  1. Excellent advice. I implemented the NILIF program with Trolley after a few growls/snaps. It worked wonders & our relationship grew stronger. Best wishes...
  2. My sweet girl Nevada......and my wonderful Dad. Miss them both very much.
  3. I use the WWW harness with Trolley. She's very shy & in the beginning kept backing up. I was afraid that she would back out of her martingale. She wears the harness everywhere, including riding in the car & seems very comfortable. It gives me peace of mind.
  4. I switched to this too but from the Costco lamb & rice & noticed a big difference in Trolley coat. She loves it too!
  5. I don't think that it unreasonable at all to crate her. You're doing the safest thing.
  6. Totally agree with this! Too many privileges too soon. Got to establish your pack order & have her realize that you are Alpha. When you say get down you mean it.
  7. In my opinion the human bed is a privilege given by you. You need to set the ground rules right from the beginning. I can say that because Trolley & I had a couple of disagreements over this when she first arrived. Including the growls & getting snapped at as you've described. She now knows that she has to be invited up on the bed & knows "off" very well. Someone here suggested putting her collar & leash on when I needed her to move which was a great suggestion. More space between you & the snapping teeth if it happens again. She'll learn quickly. Good luck!
  8. Trolley gets the eye boogers too!
  9. Trolley loves trachea! I get mine from Sue @ EFC Pet Supply (FritoFeet).
  10. Just something to keep in mind if the other tests come up negative.....Cushings Disease. Nevadas first signs were hair loss & sudden incontinence. Hoping that its a simple issue.
  11. I'm so sorry. I understand your fondness for Manx kitties. I was owned by one that lived to be 19 years old. I hope my Misha met your kitty at the bridge.

    Nooooo....that's not fair! Rest well big boy!
  13. Same here. Trolley started to refuse to eat the Lamb & Rice, so we switched to the Natures Domain. She loves it.
  14. She taught us all such wonderful lessons.....I will miss her.
  15. Hope things are going well with Gordon. Sometimes it just takes time....LOTs of time. Trolley has been with me for 2 years & she is finally becoming affectionate. She's a very shy gal & is finally trusting me. It's worth the wait. I've loved her from day one & the love gets stronger.
  16. I feed once a day, in the evening when I get home from work. Trolley has gotten into a nice pooh schedule. She usually poohs twice a day- once before I leave for work & once at night after her dinner. I do give her a few treats in the morning to fill an empty tummy. This schedule works well for her. She's usually happy to eat, but not acting like she's starved.
  17. My bridge girl Nevada had several problems with her dew claws & they were quite painful. Yes, she tended to be a drama queen, but these truely seemed painful. Had I known what a pain they were going to be I would have had them removed during her spay.
  18. I've been snapped at by both of my hounds, but never bitten. Each incident was totally my fault & totally stupid on my part.
  19. For Trolley it was the magic of pizza crust. She learned in about 5 minutes...
  20. She was stunning. God speed dear girl....
  21. Greg- did you get any response to your email to CostCo? I've thought of switching Trolley to the grain free, but was concerned about causing tummy issues. She has done perfect on the Lamb & Rice...wht ruin a good thing, right? I'm assumng there shoud be less pooh with the grain free, but will I cause runny pooh??
  22. I also dehydrate the treats that I make. Makes them nice & crunchy & they last forever.
  23. Interesting.......Trolley eats the Kirkland Lamb & Rice and has been less then excited about eating lately. I've had to add veggies. She's usually a real chow hound too. I'm interested to see if Greg gets a response from CostCo.
  24. Oh lordy.....I've seen it all now!
  25. No way, no how, never again will I buy another food product that is made in China.
