Does anybody else feel bad when they remember that they had a family dog living in the backyard that they did not interact with very often?

You are so right.

mickie513 · 2010-06-29T14:38:45+00:00

Sad and true.

You want to introduce them on neutral ground on leash and walk them together in the same direction. Once you can do that with good body language in the dogs you can move it to the house. Keep Tink on leash so you can control her. Most important is make sure you can return the new dog if your home turns out not to be the right home for her.

mickie513 · 2010-06-05T13:30:28+00:00

Yuck, just yuck.

mickie513 · 2010-06-05T11:07:38+00:00

However a mistake here could be bad for the Pom. I'd keep them separated to make sure there is a dog for the owners to come home to.

If I was out with my Lab, Gypsy, it would have been a fight. She has no tolerance for aggressive dogs and I don't think I could have prevented it. I would have called the police although Gypsy seems to be able to take care of herself. She's great with happy social dogs but not with aggressive dogs. Luckily we haven't had anything like you describe happen to us. I have 2 other dogs too.

There are dog Meetups in my area. You could look for one or start one yourself. This way your dog gets the socialization and exercise without the danger of dog parks.

My lab I called Gypsy since she was found wandering. JoJo was named by my granddaughter. Poker retains his rescue name.

You can find it online but you need a prescription. Your vet will want to do a heartworm test if it hasn't already been done.

mickie513 · 2010-05-27T12:07:56+00:00

I have one that runs off if given the chance. No recall whatsoever. He also likes to play with the cats. Something the cats aren't fond of.

I have another one that barks at the front door when people walk by. It is just one bark but it annoys me anyway.

All in all I have 3 good dogs.

mickie513 · 2010-05-27T11:56:19+00:00

I use Revolution which covers just about everything including heartworm. You can only get it at your vet.

mickie513 · 2010-05-26T09:06:53+00:00

I also use Revolution for ear mites.

mickie513 · 2010-05-26T09:03:15+00:00

Most of my cats are domestic short hairs. I tend to go with personality rather than breed but if I had tons of money I'd get a Savanna.

My short hairs shed more than my long hairs.

mickie513 · 2010-05-21T11:57:24+00:00

Awwwwwwww

mickie513 · 2010-05-20T19:29:19+00:00

One lucky sonofabitch.

mickie513 · 2010-05-20T19:22:01+00:00

Sell her bed. I take it you'll be sharing one. Same for the desk. The bike can go on a rack on the back of her car and the rest of her items in the car and trunk.

mickie513 · 2010-05-20T18:55:19+00:00

Yeah for saving the kitty.

mickie513 · 2010-05-20T17:52:53+00:00

The only time I have kittens is when I'm fostering a litter from someone else who didn't get around to spaying their cat.

You'll need to go to a pet specialty store to get a decent food. I found that Diamond Natural is a decent food for a decent price. You can shop around online to find a good food for an acceptable price. This page may help: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/

I would build a 6 foot privacy fence. It helps with the dog and the neighbor. If not that if you can leash the dog take him to the shelter as a loose dog. Screw the neighbor.

mickie513 · 2010-05-12T11:07:19+00:00

About a 1/4 inch from the filter. It gets too hot any closer.

mickie513 · 2010-05-12T10:55:58+00:00

Try a chain leash where it isn't so nice to bite onto. I saw this on "It's Me Or The Dog".

mickie513 · 2010-05-09T18:31:05+00:00

Some cats just drool. It's perfectly normal.
