Mixed Breed Discussion / Re: So Frustrated I Could Cry!
« on: July 15, 2005, 12:18:54 am »
Dear Grumppybunny,
Fear not, YOU ARE NOT A BAD DOG MOM. I seriously think after dealing with several rescues and some that are not that there are just some dogs that as hard as we try are going to have "spurts".  One thing I learned the hard way is that if you go out anticipating an encounter it's going to travel right down the leash and he's going to sense it. 
I don't know if this will help but you might want to try it. Our trainer told us (when we were going through remedeial ?sp training with our dog aggressive border) that as soon as we started to see her start to signal stand directly in front of her , I'm assuming to block the view and give her a command - any command and to try to keep her focused. It works BUT  I wasn't dealing with off leash dogs. In the meantime I would tell the dope to leash their dog. Sorry I'm a bit p*$$y  tonight.

It came out last year I think. When it first came out it was part of a bathing systm and was sold on it's own site. Now you can get it through www.dog.com   (thought it was pet edge but I checked) www.dog.com is Dog Outfitters.  When they first came out they were only selling the little? ones but now they have one that's 6" long  ;D . I know it looks weird but I swear it works, cuts grooming time in half at least.
Oh - Kiki isn't really a blond, she just wants to be one. Her sister really was a redhead though. That's why after all this time we strill can't figure out what all is in this mix. We tell everone that she is a Bat Eared Fox Hound from the Serengetti. -----Way to much Discovery channel at one point.

 It this cross between a rake and a flea comb looking thing that takes out all of the undercoat - here' the magic part- without pulling. Yea !! The hair rolls right off of them. It is weird looking. When it came in the mail I took one looik at it and slapped myself as I was yelling SUCKER. I figured that since i paid for it I may as well try it. Wa-la I love it. No pulling with their coats = good deal. I think I ordered it from pet edge. Last year they had a system available to groomers but it had chemicals and stuff, this is just the comb thingy. Looks weird but works.   I have a friend that's a groomer, she is starting to hate it- not the dogs , the people.

Kiki said "hey watch it with the preppy thing ! If anything I was a blond cheerleader that drove a rag top at 16 in my other life"  I think it all stems from my husband watcing dog shows on TV with her and telling her that she is more beautiful than any other.  When she needs a reality check I point out the fact that she snores so bad she sounds like she is going to suck her whole face up her nose and her sister was a real redhead  :o

Marit,
Wow, and human kids too? I'd be huffing and puffing and I'm not sure if it would be from the weather. my kids are older and on their own. Well, one is half way there anyway. Stories, just wait...... ;D  My sister gives me quite a bit to talk about.
If it makes you feel any better it is miserable in the Pa. mountains too. No one has wanted to eat for the past two days and it seems like they are going through a second "lets dump hair all over". I honestly think Casey is the biggest offender and she has the shortest hair. Thank you to whoever invented the Furminator I only need to vacume twice a day now, and I'm not a neat freak.

Hi and I'm glad you like the name. Actually, we got her when she was 6 months old and since she was responding to Noodles we just stuck with it. It fits her somehow. We call her Doodle Bug too.  As soon as I get the gist of the site down I'll put up more pictures. In the meantime Noodles and all the kids can be seen at http:MMilavec.photo site.com   We are taking a few of them to the Pa. State Special Olympic summer games this weekend so by next week I hope I have some new pictures of Casey, Maveric and Ryder up. Casey is certified for therepy work and needs to get out, Maveric is my sisters "baby" and she is an athlete and Ryder is the baby (lol) and in training so to speak. Ti will be at home with the girls protecting them unless he sees a bunny,  in which case he will hide in the tub or shower, then Abbie, Noodles and Kiki will take over. OK, I lied. Kiki won't do anything, she does not like to get wet or dirty. Abbie will heard toads and Noodles will be furthering her education in excavation.
I started going through a lot of the pictures. All I can say is WOW ! It is nice to find a site that seems to be built for everyone.

I'm so sorry for your loss and for Gypsy's. I had a similar situation saveral years ago. I tried everything. After almost two weeks of Kiki not eating my vet told me to go (as in now...) and get another dog. I wanted to wait but went out that day to a rescue and brought Casey home. After the first two days I was ready to take her back. Kiki was throwing up and rolling in it, you name it. My husbad said to give it at least a week. I didn't need to - by day four all was OK. Anyway, just a thought.

Hi. I'm new to Big Paws Only. A friend that does not have dogs sent me a link to the site. She has been watching my "kids" over the past few years and thought that this would be the perfect place for us. I have seven dogs all together, two of which are not Big Paw material. Those would be my Border Collie, Abbie and my- we really are not sure what after almost 9 years-Kiki. Casey - Lab/samoyed mix would be our first sort of big paws and then we have our four shilohs. Titan, Maveric, Noodles and Ryder. Ti is the oldest at 2 1/2 and Ryder the youngest at 15 months. I'm not a breeder and all of mine with the exception of Ryder, for another month or so, are either spayed or neutered.
