  1. The winery is only about 14 miles fro downtown Gettysburg. It's a great time! Don't miss it!
  2. My husband and brother butcher their own deer. After years of doing this they always have a pile of "junk" meat. They only take the meat that they want. My freezer gets full of treats in the food bowl!
  3. I have used Green Um's for over ten years. The best! No brown spots in my yard. My males can even pee on flowers and nothing.
  4. I've used the plumbers pipe insulation with success.
  5. Take a long sleeved shirt make it like a band and put a maxi pad in it and tie around him. Make shift belly band.
  6. Jetson is on 300 mgs three times a day. We did start on the lower dose and work our way up until we saw improvement. So did I! I take it for my fibro.
  7. I don't know how long you have had her, but it's possible she ate something before you got her, maybe in the foster home. A friend of mine had her dog for a few weeks and threw up a Barbie shoe! She has no children. She found out her dog had a stop over at a foster home before coming to her adoption group. My girl Boo threw up a tail of a stuffie toy that was the size of a golf ball after I adopted her. I asked the foster parent about it and she doesn't have toys at her house because her dogs destroy them. Boo must have gotten it before she came to our group. But then again, she could've gotten something at the dog park.
  8. Went to get food yesterday and spoke with the manager at TS. 4Health is made by Diamond, but by TS standards. 4Health has never been recalled, but TS did pull one formula voluntarily when Diamond had a recall. There was nothing wrong with the TS food, but they destroyed it as a precaution.
  9. My four have been on the fish and potato for about two months. They are doing great on it!
  10. We had to childproof our whole kitchen. Jetson can open drawers and doors!
  11. My Bridge boy Kiaba had allergies, so he couldn't have bully sticks. When the others got bully sticks, he got a big ole carrot. He loved them!
  12. Just saw on the news that the FDA has set up a site to let people contact them about the treats made in China. They want to hear from anyone that has/had a dog that got sick or even died from these treats.
  13. I took my one grey to a holistic vet for a different reason, but she said anything in the mouth starts in the stomach. I had a foster that had terrible breath and her teeth were perfect. I gave her a Pepcid every morning and her bad breath went away. Don't know if this would help, but just a thought.
  14. I always tell people you will see a difference in one month, three months, six months, a year and the biggest in the two year. It is also important not to lay off in the training or get lazy in the first year. I've found my males to have the "whatever" attitude between the one and two year, but my females come into their great goofy personality at the two year point. Every dog is different!
  15. Springtime is having a sale on supplements.
  16. I have given Fresh Factors and Joint Health to all of my dogs over the past eight/nine years. My seniors 9 and almost 13 get four of each a day and my 5 yr old gets two of each a day. No weigh gain, beautiful coats and increased mobility in the oldest one.
  17. This is what Cian's left break looked like. He is on Springtime Joint Health and Fresh Factors. I did up the amount he got after the left break.
  18. I would ask your vet to check if the leg is completely healed. My boy Cian broke his leg in November 2011. It was his back left. The back right was broken at the track. My orthpedic surgeon had a therapist show me some PT to do. I had to leash walk him for a few months after the external fixator came off. He was back to his old self by March 2012.
  19. It's important to condition your leather leashes. Especially if you get them wet every once in awhile during the year. I soak mine in Lexol oil once a year. I've had two of mine for about eight years and another for four years. I put the oil in a bowl, let the leashes soak for an hour or so and wipe down. Beware that they may bleed on your gloves or clothes for a few days if you don't wipe them down.
  20. Tractor Supply had them for 40% off the other weekend.
  21. I completely understand. I have lost two dogs to osteo and my male broke his leg last year. I have an idea of what kind of savings I need to have. God willing I won't have future emergencies. If I don't, the money will roll over into the next dogs. If I decide not to adopt again ( yea, like that will happen), I will have money in an account to use as I want. You have to figure in emergencies, illness, regular meds, food, treats, supplements and routine vet care.
  22. I find it better to open a savings account for pet expenses and put so much in it a week. I don't like the idea of sending a company money over the years and maybe not needing insurance to pay a large bill. For example, you pay them X amount every month for a few years and you only use half of it. The insurance company gets the rest of your money.
  23. I agree with more walks, but what about putting jammies on? Is he cold? But then again I have a girl that "talks" to me a few times a day!
  24. The duck was too rich for mine. I switched to the fish and/or venison.
