Bringing in a second dog was a game-changer for my spooky girl. She has become so much more well-adjusted and confident, and I love to see how well they interact with each other. There were three years in between my adoptions, and in a way, I wish I had done it much sooner (though then I wouldn't have ended up with my silly Nova Noodle). I have two females. My spooky girl is also alpha. I had assumed that she would get along best with a goofy boy. After fostering a couple of wonderfully sweet boys, she wasn't really clicking with them, and I started to wonder if she actually preferred being an only dog. As a last effort, I brought home a sweet little female foster-with-intent, and they were instant companions. Basically, I let my first girl choose my second, and the rest is history. Best of luck to you as you think about adopting your second!

I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your Ben.

Appleton is my hometown. I have always heard great things about the Fox Valley Animal Referral Center. Here's the website: http://fvarc.com/ It also serves as the area's e-vet, which means that the clinic is fully staffed 24/7, which could be nice post-surgery. Best wishes for Pogo and for you as you move forward with his diagnosis.

Pretty girl! Congratulations!!

I am so very sorry for your loss. Rest well, Kipper.

I think it's really hard to say without seeing nutrition labels, etc. I usually start by feeding the recommended amount of food per dog's weight that is listed on the bag. If I notice one is getting a little ribby, I increase it a bit. If one starts to look a little plump, I decrease it a bit. This varies a lot based on the season. My girls definitely eat more in the fall/winter than in the spring/summer when the weather gets hot. It can also vary a lot by the hound. I have two 60 lb. girls, and one eats 1 cup of food more per day than the other. If your hounds look like they are is good shape and are at a healthy weight, I would say that they are getting enough. It can always be adjusted as you go along. Good luck!

He's doing wonderful! Thanks for the update on your brave boy!

If it is soft, moveable, and seems to just be in the skin, it could be a lipoma (fatty tumor). Luna has one near her rib cage. I had it aspirated just to be sure, and was grateful to hear it was both benign and basically harmless.

I am so sorry for the loss of your handsome boy.
