  1. How about this one?

    Model 99/99N
    [b]Size: 54 L x 37 W x 45 H"[/b]

  2. I think what you're doing is fine. :)

    The door thing is really only something you need to do when you're trying to enforce strict order. This would be necessary with the "give an inch, take a mile" sort of dog. It sounds like Kat knows her place and can handle a little latitude.

    Same thing with the couch. As long as she gets off without a fuss, than it's obvious she knows her place and is fine with it.

    It sounds like you're doing a great job with her! :D

  3. How do you feel about what happened? You probably need to trust your instincts here. Do you think that there is a good chance (for whatever reason) this could happen again? Was there rough play involved, or was the motivation behind the bite serious? Deep down you probably know the answers.

    Once you figure out the motivation behind the bite you need to make some decisions. At the very least you need to tighten up training and start from square one with Star. No more special privileges.

  4. Why would we "calm down"? It's never going to be OK for her to do what she's planning.

    [quote name='tx2478']...i didnt see anything i could answer right off but instead of her going thru and reading some of the comments that might cause an argument if you want to post a group of questions i will ask her and answer them for her... [/quote]
    You're putting yourself in a very bad position here. Do you really want to support her actions? Let her be a big girl and deal with her own decisions.

  5. Wow. I can't belive you think dumping your dogs with strangers is a suitable arrangement for your move. With Cody's aggression issues it is a bite waiting to happen.

    Where are you getting all these Poms from anyway? Most rescues don't keep handing out dogs like that.

    I'm wondering if somone should be issuing a Do Not Adopt warning...

  6. I think as long as you're willing to spend time with the dog when you are not at work, you'll be fine.

    A retired greyhound is a good idea. You could also check some rescues and look for older dogs. Perhaps a dog over the age of 7. The rescue would have a good idea of the dog's exercise requirements. Older dogs are usually harder to adopt out and deserve loving homes as well. :-)

    Good luck!

  7. Do you guys know what happened over there? (maybe I'm not supposed to talk about this)

    I used to read a lot at PBF because there were such knowledgeable people that posted regularly. Now all the good posters are gone... Is there a reason for the mass exodus?

  8. You are young and will have lots of years to own whatever kind of dog you want. I think it would be a very good idea to be happy with whatever your mom allows.

    If it were a choice between a lab or no dog at all, would you really choose not to have a dog?
