Praying you get positive results. Ellie is a very beautiful girl and its such a shame that she has had to go through so much so young. I have been very fortunate that I have never had anything serious yet to happen to any of my kids, and I know it has to be heartbreaking to be going through this...

Greg, So glad to see you are tha pumped about your new puppy. I did the same thing when it came to naming my boy as faras a lot of research. I know its a common name, but I ended up with Beau, which is a translation to "beautiful." My boys AKC name is "Papas Beausolei" meaning "Papas...

Nothing wrong with Lucky at all. I personally got my girl in a semi sort of rescue way, and named her Stella. I base it off of "A Street Car Named Desire", Where Brando calls out STELLA. It has been a perfect name, and you will probably find your self raising your voice from time to time as I...

If you are not already doing it, incorporate some canned food into her diet. I had a problem with my Beau having dry skin, and scratching off paches of hair. My vet told me he needed more oils in his diet, but not to use just an egg in his dry food. In about two weeks the patches went away along...

I use A vitamin from Pet Smart. The brand is "Nutri Vet", and the kind is "Hip & Joint". One of the ingredients is in fact Glucosamine Hydrochloride. I started notcing whe Stella turned about 6 evry oncei a while when she would get up from sleeping on a chair or the couch she was slower, and...

Not saying you should sacrifice quality healthcare for money, but that sounds way excessive. In Lafayette Louisiana the most expensive guy in town is $200.00, and there are at least 4 that do spays for $75.00. My girl Stella has no scar at all, and was done for $75.00. More money does not always...

I wrestle with the thought of, "will I be able to not be selfish," and hang on too long when the time comes for my babies. It sounds like you did the right thing. I cold not see just putting him down without trying, and at the same time not making him suffer when no progress is being made. I...

Beau is the resident drooler. What gets me is how without provocaton sometimes he just starts sliming for no reason, and makes sure to come and rub up on you when he does. When there is food around beak out the mop. As far as getting mad, I actually find it funny when people start getting full...

Mine take it anyway they can get it. They loe the belly rubs although Beau does go inot kickstart mode pretty easy. What really gets me is when brushing Beau and Stella sometimes too with this brush that is like a saw blade with a handle. I foget the name of it, but you dag it against the hair...

Only 3 correct

Wow! Thanks for the heads up, my dogs love tomatoes, and actually all kinds of fruits and veggies. I never would have thought they would be harmful. All along I thought I was giving a healthier treat by giving them those sorts of things. I have only given like a grape at a time, and a slice of...

Beau 3yr. 8mo. 68-70 lbs. Stella 7 yr 1 mo. 58-60 lbs.

Sorry to hear about the last pup Taz, I'm sure Buddy will reap the reward of being spoiled twice over. As far as the eyes if it is excessive like you wipe the eyes, and an hour later they are crudded again, I would try some eye wash to make sure nothing is in there irritating it. Could it be an...

Sorry to hear about your baby boy. Is there a corrective surgery? Best wishes for a manageable solution and our prayers for your boy. Andy Beau, Bitsey, Bull, and Stella

Try canned food. My Beau had dry irritated skin to where he was scratching off patches. 3 weeks of cannd food did the trick, but I still feed it to him everyday. He gets about 2 cups of dry Iams in the morning, and a 13 oz can in the in the evening. I have a freind who had a lab that had a...
