I also have a dog that likes hot sauce:
His dad enjoys hot sauce on just about anything. As a pup, Tucker came
over to investigate dad's food and tentatively licked at the
plate. Because there was a big puddle of hot sauce where he was licking,
we figured it would be a strong negative
Oh Anne, I was going to write to the list that I think THIS is why gay
tails are a fault!!! grin Nothing to do with structure or appearance...
Tucker, my big tall boy with a high gay waggy tail, recently walked by the
kitchen table when it had a tray of paint on it (I was doing the ceiling)
Have fun!

Cessi loves her cars and will go in any car with anyone, pretty much - car
rides mean we are going fun places, like the office (fun for her), the
cottage, a special park etc. She especially loves to go with her dad on
short trips in his car to the general store - these are special just Cessi

For seats, if you can, I would recommend leather in a heartbeat -
especially if you have to occasionally transport humans too. It cleans up
so quickly and easily; fur never sticks to it and mud, drool etc wipe off
easily. I had fabric in my two previous trucks and wouldn't go back to
that -
What about using melamine for the box so that all surfaces are easier to

Cessi would like to wish her mommy a very happy 11th birthday!!!
Wow - 11. Here's hoping Cessi takes after her mom in this way as she does
in so many others - the tail wagging and nose nudging Angela mentioned are
both formidable!
Happy birthday Brixi!!! (and many more...)
Love,

I think dogs definitely distinguish between breeds.
Bowie, a golden I loved, and his owner were attacked by a husky running
loose in the dog park (without an owner) - the husky attacked Bo first,
then when Mike went to separate the dogs, he bit Mike.
From that point on, Bowie could not go into
Any recommendations from the list regarding a good positive training book
for a precocious 9yr old?
I remember reading Carol Lea Benjamin's _Dog Training For Kids_ when I was
his age (taking it out from the library for months on end), and wonder
what's out there these days that would be good.
Has anyone on the list purchased a wedding cake topper of berner
figurines? If so, were you happy with it and how much did they look like
berners (as opposed to a general dog figurine painted berner colours)?
I'm asking because I have come across a couple in my search, but no photo

great sense of humour. There
Why does Tucker bark at the doorbell sound on TV???
I don't have a doorbell - this is not learned by excitement of people
coming to door.
A friend's dog also taught him to bark at dogs on TV - fortunately this is
limited to a small woof... (and he doesn't bark at The Chipmunks, cat food
This was one of my favourite parts of puppyhood. Tucker almost always had
the hiccups when he woke up from a nap. Too cute!
Don't know when exactly they went away - probably by six months? About the
same time he stopped *looking* so much like a puppy.

Also, hiccups..he has them every

Don't be surprised if your boy has a pained expression on his face or even
lets out a 'yip' when he retracts, it can be bit uncomfortable. A good
I would think your vet is either out of date, or doesn't have the
technology/experience with microchips. More and more places have scanners now.
Your dog would not need to be anesthetized! It's just like getting a
vaccine - the needle is large, but no larger than a good sized IV
needle.
I love my flexis, especially for long walks in areas like conservation
areas and hiking trails where the dogs must be leashed, as they do allow
the dogs to sniff and act like dogs without walking right beside me the
whole time - but I have found that I need to replace them after about a year.
FWIW - I like Innova and my dog did well on it.
My cats did not. I fed Iams to everyone for five years, but switched after
learning more about Innova. About a year after I made the switch, one of
my cats became VERY sick with bladder stones and required surgery. About
the same time another
I had the pleasure of taking my two crazy kittens (now three year old wild

Back around the time that I first brought Tucker home, someone posted to

You can also order nylon collars with your name and phone # embroidered
right into the collar (big block letters obviously). My old vet had order
