Hobbit

Is he actually barking AT something, or is he just barking? If he doesn't bark when you are out there ....... it sounds like he could be a fear barker. He's just letting the world know that he's there and they better not come around or he'll ...... pee on himself.

That pizzle is big enough to POKE......someone's eye out!

Lung? You asked LUNG.....when there's a 10 - 12 INCH PIZZLE that comes with it!?! ....girl, girl, girl --- Where ARE your priorities!? :lol: :lol:

:o :o :lol: :lol: Here's one: Smoked Kabob - Beef lung on a beef pizzle skewer, 10-12" ( :o ), $4.98.

BEEF PIZZLES: 100 FOR $52.05 OR a package of 6 for $2.85 from Jeffers Vet Supply --- [url]www.jefferspet.com[/url] or 1-800-jeffers YUMMY

A dog stays in confinement because it wants too. Kelpies are notorious for climbing like a monkey --- it's a characteristic. We have 6 foot fences and some of the 5 month old Kelpie pups can scale it like a lizard! A single strand of electric fence (pet strength only) works wonders.

:lol: :lol: I got the mental picture of them smoking a cigarette afterwards!! :lol:

The entire cycle lasts normally between 21 to 28 days. If the bleeding is heavier than normal (like a stream), I would contact a veterinarian. All bitches are different. Some bleed more heavier than others. Some you would never know they were in heat. Some cycle longer than others, some seem to only cycle a few days, some seem to NEVER be out of heat. Some clean themselves better than others. The first heat is sometimes called the "trash" heat and it may be different from all the rest upcoming heat cycles. Boy, that wasn't anything to look forward too, huh?!?

There is something definately to the classical music! A CD playing ocean waves will put a kennel of dogs sleep and makes them calmer. Classical music is calming and the dogs are so much at peace. My family owned a large horse ranch and I continued the breeding operation for several years afterward. I played Classical Music in the stallion barn, the mare parol and foaling barns. Those were some mello horses. One stallion like Mickey Gilley and HATED Rock music. If someone turned the station to the Rock --- he was one mad hombre. He'd be so angry, he'd try to stomp the living daylights out of anyone in his path. When Classical or Mickey Gilley was playing, he was the sweetest and easiest stallion to handle.

This is going to sound a wee bit hateful, but it's not meant to be. First -- she is 4 months old, that is 16 wks, or approx. 120 days old. She has been in this world for ONLY 120 days! There is a whole exciting world out there --- smells, sounds, things to do and she is stuck in a crate for 16 hrs a day. SHE IS BORED AND FULL OF ENERGY! Nothing is going to "WORK" until she gets OUT OF THE CRATE more. She doesn't want to listen because she has her own agenda and that is to burn off some energy and do something, anything before it's crate time again. Gooeydog and everyone else that have replied to your posts have had some really good, no GREAT, ideas and training technique's. It mostly boils down too......she is a baby, she needs MORE time to play and LESS time in the crate for an extended period of time. I know you dont' want to hear this, but babies take time, patience and sometimes MOST of your time, if not all of a person's time. If a person wasn't or isn't (or can't) willing to devote the time needed then....they shouldn't have a puppy. Yep, that was brutal --- I'm just thinking of the pup. From your previous posts, it is apparent that your family are NOT dog people. Why did you get a puppy now (knowing that YOU would be the sole caretaker)? Never mind, that is none of my business and is borderline nasty on my part. I'm just looking at it from the puppy's point of view. I assume your building doesn't have an elevator?

I have worked so hard to get Koda not to jump up.... so today my daughter said MOM WATCH.... I thought she had taught him some cool trick.....she crouches down, and -- yep -- he jumps UP [b]just the thing we have been trying to STOP FOR MONTHS. [/b] :roll: [size=2]I didn't even bother to address it. I am so disgusted![/size] :roll: :([/quote] Oh noooooo, Miss Kitty doesn't "jump-up". She climbs on the highest point and jumps-down (pounces), like a cat. She is extremely athletic and likes high places, the higher the better. She waits for her unsuspecting victim to walk by.......then pounce. She takes great delight in this. One thing you do is make sure you know where she is before you walk by the hay stack or round bales of hay. :wink:

Socks are softer. [size=2]No, I have never used socks. Just been told this. [/size]

Yeah, poor dog. The mailman cracked me up!

[quote name='gigishiba'][quote name='Hobbit']:o the smell from running out of toilet paper?[/quote] [size=6][color=blue]LOL!!!!!!![/color][/size]No, silly, the SHEEP FIXIN'S![/quote] Oh.....it was comparable to running out of toilet paper smell. It reaked.

I think it was supposed to be an Irish Setter.

:o the smell from running out of toilet paper?

Oh, I see. Well, I've seen that show about a dozen times----but never seen it completely at one sitting. Always, see the last part or the first part or the middle --- something comes up and I miss 1/2 of it. But I have seen it all....just NOT at the same time.

Man, I HATE running out of toilet paper. I did see some "Sheep Fixin's" at the store. They did not smell nice, so that's where they stayed!

[quote name='gigishiba'][quote name='Hobbit'][quote name='gigishiba']I just watched Funny Farm.....[/quote] :lol: :lol: :lol: That was a really pretty place when it snowed.[/quote] A great place, other than the dead man in the back yard.......I can handle the horse...[/quote] :o what horse? Did I miss the horse?

Okay...2 in the morning and the dog wakes you up demanding Pizzle! So, being the kind person that you are and being as you love your dog --- you go take ol Fred to the all night pet store. On the way there, you are speeding because Fred here is very DEMANDING....upon being stopped, the kind officer asked you what your hurry is? With a straight face, "Going to get ol Fred here, a big ol Bull prick, officer". Alllllrighty then. Definately a mentally disturbed person here, better save the dog. He finds some reason to arrest you, the dog is "saved" and sent to the pound. The other dogs ask him what he's in for? Fred replies -- I'm a victim of an addiction to bull pricks. Everyone sympathizes with him, for they are too. Back at the jail house --- the ol master is asked what he's in for? He replies, "I was on the way to get my dog a bull prick", where he promptly gets the crap beat out of him! What can I say? It's raining!

[quote name='"Mei-Mei"'][quote] if you're not careful about what you order in a restaurant, you'll get a plate full of pizzle balls! Remember that at lunch! :o[/quote] Oh yeah, baby! Big ol plate of calf or sheep fries --- YUM-MEEEE.

[quote name='deepseasnake']what is "bifurcated" :-?[/quote] Yep, Gigi sumed it up pretty well. Can you use your imagination on which part of the anatomy is split? I found a very graphic and disgusting website if anyone feels the need to see pictures.

Oh, the countless men with coon pricks in their hat band! Yep and a bull penis as a walking cane > such civilized individuals. AND if they get stranded on a desert island ---- you knew this was coming....THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO SNACK ON!

Isn't it amazing that these little 30 to 40lb dogs can knock a grown person off their feet! I've had a busted nose, black eye, bruises, lacerations, punctures, the wind knocked out of me, my feet taken out from under me, and knocked plum silly by dogs that weigh 40 to 50lbs. Miss Kitty (20lbs), the amazing diving dog, when she catches me off guard (which she loves to do) and does her "I love you jump", she can knock the wind out of you. I NEVER know or see it coming --- she just laughs and thinks it so hilarious...I do NOT see the humor in it, at all. [size=2]Working hard to re-direct this behaviour. [/size]
