    Belle's surgery-question

    Well, we just took it off of her for a little bit and she was so relieved. She just sat down and started chewing on her Nylabone. We decided we will leave it off when we can supervise her and put it back on when we can't. Thanks for your advice.

    Belle's surgery-question

    Belle was spayed yesterday and so far everything looks great. She is already getting back to acting like her self. My question is that our vet told us to make her wear the "E-Collar" for 10 days so she doesn't mess with her stiches, but our pet trainer told us to make her wear it at least 48...

    Looking for a good chew toy

    I bought Belle 2 nylabones today and she loves them. She likes the one with the nubbies on it the best by far. Thank you all for the suggestions. I had seen them before in the stores, but never thought she would actually like it. Thanks again.

    Effective way to calm a puppy down????

    We have a 4 month old named Belle. She does the same things. My fiance and I call it her "crazy runs". Ignoring her seems to calm her down. We used to get up and go to her and try to calm her down and all that did was make her want us to play with her or chase her. Hope this helps.
