We have a store just like you described, and once I found it I buy everything for Roscoe from there. They carry a great variety of good foods, treats, supplements, good toys, gear such as travel bowls, lifejackets, seatbelts, etc. The couple who runs the store are fantastic and really know...

We got the Boxer bungee for Roscoe's first birthday last year, August 2002 and it is still with us in about 90% shape. He loves to play with it and it is still one of his favorites. The only real damage is that he quickly chewed off the vinyl nose, but I just sewed it closed and it is great!

So glad to hear they are okay!! If you don't want to leave them "naked" in the house (that's what we do too), there is a breakaway collar for just such instances: http://www.breakawaycollar.com/

Thanks! Those you've mentioned are the same I was looking at, I think they look pretty good and should fit the bill. I'm so nervous about flying him anyway, I don't want to add even more worries!:)

Hi all! Had a question regarding breakaway collars: We're going to be moving back to the mainland this Nov. and will be flying Roscoe for the first time. (The first time we've flown with any pet.) While in the crate for the plane he is supposed to wear a collar and i.d. tags. Normally if...

Hi all, late to this thread, but we're going to be moving to CT later this year, probably late Nov. Would love to meet up sometime, although I guess for us it might have to wait until spring, I'll keep checking in. Our Roscoe is 2 this month, neutered brindle boy. (There's some pics in our...

A cute thing we've taught Roscoe was to 'answer questions'. We first taught him to wave his left paw (he shakes with the right) with the command "wave" and waving hand motion. He did this so readily that we shrunk the command down so that all you have to do is barely move your finger. So, you...

Congratulations and how exciting!! Hopefully these next two weeks will fly by with your anticipation. Courage is a great name!:D

There are a lot of punch recipes at www.allrecipes.com - you might want to check it out. I made a really good one from there last year for a friend's bridal shower. I don't remember the name, but it had Sprite, lemonade, frozen raspberries, and you put scoops of raspberry sherbet on top. I...

We always take a long leash also, here you can take dogs to several areas but they are supposed to be on leash (of course there's always some that arent). This way we can have control over Roscoe if necessary but he can run around and check everything out also. Have fun!!

Welcome Amy and Heidi!!:)

You say you're feeding Natural Balance, they make a good canned food, Roscoe loves it and eats it better than any others we've tried. If you try feeding scheduled breakfast you could add a bit of canned to each meal, maybe half the can since you're feeding the whole can at dinnertime. It is...

So glad to hear that Owen is feeling better!! Yay! Hope he continues to improve, we'll be thinking of him.:)

:lol: That's true! My husband is Navy and on a submarine out here, when there are boat functions, picnics, etc., we consider those "mandatory fun". Seriously, the Guard is a great program and does wonderful service. If you know the possiblities of what you might have to do and that is all...

I don't have any experience with Owen's situation, just wanted to say that we'll be thinking about you, Owen, and Tegan and sending him 'get better' wishes. Update us when you get the chance.:)
