Aspen has a cue for eating kibbles so he sits down and waits till I say "OK!". Normally he would dive straight into eating. He used to eat really quickly. I have noticed over the last 2 months that A: he has slowed down his eating a lot and B: he trots around and gets easily distracted and even...

I'm so glad your little is okay! Once, Aspen ran in front of an SUV and was steps away from getting hit. Never in my life have I felt so helpless. I had nightmares about it for weeks. After we realized Aspen's recall was not as reliable as we thought he is now on a leash if he isn't in a...

So I just noticed that Aspen has a balding patch at the end of his tail :eek: Not only that, but Justen was looking at the spot the other day and noticed that the very tip of Aspen's tail is incredibly dry! It is so dry that the tip could almost poke you, like the carbon tip of a pencil! Upon...

So sweet! I miss that puppy smell. Welcome from myself and Aspen!

Poor Nelly! Hope she got the rest out - and hope you didn't get too much snow!

I've been trying to moisturize Aspen's paw pads with Musher's Secret because this cold has taken quite a toll on his feet. I was worried about the especially dry parts near his nails - does this look like they're just really dry or does it look like there's something else going on? They're...

I’m unsure if the source is super reliable, but I joined a Facebook page that educates dog parents on alternative options to the traditional neuter/spay. A lot of people are seeking out Zeuterin still but that basically failed as soon as it launched in the US and no one really knows what it is...

I suppose he was playing pretty hard with my friend’s Husky on Friday. He might have gotten scratched then. Will keep an eye on it, thanks everyone!

This was Aspen's eye maybe 5 months ago, excuse the eye booger. And then yesterday I noticed an eye booger that I couldn't get off. I left it alone cause I didn't want to irritate his eye. Well, today most of the boogers came off but the color of his skin changed. It doesn't seem to bother...

Any of your beloved pups have horrendously dry paws? Aspen's paws are not cracked or anything, but they are decently flaky and so dry that they are actually painful if he touches you with them. I can't imagine that it is comfortable for him, especially now that we are entering cold, snowy...

@snowbunny Oh, I wish I could do that, it sounds great! Alas, I am a semi-poor college student, but I will remember that for the future. I will look into alternate food for Aspen. I am just nervous to do it because the last time I did, Aspen became very skinny. I have read that you should not...

@snowbunny What do you do for home cooked food?

@kateincornwall I am, and always have been, but each time I bring it up the vets (three in total) have told me it is normal because dogs use anal glands to mark and as long as he isn't scooting it is okay. I have always been wary of that though because he does lick at it a lot! @Boogie He eats...

Okay, so we've been doing the snack before bed and no puking. However, this morning, Aspen puked at 6 am after getting a 9 pm snack and it wasn't bile, it was kibbles. He does this thing where he wakes up and begins to lick himself. Is he puking because of all the licking? He constantly has a...

Aspen bats at the door to get let out. Lately, he has been batting and whining. We always let him out when he asks. The last three days, he has been asking to go out at least 10 times each hour and then when we open the sliding door to let him out he quickly hops away from the door like he's...

Aspen has been eating 28% protein kibbles since he was a small pup, its what the breeder had him on. I think it probably has different effects based on different circumstances of different puppies - when they are neutered, how quickly or slowly they grow, etc. It didn't seem to be too much for...

Not to take away from this post, but Aspen has been having the same issue - he has very gunky eyes, like morning boogers, but throughout the entire day. He doesn't have red eyes or any other type of irritation, just constant eye boogers. It seems to be worse with the colder, cooler fall/winter...

After Aspen destroyed his nice Serta dog bed about a year ago we just haven't gotten around to getting him a new one. Was thinking of getting him one of those plastic Perla ones (one like this, in case people call them different things Perla Bed) and then a little cushion or blanket inside. He...

I can't believe how big Reuben is already! I can imagine his puppy smell :love:

My sisters house - the previous owners had cats. Is he pooing to cover their scent? At my house - the previous owners had dogs, maybe the same thing? A marking activity?
