It's possible that the smell is there now and she figures it is the right place to go when she is upstairs. I would crate her overnight, stop letting her pee on the deck - you'd be amazed at what dogs will associate with - and have a urinalysis done to make sure she doesn't have a UTI...

If it were me, then yes I would have them removed. You have to do it under sedation once they are past the 3 day old stage as there is good nerve and blood supply after that.

If she has no open wounds you can try betadine antiseptic wash -not solution- and water. To do this you put warm water in a tub and add enough of the betadine to make the water the colour of weak iced tea. Stand the dog in the solution for about 5 minutes. Towel dry. This will get into the...

Most of us wouldn't have the means and that is maybe what Ms. Sanderbeck was hoping would happen. I don't understand why she didn't return the dog but there was something that was fuelling her to even ignore those that had worked with her in this rescue. We will probably never know what she...

I really never believed this day would happen. So very glad to have been wrong. I know one little dog that is going to be getting a world full of loving tonight!

I'll be surprised if this ever comes to a satisfactory conclusion. There is a reason this dog hasn't been returned and I would be surprised if it is her ability to breed. I will continue to hope for Piper to be okay and returned to her rightful home but as the clock ticks I have less faith...

Tinsel's new sister will arrive in about 7 weeks. Born on Mother's day, our home will be graced by a new Tervuren girl. Of course, love westies but Belgians will always have a piece of my heart.

I just bought a Solvit stroller for Tinsel and Phoebe as he is unable to walk now without causing more damage to his right wrist and she gets tired and needs to be carried if we go too far. This stroller has inflatable large wheels and lots of opening etc. for air circulation.

We have been having some technical difficulties with the site on Petfinders. If you haven't heard from Kathy in the next few days, I will see if I can get her on her personal email.

I think this was more an back handed attack at your wife than anything else. Basically they were saying that your wife is a fool for wasting money. Most people that care about you might think it but wouldn't express it because they wouldn't want to hurt your feelings. Having said all this...

Toothless's owners put it right in perspective when he said "I hope we gave him more good memories to wipe out some of the bad". That is exactly how we think of Tinsel - who by the way, celebrates 3 years with us today. He too is now deaf and a bit more likely to react to changes around him...

A kink in the tail is usually caused by a hemi vertebrae which is more triangular in shape than rectangular. They are very difficult to breed out. Personally, if everything else is lovely then I would consider showing the dog but would not breed it.

We have to remember those whose lives were taken or changed by radical extremists by standing for the freedoms they fought and died for. This means that we judge, not by group, but by actions. Let us all pray for the strength and wisdom we will need.

Might I suggest not to change more than one thing at a time or you won't know what is making the difference.

There was a woman in Hamilton, several years ago, that displayed this type of behaviour believing that her neighbours had taken her son and put his soul into that of their son. One day, while a young girl was taking this little boy - I think he was about 3 years old - for a wagon ride, the...
