Tractor loved the water. Swimming, wading, wrestling with the shepherd, pretending to beNessie. A friend of mine has a pasture with a pond she lets me use for off leash zoomies. Now, the bath afterward...not so much of a fan.

Cosmo came from Southland. He raced at 86 lbs and came to me on 5 cups a day. He's down to three and weighs 88 now. We feed Fromms and rotate the proven sources every couple of bags. I had to take him off the yogurt, it was making NASTY RUNNY POO and the gas was horrid. I add coconut oil, fish oil, and he gets pb in a kong. Best of luck adapting to each other.

We adopted Cosmo (No Prisoners) from MSGAO in August. Welcome to the club!

Alley turned 23 this year, I've worked with her since she was eight. She was colicky this morning, rallied a bit, and then was put down this evening because her gut twisted. She wasn't mine on paper, but she was my "step-pony." I am going to miss Crazy Alley.

I am so very sorry. Godspeed.

My new boy Cosmo does this. With everyone. It isn't chewing, more of a "I am so happy to,see you, let me show you all my new stuff." I am trying to break him of this, because I don't want him to chew on people.

Oh George! You brought much joy to people all over Greytalk. We will miss you. Run free, run fast.

Yes. Tractor showed no signs until he broke his leg. X-Ray showed a large tumor and it had spread.

I had one that chewed and ate parts of a waffle iron. I hope the clicker passes without incident.

We have the grain free beef and have no problems. I like TSC, they try to fix things.

Welcome from TN. I'm originally a Hoosier.

I am so sorry.

Yesterday was a tough day in our household as we had to make the decision to put Tractor to sleep. He slipped on Tuesday afternoon, walking down a flight of stairs into the back yard. X-rays showed a broken leg, secondary to bone cancer. We had no idea about the cancer. It was far enough along that there was really no other option for him. So, Tractor, know that we loved you and that your smiling happy face is already missed by your canine and avian siblings. We miss you too and wish you god speed across the bridge.

We've always had two boys. Minimal snarking as they usually gang up on the shepherd (and she thinks they're playing). You just have to watch for marking.

Good luck for Sid. Now, I'm wondering if I can get the vet to turn on the laser when I take Tractor in for a corn hulling...thanks for the brain food!

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. I'll miss Jilly Bean, she was quite the character.

Oh Judy, I'm so sorry.

I switched back to Fromm's dog food when all of the things Iiked to feed my guys were on the recall list. Tractor's coat went from ok, to WOW HE GLOWS IN THE DARK. So, we'll be staying with their food. I can rotate protein sources, so that's good news. The bad news, I have to drive to Franklin, TN to get it, since no one in Murfreesboro carries it.

Learned from Captain Jack: Who wants a cookie Oops Learned from me: Houndies go! (ride in the truck) Keith's coming (my guitar player, who is just a loud human being, it gives Mojo a chance to hide) Damnit Max No Leave it Who wants to poop outside Mine! (stop asking for whatever it is I'm holding/eating) Waffles Pretty simple, but I haven't really tried to teach them anything. They're smart and probably know more than what I think

I have a dog like that. Patience and practice are things to remember. He took 8 months to get to the point where my husband could touch him. He took a year before he could tolerate being in the same room with strangers. Its only been in the last month or so that he doesn't run from the room when some of my loud musician friends come over. What helped Mojo was the fact that when strangers came over, they fed him meat treats. Nothing says loving like a chicken strip treat! I will have had Mojo for two years in July, just to give you a timeline. He still hides behind me when things are really scary, but he's getting better. Enough that he has gone up to strangers on his own to "ask" if they have any treats.

that was the first thought I had. And now, my bird is whistling the DR Who theme...

Bahaia Grass. Once it takes root, the roots are about 18 inches deep.

After 4 days of treatment with he Murray Ave corn cream, Tractor is limping less and his corn looks better. Yeah Tractor! Yeah uber-expensive corn cream!

Welcome to GT! I also have a parrot (African Grey) who talks to the dogs. They've learned to ignore him though!

Here's hoping that Saint Saint makes it to those pealy gates and finds all of his family that has gone ahead waiting to greet him with wagging tails. Judy, I am so sorry for his loss. I'm sitting here crying. I loved seeing his pictures.
