Some puppies just take longer, and some breeds S/M

are sometimes know to be more of a challenge. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Maybe your local animal shelter could give you some help on this issue. Just like kids, they are a responsibility and will sometimes cause you some aggravation, but the love and happiness you get from her will outweigh the training period, I am sure.

For some items you could buy men's, they tend to be longer with longer sleeves. NM

None for mixed breeds willing to help.nm

Two powerful breeds with
strong personalities, and these are mature dogs.
Might go fine, or could go badly.
The safest would be on neutral ground with a dog trainer there IMO.
I enjoy watching Cesar Milan's show, The Dog Whisperer. He has a website, also.
What breeds of little dogs? The names
are so cute for little ones!
What are your favorite breeds of dog? I will name some of mine SM
Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Greyhound, Ibizan Hound, Scottish Deerhound, Irish Wolfhound, Chihuahua, Schipperke, Dandie Dinmont. . . WOW. I gotta stop, but I could literally go on and on!
How true. It is such a shame for some of these breeds to all
be put in a category of being dangerous, etc. Like I stated in my post above in reply to the Pitbull in the Halloween costume some breeders play on some of the traits of the ones they feel will be more aggressive, larger, more muscle, etc. Then they breed them with another dog they feel has that potential, and so on. A responsible breeder who is concerned only for the well being of the dog and loves the breed will breed only the ones who do not display aggression or the potential for it. I once went to the house of a friend whose dad had a Doberman for years. The dog was there that night, and to be honest I was afraid. I entered the house cautiously to find that the dog was afraid of ME. She had a squeaky toy and lay under the chair all night playing with the toy. She was a thing of beauty. I will never forget her and I learned new respect and to do some reading and research before coming reaching conclusions.
I am a firm beiever that it is all in the breeding and socializing of these breeds. SM
ThePit has certainly had a lot of bad publicity, and the Chow has a bit of the same rupturation, but I have known both of these breeds and they could not be sweeter. However, introducing the two might be a challenge. First and foremost, feeding time is dangerous when another dog is around. My neighbor's Chow/Golden mix attacked my friend's little toy poodle and almost killed her because she walked behind the dog when it was eating. It did not even attempt to take any food or go near the dish. The little Poodle was under the kitchen table and walked behind the Chow mix to go into the living room and that is all it took. If you have these two dogs together I would never attempt to give them treats or food when they are together. Just my view from a good source. Both these breeds are wonderful in their own right, but can be extremely territorial, and food is often what will ignite the situation.
Forgot to say that this is one of my very favorite breeds. So bright and beautiful. NM

Lab Puppies
I know there are a lot of animal lovers on the board here. I have a litter of Lab Pups for sale. They are 8 weeks old and last week I had no phone calls or e-mail about them. I have them in the local newspaper and Puppyfind web site and Next Day Pets website and gundogs online. Does anyone have any suggestions about where else I can advertise to get them good homes! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Puppies
Hi,
I have 3 yellow boys left and 2 red boys left. I live in Ohio! They are AKC registered with the first shots and wormings. They will be 9 weeks old on Friday August 8th.
Thanks

Have the puppies arrived?
How are mum & pups doing?
I think puppies are so cute when they do that
looks like he was done in from play time and ready for some serious relaxation. How old do you think he is?
Precious puppies! nm
.....
I didn't know you could still buy puppies & kittens
at a pet store. I have seen that in years.
Aren't those puppies the cutest!
I have a female Siberian husky who is the absolutely sweetest dog I have ever had. I'm sorry for your loss.
I pulled 5 puppies the other day and guess what?
A lady had turned her Pomerarian in because she said was aggressive. I asked the lady who was with me if she wanted to pull that one also she said no, those were highly adoptable and so we left that one. The lady at the place said the dog not aggressive, just being the breed it is with the nipping and such.
I have lost puppies to parvo before
and some have pulled through. The dogs can literally get down and die overnight. One thing I can tell you is the fact parvo can stay in your yard for ever and ever. I never got rid of it in mine over say 10 years or so. Question to you, how old is your puppy and when you took to the veterinarian, was the puppy carried in or walked in? Sorry you have this problem and I will say a little prayer for the furry one.
oh but yes, they were very careful with screening all the applicants for the puppies. nm

Question about potty training puppies...
Please no one poke fun at my question... I have never potty trained a puppy before and have a few questions. I have a 12 week old Corgi boy named Cody.
How long does it take to potty train a dog. Is it 6 months or longer or should he have the idea down for the most part by age 3 months?
The one thing that I do not understand is why after I take him outside, he will go pee (it seems like he is completely emptying his bladder), I will praise right away, then we go back inside and 5 minutes later he dribbles on the carpet. I'm sure this is normal, but I am not sure what to do about it. Should I put him back in his pet crate immediately?
I know there are a lot of dog experts on this board... I appreciate any advice you can give.
Thanks! Melissa (and Cody)
Love puppies of all kinds! How precious yours must look
c
Lots of chewie toys, because puppies
like to chew. And I have seen Springer Spaniel calendars at either Borders or Petco.
Good - Rotties are cute puppies. Bad - they eat a TON, also I got knocked over by one and he fell o
I broke ribs and arm. His head alone was probably 30 pounds. I have a big guy now, lab/great dane, but Rotties are huge. Oh they slobber a ton. But I guarantee no one will come in your yard who is not welcome when he is there!
yep, getting longer and longer for me too...
annoying!!!
I've got a fullbred Jack Russelll Terrier = perpetual luny puppies! NM

