WE ARE REALLY BEHIND :oops: , PLEASE VOTE FOR JAKE No one at work could vote if someone else did... we are all on the same ISP, I guess... [url]http://members.aol.com/iluvpwcs/contest.html[/url]

She [i]was [/i]very lucky!

It's not taking our votes :evilbat: A friend said she and two co-workers voted and it didn't add the votes in :roll: My husband couldn't vote from his work today either????????? It's fixed!!! It's just a contest.... It's just a silly contest.... (I'm too competitive for my own good :cry: )

She is one lucky dog :angel: Love the blanket shot :D

Flurry (Maltese) is catching up!!! OH NO :-?

We are getting close!!! We can catch him :evilbat:

Hope you continue to get good news!! My thoughts are with you and Haley :angel:

[quote]Honestly I can pick up a fresh poop from one of my dogs no problem but if i pick up someone elses it grosses me out[/quote] I feel the same way!!! It's just like changing one of your kids diapers... that's fine, but others stink so bad :o We have the same problem around here, and I am afraid that dogs won't be allowed at our school field any more since there is so much!!! We always pick up after our dogs, I just don't get it!!

Thanks!!! He is now in second place!!

It didn't let me vote today :( People at work couldn't vote either... it said they had already voted, but they did not!! It doesn't look good for Jake :-? I guess I didn't pick a great picture.... HELP :D

Thanks everybody!!! :D

[quote]That dachsund is awful cute though[/quote] He is cute, and also had a lot of votes very early this morning!!! They must have started at 12:01 AM :x

[quote]How can I wote?[/quote]http://members.aol.com/iluvpwcs/contest.html click on the link and then scroll down.... Jake is the 4th one down on the left. (edited: or use the link from my posting)

He has a lot of catching up to do :-? HELP :D

[url]http://members.aol.com/iluvpwcs/contest.html[/url] Please vote for Jake. We already have a slow start :( Edited: He is the yellow lab - 4th down on the left side

Thanks Kat! I have been thinking about this a lot! I can get on our library page from home, so I'll see if I can find more too. I didn't like his initial reaction to the stimulation, he looked very scared.... but the trainer said "startled" so she is the one certifed her link is: dogsandtheircompanions.com She seems very qualifed, but one thing I did NOT like was this was the only training method she offered us :-? Thanks for the abstract!! I know he was fearful, but I am still looking for "danger" signs or long-term affects. I will look into more research too.

[quote]That shock you felt?[/quote] I couldn't feel anything for some time..... I was expecting a SHOCK, but it really wasn't. The trainer adopted out a vicious rottie and has made great strides with her in only a week. I was a skeptic too unitl I witnessed her with her dogs and mine.... I really don't know what to think. I was DEAD SET AGAINST IT unitl I witnessed the training and felt the stimulation. Kat, do you have any readings/links on the epilepsy regarding this type of training? Also, NOT to question you, but how do you know, in all honesty, how a dog feels the stimulation? Seriously.... do you have anything I can read on it????? I really don't want to hurt him!!! Thanks MajiesMom for your articles. Thanks!!!

Has anyone trained their dog with an electronic collar and trainer? If so, I would like some of your feedback. This is not (to my knowledge) a shock collar. It was tested on me and it did not shock me. Frankly, I was dead set against it until I felt it. It is more of a sensation of your foot falling asleep; a pins and needles feeling if you will. Any response - good or bad is welcomed!! Thanks- by the way, I am thinking of this for Jake. He is so high energy and hard to train - to get his attention.

I am no expert, but I would put a stop to that right away. He is going to be a big boy and you need to show him you are in charge. I would give me a firm NO when he takes anything he shouldn't and replace it right away with one of HIS possessions. He should not be allowed to growl at you in my opinion.

[quote]I think you'd better shake hands with your dogs for a while! LOL[/quote] :lol: :lol: I think you're right!!

Hey, does anybody's dogs in this cold wintery weather.... um.... eat POOPSICLES???????????? :o Needless to say with all the snow we have been having, it is a little difficult to pooper-scoop :roll: So, I have caught them eating these yummy frozen treats :oops: The other day Jake brought one in the house!!!! [size=6]AND HE IS A BIG KISSER - YUCK!!!!!!!!![/size]

YES!!! Jake tries to climb up on my lap (often) and Chelsea is just the right height so she comes up and puts her head under my left hand and wants me to pet her head.... Plus all three lay by my feet when I'm on too. Daisy is really the only one who doesn't care that much.

Thanks Leslie :D I'll post the link again on Monday

[quote]Your picture has been accepted and is scheduled to be displayed the week of Jan. 31 (barring any unforeseen circumstances). [/quote] I'm so excited! Please look for him on Monday :D Edited: I guess the link would be helpful :roll: [url]http://members.aol.com/iluvpwcs/contest.html[/url] (thanks to DivineOblivion19 for this.... got the idea from her :wink: )

Glad you got her back!!
