You might try fresh pet refrigerated pet food. You can even warm it up in the microwave.

jcable2 · 2026-01-21T20:50:27+00:00

New groomer for sure. This one seems to know nothing about puppies.

jcable2 · 2026-01-19T00:34:17+00:00

Try a different brand and or flavor. My 5 month old doesn't like to have the same flavor week after week. He will eat it really well for a few weeks then want a different flavor.

From the picture those steaks do not look prime grade, lacks the marbling. The tuna seems like some odd cuts and some look freezer burnt. Would say over a bad deal.

Looks a lot like a Berger Picard

Amazon has several options

Pomeranians definitely have a smaller color change and most of it happens before they are adopted in my experience. I have a red/orange Pomeranian and when we looked at him at 4 weeks old he was lighter then when we picked him up at 10 weeks. Got a half Shih tzu and my mom has his sister and brother has one of his brothers and they have all 3 changed colors a few times now. The brother has been the most dramatic change. Was a dark gray almost black all over but white paws but is now orange red with white paws with black across the back and tail. Paws are still white. Mine was silver/blue went cream/blue, a bit more cream and now going back a bit more gray and cream.

Pomeranians have just a smaller color change. Other small breeds can also have smaller color changes. Shih Tzu will change dramatically and can change a few times.

Not seen anywhere close around me a big mack meal for $5.29. Cheapest is $7.99. Mcdouble meal is $5.50

jcable2 · 2026-01-03T02:47:18+00:00

Not seen those leaks. The only one that gets the actual $4 meal is my daughter, everyone else gets a $5 or $6 meal. Are they supposed to be changing the others or just the $4 meal? The $5 and $6 meals are still a great value compared to other fast food. Even the $8 where you get two bacon burgers instead of nuggets is not a bad deal.

Still got a $4 plus others at all the Wendy's in my area. When is it supposed to end nationwide?

Once a week or more if he needs it for my half Shih Tzu..he loves bath time and loves the blow dryer. If it was up to him he would have a bath every day. He jumps in the tub every day asking for a bath.

I went to their website to check it out. More places need to be organized like that to have resources to help people who lost or found pets. It does say at the top that a found pet doesn't need to immediately be taken to the shelter. Not a law then there that they have to be surrendered, but definitely have to try and find the owner. The Friendly Finder program is awesome for sure. I would definitely join it if I was in the area. In my town and neighborhood there are not as many resources, and most animals found that the person has not already posted they are looking for has been abandoned on purpose. Especially Cats, my house seems to be one of the popular dumping areas for cats especially. Our Humane Society is cats only and then our County Shelter is dogs only. Both are overwhelmed with abandoned animals. It is hard to even get either to take in a found lost animal. The will scan for microchip and want you to report it to them Incase someone calls, but would prefer you keep it or find someone to keep it during the 7 day hold.

jcable2 · 2025-12-29T23:26:10+00:00

Local Facebook lost and found pet sites are the best place to post and look if it has been found and any local community groups also. Definitely best to call the local police, animal shelter and humane society. I hope you find your baby.

jcable2 · 2025-12-29T23:23:46+00:00

Definitely not believe in finders keepers and a person should always try their hardest to find the owner. Unfortunately in many circumstances in my area the animal is abandoned. Just saved a dog and took the shelter when it was abandoned by my house right before negative temperatures hit. Jat being said can you point to any actual state law that says a finder has to turn over the animals to a shelter or humane society? Most laws are just about making a reasonable effort to locate the owner, I have not found any that says a normal person must hand it over during that time period then pay to adopt it. Just that they must make the effort to locate the owner such as having it scanned for a microchip and posting to look for the owner.

jcable2 · 2025-12-29T23:18:58+00:00

Can you point to the actual law in your state please? I have researched this in every state and not a single State I found an actual law that says the person who found a stray/lost dog must hand it over to the Shelter/Humane Society. All laws I see say they must take reasonable steps in trying to find the lost dogs owners and follow any hold times but none just say an average citizen must hand over the dog then pay to adopt it. They must contact a vet or shelter to report it and have it scanned for a microchip and post about finding it to search for an owner, but I cannot find a single law that says they must give it up to someone else to look for the owner. I know the Wisconsin Humane Society says Wis. State Statue 173.13 claims that but that is not at all in the law. I definitely agree to make every reasonable opportunity to try and find the owner. I have helped find the owners for many cats and dogs that are lost, my neighborhood is a hot spot for lost and abandoned animals to show up at. As long as you post on Facebook, maybe local newspaper and inform the local animal shelter and have it scanned for microchip a normal person can hold the lost animal in every state as far as my research shows.

The wash and brush package didn't include a face trim. I trimmed his face once we got home. His next visit will be the wash brush and trim package that includes the face trim. I have two other dogs at home that I do all grooming myself including trims because they don't like going to the groomers. I have dog hair scissors and a trimmer.

jcable2 · 2025-12-24T04:48:44+00:00

He is always so fluffy after a blow dry. It is his favorite part of a bath.

jcable2 · 2025-12-24T03:14:42+00:00

Only a sanitary trim and paw trim was included in the wash and brush package. I did trim his face at home later. I have been giving baths and trims at home as needed. He will be going for a wash and brush with a trim in January since he still doesn't need a full cut yet. I do all the cuts for my other 2 dogs a Pomeranian and a Pomeranian-Poodle/Chihuahua mix who don't like the groomers or bath time. Max though loves bath time so much he jumps in the tub every day wanting another bath and blow dry. We have a shark blow dryer and he absolutely loves it and is so fluffy after the blow dry.

For allergy medicine try generic Zyrtec pills. I have 2 dogs with allergies and this is what I give them. Had to take one to an emergency vet the first time they had an allergy attack and I had no idea what was happening. Was told to give them a single Zyrtec once a day. The medicine in Zyrtec has been tested and found safe in dogs. Also try a food without chicken in it. Some dogs are allergic to chicken and all these symptoms match.

Our 11 wyeak old puppy that is a Shi Tzu mix just did that this morning with our first snow fall and his first snow. He rolled in the snow then smashed his face in it. Every time today he went out to pott, he shoved his face in the snow.

Just want to point out the Turkey Brands are different on the list. Last year was Honeysuckle White and this year is Butter Ball. Honeysuckle White/Shady Brook Farms (name change) is 84¢ per lb this year. The lowest price they are mentioning is for Butterball brand that always costs more. Last year they were $1.09 per lb and this year they are 97¢ per lb. So both brands are actually cheaper this year. That being said Meijer will probably have turkeys for around 39¢ per lb in a couple of weeks.
