    Michigan camping?

    I believe Manistee National Forest is dog friendly. I know the fire trails off the main road are dog friendly but I'm not sure about the state park campground. The beach by the campground is dog friendly though. We took ours there last year.

    Pepcid, Rolaids, Tums?

    Blayne does the same thing when her tummy gets upset. I give her one Pepcid tablet and usually it helps. Sometimes it isnt enough though...I would check with your vet to be sure though.

    Jolly Ball.

    Oh yes, we have that toy and Roscoe loves it. It is an outside toy ONLY. He would break everything in our house with it if we let him play with it inside. Here is Roscoe playing with his...

    So much for sit-ups! LOL

    That's so funny because I have the same problem. I have yoga videos that I like to do, but try doing them with two boxers running around. You get knocked over and stepped on. When I try to do cruches on the floor Roscoe just stands over me and whines. I have given up on doing exercises on...

    Vomiting in the morning?

    Roscoe used to do the same thing almost every morning, very early. We started giving him a snack before we went to bed and he hasnt had a problem since. We give him a little bit of kibble, but you could give him a bone or some bigger treat just so he has something in his tummy before he goes...

    Attracted to all heat sources

    I would have your vet do a thyroid test to rule out thyroid problems. That is one of the signs of a thyroid issue.

    Friend's Dog - Seeking Advice

    I had a shar-pei that had a MCT grade III removed at 1 1/2 years. Unfortunatley, the tumor grew back within a week and at that point, I knew that there was no hope. The vet told me that we could do chemo but it might only prolong his life another 6 months. Since he was pretty aggressive and...

    Mouse/Mice

    I have the same problem. I HATE mice and found droppings in my basement so off to the store I went. D-Con now makes this trap that is enclosed so you dont have to see or hear it go off and you just pick it up and throw the whole thing away. I paid $4 for 2 of them, so they are not too...

    Oh ****! Not the Christmas tree. (longish)

    We just put up a small 4 foot tree up on out entertainment center because I knew it would be too tempting for Roscoe, even though he gets crated while we are gone. I knew he wouldnt leave it alone even when we were around, so I decided to not even tempt him with it.

    Sydney almost choked to death last night

    Maybe try to put a big rock in her food bowl so that she had to eat around it or try spreading her food out on a towel on the floor so she has try a little hard to get it. It should make her slow down a little.

    Is it supposed to be this easy? (a bit long)

    That sounds exactly like how things were with our Blayne...even down to the excessive face licking. And let me tell you, six months later, she is still the same sweetheart she was when we brought her home. Isn't it just unfathomable how someone could abandon such wonderful animals?

    How long in the crate?

    Yeah, we usually do the 4-5 hour limit. In the mornings my fiance is home until about 11 and then I come home at lunch, 12ish, and then leave around 1. I am usually back no later than 5:15, unless there is something pressing. On the weekends, we try not to be gone more than 4 or 5 hours...

    The Christmas Tree

    We bought a 4ft pre-lit tree this year instead of putting up our usual tree (first xmas with both dogs) and put it on top of our tv stand, so they cant get it. They both sniffed it for awhile but we just kept on the "leave it" command and they havent bothered with it since. Here is a picture...
