Thank you. I will read it carefully

My dog has been at the vet for a few days because his leg swell after surgery. I was told that he may have thrombosis from laying for so long BUT that it is not dangerous to dogs like for people. I cannot believe that. Does anybody know anything about this????? THANKS

When my insurance company asked me if I have an alarm system I said yes - my dogs. I think we should get a discount for having dogs? A lot less break ins. What more could you ask for? But we have to pay more for having dogs or don't get insurance at all.

First let me say that I feel sorry for the kid. But he needs to be told what's right and what's wrong. I walked my dog the other day along fences and a kid showed up behind me. I said "HI". He showed me a note and told me that his ball flew in that yard and he will put a note on the door for the owner. I thought - great kid. The dogs...should be praised since they did exactly what they should do when a stranger comes into the yard.

Or the Pug rescue. Here is one website for them but they are all over [url]http://www.rescuepug.com/[/url]

By the way. Have and keep the rescue places of course but do not allow any selling or buying of exotic animals anymore. I think that would be the best and the right thing to do for all countries.

I think it should be illegal - period. These animals should be in the wild and not kept in cages. Circus shouldn't be allowed to have them either. Wasn't it last year when they found a Tiger in a department in New York? Cats and dogs are already breed to be dependent on us and want to be with us. Isn't that enough?

Unless you really know where the dog goes - never give it away for free. People just wait for that and then sell them to research labs or pit bull fighting rings. I put an add in a paper once giving away a free puppy. I got the weirdest calls. "Puppy? Can I come get it?" People did not even ask me if it is a male or a female and what breed......Amazing...

So far it is still hard. I think I put myself into a dream world for a while. Not wanting to realize that she is gone. Imagining she is with a friend. But she is not. A friend sent me an email about a Boxer needing a home. He looks just like her when I found her and it broke my heart. Not ready for that one yet.

I just put my Boxer to rest a couple of weeks ago. Many of the signs you describe sound very familiar. She had a brain tumor. I decided to let her go as long as she still had some dignity of walking on her own. She lived for protecting me, cuddling and wagging her behind. She could not do any of it anymore and she did not know what's going on most of the time. She looked so peaceful........I know it was the best I could do for her. It's never easy - No matter when the point comes.......but you have to think about her now. What would she want? What does she need? Hang in there.......

I'll always sign for a very good cause.......

If your dog is fair skinned I would recomment sun screen. They can burn just like we do. Some dogs love to drink the salt water. So you may want towatch for that - otherwise you will have a mess in the car. Have fun. My dogs used to chase the birds and waves. It was fun to watch....

I feel with you. I just put my Boxer to rest because of a brain tumor. She found me 8 years ago. Just remember. It's fun up there for dogs. They all play together. That is what keeps me going........

I agree - they should not be breed. The wolf is my favorite animal. I love them. I love the eyes. I love everything about them. But they should be protected in the wild and not brought into houses. Keep them wild instead of always feeling the need of breeding something.

So, how did you get the picture to show in the body???????? She was special - just like everybody's dog is special to them. It was the toughest thing I ever had to do but knowing that this is what she needed makes it easier to live with. Makes it easier to accept. BUT every time I am at home I think she will walk by mey at any time now. Being away from home is a lot easier!!!!!
