    Peeing indoors

    Declin has been peeing indoors for the past few days. He has never had any accidents in the house except for when he had cortisone shots for allergies (back in September). Yesterday when I let him out of the crate he ran right to the door and had to go out, but I had literally just gotten out of...

    When did you reach adult size?

    I had Declin neutered at 8 months. He is now almost 11 months and hasn't grown since his neuter, which is probably a coincidence. He measures approximately 15 1/2" tall and weighs 28 pounds. (Although I'm sure at least five pounds are from all of his fur. There is so much of it.)

    I can't manage with so much fur

    Declin gets brushed once a week with a pin brush, and then I use the slicker on his ears, legs, and feet. I haven't had a problem with fur everywhere up until yesterday when I brushed him… He never really lost the puppy fluff on his back third and now he's just starting to blow some coat… So...

    Harness suggestions

    I have the Julius K9 IDC harness. I really like it for Declin because he tends to pull when he gets excited at class (Hey, there's another dog over there doing something fun and why can't I be over there doing that too?!), and I don't like him choking himself all the time on the collar. Plus...

    Aimee's last agility class

    We are taking (and re-taking) a foundations class… So, extremely limited obstacle stuff. When I was up in the air over taking the foundations class, I found a book called "Flatwork: Foundation for Agility" by Barb Levenson. I briefly skimmed it before class began, and as it would turn out, we...

    Pre-agility or Agility 1?

    I started Declin in the foundations class mainly because everyone that I talked to has nothing but nice things to say about the instructors. And I am so glad that I did, because originally I was considering skipping it and going straight to agility I! He is the youngest in the class at 9.5...

    Homemade treat recipes.

    A friend game me this recipe in the fall but I haven't tried it yet (mainly because I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin). Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) 1/2 cup peanut butter 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp baking powder...

    Homemade treat recipes.

    I googled 'dog cookies' a few months ago and after some conversions and a few ingredient swaps, this is what I ended up with: Peanut Butter Dog Cookies 4 eggs (2 for dough, 2 for wash) 2 tbsp canola oil 1 tbsp honey 1 cup chicken broth (I use the low sodium stuff) 1 1/4 cup whole...

    After Neutering

    Nice idea! When I got Declin neutered at 8 months he too came home with a cone. I had to leave it on him for a week as well, but I took it off after three days and he was okay. It went back on for bed time or naps for the next two days, and after that we were done with it. I made sure to watch...

    messy bums

    I started Declin off on Blue Buffalo puppy… He had "soft-serve" poops constantly! I was tearing chunks of grass out of the lawn just to make sure I got everything. I'm lucky that he didn't have that much fur six months ago… Or I would have really been in trouble! He really didn't care for...
