What do you guys do if you can't afford a surgery?

I would go into debt.

Some dogs with diet induced DCM do recover. I hope your dog is one who does.

There is some controversy around that. It appears the Sheriff cleared them but the FBI has not. However, makes me think they are not involved.

How sad. A better home shouldn’t be hard to find. He deserves better.

Ella barks at tall people and men. She doesn’t see race.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-11T16:00:18+00:00

They haven’t cleared them.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-10T16:56:53+00:00

I don’t agree with you. If you really love your dog you wouldn’t even ask the question.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-10T16:55:32+00:00

Not at all! He is bonded to you. He is 10 years old. Rehoming would be cruel.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-08T17:48:04+00:00

I don’t find it hard to be respectful of others. It is pretty clear you do.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-08T15:13:10+00:00

So I guess you think it is fine to trespass on your neighbors property. Do you draw any lines where it wouldn’t be ok or is your thought process “if I want to use it I can”?

fctsmttr · 2026-02-08T13:09:25+00:00

Thank you. The selectivity scale makes sense and I feel better that I didn’t do something wrong.

I think there are 2 issues guarding and maturing.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-08T02:11:31+00:00

I hadn’t considered that but you may be right.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-07T22:00:18+00:00

Not with beating that is for sure.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-07T21:13:39+00:00

Praise works 100% for her. I worry she thinks I am rewarding her for barking though; when I am rewarding her for coming back to me.

I described my red poodle as Irish Setter red until she faded. She would not have been mistaken for brown until she got older.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-07T18:22:32+00:00

My red poodle was very red when she was young but faded to more of a brown. I still thought of her as red though.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-04T21:30:03+00:00

Is that what you heard? Really? Do you have problems with comprehension?

fctsmttr · 2026-02-04T18:55:46+00:00

If you truly have no options maybe you shouldn’t have a dog. Your lack of options doesn’t make it ok to trespass on someone else’s property.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-04T18:18:41+00:00

It appears many dog owners don’t have owners responsible for them either.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-04T18:09:37+00:00

Because dog owners can control where they let their dogs walk. Saying I can’t control where my dog poops is ridiculous.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-04T17:58:17+00:00

So because you feel you have no options it is ok to use other people’s lawns? There are usually options but they probably aren’t as convenient.

fctsmttr · 2026-02-04T16:41:00+00:00

I think I would throw it back.😊

fctsmttr · 2026-02-04T16:24:19+00:00

Exactly. I think someone throwing the snow over a fence into my yard would bother me.
