    GRRRR my neighbor threatened my dogs

    Buy an old washing machine, plug it in and push it up against the wall between your houses. Put one large wet towel in it and set it to spin cycle every time you leave. Make sure it bangs the wall incessantly when on spin cycle.

    Boxer & Teacup Poodle?

    Our neighbors down the street have a teacup poodle names Prince. When we first moved in Minnie was out in the yard palying and Prince came charching into the yard. Minnie was actually VERY intimidated...she had never seen a dog so small before. She stood very erect with her hackles up and...

    I'm insulted, what do you think?

    My sister lives out of town, but sometimes has to come up to my town for errands or for appointments etc. Sometimes if we're not home, she'll go to our house to feed the kids lunch, or let the kids take their nap etc. My wife and I have no problems with that, and we enjoy the nice little...

    Help Cane Toads

    We don't have Cane Toads where we live (or any other poisonous toads that I know of) but we do have toads that taste really really bad to animals. I've seen our Minnie pick a toad up in her mouth 2 times. Both times she really frothed at the mouth and drank lots of water to get the bad taste...

    sudden profuse drooling

    Minnie will froth at the mouth if she happens to pick up a toad. They're not out yet though - it's still too cold. She's pretty much learned her lesson with the toads too - she realizes now that they taste REALLY bad! What was really strange about Minnie's drooling was that it was only out...

    sudden profuse drooling

    When I got home from work last night Minnie was still drooling profusely, but only out of the left side of her mouth. My wife and I looked all around in her mouth and could find nothing unusual - no foreign objects, no splinters, no cuts or abrasions, no signs of any damage to any teeth or...

    sudden profuse drooling

    This is very weird. My wife just called me here at work - told me she came home from work and noticed that Minnie was drooling ALOT - constantly. This is very unusual for Minnie - she usually only drools when she's anticipating a treat or her dinner or something. My wife said Minnie has had...

    I'm insulted, what do you think?

    My sister tried to pull that kind of crap when she brought her kids over. I told her if she didn't like the dog around her kids then she could take her kids and get out. No more problems.

    the name game

    Since our Boxer girl is named Minnie - I have to vote for that! But, some other (not-necessarily-Disney) suggestions: Gretel, Greta - From Hansel and Gretel - a good German name Daisy <----------- A good one! Donald Duck's girlfriend Mae - no disney relation that I know of, just a cool...

    Split toenail

    Our Minnie did this to one of her toenails while playing with the neighbor dogs. It was split like a banana peel into three pieces. We cleaned it and stopped the bleeding with stiptic powder. After a couple days of healing my wife appkied some stuff she uses on her nails called "hard as...

    Glucosamine

    Minnie has been eating Nutro Natural Large Breed food for about 2 years now. It's got GC in it. She's too young to tell if there's any benefit...maybe we'll have a better answer in a few years. My grandfather takes GC for joint pain and he swears by it. IMO - it can't hurt to use it on...

    Tyson Strikes again

    LOL...I think they will eat and eat and eat and eat and eat...and then they look at you like "OOOHHH...I don't feel so good...Why don't I feel good??" Minnie ate a whole bottle of Tums one time when we left her out of her crate for little while! Of course we paniced and called the vet. The...

    Boxer Attack

    Glad to hear you and the pooch are both recovering! I bet that was extremely traumatizing for you and your boxer!! Our Minnie had a similar experience. She got her head stuck inbetween the bars of a wrought iron gate. She had tilted her head to the side to fit it through the gate to the...

    Walking in the rain.......

    When we first got Minnie my wife and I lived in an apartment in the historic district of our town. Since we didn't have a yard we took Minnie on lots of long walks around the main city park. One night we got caught by a sudden storm all the way on the far side of the park. We found some...

    My poor Mason

    Our Minnie developed some incontinence peoblems about a year ago. After ruling out infection the vet prescribed Phenylpropanolamine HCl (PPH). She has been on it ever since and has not had any recurrence of incontinence, and has displayed no side effects from the medication. PPH is very...

    Cola bit me!!

    When we first got Minnie she hated getting her ears cleaned too. We did what Dan suggested and just kept trying to make it a positive thing for her...we tried to make the reward way better than any fear or apprehension she had about getting her ears cleaned. Now Minnie doesn't mind getting...
