  1. So sorry for your loss.

     

    My preadopted girl is Pansy Jane, who is the product of Oats Alimony, so she's part of the family.

  2. Dynamite was the most extreme foster i've had. He woke me up at 6am the first day. 5 am the next. He skipped 4 and went straight to 3. Then something clicked and he slept through the night after that.

     

    With Zuni, who wasn't particularly bad at night, I let her out of the crate at night after 6 or 8 weeks. She spent the first night upstairs on a pile of dirty clothes next my bed. The next night she was back downstairs sleeping on a bed by her crate. Go figure.

  3. Is there any hardware in there--screws and plates?

     

    It doesn't happen very often, but they can work themselves out of position over time. We've had it happen a couple of times, poor Arcee had a ten screw plate in her hock (it was taken out when it started bothering her again and helped her immensely). Otherwise they may walk a little funny when they first get up (my foster Wendy did this) and then be pretty much ok.

  4. I have to say, it depends on the dog and it depends on the park. Most folks that are successful go early in the morning or at an off-peak time. I know the park near me the dogs are more pampered than human children so everyone is attentive and there has never been a problem. But maybe some parks out of the city are a little more 'anything goes.'

     

    If you dog has any sort of issue with smaller dogs and they don't segregate large and small dogs, it wouldn't be a good idea.
