When I got my last poodle from a rescue, they named him Basil. UGH. Didn’t flow out of mouth easily to call him. They thought he was born around Christmas time, and asked DH if he would rename him. DH said yes, to Kris Kringle. He was Kris forever after. Pick a name that’s easy to say.

WHAT??!! I wasn’t doing anything

I feed my boy 1/2 can FF pate am, 1/2 can pm. He has dry, science diet available all the time. He’s 2, good weight normal potty.

When I got Pywacket 2 years ago, I had 2 dogs. Poodle and Maltese. Poodle and cat were best buds, Maltese still hates cat. Poodle went to Bridge in June. Maltese will be 14 on Halloween. Neither dog had any problems grabbing a catnip mouse, or other similar soft toy. Younger dogs might try to...

Yes we did compete. He was in 4 registries, titled in 3. I stayed mainly in Florida and Georgia for the trials. It was sooooo much fun, and met so many nice people. When he was 3, he started to refuse jumps. I wasn’t going to make him, so he retired. Turned out his spine was the reason, from...

My understanding is they were bred down in size from standard Aussies. They are now called North American Aussies, and are working towards AKC recognition, and I don’t think the Australian Shepherd Club has recognized them either. The nipping is Aussie behavior instinct. They can/will herd...

My mom used to say if you gave a dog candy, they would get worms. I asked her if she got worms after eating candy? Well, no. So it’s the same with tap water. If it’s ok for humans, it’s ok for pets. Who would drink from puddles and toilets.

My boy has dry available all the time, gets 1/2 can FF am and pm. He’s 2, and he’s been 11 pounds since adult. He does beg for kitty crack in the evening, so gets about 4 pieces.

I had a Moyen poodle, still have a Maltese. Both were getting older. Maltese will be 14 next month, poodle was 13, went to the Bridge this summer. Got cat because I couldn’t stand the thought of being petless when the dogs were gone. Poodle and cat were best buds. Played, chased around the...

I’ll stand in line for as long as it takes for the clerk to check me out. I was in Walmart. One night had exactly one item dude stood there and watched me like I was gonna steal it. I didn’t even put it in a bag grabbed the receipt and left. I run into trouble when I buy produce I just don’t...

Daughter has one for her two cats. Both she and they like it. She says it helps stop litter from getting tracked out. Her vet, who also has cats, recommends it.

I had to put my husbands dog down this summer. I still have a hard time looking at “his” corner of the couch. Not doing that last potty call. Not putting his food out. It’s not weird to grieve your way. There’s a hole in your heart, and it does get better, but on YOUR schedule.

Went to two of his concerts up north daughter got his autograph when she was around 12 she’s a parakeet or was. He was a good guy.

Was in the grocery store on my daughters birthday cashier asked me how are you doing? I said oh I’m feeling old oh I said yeah today is my daughter’s birthday. She’s 51 I feel decrepit.

I questioned my vet about this too. Cat is indoor only. Here, it’s required for rabies. He gets whatever other shots she thinks he needs. My dogs go out in the yard to potty, hard telling what could be on their feet. A possum has been hanging out there the past 2 nights. Afraid to let my 8#...

Get the lizzard

Also in Florida. Can’t tell you how many mornings I’ve woken up to find one or two half eaten bugs around. He actually stays in the kitchen waiting for them, then patrols the house hunting for them. Not much you can do, might try some roach bait in a cabinet the cats can’t get into.

Originally Ohio, been in Florida almost 40 years, too snowy and cold to move back.

I bought a cheap fishing rod and reel on Amazon. Took the reel off, tied a bunch of ribbons on the end. Works well, he knows where it’s kept, yells at me to get it out.
