After many long and involved discussions with Lara's breeder (Kim), it has finally been decided. I will be adopting a show quality male Jack Russell (shorty). His name is Superflys Sir Lancelot. I'll call him Lance. He is Lara's brother, two litters after the one she came from - same parents.

Kim will pay for all the genetic testing. I'll raise him and he will be my little boy. When he is of age, Kim will use him for a stud. Apparently, I will get a "stud fee" - whatever that is...Kim will get first pick of the puppies.

He's just turned four weeks old so, I won't be bringing him home for six to eight weeks yet. He needs lots more time with his biological mom. I'm so excited!!! He is an incredibly cute little guy! I'll post a picture of him in my album since I can't for the life of me, figure how to post one in the threads.

Kim and I became very good friends after I got Lara from her and we've kept in touch frequently. Is this the way these arrangements normally work or am I getting a special arrangement because I already have one of her dogs?

I have a two year old Ori Pei (Shar Pei and Pug Mix) and he always wants to play and get into things but last night in the middle of the night he woke me up crying out and moaning. He also always sleeps at my side and he moved to the end of the bed. Then this morning he has been very clingy and won't really do much and again just wants to sit there and stare at me instead of playing. I am not sure what to do and since it is a weekend my vets office is closed and I would have to take him to the emergency vet in town to have him looked at. I am just at a loss for what to do. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you,

My yellow lab eats his food funny.

We picked up a beautiful stray male papillon, all white with black head. We tried every way we could, but no owner came forth. We've had him for several months. He is not aggressively a biter, but if my husband doesn't approach him just right, he has bitten him several times. The last time took two rounds of antibiotics and he had to have his finger lanced twice at the doctor's. We feared that my husband might develop osteomyelitis. Luckily, it healed okay after a long time. I am afraid of the dog and will not approach him. We had him neutered and that didn't help. Our vet says my husband is in denial that Bandit is not a good addition to our household. We have adopted 7 other dogs that needed a home and have fostered many many more who eventually found a home through Good Dog Rescue. We live in a suburb of Memphis (Germantown), TN.

Sorry this is so long, but thought history should be included. My husband has agreed to try to find any solution for this problem short of putting him down. I am willing to do that, and the vet agrees this would be appropriate, but my husband refuses.

HELP ????

Me and mum have two labrador/staffie crosses. We love them do much.

Rather than feed them kibble (which dogs hate) we feed them raw meat plus rice and vegtables. We also give them our scraps and a couple of dog multivitamins a day. Plus we give them milk/water drinks in the evening.

Is there anything else wer should be doing for our dogs?

We don't give them kibble because of the quality of meat and the preservitives in it. Also with a couple of dogs we babysat the dogs would eat the meat and even the rice, but would leave the kibble. Which tells me they don't like it.

cheers.

On tuesday this week my collie lost her voice, on Wednesday same thing on Thursday she seemed really tired and did not do much but sleep all day. Ate half of her normal food. On Thursday evening I took her to the vet and they could not find anything wrong w/ her, I spent $150.00 and they drew blood, and gave her a shot. She came home still just layed around and has not barked or been her self. She has eaten and drank water. Today she has still just been laying around. She ate about half of what she normally eats. At 5:00pm today my son calls and says she is bleeding from her neck. I came hm right away and took her back to the vet, the vet shaved the area and said it was from where they drew the blood and gave her the shot and she also has a baseball size bruise where they drew blood. The vet said they did not know why she is still bleeding 24 hours later they did not do anything at the vet and just sent her home. ( the vet does not even seemed concerned she is not barking.) I went to dinner and came home she has blood all over her neck area again. I put gauze on her neck and put her collar back on to see if I can stop the bleeding. It is still bleeding any suggestions??????

My buddy is a 7 mo old Lab-mix that used to have a stomach like iron and has eaten EVERYTHING without issue. This week, on 3 consecutive days he vomited undigested food at the same exact time each day. I took him to the vet where he had the million dollar work-up that, of course, turned up nothing. Now 3 days later, on the BLAN diet, the vomiting has stopped, but he has not pooped in almost 4 days. The vet says watch him till we advance him back to full feeds, but I am nervous!! Anyone else tried pumpkin or Metamucil, as I have been reading.....or should I just wait it out???? Thanks for any suggestions!!!:confused::confused:

Hi everybody! My name is Elliot and I am from the Upper West Side of New York City where I live with my wife of a year and dog of 2 years, Lucy.

My company launched a dog walker website recently on DogWalker.com and I would love any feedback if you have some.

Looking forward to chatting!
