Hey thanks TDG for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea. It sounds realy cool, hopefully I can go...maybe I can con my freind into going, she needs some good dog education. :lol:

[quote name='courtnek']Just to be careful....a few things to check. Is Zebra drinking more than usual? and/or losing weight? and is this unusual or has he always been this way? The reason I ask is that dogs can become diabetics, and the first symptoms are excessive drinking and excessive urination. After a while of this, you will notice him starting to lose weight. If any two of the three fit Zebra, take him to the vet and have blood work done. It's a simple test to determine if he is diabetic or not.[/quote] Zeb has always drank allot of water, ever since he was a pup. I'm not worried about anything being medicaly wrong with him because he has had blood workd done, his tyroids checked and the whole nine yards. But I did get a good laugh at this: [quote] and/or losing weight?[/quote] I wish! Litter bugger needs too loose 7 lbs! :lol: :roll: Ahh well it's good to know that Zebra has an 'average' peeing schedual. :lol: [quote]Webby lifts his leg???? Okay, he's younger then Coal right? Cuz I'm pretty sure he is and am begining to think my dog's a gay boy He STILL squats [/quote] :lol: Hey now Zebra still squats and he is almot 2! Why in the world do you want him to lift his leg...I find it so much easier when they squat. By the way when was Coal neutered?

Everyones posts made me laugh. Zebra does something similar. I'll sit on the floor and he will stick his face right next to mine and start to lick me. Then he will bring me a toy and just lay down next to me. It realy is very cute. :D

Zebra would be Tigger. He is the same colour of Tigger and he bounces all over the place when anyone comes home. :lol:

I have a pee pee question! :lol: Zebra pees abour 6-7 times a day. Is that too much? And it's not like it's a little bit, it's a LOT! So is there an "average" amount of times you dog pees in one day?

Just curious but why did you decide against getting another dog? I realy hope it isn't because some troll....err I mean guests said anything to put you off.

Oh that is so wonderful!! I'm so happy for you and him! :P He is so handsome!!! I just LOVE his ears!!! :angel:

I'm so so sorry. *hugs* Just remember that she will always be with you in spirit no matter what.

Ok this is going to sound sooo dumb..but have you considered "alternative" treatments like accupuncture? Zebras trainer swears on it...says it's the best thing since sliced bread. :lol:

No- Well not yet. I plan on Volenteering at my local humane society as soon as I get my driver license. So hopefully in the next month and a half. I eventualy want to work for he SPCA and make saving animals my life career. :D And of course my dog is a rescue. :P

Oh *sniff sniff* that is such wonderful news. I'm so happy that he is getting along well with everyone. :P HF your such an :angel: .

[quote]are classes offered at petsmart reliable?[/quote] It realy depends on the trainer. Petsmart will usually have 2 or more trainers working at one location. Petsmart trainers are required to fallow a certain guideline with training but each person handels dogs differently. I've noticed that some trainers get along better with people then the dogs themselves and some trainers get alone better with the dogs then the people. Petsmart isn't a bad place to get your dog trained (at least I don't think so). There are allot of noises and other dogs, it realy helps your dog focus on only you. I would go to petsmart and just watch how the trainers interact with the dogs and the owners. Look at there style of training and talk to them after the class is over. You should get a good sense of what they are like, and if you don't feel comfortable with the trainer for any reason don't go there.

:o What the heck is that?! Carol what "breed" are they claiming that to be?

[quote name='courtnek']do you have issues with yuor neighbors? Definitely see if the police can get the pills tested.[/quote] That's just the thing my neighbors on the left of us are an older Asian couple and they are nice and the neighbors to our right are nice to us too, they don't speak very good english but they say Hi when we are out side and say Hi to Zebra when they see him with me. And Zebra has never snapped or barked at any of our Neighbors and pooped in anyone elses lawn. There is no reason for anyone to want to hurt him. :-?

WOOOHOO!! Congrats!! :P I can't think of a better home for him to go to! :D

Well I'm perty furious right now. I think someone might be trying to poison Zebra. Today I found 4 pills on our lawn. This wouldn't be such a big deal if this was the first time that there have been pills on our lawn, but it's not. About 3 weeks ago my mom found about a dozen white unmarked pills on the parkway in front of our lawn and today I find the exact same pills on our lawn, unmarked and white. The other thing is that they were ground into the lawn with grass thrown over them. It looks like someone stepped on them because one of them was broken up into small peices. I picked them up (with gloves) and put them in a bag. My mom works with people that are police officers so she is going to ask them tomarrow what we can do if anything. And hopefully one of them can pull some strings and get them tested or something. The thing is most medications wheather it be over the counter or perscription are always marked, always! So why arn't there any marking on these pills? It's just too weird. :-?

Well his name is Lucky so I'm sure he will be just fine. :wink: :P Fingers and paws crossed for you!

I have a 2 1/2 year old rabbit named Nibbles. I also had a 2 year old hamster that I had to put down because she had cancer. :(

I'm so sorry. :cry: *Hugs* Just remember that Holly is in a place now where she will be happy forever and nothing will ever happen to her. She is looking down on you and Boomer right now. You take care of yourself and Boomer and know that we are here for you. RIP Holly, run free. :angel:

Is that the episode with the whale blubber, and it shows how people store it and let it rot??? Because I nearly threw up when watching that show. :-?

Great JOB!!! Way to go Bella! :P

Good luck tomarrow. Show them what a wonderful dog Laurel has become and try not to kill anyone ok.. :wink:

[size=6][color=red]Good Luck Bella!!![/color][/size] :angel: :P

[quote]starfox, which beach did you go to? huntington dog beach or somewhere up in malibu? usually i either drive up to malibu, or to surfer's point in ventura but would like to check out that dog beach in huntingtron beach someday.[/quote] Hey TDG, I went to the Huntington dog beach. It was realy nice but kinda hard to get down on the ocean, there are allot of ciffs, but it's realy nice once you get down on the beach. Oh by the way I didn't know you lived in CA! :lol: I don't know if there are any dog beaches in the chicago but here is the site that helped me find the dog beaches in CA. It is a WONDERFUL site, it tells you the hotels, beaches, parks, attractions, transportation and resturaunts that you can take your dog too. They are all listed by state and they even have some places in Canada. [url]http://www.dogfriendly.com/server/travel/guides/us/cityguides.shtml[/url] Enjoy! This site is a lifesaver!!! :P

Ok I have a flea and tick comb for zebra but it's so small, like the kind you would use for a cat or small animal. It's realy hard for me to use and the teeth on it are too short and all they do is manage to pull out the undercoat. So do they make bigger flea and tick combs??? Maybe one with longer teeth and a decent handel on it?? Does anyone know where I could find one? I have looked threw all my dog catalogs and been threw petsmart a million times looking for something that would actually reach Zebra's skin and not just pull out all the hair. I'm going nutz not being able to find what I need! :-?
