I feel for you...I really do. I rescued Reilly when I was single and working full time. He was approximately 10 months old. He wasn't house trained, crate trained, socialized, obedient, etc. After 3 crates (he destroyed them all), and lots of patience he learned his boundaries. I've been...

1. Mabel - why do you lick at the air...are you tasting something good? 2. Reilly - why do you sit on the back deck and bark at air molecules? 3. Reilly - what is it about BF putting hands in pockets that offends you so? 4. Reilly - do you look back and think how much better you have it...

Day 2 Update - 50/50 First of all...bless my vet. He's the absolute best! I called him this morning and he said that Simba had a rough night. However, his white blood cell count is up to 130 today. They did a distemper titre today and they'll get the results after the weekend. He is 100%...

Update Well...first thing this morning I called the vet's office to make sure the little guy made it through the night. He did and even wagged his tail a bit for the tech upon greeting him this morning. The vet called around noon with his findings after the check up... According to his...

No..no..no...I'm not looking for that kind of help. Thank you though, but I just want to make sure that I did the right thing. I guess I'm looking for validation...I feel really....nervous. Because really...now what? I can't keep him at the vets. However, when I take deep breaths...I...

I just called a local rescue here. The woman was very nice and told me to wait and see what the vet says tomorrow and then give her a call. However, she said that I must look at it from their perspective because he's white, he has a tail and he's deaf which means he would be very hard to...

It started a few weeks ago... My elderly neighbors son-in-law got a stray white boxer puppy. Not sure of specifics, but it was on the street - the police were called - the policeman gave it to my neighbor. My neighbors son-in-law and daughter and their two kids are living with my...

Rat Update Well...I called the exterminator and he said that all he would do is put out poison stations and then the rat would die in 6-7 days. The hell? I told him no...one - i have dogs that now have a taste of rat and won't settle down until it's gone...so I don't want a rat full of...

It's now 6:20am on Friday. I woke up this morning at 5:25am with my dogs going INSANE! I thought they were chasing after their squeeky ball. Oh. Holy. Hell! It wasn't their ball that was squeeking...it was a RAT! Omigod! I'm freaking out! I want a cigarette, a drink, and an exterminator...

I've lived in Indiana all my life and I remember having to take a check from my parents on the first day of school for book rental from grades K - 12. Hmmm.....it's never occured to me that other places don't have book rental.

I love my dog door! I've been using it for 3 years now. It's in the kitchen in the back door that leads to a privacy fenced in yard. I have a metal permanent gate that blocks the kitchen from the rest of the house for when I'm not home. The dogs go in and out at their will but usually hang...

My little vent... I'm really starting to resent as a female I always get "stuck" with the mother(s). I don't have kids by choice, so why do I get to stay behind?? I have to sit and listen about kids ad nauseam. In the meantime, my BF gets to go with fathers and have a grand ol' time...
