Wow, I would go there all the time if I lived there. Awesome!!

I posted earlier that we were getting a little fawn boy and going to name him Duke. We visited at 4 weeks, 5 weeks, and today at 6 weeks. Well, it turns out that we could really start to get a much better sense of the pups personalities at 6 weeks, and I was getting a bit worried about the...

Well, a little update. We have decided to get just one puppy after all. Reading stuff here and talking to others who got 2 at once, and talking to a trainer who said it's NOT fun - all of that was just making me nervous. I want this to be fun - not a big nightmare. Maybe we'll get another in...

Linda - I remember you too!! Nice to see you again. :)

Thanks. LoveMyDoggie - I've never been asked that before. Honestly, I think it's part luck and part extreme vigilance. Both Chewy and Stella had numerous mast cell tumors starting around age 2 or so. We were constantly checking for new lumps, and would always get them aspirated right away -...

It has been a month since my Chewy went to heaven. Three weeks earlier, he had been diagnosed with a big lung tumor. He was almost 14, and I knew we didn't have much time left. I would love on him and cry, and he would lick away my tears for those last few weeks. We put him on prednisone to...

Hi everyone. I used to be on this site all the time, many years ago. Life got crazy, we moved a couple times, and I just lost track. Well, life has changed again. We lost our boy, Chewy, exactly a month ago. He was almost 14, and I had just found out he had a pretty bad lung tumor. The vet...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I guess I was assuming that *Stella* was the "normal" dog, LOL! She lets Emily do whatever she wants. Em pulls her ears, falls on her, plays with her toes, you name it, and Stella doesn't mind. But it sounds like most dogs would act more like Chewy, and not...

Chewy is 4-1/2 years old, and he totally LOVES our 10 month old daughter, Emily, but the problem is that he has "personal space issues" for lack of a better term. Chewy doesn't like her to grab him, so if he sees her coming toward him he usually just gets up and moves. Well, this morning I...

I've only seen it once so far, but I thought is was hilarious. Major flashbacks to the '80's. Trapper keepers, moonboots, bike jumps. It was like all my brothers' nerdy friends all rolled into one character. :p

Why not go for it, Courtney? Start looking into get a small business loan or getting some investors. What would it hurt to do the research and find out what it would take. You have the passion to make it work, so go for it!

I just started a new plan about a month ago. It's Dr. Phil's plan, and the book is excellent. I've lost 8 pounds so far, and have 49 to go. Yikes! I like this plan because it really helps you get to the core of WHY you are overweight in the first place, and teaches you how to change from the...

Awww, thanks guys! I'm sure it'll be a good one. :D

Ok, you guys are a bad influence on me. I just painted Stella's nails!!!! :D

Wow, you've really been through it with your brother. Personally, I would still talk to your brother, but would NEVER help him with another thing - even if he *really* needed the help. People don't grow up unless they have to, and why should your brother grow up if everyone around him gives...
