It was fun to read the old thread. I'd forgotten all the terms used...hoo hoo, hee hee, twig and berries, etc.

There was a whole thread about this topic a while back. It just means he's happy to see you...very happy to see you.

Oh he looks like a real sweetie. I'm so very sorry.

Oh no I'm so very sorry!

Wow, how weird. I don't think I remember this happening to either of my black girls. Maybe it doesn't happen to all of them? Either that or it did happen and I just thought they were going grey in a weird way.

seems like he's just letting you know it's ok to give him some freedom.

Dogs want to be with their packs. Why can't he stay in your room?

I did want to add that allergy wouldn't seem like the cause if it's only one paw...unless allergic to bug bite or something.

Wow, yeah, that looks like a lab's paw or something! No advice, but glad it's gone down and it didn't seem to bother him!

Oh no I'm so very sorry.

Your tribute made me cry. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your special girl.

The epidemiological study further concludes that, "[a]s a precaution, hunters should avoid eating deer and elk tissues known to harbor the CWD agent (e.g., brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, tonsils, lymph nodes) from areas where CWD has been identified. Even so, I don't know if I would take a chance. This was for human consumption and I'm assuming humans don't eat the antlers, so maybe they just didn't warn against antlers for that reason.

I don't think the heart ever fully heals, but with that you will remember them always and forever. :grouphug

Oh no I am so very sorry. We will all miss Unca Bill.

I believe you mentioned that you reward the dog after he listens to a correction. You might try simply correcting actions sooner and/or skipping the reward after the behavior is corrected. Depending on your delivery of the reward he might think you are rewarding the bad behavior instead of the corrected behavior. For some reason I couldn't get the above statement in quotes, but I was also thinking this might be the case. Besides, I'm not so sure it's a good idea to bring any treats into a dog park, period. I don't really think it's appropriate for someone to let their dog chew on someone else's dog's ear for any length of time. A very, very common way of thinking for dog owners at dog parks is "They will work it out themselves", or the ever popular "They're just playing." Basically like saying "It's all fun and games until somebody pokes an eye out." My first greyhound used to play with an American Eskimo and would chase it and then come back with a face full of white fur. The other dog's owner was fine with it but I was horrified, just like I would be if another dog was chasing mine and came back with a mouth full of my dog's fur.

That's awesome!!

I'm so very sorry.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Angel
