there is a place in the middle east that a man gets stray dogs and chains them to a wall and starves them to death.  He calls it ART!!!!!!!! 
People actually pay money to see the animals dying becasue it is supposedly considered and artistic thing.  It makes me sick!!!!

At least to my husband and I it is.  We have been having alot of trouble with Bell showing alot of aggresiveness towards Buble. 

Well this morning after three weeks of having him, they PLAYED together.  I mean really played.  She was wrestling with him and doing her big butt in the air for play stance. 

The ywere doing zoomies all over the yard running from there area to ours.  baxter just looked at them crazily saying that it was way to hot to act like that!!HAHAH (it is about 81 degrees here today) 

I think finnally Bell has accepted that he is here to stay and that her Daddy is still hers.   O I was so happy

Ihave left the dryer on before but dont know if that works because that only stays on for about an hour and a half.  I will try the fan

All of our dogs have their crates in our laundry room.  Bell, Baxter and Buble are in there during the day while we are gone and usually it is just Buble in there at night but sometimes one of the others will want to sleep in there. 

For the past two weeks everynight Buble has been waking up and barking at 2 and 4 or 5 in the morning. At first I thought he had to go out which he didnt he just looks at me like I am crazy that I dont want to play. 

I have just been ignoring him and hoping that it gets better.  It doesnt matter if the other dogs are with him or not he still barks like this.  I want to get a hold of it becasue I can hear him all the way back in our bedroom and the babies room is going to be right across from the laundry room so I know she will hear it. 

Help Please!!

Welcome to BPO!!!!
My name is Amber.  I am mom to three great dogs, Bell 2 1/2 yr old wiemeraner, Baxter 2 yr old English Springer Spaniel, and Buble (Boo Blay) 9 week old English Springer Spaniel. 

We also have a little one on the way.  I am due in July.  I also live in Georgia.  We live about 30 minutes east of Albany.  Your baby is adorable!!!!!!  You will find alot of help from everyone on this site.  I know that I have!!!

Well thats a bummer Upstate Guide Dogs is no more!!  They closed their doors.     I don't see anything similar close by but I will keep checking!

O I hate that!!   We were really excited about becoming puppyraisers.  The only thing about it is that you get to keep them until they are about 15 to 18 months old and then have to give them up for guide dog training.  
But I do know that if the dog does not have the personality for it they will ask if you would like to give them a forever home. 
I had a friend who did it.  She raised a Black Lab puppy and he left her at 18 months.  She said that she cried and cried but then after months of guide dog training they were invited to see their puppy do what they had learned and you even met the person who gets the dog!!  She said that when you see the goofy puppy that you had and all of a sudden they are leading someone with such responsiblity and pride it is worth it.  She is now on her 5th puppy to raise after him. 

Thanks ffor the advice everyone.  I think that his first show is going to be in November but am not sure so we have plenty of work to do. 
Can we take a vidoe camera or voice recorder to these shows so that we can get the noises and play at home? Just wondering if not then we will buy one.
