Hey guys! Ok, heres the dealio. Carson is a chewer. Of anything and everything. Shoes, shirts, hands, towels, pony tails, rubber toys, everything! But he prefers fabric things. What can we give him that will soothe his mouthing (we think he is a little under a year) that gave me a bruise this morning :( ! HELP! BTW- Yes we are looking for obedience classes (thanks R2) and are planning on starting asap. My dad is going by Petco today to pick up a rope bone thing, some rawhide type stuff, and a kong w/ treats. Any other ideas from people who have gone through this?

[quote name='DeafAussieLover'][quote name='kendalyn']How about PMing the rest of this conversation DAL and Baileysmom? :wink:[/quote] Why ?[/quote] lol :lol: *cough cough* hijack *cough cough* :wink: :lol:

I'm with Kat, She looks perfectly fine to me!!!

Speaking of chewers, what can I give Carson that would be safe? He loves to chew on anything fabric, and have found him to be a shoe chewer :roll: But he is still purdy puppy-ish, so we need some puppy proof chew things. HELP!!!!!!

rather off topic, but BK! I love your new avatar! too funny... :lol:

OK, i put up some pics of Carson in the Pics section! Happy now? :roll: :lol:

Well he's home! SORRY for not posting sooner, we just got home :D He is just full of puppy energy! We have decided he has 2 modes, on and off. He's met the cats, and has decided that they would be fun to chase :roll: He REALLY needs obediance training though. The only command he knows is "sit" and sometimes ignores that :roll: I'll post some pics as soon as we take them! We are wanting him to adjust a bit to the house first. Oh yes, and we would like some recomendations for trainging places (R2 you could help, scince you live in MD) or just other generic places, like Petco/ Petsmart. THANKS! WE HAVE A DOGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More good news! We are going to meet Rocky (whose name we are thinking about Carson) tomarrow! I can't wait! The foster mommy is willing to drive 2 hours and we are driving 3 and then crashing at our friends house that night (who by the way has an adorable 5 month old mini long haired dauchsund!!!) and will be bringing (hopefully!!!) Rocky/Carson with us! So I'll put up pics on Thursday somtime! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :drinking:

Hi... uhm.... Byrd. I don't believe we've met, but if everybody else is this excited I'm sure you must be purdy cool! Great to have you back!

WE GOT OFFERED A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D His name is Rocky, and he is a 1 yr old ESS! :D He is exelent with cats, dogs, and kids! :D The only bad news is is that he is being fostered 5 hours and 40 minutes away in Ripley, WV. :( But we will get there! :D Everyone wants to see him soooooo bad we are just trying to figure out when to go! :D Sorry, no pics, they dont have them on the MAESSR website. :roll: I'll post them as soon as I get them though! Pray for good luck please! :D

Hee hee, I'm 5' 4" and still growing :)

Oh gosh, thanks for the warning HF! It put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Makes me miss Mocha so much.... Thanks for sharing... :cry:

That is great, sad, but great :D :cry: Makes me be not so sad about Mocha's death. She did learn how to love and to be happy. She lived her life to the fullest. Thanks for sharing :cry:

Oh the sneaky little Goober! Good thing you didn't put the needle in! :o

I totally agree with court, go for it! And be sure to put up pics :wink:

Party! Yeah! Hard Turds! No more gooshys! :lol:

Random, but DO! I love your new siggy!

[quote name='ellieangel']No spaniels either Courtnek.......the majority of sniffer dogs here are springers[/quote] They are!?!?!? COOL! Most of the sniffers here are German Shepards and Labs.

That is soooo evil! You should report it! :o :( :cry: :x :evil:

That is so cool! It is amazing what animals can survive isn't it...

[quote name='bk_blue'] Wish it had shot off his nuts instead. :evilbat:[/quote] That makes 2 of us :evilbat:

Hip Hip Horah! So happy to hear that he's doing well. Now go give him a treat for me! :lol:

Whoa! 10 dogs! :o I'm sure they get so much loving anyway though! I can imagine how happy you must have been to see that solid turd! Thanks for the list :D

Oh geese! I'm glad to hear that Perry and Simon are doing somewhat better! OK, but now I'm confused. If you (or someone else) could go through the list of all of your dogs and if they are sick or not, that would help me. So far (I think) Perry, Simon, and Rocco are sick, right? How many dogs do you have? If you don't have time don't worry about it, I know you have alot on your plate right now. Prayers for healthy doggies and Hurricane Ivan coming your way :angel:

LOL! Looks like your doing good and loving it! That last Aussie is so cute! He (he?) even looked at the camera!
