Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Fri Jun 14, '13 7:38pm PST  I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope that everything works out okay. I would think it's a good sign that they're letting you keep Callie in your own yard. I've only witnessed one dog bite and animal control let them keep their dog at home for the 10 day quarantine. That dog ultimately did not get taken away nor put to sleep. So hopefully all will be well. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Thu Jun 6, '13 7:25pm PST  You shouldn't get a PUG if: - you value your privacy - you don't want a dog at your heels every time you move - you don't want a dog that sleeps at least 12 hours a day, 18-20 hours some days - you don't want a dog that treats you as if you're his whole world - you don't want to find his fur EVERYWHERE - you can't stand being stared at while you eat - you don't want a dog that steals your seat and hogs your covers - you want a swimming partner - you want a jogging partner - you want to exercise your dog outdoors on warm days - you want a serious dog - you want a sure-footed, graceful, or dainty dog - you want a dog that doesn't mind normal grooming (ears, nails, brushing, etc) - if constant snoring, snorting, snuffling, huffing, puffing, sighing, coughing, sneezing, panting, or lip-smacking bothers you (I sound like a NyQuil commercial) my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Puppy Place > Outside Distractions - Pooping Inside

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Sun Jun 2, '13 12:03am PST  Walking him around a little bit should help with that. It'll be harder for him to get distracted if he's moving and I've always found a brisk walk brings out the poop in my dogs. Capone can poop in our yard before we go on a walk, but I still have to bring baggies because after a few minutes of walking he'll inevitably go again. And when I let him out in our fenced in back yard to go, he always trots for a good distance around the yard before going. If you feel like your pup should have to poop but he didn't and you bring him back in, I'd keep him on leash and tethered to you so at the first sign that he's looking for a place to go you can bring him right back out. Good luck! my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Flexi-lead rant

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Thu May 9, '13 11:53am PST  Wow, that is ridiculous and very dangerous for those dogs! I used to use a Flexi for Capone but I always kept it short when we were walking down the sidewalk. Then when we got to a grassy area, I could let it out for him to explore a bit and reel him back in when it was time to move on. I cannot even imagine doing some of the things you all are describing. I would be terrified for my dog's safety. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > What monthly preventives do you use...? Heartgard, flea and tick...anything else..?

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Mon May 6, '13 6:28pm PST  I use Heartgard all year long because I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to that. But I don't use any flea or tick preventatives. Capone doesn't spend a ton of time outdoors so we've never had much of an issue. I use flea treatments only when needed and the few ticks I've found on him, I've just removed immediately. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Mon May 6, '13 7:57am PST  Seriously?! What is wrong with those people? Thank goodness she has a great home now with you. She's still young. Hopefully with a lot of love and affection, she'll realize she doesn't have to be afraid anymore. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > 4Health Dog Food Grain-free

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Mon May 6, '13 7:31am PST  I started Capone on 4Health just about 2 months ago and I've been really pleased with it. I compared all the foods that I could find locally in my price range on dogfoodadvisor.com and 4Health was the best that I could afford at 4 stars so I decided to try it. So far I'm not regretting that decision at all. Capone has problems with ear infections and allergies. Since putting him on 4Health his ears have cleared up tremendously. His allergies appeared to get better at first but the past few weeks they've been pretty bad. But some, if not all, of that is seasonal. I've got him on the regular salmon and potato formula right now but I plan on switching varieties until I find one that works best for him. I might go with the grain free fish option next. I haven't decided. But I like that they have plenty of variety to choose from. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Try the Dog Personality Test

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Fri May 3, '13 7:07pm PST  Capone got a red flag for Energy, which I guess is because he's low energy. But what do you expect from a 12 year old pug. He only got the red flag in the "all dogs" category, not dogs of the same breed. So that makes sense. He also got red flags for "Grooming Self" and "Grooming Others". I am assuming that's because I put that he sometimes licks himself or me excessively. He licks his own paws because of allergies and that's a constant work in progress. But when I stop him from licking himself, he redirects to my feet and legs sometimes which I think is just a licking obsession. And I do allow it because it doesn't bother me. So no real surprises for me. Overall, Capone scored very well. That was fun! Thanks for posting it. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Puppy Place > Help! Name for a male papillon puppy?

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Thu May 2, '13 8:29pm PST  Out of your list, my favorites are Oliver, Finnegan and Theodore along with their associated nicknames. As an alternative to Finn I also like Flynn. If you currently have a dog named Jake, I personally wouldn't use Jace or Jax for the new puppy just because that could get confusing since they sound similar. Congrats on the upcoming puppy and have fun choosing a name! my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Capone Noms for the- pug...     Barked: Thu May 2, '13 7:31am PST  When we bought our first house, I was specifically looking for carpet for Capone but it was so hard to find since the trend was hardwood. I finally found a place that was partially carpeted (just the living room) and met my other requirements. I've found that Capone only lays on the carpeted area or on rugs that I placed in the other rooms. I put down rugs next to the bed for him to use as landing/launching pads and as he got older I also purchased some stairs to help him access the furniture. The problem with the pet steps on hardwood is that they slide. You have to put rubber or something sticky under them or brace them against multiple pieces of furniture. Same with small rugs or runners, you'll want the sticky rubber mats under them to keep them in place. When Capone tears through the house while playing he does sometimes slip on the hardwood. He's never hurt himself doing it, but he doesn't have knee or joint problems like your two. So I second the suggestion of carpet runners for you along any path that they're likely to run through the apartment. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]
