Oh, sweet Harvey (or "Harvitee Hoo Hoo" as I tend to call him). Every day I look at Harvey and see so many good changes, and see that more of his fear has receded.

Many of my neighbors got to meet Harvey the first night I had him. He managed to slip his harness when we went outside and it was a group effort to retrieve him! I am VERY fortunate to live on a street and in a community filled with dog lovers (my block has 18 townhomes...and there are a total of 11 dogs)! None of…

My Mom decided to buy me a Halloween Costume last year (she said she got a REALLY good deal on it when my Dad asked) after Halloween. She brought it out from the closet the other day and put it on me. I didn't move a muscle. I wouldn't even look at her, I was so mad at that lady. She even brought out a piece of my very favorite thing in the whole world (a piece of Chicken from the refrigerator!!!) and I didn't even move. Nothing was going to make me move in that…

Rua here to update you on my morning! Papa left on Wednesday for a vacation (whatever that is) in Florida (that's where Gramma J lives) for his birthday but Momma stayed home to be with me since I am so little. Momma thought she would try to read the paper this morning (they are in the driveway every morning when we go for our walk...in an orange bag. Momma has Thursday's, Friday's and Saturday's in orange bags still so I don't know why she needed to take Sunday's out of the…

Murphy's friend Pogo, a Welsh Springer Spaniel that has been to multiple hunting schools, invited Murph to come to his house and play. Pogo and Murphy spent the day retrieving duck dummies. Not having his own personal pool, Murphy didn't understand the rules. Pogo, a little short guy, said "Its like water polo. NO touching bottom."

"Dood, you are cheating!!"

"Who? ME?"

BTW, the water is 4…

I do believe I have the best puppy in the whole world....OK, perhaps that is stretching it a bit too far...perhaps in Nebraska...OK, for sure in our house! She has been here 8 nights and unless I get up to go "potty", she sleeps through the night. If she hears me get up, she'll make 1 little bark. I figure I might as well take her out while I am up. If my DH gets up in the middle of the night, she doesn't, but will start stirring around 5:44.

Potty training is going great.…

Hi Guys!! This is Tara and I have a problem.

Last weekend DD and DM and I went to what at that time was called the PetSmart store cause Bandy and Rosey's nice momma give us a coupon (whatever that is).

So we get there and right away I notice that DD & DM are losing their voices!! Like I could hardly HEAR them!!! Pretty soon I couldn't hear them at all so I thought they were off shoppin without me. OH WELL!! I figured that I would just check…

Help,

I was taking Lexi our 2 1/2 year old Goldendoodle, for a walk tonight and noticed that for the third time in six months she had a clear vaginal discharge which I assume is another UTI. Every time we take her to the vet he gives her Clomax for one or two weeks. I am thinking she will develop a resistence to this medication and trying to research why she might have this re-occurring problem. I could not find anything specific in a search of the health group and you always seem to…

I just came across this when I was searching for something else so I thought I would share it with you.

The Pets Prayer

When I post our rescue Maltese on www.petfinder.com (BTW: We have so far placed 15 out of the 17 puppies we had and 4 out of the 7 adults) I often look at the poodle, golden retriever and Labrador listings for a friend who has stated that he is interested in a doodle.

I found a bevy of wonderful dogs that are at www.gentlegiantsrescue.com of Norco in Southern California. These magnificent…

There must be something wrong with Rua. Starting her second night home, she sleeps through the night (the first night I got her up at 2AM because I had to go potty). I, on the other hand, find myself laying there awake waiting for her to cry. She is sleeping like a log and I am a walking zombie during the day...how fair is that?

So...we were doing pretty good on accidents...until this AM. My DH heard Rua start to whimper at 5:40 this morning (given she went to bed before 9,…

Well, it has been so long since it rained that I can't even remember our last significant rainfall. By that I mean one that lasted over 5 minutes. We have cracks in our yard that are an inch wide. The dirt is pulling away from the house ......... so, yesterday we are scheduled to walk with Hospice of Hope for the Opening Parade for our Local County Fair! This is a pretty big fair, noted by all out of towners that attend. It is billed as "The…
