    Allergies

    Thanks for the input @Ashley! My SIL told me that it works well for her lab and he's about the same size as Aspen, I think she said about $150 or so for a shot that lasts three months. She says its worth it for the relief he gets so we may try that if it is an option for us.

    Allergies

    Thanks for the advice @Oberon! I feel so bad for him and I am hoping that a visit to the vet along with moving soon will help alleviate his itching. He and I never had allergies this bad at our old house, so I'm hoping it's an allergen at this house we are temporarily living at that's bothering...

    Allergies

    Hi everyone! So I am taking Aspen to the vet and will ask them about it there but I think he is suffering from very bad seasonal allergies or a yeast infection at the moment. I just wanted to see if anyone else might have an thoughts. After we take him out for his bathroom breaks, he comes...

    Aspen got attacked

    @Shamas mom He is doing well! He loves all the other dogs he plays with. There’s Copper, Clifford, Parker, Reus, Diesel, Chester, and Maggie. They’re all cousins. We love dogs On both sides of our families 😁 This has been on isolated incident of a bad reaction from a dog, so I’m sure he will be...

    Aspen got attacked

    @M.F. We do! We put antibiotic ointment on his face. They are scratches from the other dog getting pulled off. I would not call them lacerations, I just worry that there might somehow be tissue damage from the force of the other dogs jaws. Of course now everyone thinks our boy is the aggressive...

    Aspen got attacked

    Thank you sooo much everyone!! You are all the best. :heart: Now I am thinking he may need to go to the vet because I found some new scratches that look pretty painful. Wish us luck, we were just there last week!

    Aspen got attacked

    Absolutely agree @Shamas mom, Aspen will not be interacting with Benny ever again. My sister does not even want to keep him but he’s still around because he is her boyfriends dog. I would never put my love bug through a situation like that again. That’s why we never go to dog parks, you never...

    Aspen got attacked

    Thank you for your reassuring words @Oberon! He did get to play a with my MIL’s chocolate, Parker afterwards. He is still his happy self, playing and eating and snuggling. He just needs some extra loving, that’s what I keep telling myself.

    Aspen got attacked

    Hi friends, our sister recently adopted a dog after fostering him and today we introduced the dogs. Benny is a pittie and he’s the same weight as Aspen but of course packs more punch in his power and when they were sniffing one another Benny took hold of Aspens face in his mouth. I was terrified...

    Your Intact Male

    Hi friends! So Aspen and I have just come back from a vet visit. I was freaking out because he was drooling and had a runny nose for three days straight. Vet couldn't get us in till today because they didn't think it was an emergency as he was still eating, drinking, pottying, and playing...

    Raw Treats

    Thanks friends! I don't know if you guys remember but he has pretty brown teeth already for only being three. He has been drooling the last day and a half so that's why I am concerned about dental and bringing him in. I'm sure they will say he needs a cleaning so I am just looking for the best...

    Raw Treats

    We still feed Aspen kibbles because raw isn’t something that we have tried yet. Aspen gets raw chicken breast as a treat nearly everyday from when I’m prepping for meals so he is used to raw meat. If I were to give him a raw chicken drumstick or wing everyday as a snack, would that assist in...

    Crusty Tail Skin

    Phew okay thanks for always calming my fears guys 😂 I have some health anxiety so that extends to Aspen and I’m always asking myself “Is this normal?!”

    Crusty Tail Skin

    Obviously I have too much time on my hands being quarantined. Aspens tail has always been a wonder of the world in our family because the thing is so strong it’ll knock a grown man over or bruise you. Well we were on the couch and I was checking out his tail and I noticed that the end of it is...

    Train Troubles

    I could try the game! Or maybe a Kong. I’ll try to see if I can gauge a more specific time.

    Train Troubles

    Thank you everyone for all the options! The train doesn’t always pass at the same time every single night, which is the hard part. It’s usually after the sun sets so can be anywhere from 8:30-10:00 PM. The weird part is that he doesn’t react vocally if we aren’t home. I know this because there...

    Train Troubles

    We moved in October and have been temporarily living in a house near train tracks. Well, the property we bought is about one minute away from the current house we are staying at and is even closer to the train tracks. A train rumbles through every single night and though it isn’t that loud, the...

    Hunger pukes

    @Jacqui-S That's exactly what I was thinking of but for some reason wasn't sure if it also applied to dogs. What kind of snacks would you recommend? Like carrots and cheese and things like that?
