General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Beware of "greenies"
« on: November 27, 2005, 03:47:40 pm »
I just received an email warning dog lovers about the possible danger of "greenies".  There have been instances where dogs have incurred bowel obstructions from these treats.  To learn more, go to http://www.kirotv.com/investigations/5325021/detail.html  for an investigative report, and to the "urban legends" site, http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/greenies.asp

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Help with making changes to Profile
« on: October 10, 2005, 02:56:13 pm »
I would really appreciate it if someone could give me step by step...easy to understand...i nstuctions for changing the info on my Profile.  I have tired to add my signature info, plus a photo of my pyr and newf that will automatically appear each time I post or reply.  I am  ashamed to tell you how many times I have tried to do this and failed to have the info show up in the Members section, or automatically when I post or reply....but if you were to guess 5 times....you would still be a little low.    :-[

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Unhappy members...members leaving etc.
« on: October 10, 2005, 02:47:53 pm »
I have been reading some of the posts about members leaving BPO.  And, from what I have gathered, based on numerous replies, these members were considered to have valuable input by numerous other members.  I don't know what started the dissention, but it is sad to see.  A national rescue group to which I belong has had similar conflicts among a few members.  How much better it would be for all if we could respect the opinion of others, try not to take things personally, and not "attack" members with whom we disagree on a forum that is viewed by all.  How dreadfully boring  life would be if we all felt exactly the same on all issues.    Of course, there will be times when a member will put forth an opinion with which we disagree or find appaling.  Certainly there are words that can be used to express dissatisfactio n that are not personal attacks.  I assume that all of the people with this forum have joined because they love dogs and want only the best for them.

Medical Conditions & Diseases / New Deadly Dog Flu
« on: October 01, 2005, 09:21:33 am »
There is a deadly flu virus that is spreading in dogs. Info about it has appeared in recent articles in the NYTimes, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and some national TV news broadcasts.  It started in 2004 with Greyhounds in Florida who ate  contanminated horsemeat.  It is highly contagous...sp read through the air....and is creating widespread concern at dog shows, kennels etc.  The mortality rate is 5% - 8%. For more info, you can do a search...dog flu...on Google, Yahoo etc.  One of the most comprehensive articles  I have seen on it is at  http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/dogflu.asp
