tofu pup , It is ironic to me that you chose this set of postings to add to something that was not addressed to you. But you have the right to do and say what you like, and I appreciate that. I too am taking the advantage of my right to respond to you in the venue that you chose. Since I do...

take4roll10, I see that you are a Moderator here. That means something to us normal posters, and I thank you for your compassionate comments. On Feb 25. I responded to your post on the 24th. I did not copy my writings to a text document because I did not think that any kind of censoring would...

13 years ago when we got Lily, we bought her for my youngest daughter Caitlin. She bonded to me quickly, even tho She was for my daughter. It was not long that I started to understand Her concept of the "Pack Mentality". With me being the "alpha male", my wife was the "alpha female, and...

While I am consoled by all of the caring and compassionate posts here, there are private times that questions about Her that come up, that I am having a difficult time answering to myself, for Her. Even tho she passed in her sleep, how do I know, that She did not suffer. Did She awaken from Her...

This is a quandary. Shortly after joining this forum, I was describing my Lily, I thought that She was a tri color, based on Her predominant visible colors. When I got to Her blue eye in the side of Her head that was white. I was quickly reminded that blue eyes only show up in a blue merle...

Wow, Talk about getting what you asked for. Thank you, thank you, That is exactly the direction that I was inquiring for. Based upon the information that I received from my daughter, about the puppy. She had received this puppy from friends who got together and decided to do this for her...

Lipomas There was a time that I was familiar with every bump that came up on Lily. When I would find one that stayed longer than a week, I would have the Vet look at it. They were diagnosed as lipomas since they only had a fatty substance in side of them. Of course, I watched them like a hawk...

My daughter was given a Sheltie puppy that was claimed to be pedigreed, When got the papers to register the puppy, I see that the litter is registered with the CONTINENTAL KENNEL CLUB. i have never heard of this registry. Does anyone know anything about this club? Is it a viable, respectable...

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of such a wonderful companion. That was a wonderful picture as well. I have been on this forum for a long time but evidently I do not have enough postings to post attachments, or I would have posted pictures of my precious Lily, that we lost just a week ago...

Tomorrow morning will have been exactly one week since She left us. In reality, it has not really gotten any better. I MISS Her, still. My wonderful wife still misses Her. My youngest daughter Caitlin, had a special connection with Her. We got Her for Caitlin, but She bonded to me. Caitlin...

It is amazing At times like this, you always seem to think that this greaving pain is yours alone. Your out pouring of condolences at this times is reminding that I am not alone in feeling the way that I do. For those, I am thanking you. My feelings are as real, as She was surreal. The...

For years, I had heard of the Rainbow Bridge, yet I did not understand what it was. We all have had conversations about where our four legged family members would go when they moved on. I never really felt there was a proper answer, until I was made aware of the Rainbow Bridge concept. Its...

The most caring, gentle, sweet, tender thing on this planet, in my view, has left this world. We knew that with her being 13, going on 14, that we were on borrowed time with her life. she left us 0900 on 02/07/2015. She left us in her sleep. I am having an enormously large problem dealing with...

It is interesting how this is playing out. Unlike some of you, Cesar Milan has never caused me any harm, so I will not discount his techniques, like some of you can. One thing that I feel that we should keep in mind. These wonderful creatures are excellent judges of human behavior. With our...

7 years is a very long time to endure distrust, abuse, and neglect or whatever. Now is the time for your patience and assurance to show. Progress will come, but not on your timetable, if you structure if correctly. Take baby steps, do not rush things or push the envelope, or relapses will...
