I am the mother to a 6 year old, crazy, whiney, flat coated retriever named Harley...he is very jealous of Lucy since we live in western ny where it is still 25 degrees and it snowed yesterday...wh ere is spring??

Welcome - looking forward to photos!!

OMGoodness they are so cute together.  They look like they will be fast friends.

Congratulation s on your Easter Bunny??

I look forward to lots of pictures of her growing up!

Well I bought a GPS last night - Magellin 4260 or something like that - it was more than I wanted to spend but I want the GPS for dummies model - I want it to speak turn by turn instructions - large screen (4 inch) and bluetooth so I don't have to wear that annoying ear piece.

I actually don't know if I will keep this one the guy at best buy seemed knowledgable but seemed to be going back and forth between the two models I was looking at.  This one was on sale so I brought it home, maybe the other one will be on sale this week?

I saw the pink one - hubby said "I don't think so it is bad enough there are stuffed bears all over the truck - the pink GPS doesn't go with the Harley stickers!

Holly - That is so funny!!  I think my GPS will go out the window if it starts getting snitty with me!

Thanks again,
I will report back with updates for people who are considering buying a GPS

I had an elkhound quite a few year ago, here name was Margo she was so beautiful - but she wasn't very nice : (
We got her after we were married only about a month and we lived in a small town where you could bring your dog many places with you, so she was very socialized, we went to obedience school, so she was trained, and she still wasn't nice.  She prefered to be outside alone than to be with us, when we came home she would walk up to me wag her tail one time and walk away and she totally ignored my husband.

In defense of elkhounds we think something was wrong with her we bought her from a vet at what we thought was 9 weeks when her papers arrived she had been 15 weeks.  We also think she may have been interbreed (at that time we weren't into checking into histories and visiting breeders we saw her she was gorgeous and we took her home...we have learned alot!)

A friend of my sons has an elkhound also prefers to be by herself but at least she will greet you and then walk away.

For those of you with elkhounds I don't mean to criticize your breed!

So not to upset anyone and because we all think this about our babies - I thought my Stoli (Eng. Springer Spaniel) was the cutest puppy in the world (sorry Harley you were strange looking!)  I look at pictures of Stoli and my heart just melts (sadly she is gone)....anyway back to the point, I now think that Lucca is probably the cutest puppy I have ever seen (he even gives Stoli a run for her money!)  I will have to scan in a puppy photo of her.

I just want to hug him!!  I would be a horrible Mom to Lucca as I would just melt and give in to whatever he was doing - eating my shoe - but look how cute he is, stealing the trash...who cares look how cute he is.

Please keep the pictures coming!

Harley seems to have beef allergies - he gets all itchy (although I've never seen hives) Beef also seems to dry out his skin (thus making things more itchy!)

We feed Canidae (sp?) chicken  he seems to like it we did feed natural balance duck and potatoe that worked also but was quite a bit more money, was involved in the tainted dog food scare and then we heard about canidae here and decided to try it.  So far so good

Best of luck that certainly is a big baby with lots of room for hives!!
