Conundrum 1 #54 January 26, 2008 QuoteI can't speak for Nightingale, but I'd just guess that it's a pretty public forum in which to share that kind of thing. My mother, for instance, wouldn't share how much she paid for ANYTHING--no matter whether she got it at a bargain or paid twice the going price. Putting it online? It would never happen. Edited to add: Maybe there's a good, masculine-sounding butterfly out there that you could name him after. It's just odd that she didn't have any problem posting about the thousands of dollars she was paying to try and save her cat, but refuses to post how much she bought a dog for. At any rate - Nightingale: I really was just wondering so I'm not sure why you got snippy. I guess I can understand why you'd want to buy one and not rescue. I wanted to buy a boxer for a long time because I could never find them at shelters. I was lucky enough to find a boxer dedicated rescue and we ended up getting a puppy (1.5) who is wonderful. It's the luck of the draw I guess. Good luck with your new dog, you'll enjoy him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It only stops wagging when I try to clip his toenails.

Nightingale 0 #56 January 26, 2008 I got annoyed because you asked twice, and because you didn't show any interest other than how much he cost. Pets are more than dollar signs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #60 January 26, 2008 Try the wintergreen lifesavers stuck inside a treat toy so he has to work to remove the lifesaver. James does that for his Boston Terrier, and it works great for doggy breath. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFWAJG 4 #63 January 26, 2008 Congrats Nightingale! What a cutie. Dogs are wonderful. For the vet bills, consider a raw foods diet. There is growing evidence that many diseases for animals can be prevented by giving animals raw foods and avoiding commercial dog food. There is a significant study, called the Pottenger Cat study, which demonstrated that the raw foods diet is far superior to a cooked/commercial diet. Read Natural Remidies for Dogs and Cats by Puotinen for more info. Dogs are omnivores and will eat raw veggies as readily as raw meat. Mine are loving the diet and Patty Cake, my 11 year old Aussie Cattle dog, is improving by milestones. PC has had arthritis for years. While on commercial dog food, she can barely walk. When on raw foods, she does wonderfully. The recent snow did not exacerbate her arthritis at all. Good Luck with the Pap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last time he visited the vet, she was astonished at how clean his teeth were and even complimented Debbie on her work! His breath, nevertheless, still stinks.

ltdiver 3 #66 January 26, 2008 Quote I'm sure you know this but keep in mind you need to protect a dog that size from predatory animals such as hawks. And owls. My sister's little long haired Chihuahua got carried off by one when she let him out for a quick minute before bedtime. Kris...you'll have so much fun with (JoJo) when you get him home! Post pics (or video) of Jones' first impression! I'm sure it will be priceless! The major thing that you'll find with dogs vs cats is that you can't leave the critter at home with a bowl of food and a litter box over the weekend. You have to take him with you! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sister's little long haired Chihuahua got carried off by one when she let him out for a quick minute before bedtime. Eeeek! I know exactly what your saying ... we've had a few chickens disappear under very suspicious circumstances. Debbie has a system for determining whether or not foul play (no pun intended! ) is involved in their disappearance. If it looks like a pillow exploded in the back yard: most likely a hawk or an owl. No evidence of foul play: Two possibilities: 1. Aliens - beamed up. 2. Coyote or Fox. If the chickens have their throats slit and they are lined up in a row all parallel to each other in the chicken coup...well that's an easy one: Mink!

Muenkel 0 #72 January 26, 2008 Just for you Chelle:My sister's poodle: $700 My other sister's Akita: $1500 My younger brother has 2 dogs: Soft coated wheaten Terrier; $1800. A Kerry Blue Terrier: $1600. My older brother: A mutt: $0 I know all those dogs seem politically incorrect (except the mutt), but since they were already born; they deserved a home. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot1 0 #73 January 26, 2008 Quote BTW, two dogs are easier to care for than one dog. True. Today I just picked up a girlfriend for my male Boston Terrier. We have a 11yr old Cocker Spaniel, but he was wearing her out. She is already scrappin with him.
