It doesn't seem like a year has gone by. Your year of firsts without Guinness is now done. He is a beautiful boy and angel. I'm sure he'll show Kitty the way. So sorry Kitty had to go. Sending hugs,

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope Mimi will send you a sign, so you can be at peace, too.

I am so sorry. Sending hugs...

Sounds like you have a few things going on here. Scat mats - no. I don't use penny cans either. For one of our difficult cats, I used a small squirt gun. I only needed to squirt her once or twice, and she just needed reminded with the sound. (She wasn't on the counters. She was waking me up at 4 a.m. when the birds started chirping) I think some folks use a squirt bottle for dogs, though I don't, and it would mean you need to be right there when Truman jumps up. Same for the cats. Personally, I would take the dirty dishes out of the equation. Problem solved except for the kitties. I like the clorox wipes a lot. I think they kill about everything. We like baby gates, but we've only needed them for a short time. He's a puppy and going to be one for a long time. When I trained our puppies and helped my mom train my brothers' puppies while I was still at home, we never let them out of our sight and we had regular schedules for everything. I wouldn't use belly bands on a puppy (Puppy Advice thread). I learned early that the more time I put in when they are young, the better dogs I have when they are grown. Jake came to me at 1 1/2 years old. He was pretty together when he got here, but he's still a pup and forgets proper behavior sometimes, like jumping on me when I come in the door. He is now 4 and still forgets sometimes. We still work on it. You've gotten good advice from the others, especially the puppy raisers. Good luck with Truman.

I am so sorry, Janet. Godspeed, Peanut...

I am so sorry Saint is gone. My heart hurts for all of you. We are all so much richer for knowing your sweet boy, even if for some of us, it was only through GT. Thank you for sharing Saint with us. Godspeed, sweet boy...

We did one for Red and his spleen when the vet (internist) thought he had lymphoma. I wasn't too expensive, and they sent it to Purdue. Unfortunately, he took a very bad turn for the worse the next day and we lost him. The results came back inconclusive the following day. Personally, I would not make the same choice again. I would have just treated him with the pred and loved him. Your situation is not what our situation was, but I would definately do what you are doing. I hope your little Peanut rallys very soon Hugs,

Oh, Tara, how sweet! I don't get too many, but it is so special when I do.

I am so sorry. Sending hugs,
