Dogs.

I've lived in the city, on the outskirts of cities, and way out in the country miles from a big city. I've been around indoor cats, cats who prefered to spend some time outdoors and cats who stayed outdoors exclusively. I'm not making a judgement call, although I do believe it is safer for cats...

Why does she HAVE to go out? Given what she's been through, her obvious desire to stay indoors, and the safety of being an exclusively indoor cat, why is it so important she go outside at all?

Nicely done. I like how the mane covers where the neck cuts off so it tones down the look of being just a head.

Horse heads remind of that scene in the Godfather...

That was... craptastic.

Here's a thought... If you don't like the hind ends on conformation GSDs from reputable breeders, find a reputable working GSD breeder. If the dogs are working stock you'll know there's a good chance your puppy will grow up to be the same (with proper training), plus you'll know the pup is from...

Why not try some training classes to see if you can work with Diego before letting him go? This would be way more than just "obedience" training. I urge you to check out http://www.dogdaysnw.com (located in Vancouver) and contact them ASAP about their behavioral training: Fiesty Fido, Control...

There are SO MANY dogs out there ANYONE could adopt right now it hurts my heart to know that I cannot take in any more, so I help with cheritable donations to rescues when possible. I adopted an intact AKC CH Chinese Crested Hairless dog ("Louis") from a private rescuer in 2009, took in a foster...

I'd love to see a link to a rescue that requires a dog stay inside "24/7"... And smoke is really bad for pets. Like small children, they do not have the choice of escaping it when their people smoke indoors around them. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/...70831123420.htm ^ Rescues...

From vetinfo.com: "There are a number of things which can initiate or facilitate enzyme leakage, so pancreatitis can occur for a number or reasons. Often, it takes a combination of precipitating factors to cause pancreatitis to occur in a dog or cat. High fat diets, obesity and lack of exercise...

That wheelchair looked incredibly uncomfortable. I'm glad she didn't have to use it, but sorry for her that she's had to drag herself around for seven months. I hope she continues to improve, but I also hope she gets in for another check up and surgery now, if needed. Dogs can be incredibly...

I would definitely consider what you are feeding. Also, how much you are feeding as too much food can also cause gas.

I have seven dogs and at the beginning of the month they each got a special Christmas collar, and one special doggy themed stocking to share (the only stocking hanging up in the boat). Then I ordered them a couple boxes of special Christmas flavor cookies for them from CloudStar.com. Then we...

Just a quick post to say Yappy Howlidays from me, the seven dogs and the pony... who thinks he's a dog, too.

I did read your post and the rest of the posts on this thread. Twice. I understand we are talking about a young man, not a child, and his desire to own a dog very unlike any pet dog he's had experience with. Gifting such a dog to someone is like giving them a potentially deadly weapon. While he...

It definitely isn't cheap, and I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, but I do hope you'll get Mitzy in to a specialist as soon as you can. Pain may be what's slowing her down when it comes to adjusting and there are lots of things that a specialist can do to make her more comfortable.

I would find your local GSD breed club and go hang out at their meetings with your son, if at all possible. I know the one around here allows people who are interested to come without joining. I would also do the same with your local Schutzhund group. I just honestly cannot imagine what a broke...

Going blind shouldn't be a death sentence for Mitzy. Have you had her eyes checked out by a veterinary opthamologist? She might be losing her sight and be in pain from glaucoma, or some other malady which could be better managed with the proper medication. I have a Toy Poodle who was bitten in...
