  1. I don't understand that. I have a friend that bought a dog and keeps it outside all the time, never allowed in the house. What is the point of having a dog if you can't enjoy them in your home to make them part of your home! I love having my dogs in the house, they are like my kids. except for that dog smell on these humid days, but nothing a good rug shampooing, a couple candles burning can't handle.

  2. I have experienced seperation anxiety with my 12 year old lab.golden retriever mix, he has destroyed my wall to wall carpet in my bedroom to the point of shredding it right down to the bare sub floor!! Then proceeded to scratch and tear apart my box spring!!! It is terrible!! My vet gave me ACE!! Don't ever give that to a dog! It was horrible. I gave him one pill and he couldn't even stand up straight , it was like looking at the pictures of the cows with mad cow disease!! I felt horribe, I can't even imagine what he must of thought was happening to him. I'm looking for the same advice. I have never crated either of my dogs, so that is out of the question for me. Good luck to her, it's horrible.

  3. Chubbs does it, he will open the bathroom door and if your sitting on the throne he will come over and start licking your legs. As soon as my husband gets out of bed Chubbs will plop himself on his pillow and lick it to the point I will have to change the pillow case and throw the pillow in the dryer. If I lay my clothes out on the bed, within minutes I will come back to find him in a ball on my clothes. He just loves his Mommy!!!

  4. I heard never give a dog chicken bones because they are small and could lodge. I usually give my dogs, greenies, milkbones, and marrow bones from the grocery store. I boil them also.

  5. I have read on line topics and it is more prevalant in cats than dogs but there are skin rashes that mimick ringworm.. they stated that if no one in the household has contracted it, it most likely won't happen. I spoke to my vet this morning, and the assistant said it could be anything. To use hydrogen peroxide until he sees him July 1st. At first when I told her that all he does is scratch, she says oh he's got the itchy skin thing going on. He is also on Deramaxx and they just informed me that company has it on ba ckorder and I won't be able to get anymore until the end of July. I asked her what the dog was supposed to do until then, I don't know. Unbelievable!!

  6. I was patting my 12 year old lab and felt crusty stuff under his coat, I parted his hair and noticed a round circle of red that was crusty and a clear center. He has been itching all the time. I am going to call the vet and don't have the money to dish out hundreds of dollars. If anyone has any suggestions, I am open. Also can we and my other dog catch this?

  7. Thanks for the info.. I cannot afford them on a weekly basis, that is ridiculous. I figure if everyone stops buying them they will have to lower the price. It is highway robbery. They only get them know on their birthdays, thanksgiving and christmas. Even then it's one a piece. It does help the teeth though, I brought my 12 year old yellow lab, Scrappy for his physical and the vet told me he had the teeth of a 2 year old! Can't say it's from the greenies, it's from any bones.
