I use to look at the gallery and the different breeds and such. But now all I do is POST POST POST!!! I don't mind though. It's very addicting... by the way, I think I need like 300-400 more posts to become a Dogomaniac. That's alot!!! lol.

My dogs dig like there's no tomorrow!!! So, we gave them a "designated digging spot" but they dig anywhere but there!!! lol. Rocky also loves to hop into my window sill (my room's in the basement) and paint my window with nose prints. lol.

I didn't mean to bad mouth the farmers... it's just all the cattle prices and crap is very boring to me. If I had to grow my own food I think I'd die. I can barely cook let alone grow food with two dogs around!!! lol

Jez, never heard of such a thing. Didn't think people actually cheated that bad. Can't wait to hear the out come. Plez post it cause otherwise I'll never find it out. My stinkin newspaper up here only talks about crappy farmer shit. Very boring, and nothing of importance to me. *sigh*

[color=blue][b]HELLO!!![/b][/color] I'm not a breeder, but I do love dogs. Well, duh. Otherwise I wouldn't be on this site now would I? lol. When I had my GSD, I use to hook him up to a plastic cart and let him pull it down the street. He loved it, and we did it a lot. Right before he died (he only lived to be a year old *cry*) I was starting to hook him up to a red wagon... you know, the ones that kids play in? Yeah. Nothin fancy or anything. But, It worked and was a lotta fun!!! lol

Yea. Poor girl. Hopefully (when when when!!) they'll find out what's wrong and fix it. We're all pullin for her!!!

I'm sure it'd be good- for ur dad and the dog. My Grandma use to have a Shih tzu when my dad moved out of the house. Kept her company, and kept her safe too. It's a great idea.

I'm all with yea Julie!!! You go Girl!!!

Money, shmuny!! It's all worth it if ur doggy gets all better. (thinkin about u all lots!!) I wish I could make that "if" a "when". Hey, there's a chance that it will be!!! Look on the bright side of things, It's a lot better over there... (and yes, I did make that one up myself he he he). So sorry to hear she's back to it again. I wish I knew how to help...

lol. Talk about it! Shadow needs to know just about all of um!!

Sounds like a great dog! We want PICTURES!!!!!

Dude, I just got that e-mail and posted it. Should've looked first. *bang my head on a wall* ain't it funny though?? (the post- not me perferably he he). Just so u know RnP I didn't do it on purpose. *smile*

Gee, she sounds so perfect!! Wish Shadow was more like her!!!

Shady Lady... dark, deep, sounds kinda like my dog's name (shadow). lol. I'm luving it!! I'd want my privacy too, so I can't blame you there. lol

Congratulations!!! We Want PICTURES!!! I don't think I've seen a mummified dog either. lol.

THINGS A DOG MUST REMEMBER: 1. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff. 2. I should not suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table. 3. I will not roll my toys behind the fridge, behind the sofa, or under the bed. 4. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house. 5. I will not eat the cats' food, either before they eat it or after they throw it up. 6. I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to be sick. 7. I will not throw up in the car. 8. When at the beach, I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc. no matter how good they smell. 9. Kitty box crunches, although tasty, are not food. 10. I will not eat any more Kleenex or napkins and then re-deposit them after processing, in the back yard. 11. The nappy bin is not a cookie jar. 12. My humans' toothbrushes are for the exclusive use of my humans. If they want me to have one, they'll get me one. 13. I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, so that when I throw up, my people will not assume I am hemorrhaging. 14. When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down on rainy days. 15. We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on TV. 16. I will not steal Mom's underwear and dance all over the backyard with it. 17. The sofa is not a face towel, neither are Mom & Dad's laps. 18. My head does not belong in the refrigerator. 19. I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and car registration. 20. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet. 21. To avoid having a string hang out of my butt, I will not eat mint-flavored dental floss out of the bathroom garbage. 22. I will not consider rolling around in the dirt a necessity first thing after getting a bath. 23. I will remember that sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way to greet visitors. 24. I will not fart in my owner's face while I am sleeping on the pillow next to their heads. 25. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet. 26. I will not consider the toilet bowl a magical, never-ending water supply, in spite of clear evidence that it is. 27. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when company is here. 28. I will remember that suddenly turning around and smelling my butt can quickly clear a room, and is thus to be avoided. Except when in-laws are here. 29. The cat is not a squeaky toy, so when I play with him and when he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing. 30. Even though he's too chicken to come on Sundays, the mailman WILL be back and I'll have another shot at him.

I did the survey. Gross, isn't it? I don't think that they should ban pits, I mean, yea pits CAN be mean. But so can Shih tzus, Poodles, Labs, Schnauzers (sp), ... EVERY DOG WOULD BE BANNED!!! I've never been bitin by a bully breed, but have been attacked (and to this day cannot figure out why... I was just standing there talking to the owner. No motions or anything.) by two Shih tzus. Unfortunatly, my city has banned pit bulls and so I (or anyone else in that matter) cannot have pits inside city limits. But I have three friends who live on base and they have pits who are well trained and wonderful animals. So sweet.

I have a female and a male that do the same thing. Here's some information that I've found out: Well, this goes back years and years back to when dogs were wolves.. females are alpha over males. Males usually don't care if a female is alpha over them, but they do care if another male is alpha over them. Shadow (female) is alpha over Rocky (male) and constantly reminds him of it. She does the same to him as you have discribed. I usually just ignore it, because Shadow doesn't totally hurt Rocky, but I break it up if it gets too ruff. But, since your golden has weak hips you probably want to stop this. How? I'm not sure. Eek-- never had the problem so I couldn't tell you.

Thanks for the update Julie. It's great that things are healing... slowly but shurely. And I like "compliment" too mouse. You can never truely ever replace a best friend... especially a dog.

That's too bad. The humain society I got Shadow from was pretty good about making sure she was goin to a good home. We had to sign a contract saying that we're gonna take care of her no matter what, and that we'd spay her within 6 months.. we had to fax in the vet sheet that confirmed that she was spayed... and they called to ask too.

I use plastic pet taxi's for my dogs (lab and a husky.. both 75lbs). They work great for me, because like they said it gives them a more enclosed feel and I think they feel more protected. And they're pretty easy to clean.. although I've never cleaned a wire one before so I can't compare. I'd also go with the bigger one size... that's my opinion anyways. Just incase she/he gets a little bigger. And then there's always room for toys and such to be in there too.

Oh, woops. he he. Cheetah, you're right. I was talking about the show: Amazing Animal Videos.. I think that's what it's called anyways. he he. (smart one here). I hate the other dude too. He's gay. (thanks Cheetah!) lol

Oh, that's so sad!!!

Another good reason for a dog!!! lol

You go lucky!!!
