 Okay, will someone set me straight on this, PLEASE!
If your dog's stools are not firm and well formed (mushy, but not diarrhea) do they need MORE fiber in their diet or LESS? I just can't seem to get this straight because I've been advised both ways.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

bring your doggie purse...just not your doggie!
lol
Think I will try the Miralax and Fiber-One sm
bars. I tried the Activia yogurt and it seemed to work, but I am not crazy about the taste.
Dr. Weil recommends red rice yeast supplement, green tea, garlic and fiber. nm

Where's a bad doggie?? (nm)

Truly feel for you -- my doggie is 16
I have a chow/lab mix and she turned 16 on Valentine's day and I know that the end will be soon. Took her to the vet and her blood tests are all good but she has a lot of trouble with her back legs but still walks about a mile a day. But I just want to keep her as comfortable and happy as I can these next months or so. Vet said whateverI was doing keep doing as he has never seen a healthier 16 year old. She is deaf but no catarcts. No leakage either. But I don't want her to suffer and that is my main concern. But I know what you are going through and it is so hard to love an animal and lose them But we know we gave them a good life. At least she made the decision to leave and you did not have to make that decision which is what I do not want to have to do. Keep those memories in your heart.

I saw a little doggie yesterday in a car
as I pulled up to get out and looked and would have called the police, alone in the vehicle at a flea market but what saved the owner was they had the window down. The weather here was in the high 50s and climbing but I would not hesitate if the windows had been up.
I too applaud you for the doggie
I am just so glad when people do this, so many of our furry friends need a good forever home.
Doggie style???

Your doggie needs some therapy
It has no clue what it is, a Siberian and you call it a poodle. Poor thing. It has issues and I would suggest a good therapist!
I am really sorry about your doggie having problems
Glad i did not take the suggestion of my aunt who told me - well I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on her- when I said taking to the vets. I understand animals get sick as we do but I do not consider just throwaways like some do. Hope your furrie gets some good results. Hubs is sorta standoffish when it comes to my pets and I noticed a look when I was picking her up for some loving- don’t care if he does stands back, just don’t say anything when I am trying to help her out. I also give her 2 pills x2 each day and he just cannot believe I do this. Somebody gotta take care of the babies, right?
I had seen a picture of new first doggie
and I loved his dark coloring with his white boots on. I am sure the girls will love this beautiful pooch, I know I would but then again I love most animals with fur.
They told us we were going to a doggie resort....
....but I have a sneaking suspicion obedience school is in our future!
I know the doggie had surgery, went personally
to the animal clinic and talked with the veterinarian and others there, told them to contact me. I would seek out attention for an injured animal whether it comes to my front door or on the street. Heavens only knows if the guy takes the medicine? Druggies might do about anything but I appreciate the information you have passed along. I explained some months ago unable to financially care for the dog anymore - I had things I wanted to do in renovations at my own home- and they would have to take care of it so it has been some months since I last bought the medicine. Having said that, got email here about a week ago and have not answered- she was coming across as ole woe doggie. Well, what about woe me? I told her- I would rather not lose her friendship but I had thought about calling on the dog before the son turned the animal over to his mother. Thanks again!
Not buying any more doggie medicine
where she gets the medicine it is twice what I can get here in my town. i asked my veterinarian and ordered it one time for them (and paid that time) but have not paid since. I was asking hubs about picking it up and sending it as I doubt very seriously my veterinarian office would mail to her out of town. Guess I will not do that now- not trying to enable as she would pay for it.
A doggie named Auggie. (nm)

I am loving these doggie-auggie
pictures- they are just too cute. I also do not know how to post pictures or I would show you my 2 fine male cats. They are real charmers their own self. Loving these, keep it up!
I think I am running a doggie day care here sm
LOL I have 2 dogs of my own a golden and a cocker. My son and his girlfriend magically get this chihuahua (sp?). Anyway, he is apparently abandoned by his owner who moved to California and said she would be "back in a couple of months" to take him back. When he first came into the area, his owner had a "party" and the puppy who is all of 7 months old got into some pot and ate it-had to be rushed to the vet for nasty temperament changes, and wow talk about mean. He bit anything and everyone including me at least 3 times. Well, we have all been working very hard with this little tiger to bring that demon temperament under control and he's coming along quite nicely, gets along with all of us, loves to play with my dogs and run in the yard. So what's the problem? I think I have spoiled him with love and discipline. He has to come over every day now. It's so cute. All my son has to say is "want to go see the dogs?" and he's jumping all over the place. I sure hope the owner doesn't come to claim him back because he is so well behaved now. All he needed was a little discipline and letting him know he can't run the show. He doesn't even bare his teeth at me anymore. He's such a doll. All the dogs lay in front of the full-view door and take their naps in the sun.
GROSS doggie question.
Bruiser is 14 months old, Duke is a year old. Bruiser licks Duke's behind a lot. We've only had Bruiser for two months, and I've noticed the licking just within the last couple of weeks. He also licks Duke's eyes and ears.
I don't think Duke's anal glands need expressed. He doesn't drag his butt or anything like that, and his stool is fine.
What's up with this behavior, anyone know?
Anyone got good low-cal doggie recipes?
I'm looking for both snack and meal recipes for an older dog that's kind of sedentary but LOVES to eat. I'm convinced the food at the grocery store is either highly caloric or filled with a bunch of junk.
Thanks for your suggestions!
a doggie purse is personal property.

And so will my doggie Tasha. She loved kitties. sm
Her fave was chasing them and then letting them chase her. I lost her when she was 14,too. She's been gone for 3 years but I still miss her.
**Click for PICTURE of Jake, Desperado's doggie!**
I just love all these "kid" pictures! Jake is such a fashion forward little man with that scarf of his!
For us, my husband swears my little doggie goes nuts whenever I leave sm
the house. I refuse to believe this. We have a love-hate relationship. haha She always sits in my favorite chair whenever she KNOWS I'm fixin to get off work and she won't budge either! She gives wayy more attention to the kids and husband than to me! I'm the one who feeds her all the time while cooking, so I kid with my hubby that she's afraid her "chef and cook" is not going to come home whenever I leave. I've NEVER seen her act the way my husband describes. He says she runs in circles, runs around, tries to look out the windows and will do this until I come home! the other night my husband took the kids to a ball game and she just watched them walk out the door and didn't flinch the whole time. I think it's hilarious!
Love the doggie car-seat idea - you are a good mommy :)
I'm so sorry about your sister's dogs.
Wow..my mom had a schnauzer-mix named Jasper years ago!! Great little doggie!! nm
