I love those pictures! My dogs are not as polite. Chance will just take whatever he wants and Rocky just walks away looking sad. Chance is a growler.

KUDOS! I am so impressed with all the responses and how everyone worked together and so hard to save the beautiful baby. I too wish there was more I could do. I'd love to foster but know my husband would object mostly because he knows I'd fall in love with every foster and want to keep it and...

Poor Bohdi! Chance has a broken leg when he came to the local humane society that had to be pinned too. His foster mom had to keep him quiet and mostly that meant keeping him in a crate. For the first 2-3 weeks he was only allowed out of the crate to eat and pee (and then he was mostly...

My neighbors boxer (Rocky's brother) use to do that everytime I saw him. I would have to be careful or he'd pee on me. But it stopped when he was about a year old. He hasn't peed on me in a long time (he's 2 now). He still gets very excited to see me though!

UH-OH - I too sometimes read a post and do not reply because I don't have an answer. Just because people don't reply to your post does not mean that they don't care.

I live in the Phoenix area and have 2 boxers. I'm careful to wait until after the sun goes down in the evening before taking them for walks or to the park but that's really only in the summer. It's wonderful in the winter. I also hose mine down if they go out in the heat and play. It cools...

it's not too late I trained Chance not to get on the furniture without permission when I got him (he was 1yo). Both of mine are allowed on the furniture but only with permission and one of us has to be on the furniture with them. Kind of weird I know but it keeps them from getting on the...

It's good that you knew what to do. I'm glad Ruby is doing OK.

Rocky too! Rocky is afraid of anything unfamiliar. He's OK around people as long as they don't try to touch him before he's had a chance to check them out. But anything new and he will run. We've just gotten use to it and laugh at him. I think when we laugh it calms him down somehow. Also...

That's great. Just gotta get the right motivator. Keep up the good work Gina!

Chief's Pappy - If you don't have an emergency vet please keep a doggy first aid kit around that includes benedryl. I was told 1 mg per 1 pound of weight approximately. Everyone else. Thanks for you thoughts and I'm sure Chance will be his normal bouncing self in a day or two. Now I just...

Just had to talk to people who know where I'm coming from. I let my dogs out last night to play and about 10 min later Rocky was at the door but no Chance. When I went looking for him he was laying in the side yard and would not move. I tried to get him to get up but he was like a wet noodle...

Something I've done with my babies when they do something I don't like (like barking at me when I tell him to do something) is to grab his cheeks and give a very firm NO! It calms them right down and they start listening and behaving. It's almost like mom just got serious. I don't know if...

My cat almost seems to like to get the dogs in trouble. He'll lay in the middle of the hall and when one of the dogs comes by he hisses, slaps, and runs. If the dogs don't pay any attention to him, he'll walk under them and make sure his tail rubs their bellies. It took the cat a little time...
