Big Paws Only Dog Forums

It was good, bava had doggles, so he was stylin'! He got microchipped, and didn't even flinch.  We saw the biggest great dane we have ever seen in our life.  Bava got growled out, etc a bunch of times by the mojos, and the big dogs were nice to him.  He's just a little fellow for now, but little dogs still don't like him.. But he seems to really like the little dogs...I don't get it?

We didn't really click with any of the adoptees, so it's still just a one dogbert family.  He's been pretty much sleeping since all of the excitement of the day. 

I love the dog fishing! That's too funny, good snacks for dogs.

Hey, the 2 best pages I know of for info on current hurricanes are these:

For those of you that don't go through these, people get real interesting when they start getting close.  All of the milk, eggs, bread, little debbies snack cakes, and batteries dissapear off the shelves of wal-mart as if by magic.  Why eggs and milk?? I have no idea, and wonder if it is just a southern thing.  I have actually seen people push and shove over a loaf of bread.  Getting gas is tough, and people have really short tempers trying to get things done in a short amount of time.  A lady in an rv tried to run over another motorist last year after she broke in line to get gas and someone tried to stop her.   It's all kind of funny really, Mel and I usually are ready at the mention of a hurricane.  I went and bought $100 of gas for the generator on Tue or Wed, when we heard katrina was coming our way.

I know I can hardly wait to spend sunday boarding up the windows, picking up everything, moving all the deck stuff to the basement, etc..  again.. If this keeps up I will not have any trees left We lost 3-4 oaks and a pine or two for Ivan, and 3 Oaks for Dennis.

Hrm...... Gotta go to the ABC store 

That's sad Nicole.  I don't know, I really like old dogs, I guess because our two dogs were senior, Casey our sheltie was 15, and he died last may, and our lab was 12 when she died last year. 

They deserve to be treated well, and to be able to take things at their own pace, and loved on even though they may have bad breath and poor eyesight, and maybe they can't play like a new puppy... they've been there for you for soo many years, the least a person can do is give a little back when they are at then end of their years.

But dogs have no pockets to hold your keys when your out and wearing something that has no pockets.

I vote for Canine Health Foundation: They fund research grants for all sorts of canine health ailments.

This may be totally irellavant.. but here goes.  Our macaw Cookie Monster is scared of stuff a lot of times, like a new toy, a new appliance, or whatever.. usually something odd.  Mel & I totally ignore Cookie and interact with the item .. whooping and hollering and acting like we are having the best of times, with our back turned to him.  He can't stand it! and curiosity will get the best of him, fear or not, he will have to come check it out... and hey, its not so bad.  Thats how we get over his fear stuff anyways, but hey he's a bird, so maybe wouldn't work the same.  We just don't coddle him when he is afraid, so that his fear is not rewarded.
