We've got a weekend off soon, and plan to go to Niagara Falls. My teen has only seen it as a small chiild and I've not been since Air Cadets, when I was their age. So I'm trying to find a pet friendly hotel, preferably a large room with two beds, so we can all bunk together and play games at...

Shamas is taking the reumecam about every 2-3 days now. If it weren't for the bottle format (I can't tell how much is in it), and my constant fear of running out and not having it when he needs it...there are other days I might give it to him but Ive held off. I know that as we go into cold...

"Hey, Shamas...Look at this. I found something" "Oh really? Let me see. Oh Mom's brought home Treats again. Let me get that open for you." "Shamas, Shamas.....help me pull the sheet off the couch." "Ok, hang on I'll be right there" "How do I get the stuff in this box? It smells yummy.."...

Trixies been trying really hard to entice shamas to play with her, and he's engaging in the back yard. Wondering if I can get a quick read on his body language and make sure he's not stressed out I think he's OK.. let's of open mouthed panting, checking in and bright eyes. And she disengaged...

Help! I take Trixie out to pee, and she digs the dirt at my feet, chases flies, basically everything BUT pees....then comes inside and wets on my floors. She's 16 1/2 weeks now, and this is fairly new behavior....since it got rainy. She was consistently going outside. I don't use pee pads, as I...

oooh I'm going to muzzle that dog. She's hit the crocapup stage. Hands, legs, furniture, SHOES. The only time she's not chewing is if she's got a pig ear, and those are expensive. YIKES! Finally resorted to Milkbones to distract her long enough for a moment's air...and I'm scouring Amazon.ca...

Trixie is for my youngest. She's to become our next family dog. She's part shephard part retriever. Part genius lol. The phrase "too smart for my own good" applies to this puppy! At 12 weeks, and a week in the house, she's coming to call, sitting at cue 40%(I've not added verbal yet except...

I got home from work today and noticed Shamas' wrist is extending too far. No one noticed him limping...and he doesn't SEEM to be...but his left front leg, I've never seen him bend that wrist so far. It should go about 45 degrees? This is going closer to 30degrees when he puts weight on it...

I have some information from Dr Google...but this is the first time I've dealt with a bitch who's not spayed in time for Season. What do I need to know? Angel's back end is looking a little droopy, she's licking it often, and is very clingy with Shamas. Interestingly, he's more tolerant of...

Shamas has really slowed down this last year. A LOT. Last year, I got a great photo of him leaping a log at the dog park....this year, he plods along, and he doesn't do fetch anymore....well, maybe one fetch, if it's not too far Problem is, he's putting on weight fast. He's now up to 87lbs. I...

shamas is getting smelly. He could use a shampoo, but the dog shampoo that I have makes my youngest have an allergic reaction. I wondered...is there a good doggie shampoo that's hypo-allergenic? Or can I use baby shampoo? I've only ever had to shampoo him a couple of times in the time I've had...

Many of you know the story of Shamas. The rescue who was afraid to walk...who has so many phobias that it's hard to function...who ultimately almost got put down after multiple dog attacks Well, for those of you who are not familiar with the benefits of medicine for anxiety, I'm starting a...

Shamas is limping pretty badly all of a sudden. Front left. I checked him over and found his pad..the one above the dew claw is raw. Is that enough to cause a limp, or is it more likely that he landed badly jumping off the bed? I'm thinking I'm going to get an area rug to cushion his...

What does it mean when a behaviorist says they'll want to buffer angel against the effects of living with a maladaptive dog? I'm still waiting for a response from her....she was on the way out the door and couldn't talk properly. I'm confused about the language used? Is that socialization...

Someone broke down my fence on Friday night. shamas attacked a neighborhood puppy. This is not his first incident. It's been decided that he's too much of a risk to the neighbourhood......we cannot control everything. we have worked with him, trained him, given him the best life we can. but...

Angel eats Everything! I know, I know..it's normal. but wouldn't life be so much nicer if I didn't spend half the day fishing things out of her mouth instead of cleaning up? lol She's absolutely taken with the little bits of paper left after shamas shreds a bag, and sheddings along the...

Shamas is great in the house...except for some resource guarding- which is focused on his food bowl, and chews. Chews are easy--I can give them to him at night, when he's shut in his room for the night. The food bowl is a little more concerning. When the puppy gets here, I don't want him choking...

After over a year and two failed attempts to get a puppy, we have Angel. Born June 30th, to a coworker of mine, Angel will join us either end of August of beginning of September depending on her level of attachment to mom. Sire is a CorsoxDane with a beautiful temperament. Mother is...

Shamas has been showing soreness in his back end lately, so we got him to the vet today. He's getting arthritis. doc started him on Glucousamine, and we need to do Xrays--but that will be a separate appointment as he will need to go to sleep for the manipulations of his hips. thee's mention of...

Shamas has finally developed enough confidence that he's not just turning tail, or having a "fit" when he sees dogs on the walk. So we're starting to socialize him. I have a Flexi lead to allow him to roam trails, and found it helps in dog interactions--it lets him move away from other dogs as I...
