  1. She made her point, and now she can be comfortable
  2. Val was doing that just the other day and she has plenty more!
  3. I believe that is called selective hearing!
  4. I am so sorry to hear your cat was injured, I hope he makes a complete recovery
  5. It is amazing how fast you can fall in love with these dogs, but it sounds like returning her is the best thing for her, and your cat, and the earlier it is done, the easier it will be for her. You can find a dog that you will love just as much who will be a good companion for you and your cat.
  6. It is very early, but I am sorry to say that she does not sound cat trainable to me. By all means, talk to your group, but for the safety of your cat, she may not be the right dog for you.
  7. My Fletcher was like that, and at 90 lbs, he could be a challenge. If you are walking him with a collar I would strongly suggest you switch to a harness. I found this gave me much better control. Also, if you can try the same technique you are using with cars, that can help, although I know it is hard and takes time. Do a search here for “look at me” training. Try to cross the street to put distance between you and other dogs, and, plant your feet and make him stand. Fletcher was stronger than me, but I outweighed him . It takes time and patience, and he may always be somewhat reactive, but it can get better.
  8. I am sorry you are having two losses so close together
  9. Welcome Wiki And welcome Jerilyn to the wonderful world of Broodies They definitely live by their own rules, but you will never be bored. yes, black dogs are so hard to get good pictures of
  10. Happy Birthday Spirit, it is always a good day for a birthday, and yours is super special Enjoy your outdoors adventures!
  11. I am so sorry, she should have had so much more time with you
  12. It depends on the individual dog, and, to a lesser extent, to the individual cat. The group you are working with (I am assuming an adoption group) will at test their dogs, which helps, but isn’t fool proof. Dogs have been known to lie on their cat tests The cat test will eliminate the obvious high prey dogs. I had five cats when I adopted my first grey. She was an older dog (7), very calm, and pretty much ignored the cats. My cats ranged from confident to a spook. My second grey was supposed to be cat safe, and he was with confident cats that were used to dogs, but I had to teach him not to chase the spook. So you see what I mean, different animals react differently with each other. Lots of people have multiple combinations of cat(s) and grey(s), it can work. I have no experience with puppies, so I can’t answer that
  13. Scorpions hibernate in what passes for winter in AZ. Unfortunately, sometimes that means in your house
  14. Such a special fellow, handsome and loving. I am so sorry your wonderful Nigel is gone.
