You need to build positive associations with DH and possibly other men. At first I would have DH far enough away that she is not reacting. Give her yummy treats just for hanging out. Be sure she isn't acting fearful. Over time, slowly move closer to him. Keep your body in between the dog and...

One, it's in a v shape from just below my hips bones and meets over my pelvic area. Roses and vines that meet with DH's name in the middle. Colleen

Well drats...that's the third thing scheduled that weekend that I'd like to do :( Looks like I'll miss him. Sounds like it would have been fun tho. Colleen

2 of mine always have to go while we are on walks. They are NEVER allowed to go on other people's lawns, driveways, etc. Actually I don't let them walk on the lawns, etc. I don't let my male mark people's bushes either. Colleen

I pack a giant cooler and everyone teases me. But we have a tiny refrig here. Egg/egg white omelet with potatoes or a side of oatmeal turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes chicken, brown rice chicken, side bean salad cc, fruit Colleen

Did they get him from a breeder? If so, please contact the breeder. I'd also suggest contacting a local rescue Dobe rescue group to help you out. They can screen homes for you, etc. If you need help finding a Dobe rescue near you, try www.dpca.org and go to the rescue section. If that...

>>Anyway, the dog park visit went great today and Tuxedo was >happy running around and playing. > WOOHOO! I'm glad!!! It's tough when you get those kind of jerks ruining the fun for everyone! I'm glad it worked out today and hopefully that guy will not be back. Colleen

>OMG, what a freggin jerk! > >I am sorry to sound silly here, but where I live we don't have >dog parks unless the dogs are leashed, so my question is I >take it the dogs are not required to be on a leash while they >are in the park? Yes most states have off leash dog parks which are...

I rarely go to dog parks and when I do I'm a stress nut about watching before we go and what dogs are coming as we are in. If I see anything that I don't like we either don't go in or leash up right away and leave. I won't risk it. I also would let Tuxedo get used to his new environment...

Sue, I would start conditioning him to like his ears being touched. Pair it with yummy treats. Weims are high energy like you've seen and a bit more like a working breed than some of the other sporting breeds. SA is probably more of an individual thing than breed thing. Your best...

I've been slacking on workouts lately, but I'll share anyway :) I follow BFL also. Some of my meals: 4 egg whites, 1 whole egg, oatmeal on the side (regular old fashioned) chicken, bean salad extra lean turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes cottage cheese, apple or berries chicken, WW...

Jenni, I'm so sorry for your loss. I don' tknow that the pain ever "goes away" but one day you realize you can think of Zues and smile through your tears and remember some of your happy times. Letting them go is the biggest gift of love we can give them. Colleen

Gabby and Kiana love the water! Bret thinks he is allergic. He will only go if he is extremely hot. And then only up to his belly. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1196/4106539/8683284/150007155.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1196/4106539/8683284/178483781.jpg...

WOOHOO! I missed this post and posted on the other one. If the didn't already suggest it, I'd ask about adding Tramadol in addition to her other meds. Colleen

Laura, Ask your vet about adding Tramadol to her pain regime in addition to the Deramaxx. I think that is what you said she is on. The combo of Tramadol and Metacam did wonders for my 14 year old lab in the last year of her life. Colleen

The big klunky kind that looks like a regular cast or splint. The sock one did nothing for me. Colleen

It hasn't helped my PF but it has helped my chornic neck pain.

Wow, I think your friend is really pushing her boundaries and not thinking clearly about the situation. I have 3 dogs and when people come to my hosue they aren' always even out to visit. Not everyone wants a 45-80 lb dog in their lap at all times! Aside from that, I agree, focus on the...

Congratulations!!! Colleen

How old is she? Make sure her growth plates are closed before many "foced activities", like biking, running, etc. Free running and play is ok. My breed is the definition of high energy. I get up an hour early 3-4 days a week and we go for off leash hikes. I walk, they run. I also do a lot of...
