My saint has been itching alot lately and chewing at
himself...He actually has chewed so much on his rear
that there is a scab.
We've checked all three dogs for fleas but there are none.
could this just be dry skin? We've tried gold bond
powder...itch spray..peroxid e...bathing him with flea
shampoo....not hing has worked...we have thought about food
allergy  so we went back to the food we fed him when he was a pup that he did so well on..(Royal Canin)
Should we take him to the vet or is there anything else
we can try? thanks again....

just looking through some pics

Toby has an eye discharge.   It is coming out the corner of his eye and you can see it around the bottom of his eyelid.

I wipe it but then it comes back.could this be some kind of infection? Is there any way I can help him?

he will let me wipe it but not enough to get it all out.

thanks for any suggestions.

Hi all...  last weekend we rescued another saint....he had been tied out around a tree for the last 2 months...I don't know what his situation was before that but I know that the owner said she didn't have any luck house training him so she made him an outside dog! UGH!
Any way he is 5 years old....seems to be loving but very afraid.  We have 2 other saints and he is afraid of them. Its only been 5 days...I know it will take time....
My question is.....In our home...he will be an inside dog..is it possible to house train a 5 year old?  Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.  He has had a couple of accidents...I take him out when he will let me....He won't come to us yet when we call him...I'm thinking there was no interaction with him at all before.
We have a doggy door so I was hoping that he would follow the other dogs out but like I said he seems afraid of them...he won't go where they go.....we do walk them all together though..... anyway.....  any help?

I LOVE IT!!!  So many beautiful cards and pictures! ya hoo!

my hubby reads this board constantly. Do you're hubbys or boyfriends also read? just wondering..... ....... 

can you tell me....is it normal for the bottoms of a saints eyes to be red? Thanks

It's been 3 weeks now since we adopted Zoe and brought her home from Kentucky. Since she has been here it has been nothing short of amazing! Not sure what we did without her.  Duke feels the same way.  They are getting along great!
We take them on daily walks ,people stop us and think we are crazy for having two big dogs...we say we are LUCKY!  we extended their area in the back yard so they would have more room to run and play.
They are both so cuddly....when hubby gets out of bed in the morning for work...they crawl in his place.lol
At night they can't wait for him to get home from work.
Our life now revolves around our furbabies.
Where we go...they go.....We just wish that there were more places that allowed you to bring you're dogs.
We love Duke but...I just can't say enough good things about a rescue. It's like everything we do is new to her.
she didn't even know what a treat was when we brought her home. Toys? she didn't know what to do with them.  In just this short time she has come so far.
We got her changed over from the "shelter" food to Innova
and she is doing great on it. I think she has finally got it that there will always be food there for her.
I know I've rambled on and on but I just wanted to give you all an update since I don't post alot.
Also want you to know how much we learn from you all.
When you're pets are sick.....we feel for you.....when you are proud of you're pets...so are we!  What a great community this is......Life is good!
Can you stand to look at a few pics?
