Jethro Design jewelry,- not dogs!!!     Barked: Sun May 19, '13 5:50am PST  I went to a nearby city to get new glasses yesterday. They PROMISED they could do the exam and then make them while I waited, IF I picked the right frames. After waiting FOREVER, they said they can't make trifocals in house. Grrrr. they PROMISED they could over the phone, and knew I had trifocals. Anyway, took the "second" kid, Julia, with me to find shoes for her sister's wedding. She is NOT one you can order them online for!!! We went to TWO huge malls and she still didn't find any she liked. I am BEAT!!! Hope everyone has a great Sunday! Can't wait for the photos, Turner!! Posting as Jethro cuz I love his new photo with Quincy! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Jethro Design jewelry,- not dogs!!!     Barked: Sun May 5, '13 5:54am PST  Sadly, with a breed like a pug, you are usually dealing with a skeletal issue causing the back problems, not a muscle issue. Has she been xrayed to rule out IVDD or transitional vertebrae??? I would probably start there and see what you are dealing with. With our Frenchies we have to deal with prevention on a constant basis for those with back issues. No jumping on and off furniture, basically teaching them four on the floor at all times and using steps or ramps to get on and off things like the bed and the couch. It is also important to keep a close watch on their weight... leaner is much more healthy for those sensitive backs. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Potty Training Advice?

Jethro Design jewelry,- not dogs!!!     Barked: Fri May 3, '13 4:33pm PST  I'm with the others... Jethro just turned 6 months and there is no way, no how I would leave him uncrated even if I just ran out to the mailbox at the end of the driveway. My feeling is that he is still a baby and is still eating for a growing baby. As a result, he has to go way more often than an adult dog who is done growing and maybe has to poop once or twice a day. The problem is that every time you leave the puppy loose and it does go in the house, you are setting him up for failure and it is going to take that much longer for him to finally get it. Basically, he is learning/has learned that it's okay to go inside IF you aren't home...not something I want my puppy to learn! I MUCH prefer to use my crate MORE than necessary and have a dog who IS completely reliable in the house from maturity until old age...that is a MUCH longer period of time than those short months he is a baby and needs a crate. When he is 8 months old and I err on the side of caution and pop him in his crate I haven't hurt him or, worse yet, messed up his lifelong house training, BUT, if I leave him loose and he poops or pees, then I HAVE seriously messed with his housetraining and pretty much need to back up and start again. I'd rather have a dog in his crate a few months longer than he needs to be than to have to shampoo my rugs every night! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Jethro Design jewelry,- not dogs!!!     Barked: Sun Apr 14, '13 3:41pm PST  AND... genetics are SOOO amazing. My Lukie, Jethro's grandfather, was the only Frenchie I have EVER known who would nurse on fuzzy blankets just like a cat, kneading his front feet the whole time. Would you believe Jethro, who never even met his grampy, does the same, exact thing whenever he starts to settle down and take a nap. CUTE! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Jethro Design jewelry,- not dogs!!!     Barked: Sat Mar 30, '13 8:47am PST  I can with both my iPad AND my iPhone... strange. Well, I just took down Jethro's baby pen. He is now pronounced "grown up" and will be sleeping in a crate from now on until he gets the "sleep when we are in the water bed, not chew everything in sight!!!" Right now he is outside with EVERYONE, including Quincy, who I swear, is headed for 100 lbs. I want my little labs back!!!! Fortunately, he is very gentle, both with Jethro AND with me!!! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Jethro Design jewelry,- not dogs!!!     Barked: Sun Mar 24, '13 6:11pm PST  Thor...I thought they were Horwitzers, but i admit, I don't know BIG guns, only personal sized ones, BOL! They were using the shells for door stops and they were HUGE, too!!! Those guns can be pulled by a truck or something, and had a big, circular disk at the front, with the gun behind it. I guess that is to rotate it?? The name Thor makes more sense after your explanation of the picture!!! We thought Plan B was a good name, too!!! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
