be abused or turn up in a shelter and dont seem to care at all. its so frustrating. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Tucker I would very- much like the- ball.     Barked: Thu Oct 18, '12 10:03pm PST  I have finally found Tuckers solution to his problem and that it another dog. I had my mom watch him for a while at her place with our other dog to see if Tuckers nervousness would resolve. I think it has helped a ton. Our other dog is cool and calm, and by example, has taught Tucker to be too. He dosnt pee anymore but still will run away. He and the other dog play 24/7. I decided to let him stay there because its better for everyone. My mom recently lost her oldest dog, and the younger dog was depressed from being alone. Now both dogs are happy and doing better. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Vet won't sell Rx food without exam for healthy pet

Bowser squeak em if you- got em     Barked: Sat Aug 11, '12 5:45am PST  BTW, there is a "Catster" board you can vist, i would be happy to explain more on feline diet. You might get less of a cold reception there. I think charging someone an exam fee then selling them crap RX food is wrong. This is not saying that exams are wrong. Ideally pets should see a vet once a year. but times are tough and i understand that. Ive been raked over the coals too by vets because i wanted "the best" for my pets. I was a sucker. I educated myself and found a great vet who i vist with my pets once a year or when they are sick, nd get treatment they need. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Vet won't sell Rx food without exam for healthy pet

Bowser squeak em if you- got em     Barked: Sat Aug 11, '12 5:37am PST  personally, i think RX foods are garbage and a waste of money. They do no real testing and there is no substantial data supporting the claims these "diets" make. Vets make a tidy profit of the food and they buy into the propaganda Hills tells them (when i was in vet tech school, all of our nutrition books were written by Hills Science Diet) they teach vet students that this "RX" food is without question "the best" for pets without any explanation as to why. Having said that, health exams are important for all pets. You should gets those. Rabies shots are required by law, but i dont think vets should push them on people who dont want them. Most illnesses that plague cats can be fixed by simply feeding a low carb, hi animal protein diet canned food. I am happy to give anyone more info on this in a PM since this is a dog board. but a low carb high protein diet dosn't have to be expensive. If your pet is fat, RX food most likly will NOT help. I fed my pet a diet food and all the fiber almost killed her by blocking her colon. Ditch the RX food and find a vet who dosn't push that crap. RX food is just another money maker for the pet food company my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > dealing with expectations.

Tucker I would very- much like the- ball.     Barked: Sat Aug 11, '12 12:23am PST  A belly band is a great idea. We have really done everything we can about the peeing, so i think a belly band will at least save my house from smelling like urine. Hes gotten a lot better about being scared of everything. I was just really having a bad day...week..MONTH with him. Im ashamed to admit i even almost took him back to the pound...well, idk. i thought about it, but i never made any real attempt to put that plan in motion. It can be a bit unnerving when hes constantly pacing from room to room like im going to leave him forever, but acts like a total moron when hes outside and wont stay near me. I really love taking my dogs off leash to the parks and to the lake nd we arn't able to do that. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Tucker I would very- much like the- ball.     Barked: Tue Aug 7, '12 1:43pm PST  ps: Tucker is about 1 and a half. The pound said he was 2-3 years old, but i think he was younger. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
