I can only add once agin maybe people need to stand up and be more assertive with Dr's sometimes especially if as a patient you have new information you would like clarified. Both my sister and I have had this procedure done SEDATED more than one! Two different Drs,2 differnt states! A lot of...

Thank-you for you clarification but I think owners still need to be on alert even if the escalaton of PETA activity is happening at the rumor or hearsay level. I personally was at a show about 10 years ago when a large group from PETA intermixed with spectators at an outdoor obedience trial and...

OMG I feel so bad for all of you! I have must have the fiary princess of all OB/GYN's! I have had all of the mentioned procedures multiple times but never in the office! Always in day surg under what they call awake sedation. They give drugs that put you out but aren't "anesthsia" per se...

What great sites. I knew I didn't know my way around this area of breeds having just recently learned that there was such a thing as a Brazilian Mastiff. Until looking for that dog and at these sites I didn't know how little I knew about bulldog/terrier type dogs! There were dozens of huge...

OMG! That had to be one of the funniest things I have ever watched! My son and I were HUGE Steve Irwin fans. My son is also one of the straightest acting gay kids you'll ever meet but some of his friends are "Ross" duplicates! I had to send it on to him! Kel OMG! That had to be one of the...

That makes traveling anywhere even scarier in someways because you can never know the laws every where on go on such an obscure issue. There should be clauses built in for things like car accidents and dog shows and legal ownership with AKC registration etc.

Places like fairgrounds and indoors are less scary. The Lab specialty is on open ground at a Sheraton convention center next to a huge mall! Last year we left dogs in cars at the other end of tha parking lot with windows open feeling safe that with so many "lab" paople walking back and forth...

What state is that quote from?? I NEVER thought of the idea of a car accident! We travel recreationally all the time all over the place with our dogs! Do we now need to read state laws for each state we might drive through on any given trip! Aren't there more important things in life for...

Chemical supression in this situation in preperation for spaying sounds like a good idea. I have heard some breeders talk about having tried it for convienence and then having had difficulty getting their bitches to cycle again after stopping the meds. Has any one had any positive expeience...

We NEVER see loose dogs around our house either until one day I walked my in heat lab into our chain linked back yard only to find the most exquisete chocolate lab dog standing IN our yard waiting for us! Luckily she was on leash, and we were close to the door when I spotted him because THEY...

I haven't read the full law in Albuquerque yet but its close to as strict and I had hope to retire to really invest in my dog showing years there because I love the area for SO many other reasons! I had heard that I think its Atlanta passed a mandatory spay/neuter on any dog picked up as a...

Hi I know I haven't been on in a long time, been doing more dog shows than horse stuff! I am getting back into minis (THANK-YOU SHAWNA BROWN) so am trying to catch up on the boards. I love this diary and would like to suggest a book/ video combo to you. They are by John and Josh Lyons. They...

CONGRATULATIONS! I was kind of hoping he hadn't sold yet since we are now in a position to offer him a home. I'm glad he found one though. We too were looking to geld him and train him for driving and performance. We wanted an all around B horse for our son that shows in both regular and PMC...

A year or 2 ago there was a listing on the sale board for Buck On's Blackmailer for sale. Does any one know if he was ever sold or who owns him now. We had been interested in buying him but did not have the space to keep him at the time. Our situation has changed and we wondered what ever...

I'm a people physical therapist but I have done some massage work on dogs. You are only about 2 1/2 hours away from me (I'm in Wilmington DE). If you wouldn't mind putting me up for a couple of days, I may be able to clear a few day toward the middle of next week and come down and see if I...

I have always wanted the classic light grey tiny "Sicilian" mini donkey with the dark black cross! Hey Shawna- if we get Alex out to you maybe we can find my tiny grey donkey (but I want a gelding) for me to buy and you can keep it out on your farm, then Alex can work it for me along with...

The first mini farm I worked on had mini jennet's in several of the fields because they were the first to sound an alarm if anything seemed amiss (dogs, fox, random plastic bag in the wind, etc). You could hear them from ANYWHERE on the farm and next door having cofee so they make great alarms...

As far as providing a mobility device I have to agree with everyone else. The only issue I have questioned is if a handler is deaf should the show provide an interpreter? I KNOW how expensive that could be. My son used to show and he is deaf. There were a few times during walk throughs on...

I take topamax on a daily basis to PREVENT migraines but if I do have a breakthrough migraine Maxalt has worked the best for me. Went from 2-3 migraines a week to maybe 1 a month with the Topamax though!

For anyone fighting depression there is a great website called the Mood Gym (moodgym.anu.edu.au). It is a cognitive behavior therapy program. Research showed that it was AS efffective in the case of clients that used only the website as those who went to see a live therapist. It helps you...
