My five and a half month puppy started to yak in the house this morning. We quickly sent her outside. When we checked on her a moment later, she was having trouble standing up! She started to roll down the hill. After a couple of tries, she walked right back into the house and seemed pretty...

My five month old puppy is losing the hair off the top of her head and now her ears are starting to look a little sparse. I can't imagine what would cause this. She eats from stainless steel bowls, so I don't think it would be an allergy, but honestly I have no idea. Please help!

I'm glad to hear this hasn't killed anyone's dog yet. Lenox gets into the neighbors' litter box dump spot and every once in a great while, her own. The worst problem is when she carries it into the house. Yuck! We scolded her severly the couple times she tried it and it's been awhile now.

undies club I'm so glad to hear all of your stories. It makes me feel soooo much better! I used to be horrified at the possibility that one of my husband's friends would find my thongs carried around the house by the puppy. Now Lenox is a little better about staying out of the laundry, but...

yes, yes Welcome to Boxer World. I know exactly how you feel about your baby. I cannot imagine a day without my Lenox now. I know it sounds crazy, but she brings such joy and companionship to my life. In fact, this morning, she whined to get up so daddy finally took her out. Then she came...

fabulous Wow! I love your Max--what a gorgeous dog. Our dog has become a little more alert to strange noises in the past month or so, but she has a long way to go. Neither one of us have quite figured out the hide and seek game yet. =)

gratitude Thanks for the wonderful answers from everyone. Now I'm enjoying my puppy "hugs." Plus, she will only do it to my husband and me. The string theory probably is accurate because now that you mention it, Lenox will chew anything with a string. You all made me feel so much better...

doggie days When we first got our puppy, she came to work with me all the time. I work at a college so lots of students came in and out to shower her with lovin'. My brother, who is a junior here, would take her for hours at a time because she's a "chic magnet." However, she got bigger and...

I really, really need you guys' help. Our female, 3 month old puppy has begun to wrap her legs around mine and move her little butt up and down. When she does it in front of other people, they think it's hysterical and say she's "humping" and then come the lesbian jokes. But she's a dog and I...

We are in the process of finding a pemanent veterinarian for our puppy. Is the AAHA stamp necessary? What exactly is the purpose of AAHA? We got her first exam and shots from an AAHA vet in another town. However, the second series came from a non-AAHA in our town. I admit, it was in...

My puppy gets too excited to meet new people! She really goes nuts. It doesn't matter if they're children or adults, smelly or ugly, she just LOVES meeting new people. However, she will scratch, nip and jump all over them if they come down to her level. It's embarassing. How can I get her...

We got our puppy at a small town pet store a few weeks ago. We were impressed by the "family" atmosphere of the store and obvious sanitary measures that were taken with the dogs. Interestingly, in the puppies papers, it is as though no pet store was involved and that she came directly from the...

My 11 week puppy had several "bumps" appears on her head overnight. You can't see them, but they feel like human acne. They don't appear to bother her at all. She doesn't even notice when I touch them, but I'm a little concerned. Has anyone seen this before?

OK, I'm very new to this puppy stuff, but I thought dogs have to have heartworm medicine every month. Is heart guard something completely different? I would love to save a little money if possible, but I certainly don't want to take a chance of hurting our baby. Thanks.

That poem was adorable. I feel just like the little girl when my puppy falls asleep in my arms. I think she really does love me even more than I love her, if that's possible!
