    Ear Tipping

    I posted a topic about this a month or two ago. The same thing happened to me and someone recommended baby oil and a fine tooth comb. I ended up having to shave his ear tip lol :(

    Peeing on other dog's pillow

    Fred's been peeing on Riley's pillow almost every day for the past week and half. He did it a couple of times before but we thought it was just an accident. But lately, even if we had just taken him out, he'll run inside lay on Riley's pillow, get up and there's a giant wet spot!! We almost...

    is it the dog food.. or am I looking at another cause?

    I've read a lot of times that some of the 5-star foods aren't recommended for puppies or dogs that aren't super active because of the high protein.

    is it the dog food.. or am I looking at another cause?

    I feed Fred Blue Buffalo (he's on the puppy formula right now) and he loves it. His poos are nice and normal. Our 1.5 year old boxer was on Iams, and she was miserable! Her skin was dry and flaky and her coat was constantly shedding. Then we switched her to Nutro, and it was ok for a while, but...

    His ear tips are blueish :(

    I couldn't take it anymore so I rushed him to the vet just now. My usual vet wasn't in today so I saw a new lady and luckily for me, she used to work with a sheltie rescue group so she saw all kinds of things. She said that his ears are just bruised since the ear tips are sensitive and pressing...

    His ear tips are blueish :(

    I noticed last night that Fred's ear tips are blueish underneath. I felt them, they felt slightly warm like the rest of his ears. I can't think of any cause other than my putting the moleskin on his ears (they were on for 5 days). Has this happened to anyone before? I'm so worried :( I have a...

    Let me ask everyone this.........

    I let Fred in the bathroom while I shower and I realized I probably had a better chance of getting him to take a bath quietly if I did the same lol. So this morning after I finished my shower, I stayed in and gave Fred a shower too. He actually loved it lol and I didn't have to struggle with...

    Ear Tipping

    Well it's official! I'm never doing this ever again! I know I said that last time, but this last experience was enough! I was brushing Fred a min ago and checked on his ears. I noticed one looked strange. Upon closer inspection, there was pus on one side of his left ear. I lifted the moleskin...

    How did your Sheltie get it's name?

    Fred's full name is Fredierk Hobarten Ralphington Feurst The first two is for Fred Mertez off of I Love Lucy (Hobart was his middle name) and Ralphington because he threw up on me twice on the way home from the breeders and Feurst because he's my first dog :x I changed the words to make it as...

    Puppy color?

    I'm so curious as to what color Fred will be when he's older. I've heard that coat colors change as they grow, some places I've read they darken, some said they lighten...it's all so confusing! I'm curious as to what everyone's experienced. Here's a picture of Fred...he's got a dark stripe down...

    Potty Training In A Specific Spot In The Yard

    I'm training Fred to go to a specific spot in the yard also. When I take him out, I take him to the potty corner and tell him his words of encouragement lol. Sometimes after he pees, he'll wander away, sniff, and then get into poo position, that's when I scoop him up and rush him to the corner...
