Just got in for the night to our new digs and this has been worrying me since Carbon had a very revolting poo this afternoon... (you've been warned) ...it had large white 1 inch or so long plump worms in it! :puke: They were definitely dead and were not the long thin worms or 'bits of...

Today was Carbon's shoe-horned in visit with a new vet who has the rep for being Leishmaniosis-friendly. It was clear why they aren't accepting new patients - the tiny waiting room was stuffed to the rafters and my 7:30am appointment ended up being an 8:45 appointment by the time we got in, but...

Today I put Carbon's blue 'in training' cape on for the first time with all his patches sewn in place. He looked so smart and so proud of himself. I'm very proud of how far he's come. In many ways, though he is still a foster, he now does a lot of service dog tasks that Brogan did for me...

In addition to some other weird stuff already mentioned, Carbon's last vet visit also included selling me medicinal shampoo with the orders to bathe him once a week using it. While I regularly bathed Brogan, many here have said for Labs it is not OK at all to bathe them at all, let alone once a...

...thank you @snowbunny , for working your magic again! Not sure when you have time while running a business, building a house, warding off amorous Ginny and - let's not forget - investigating the dreaded chupacabra. You are superwoman! :clap:

I feed twice a day, once pretty much as soon as I get up and then a second time in the evening. Carbon has become a total pain in the posterior for both of his meals, but especially dinner. No matter how much exercise he's had, he starts trying to get me to feed him his dinner earlier and...

Carbon is a very good lead walker in general but he gets in moods where he wants to stop and smell everything. His targets are fairly predictable (poles, tree trunks, corners, doorways) but also ubiquitous. If I know for sure he's going to go for something (a tree trunk), I use 'don't touch'...

OK, this is a little ick and a little strange, but a friend recently noticed that Carbon smells a bit 'cheesy'. Personally I think he smells lovely, but when I really stuck my nose in to see if what she was saying had any merit, I noticed that while all his other fur feels clean and smells...

Hi all, I'm looking for a simple video or other type of tutorial to teach a retrieve. I know there are a ton of videos out there on YouTube, but does anyone have any recommendations? Carbon wants to chase things and pick them up, but then he gets the zoomies and deposits the item usually in...

Señor Carboncito finally gets his own thread! He’s been telling me that I’ve missed out on sharing way too many adventures over the past few months, so here’s a place for stories old and new. Plus asking for training advice, sharing his accomplishments (and maybe a frustration or two). There may...

Inspired by @edzbird 's post on her train trip and pub visit with Coco, I was wondering what advice any of you have for preparing a dog for train travel as one of my goals with Carbon this summer - in fact it will be a sort of summer school 'graduation test' - is to take him on the train to...
