TossBranAbi - I got Jake's leather collar here: http://www.morrco.com/ The prices are good and it's very heavy leather. Plus I ordered on a Friday by Phone, the collar was in my mailbox on Monday with a personalized name plate. They do have some pink ones.

Jake "gets his fleas" when he wants you to play. He comes over and starts nibbling on your wrists and pulling (not hard) on your sleeve to get you to play with him.

I don't know if they know each other or not. Jake sees his mom on a regular basis and is constantly trying to hump her. She has been fixed since right after he was born, yet every time he is around her all he does is hump. He walks around behind her sniffing, humping the air. It's pretty...

Glad to hear Duke will be OK. Jake got loose and was hit by a car a few months ago. It's a scary time until you hear the vet say they will be OK.

No, we never got together. There is a dog park in Northwest akron. It's part of the Metroparks. It's on Memorial Parkway right near where Uhler comes down and joins Memorial. Post again if you need better directions.

It could be the foods/treats you are feeding. We started with Canidae and he had horrible gas (and eye boogers) so we switched to Merrick. Same thing. We switched to California Natural Lamb & Rice and rarely does he fart (or have eye boogers) unless the kids sneak him something else. Even...

Welcome fellow Buckeye. Where is Milford? There are lots of people here from Ohio. Hope to see pics of your pup soon.

What about going to one of those "paint your own" ceramic places and doing the pink ribbons?

I'm in Akron (north) and Poohsmom is in South Akron! Tell us a little about your pup, I have a 1 yr old male, fawn, docked tail, floppy ears.

I joined here a couple of weeks after getting my pup and as a result of reading the forum decided never to give my pup a rawhide. I go to the butcher counter in the local grocery store and ask for soup bones. They aren't as big as Lily gets, they're only about 5-6 inches long, but they last a...

We got Jake at 6 weeks also and had the exact same problem. Some days he actually sounded hoarse from the crying. We just gave him some time. Within 2 weeks the crying had stopped completely. Our biggest issue was that his crate was too big so he was pottying in it. Everything we did to...

How about "Lord High Keeper of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong, Counselor in Moments of Temptation, and Guide along the Straight and Narrow Path", that's the official title given to Jiminy by the Blue Fairy. If that one's too long, I like the Jiminy Cricket's Blue Fairy so far.

I read The Dog Whisperer when Jake was a baby and this is exactly what they recommended. My oldest Daughter and I practiced this but my youngest and DH didn't. Guess who Jake still jumps on? When I come in the door Jake tries to sit (it's tough when you are wiggling that hard), but when DH...

Last night I was the last one to arrive home, just about the time everyone else was finishing dinner. Jake has just started barking when people come in the front door, he barks once or twice until he sees who it is, then quits. Last night when I came in I heard him bark once, but it was a...

Did you ever get it figured out? My in-laws had a lab that had a systemic yeast infection and caused his hair to fall out in patches and his paws got really red & swollen (ears too). Maybe it's yeast?
