My big difference is that Daisy wasn't crate trained. Hopefull Jake will be better and Chelsea is already better than Daisy :wink:

Welcome Clara!!! Okay: Daisy Just about all the wooden kitchen chairs, the wood work in the kitchen, the kitchen floor by the basement door, the girls' hair ties the recycling bin outside and of course, her favorite SOCKS :o Chelsea: Flip flops (loves them) my slippers Jake: Newspapers

I have ordered L-Glutamine: This is an amino acid that has shown promising results in the last few years to provide healing in the digestive system. Studies have shown it helps to repair intestinal tissue at the cellular level and it is a precursor to glutathione, an antioxidant. L-glutamine is also an aid to help restore muscle atrophy. It also induces the large intestine to remove excess water, which is helpful for dogs prone to diarrhea. This was recommended to me by someone from a nutritional site I have joined. Has anyone ever tried this?

[b]Thanks everybody!!![/b] :D

She was basically on water only yesterday. Only had a littlem pumpkin and yogurt. She would not eat anything at all last evening. So, (before reading this) I gave her some rice, pumpkin and yogurt and she ate it right up. There has been a significant change in our household - JAKE :o She has eaten a sock again :o (but I didn't know about it until after I gave her) Rawhide to eat :o A triple wammy :o :o :o How about fish oil Cassie? Any good for this?

I can't take this again!! especiall with a puppy in the house!!!! My poor baby is sick again, runny stools, now with mucus and blood! I thought I could stop it with pumpkin but she won't eat anything at all now! I guess we should go see the homopathic vet again!!!! I need a quick fix to stop it. Any other ideas?

Remember I told you about my undergrad assistant and his girl friend who rescued a pit mix? Well, he told me on Thursday that they had to take him back to the pound because he kept attacking the girlfriend's neice :( They felt really bad, and apparently, he did this a few times. When they took the dog back the shelter workers surrounded her and asked all these question...... why... what happeneded.... and she kept saying you never told me he was aggressive towards children. Then, one of the workers slipped and said "well we told you he was aggressive towards children" :evil: But they never did!!! Are they so eager to adopt out their pits that they would lie?????? I feel bad for everyone involved here!!! BTY: The dog was from a shelter in Wilmington, where there are a lot of pits/dog fighting :cry:

I saw that Bear was still there!!! Makes me mad :x I thought he really had a chance because of what that worker told me. I'm feeling a little guilty. He is really a sweet dog :oops: :cry:

WOW!!! I wonder if they took things they shouldn't have????? Maybe didn't have a legal order to seize paper work, only the dogs????

Aww.....sounds very, very cute :wink:

[quote]Oh, by the way, I'm in the yahoo raw feeding group. I just posted about feeding puppys - they are pretty good though will tare you down about feeding veggies, which I disagree with because I do beleive that veggies have their place in a dogs diet. Its worth a look though![/quote] Where do I find that? :roll:

"Raw beef marrow bones were given every 4-5 days, which gave her a very uneventful teething and helped with what I consider the most uneventful destructive chewing episodes I have ever seen in a pup." [b]Wow, got to get me some of them!![/b]

Thanks Ali!! Good to see you back!

Oh, good! I started giving him a little any way, didn't think it would hurt.

OMF :lol: That is too much!!! :o

:cooldevil: :haha: :lol:

Oh, great news!!! Very happy to hear it!!!! Poor Ben, Max will be home soon baby :angel:

Thanks, I'll check them out!

Wow, I didn't know that about the carbs!! By the way, Happy (belated) Birthday!! :bday: [size=1](today is mine)[/size]

Right back at ya Aroura :wink:

When is a good time to introduce raw meat to Jake??? Do you think it is too soon? I cut up a very small amount of chicken neck and mixed it with his puppy food. THink this is okay or too soon, or even should I give one entire meal a day of raw???????? (also posted on HH)

Hmmm....... it is a good offer Rowie, but I don't think so :lol: and yes, Aroura... just think of the power we have :evilbat: HA HA HA
