Hands down, Pembroke corgi's for me. This breed in general, and my Piper specifically, is so full of spunk, intelligence and charm I just love her and this breed! She is the sweetest thing but she also loves to be the boss of the world and I just love a dog with such charming attitude! I read...

My two pennies worth... the friendship is going to be pretty much over either way. If you keep the dog, that will no doubt end it. If you return the dog you will no longer feel the same about your friend. It will taint the relationship. So there is that. Second, you seem to have a lot of written...

I am so sorry to hear this. But you did the most loving thing you could for him right to the end. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Laparoscopic spay (keyhole) is much less invasive and the recovery time is shorter (about five days compared to 10-14 for traditional spay). It prevents pyometra (infection of the uterus) just as completely as a traditional spay. The real downside for some is the cost. It is a bit pricey. While...

My dog cannot have Bully Sticks anymore since she has a reaction to beef products. I was thinking of Yak Chews instead. Does anyone give these to your dog and what are your experience with them? Thanks!

I have not worn a mask, isolated or stopped seeing friends, family or neighbors since all this started. Not one person in this large circle has gotten the virus. My one sister did get it (was better in less than two weeks), but she chose isolation so I was not around her all this time. We as a...

Welcome! I can't wait to see some pics of your new furry friend and read of your adventures. I fostered a beagle a few years ago and just loved that dog, she was so sweet!

I can only add that I was once told by a very wise person here to "watch the dog, not the bowl". In other words, it doesn't matter if "they" say my dog should have, say, 1 cup of food a day for her size, breed, etc. if she gets on fine with 3/4 cup a day. So I took that advice and lo and behold...

Is there a reason you cannot take him into the vet on one of his bad days? This way the vet can see for himself exactly what is going on and be able to examine while symptoms are active. Work it out with your vet ahead of time as making an appointment for that very day could prove difficult at...

I have a small Corgi and years ago, I made my own. I bought the hardware and the rope (you can get different types, widths and sizes) from our local home improvement store. That way I got to choose the size and weight of all the components as well as the length of my lead. I'm still using it...

I have the sweetest little Corgi. She actually loves people and most dogs. BUT... she doesn't want to share her home with them. When I pet sit for my sisters dogs, she is fine with them, but she is not herself either. And when they go home, she would throw a party if she could - lol. So I have...

I ditto everything Judy said. As a vet tech I have had the extreme pleasure of meeting many retired greyhounds and they are the most amazing dogs! The rescues would never allow me to adopt (and rightly so) because I have cats. But if I could have, I definitely would have! They have the biggest...

I have chosen not to take the vaccine. I am not an "anti-vaxer" at all. But the bottom line is that no one can say that this vaccine is safe. Only time will prove whether it is or isn't by both the short and long term reactions (or lack thereof) of those who take it. I am well connected in the...

My corgi loves kids but not if they are wearing a floppy hat. She could not care less about any other type of hat, but it better not be large and floppy on a small child or she loses her marbles. :rolleyes:

I have called 911 when I've seen a dog left in a car on a hot day. Someone has to be their voice and their advocate. I have thankfully never encountered a child left in a car but I would not hesitate to call 911 if after assessing the situation I felt it was warranted. (I say warranted because...

Congrats on your ten little bundles of fun! Can't wait to see some pics!

What a handsome dog!

Welcome! Otis is gorgeous!! Would love to see more pics.

Gosh, we take our dog everywhere. She loves the beach and running on the shore, we hike in the woods, or sometimes we take a leisurely walk on the road saying hi to the neighbors as we go. But we live on a horse farm so our dog gets to run and enjoy all of our acres as well (with us, she has an...

I had a dear friend who experienced this with her nine month old samoyed pup. I can only imagine how heartbroken you are right now. We are here to support, to listen and to encourage. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
