Our APBT has completely destroyed her crate, and worked on Mickey's! My husband put tie straps on the front panel, which she pushed open repeatedly, and now we have to padlock the door closed because she can push her way out of that! This crate was purchased at Wal-Mart, but I haven't found...

Well, what can you say? We have a wonderful APBT named Mya. She is the most wonderful dog! She just wants to be with us and be loved, which she gets lots of. When my brother brought his family (4 kids, ages 10 to 15 and a wife) to our house, we were a bit concerned because Mya hasn't been...

Yes, I have 3 other dogs. Our pit and Mickey are crated, the other two aren't and mostly sleep on the floor in our room. Mickey and Mya get the bed (and usually end up kicking me out during the night). I will try the crate in the bedroom, that is a good suggestion. I'll let you know how it...

We don't go to him when he howls, but at some point we do have to let him out. I don't think it's a potty thing, he can hold that. And we do let him sleep with us (in the bed), but then he makes us get up by bouncing around on the bed and generally being a pest until we let him out. You know...

Mickey has been howling in his crate for over 2 years now. He crates up just fine and stays quiet until about 3-4 in the morning. The he howls on and off until we get up. As soon as he hears us open the bedroom door, he shuts up so he's not making any noise when we walk into the room. We are...

Sounds great! We'll be there!

Which park? Either day is fine with me, maybe Sunday would be better because of the game. Let me know.

So, are we on for this weekend? The hubby is gone so I can be there anytime. I am really looking forward to getting together with other boxer families! Let me know when and where, we'll be there!

Sounds great! It's nice that we finally have so many parks to choose from. Just decide and I'll be there with Mickey and Mya. Can't wait to see you guys!

I will be there in the afternoon, probably until 6:00 or so, if the dogs can hold out! I'm going to the Humane Society park on Beach Blvd. I'd love to see you out there! I'll be the one with the fawn boxer and brindle pit.

Sure, sounds good! We'll probably be out at the park this weekend anyway, letting the carpets dry. The new park sounds like lots of fun, I'm so glad that we have so many to choose from, used to be just the one in St. Augustine.

We are actually planning a trip next Saturday (10/4) to the park on Beach at the Humane Society. But I can meet anywhere! There is a new park on the West side called Poochie's Park, one in Julington Creek and one in St. Augustine. The Davis park does have gators in the pond, so be careful...

I was standing in line a the vet when a man in front of me pulled his dog and cat (in a cage) away from my baby pit Mya. He said, "one of those dogs killed my cat". I was so mad! I know that my lab will kill a cat if it is in his yard. I wanted to tell the guy off right then and there, but...

I use it on Mickey, too. It seems to work, but I have to re-spray each time he comes in and goes out, wears off pretty fast. It's the only thing I've found that works, though.

Poor Mickey is all little bumps when he comes in from playing in our huge (and wet) yard, I just HATED it! Mosquitos are really hard on me, so I felt really bad about my baby getting chewed on. We use Advantix and I spray him with "FlysOff". I found it at PetsMart and I'm on my second can...