The wood will last longer if you
use containers inside of it. If you want to disguise the containers you can put something like spagnum moss over the dirt and let it cover the edges of the container(s).
Sounds like it is going to be neat. What kind of plants? Climbing vine?
Sorry I just do not get your point as I no longer am
buying anything for the dog in any kind of way. I said I paid for the surgery and would do that again, no problem. I hate to lose her friendship, really I do but at the same time I am not going to be used. I did what I could and now feel up to them to do the rest. As of the, hmmm, say 5 months I have not helped out in amy way so your post means???
I am not sure why they are no longer speaking
but in due to the fact that she has no contact wtih him, I don't think he should have stayed in the house once he found out she was there. She was visibly upset when she realized he was there and began crying. My phone then rang so I missed what she said to her other housemates. It just seems like this is not the place for this to be handled.
no longer close....
That is what I thought half would be fair. But I know she wouldn't pay it. Because I have learned how she is. I realize I should have gotten it back way before then but I just said you know I am sure she has it put up and I will get it back. I had no idea she shampooed her carpet that often. And no I will not be loaning her anything else. From now on IF I loan something out( she is an exception I won't be loaning her anything) saying you break it you replace it is a good idea. Let's them no if they can't or don't want to replace it then don't borrow it. I did say something to my husband's brother about it. My husband and her husband are twin brothers. He did not offer any money on it. And when I told him I needed to get half of what it cost he gave no answer. My husband says let it go and learn your lesson to never let them borrow again. But I still think it is only fair to have at least half my shampooer cost paid.
In my 20s, I like my hair a lot longer
If I could no longer take care of myself, that's
up already. usually wait a bit longer, but had the time.
It is artificial and I don't like it, but...well, don't have the time to shop for a real one and deal with the mess. busy this year, and alone, so who cares? No Christmas spirit this year.
I would tell them not to visit unannounced any longer.

Looking for cell phones you no longer need...
Hi! My church is collecting cell phones as a fundraiser. If you have an unused cell phone lying around that you would like to get rid of, please let me know! Just let me know what the brand, model number, phone co used for and I will let you know if that is one that is on the list. I will pay for the shipping to get it here!
Thanks a zillion!
Probably here on earth longer than you, but what I am talking about
is the fact that young females can have WITHOUT taking antibiotics. The post above me seems like it was set in concrete this was the problem and fabric softners. There are so many scare tactics here in the US and it just continues and everyone things the sky is falling, oh my!
Symantec (Norton) will no longer allow that
Years ago, we could do that - use one NA program on multiple computers - however-they changed that and they run scans all the time to see what's up and who's doing what. They are truly my most favorite antivirus program (tho there are better ones that cost more *out there* - i.e., panda). F-secure is also very good and I think is free or used to be free.
But know now, that eventually Symantec will catch you..........
2nd toe longer, wide space between big toe and

If you are no longer using credit cards......
i've had several credit cards throughout my time and all but four are paid off. i don't plan on using the other credit cards ever. they do show up on my credit report. i would like to cancel the ones i don't use, but i've heard that it looks back on your credit report. anyone else have info about this? i think it's a better idea to cancel the cards you will never use again because of the identity theft going on.
My teenage son has longer hair.
He keeps it clean and neat (right now he kind of looks like David Cassidy back in the day). When he starts letting it hang in his eyes, off it comes.
With teenagers you do have to pick your battles. He says that in a few years, it's going to start falling out (he's probably right) so he wants to enjoy it while he can.
Just the once, been single again longer than I was married sm
I married a homophobic homosexual who molested children.
Diabetes, probably no longer than 5 years
I know very well what hypertension and diabetes both can do, had a husband who was dialysis just because of uncontrolled hypertension and eventually dying. She was not strong enough to question (oh, well, she could not have even known maybe what they were saying) the ESLs and yes, there are older folks out there who cannot understand the first thing that comes out of their mouths. Do you not know older people who take everything a physician says as gospel and would not dare "rock the boat" so to say? She has responsibility here, mostly hers, but not being able to understand. They might have told her she was on the verge of kidney failure and she could not comprehend what they were saying and just stuck it out with the same people.
Flu season is lasting longer
I read an article recently, I think in TIme, that said that flu season was lasting longer and doctors were actually giving booster shots to their patients who had gotten flu shots at the beginning of the season.
Just not part of body that grows longer

You're so right! I recently moved, and no longer
receive the San Francisco news on TV. Instead, I get the Sacramento News, which I don't like. So instead of watching TV, lots of times I just pull up my favorite SF news channels online, and watch it at whatever time I want to. It's great! You get it when it's breaking, and you can pick the stories you're interested in, instead of waiting through all the sports stuff, just to have a few words about the story you tuned in to hear get thrown in at the very end of the broadcast.
HOW did we ever live without the internet?
For the first time, I am no longer watching Idol

That was the impact fee. It no longer exists. Some people even got it refunded.nm

She is DENSE, don't bother any longer. Like talking to a wall...

When my arms no longer reached the keyboard, I was suspicious.
I then lapsed into a coma and didn't wake up until there was a strange person with spiked orange hair in my kitchen, demanding the keys to my car. It was either a burglar or my child - I don't know. They've never come back with the car, but that's not proof of anything so I haven't filed a police report yet.
