Sarah, What a beautiful tribute to your beautiful girl Tuna. I am so sorry

Sarah, I am so sorry to hear about Tuna She had a greyt life with you.

It has been almost a year since Flossie left me I have not seen her in my dreams, but I think when I adopted Abel in Nov. 2 months after she left me, she came back with him. I know she sent him to me The 2 of them are so much alike

When I travel, I take bottled water and canned food to mix with their kibble. I also pack can chicken and tuna in pouches, for when they are being picky and don't want to eat. Also pack a container of grated cheese to sprinkle on their food. I also take the little individual containers of cottage cheese for breakfast and small containers of yougart for their before bedtime snack. All these foods, they eat at home. I try not to change their eating schedule when we travel.

I buy Advantage for 55 lbs and over and split one tube between 2 dogs, 65 lbs and 75 lbs. I have never seen a flea on them and I do this about every two months. I think one tube per dog is a little bit too much.

When it is in the 80's and low humidity, we walk. When it hits the 90's we don't walk. We take short trips to the back yard for play and potty.

I had x-rays done on my girl with the partial ACL tear, it didn't really show anything but the Vet, buy feeling her knee could tell it was spongy and had me feel it also, you could tell the difference in the good knee and the torn knee. The good knee felt hard.

If it is a partial ACL tear, I would start now to limit all activity for the next 10 days, until you go back to your Vet, only out for potty breaks on a leash. No walks, no steps, no getting on the couch, no excitement / moving around, no getting in the car, crate if possible. I know this sounds extreme, but my first Greyhound had a partial tear and this is what the Vet told us to do. We did this for 8 weeks and 4 more weeks of no running and she healed fine with no surgery and no problems later. When you go back in 10 days, ask your Vet about the resting versus surgery.

I am so sick of this heat I feel so bad for the pups cause we haven't been able to go to the park for our walks in weeks. They just don't understand how dangerous it is out there and everytime I get up they think we are going for a walk I guess it could be worse and we all could be shoveling tons of snow

I bath my 2 out in the yard with a hose. I put an old collar on them and attach a leash. I stand on the leash to keep them from walking away. Abel just stands there, but Kerri likes to walk around a little The yard is fenced in so after they are rinsed, I unclip the leash and they do their zoomies and roll in the grass

How many fish oil capsules do you give each one and do you have to give vitamin E with it, I heard somewhere that you have to use both.

I give Fresh Factors and Joint Health from www.springtimeinc.com with every meal. I bought fish oil capsules, but I don't know how many I should give daily, any suggestions?

Trudy & Jeff, I am so sorry to hear of Ryan's trip to the Bridge He had a great life with you both, and he will always be with you in your hearts. Godspeed Ryan

Kerri's teeth are terrible, she only has half of them. I just ordered the spray. Thanks Nancy for the tip

I also use a curry comb, works great also use a horse face brush after currying. My two's shedding is terrible this year. I got two huge piles of fur off them yesterday, and what does Abel do.... He goes outside and lays in his pile of hair, silly boy

I am so sorry to hear about Charlie, I will be praying for him

I use shampoo for puppies

Dog attacks are so scary, I have been there. Glad to hear Fast is home and healing. Kudos to your Dad for taking care of the pups.

When my two are alone in the house I baby gate them seperate rooms, no muzzles. I give them a little treat before I leave, but I wait until it is finished before I walk out the door.

When my two get runny poops I break one capsule of Metamusil open and put it in their food, seems to help firm them up.

I know you don't like the stuff that goes between their shoulders. I use Advantage, I buy the one for weight over 55 lbs. and split a tube between both dogs, they are 63 lbs. and 75 lbs. that way they aren't getting it full strength. I have been doing this for years and have never seen a flea

He's very handsome, Love his ears Congratulations

I am so sorry to hear this
