I would use a high grade Melaleuca alternifolia oil-it's a gentle, natural solvent, besides being antifungal and antibacterial, it's also great as a defense against fleas! Darcy   MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE*

After reading Melissa's story about Jude I decided not to take Louis to the 'Pet Show' on the base here in The Netherlands. Being a beautiful BMD he would have won anyway!!! :) I've been walking him in some very dense woods early in the morning and then again at about 10.30 at night when it be

Let's hope this will prove to be such a bad experience for the pet store owner that they won't sell "burners" in the future. If this pup is three months old and they have discounted the price, they already have the carrying costs of keeping their "inventory" for at least one month. We know this is

Farewell to Bodhi

2003-07-21 Thread Richard Ray
We let our friend Bodhi go last week. I haven't been on the list much since it became clear that there was nothing to be done to reverse his condition. Over the last 2 1/2 years ago he had two strokes. Over time he lost the strength and coordination in his back end, and severe arthritis in the elb

Internet works in finding homes for rescues

I put together this webpage for our latest Berner rescue and 3 days later, there are nearly 300 hits on that page. I would encourage other clubs to use this method. It has worked very well for all our rescues, they find homes quickly when people are able to see many photo. The better the photo,

Hi Andie, How old is Steamboat? Puppies and young dogs will lick the faces of the dominant bitch in the house as a mark of respect:-) They don't do this with the males. I have a "humble harry" bitch who is always trying to give me big sloppy kisses and she pulls a soft goofy face when doing this a

Hi Lynn, I'm going to assume you went to see your regular veterinarian who may not be a board certified orthopedic specialist? I would urge you to seek the opinion of such to put your mind at rest. I had one of my puppies come up lame and the regular vet filled the owner's head with a variety of p

Hi All, Just wanted to comment on this: " However, I have decided on the new (2004) Toyota Sienna mini-van. The passenger windows do go down, the AC is in the back, AWD is available. It is wider than most vans so could fit 2 crates side by side and still have the back seat or fold down the back

Dear Richard and Terry, You have clearly given Bodhi everything there is to give, especially love. The decision to let him go must have been wrenching and you were so compassionate to do it. I often wonder as I read these posts if I will be so strong when our turn comes. I wish there was a way t
