we just had a thunderstorm here... Saxo and Frodo slept/played right thru it...but Princess Sorsha made me hold her!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:

hehe thanks guys...he is very playful... but he likes to use people for teething rings...not interested AT ALL in the nylabone (sp)?...anyone have any suggestions about teething puppies? it's been a while since i had one this small

please let us know what happens at the vet...hope your baby is ok

a note on FDA approval... if i am not mistaken, the FDA has also approved ephedrine (Stackers, Yellow Jackets, etc.) for human consumption which has caused heart attacks and strokes... this combined with the PH6 example is why i would never let the FDA decide what is healthy for me or my dogs!

congrats Rowie!!!

some more interesting information regarding pits... due to their ill-deserved reputation, most airlines will not accept them for transit after the age of six months...this is extremely frustrating considering rescues can involve air travel... one of my best friends owns a very loving and non-aggressive pit...she recently purchased a house, and is having problems get home owner insurance because she owns a pit... i don't understand how people can condemn a whole breed...i owned a chow for 13 years, and as i understand it, that breed also gets a bad rap for being aggressive...in all the time i owned her, she never snapped at or bit anyone...as a matter of fact, when she was outside, if someone came up the driveway, she would bark from UNDER THE HOUSE!!!

Sorsha has gone NUTS since she's been in heat...Saxo is too young to breed (he's only 6 months old) but that doesn't stop Sorsha from trying...she mounts HIM...his head, his back, however she can get on him and he just lays there and takes it :roll: :roll: she is almost 2 now, and this is the first time she has been around another dog when she's been in heat...she is one big walking HORMONE! the new puppy comes home tonight...i would like to get everyone's opinion on how Saxo will react...since Sorsha is in heat, and Saxo has been the only male around her (even though i haven't let them mate), do you think Saxo will be aggressive against the new puppy? i hope they all get along well :-?

oh wow...i did not realise that frogs were poisonous...too bad your baby likes the taste of them...glad to hear he is doing better... we are taking our dogs to the beach soon...they are not water dogs so will probably only wade...is there anything at the beach i need to look out for? it's so hard to protect them sometimes when they are into EVERYTHING.... Saxo likes to pick up trash when we go for our walks and lug them home to the garden...we are constantly taking things out of his mouth :roll: :roll:

has your baby been vaccinated recently?? that usually makes a lump on my dogs...my vet has assured me that it is normal (he said it's just a pooling of fluid from the shot) and that it eventually goes away...

OUCH Malamum! i don't know how things are "down under" but there seems to be a lot of things available in the states that i can't get here :cry: here's something fun for anyone who is into needlepoint or cross stitch...you can send in a favorite picture of your fur babies and they can make a cross stitch pattern for you...

sorry to hear about your problem Abker... Sorsha is never snappy except when it comes to her favorite treats...but when it comes to something she REALLY likes (a pig ear comes to mind) she will snap at anyone or anything that comes near... since we have gotten a new puppy recently, we have tried everything to show the dogs that we view them as equal...i.e. if one gets to sleep in the bed, they both do... i hope your babies start getting along better...i can imagine it's tough when one seems to fear the other... best wishes

welcome aboard :D

i know what you mean about the price of stuff coming from the US, Malamum...when i order stuff, i always have it sent to a friend in the US, and she ships it to me for much less than i would have paid if i had it shipped straight to Denmark...here, if there's a declared value of less than 45$ on the goods, we don't have to pay taxes... i would like to order some of this stuff too...very cute!!!

thank GOD for the new laws in the US punishing cruelty to animals!!! my best friend owns a pit so it hits close to home...i think people who abuse animals like this have a serious tendency to become serial killers!
