I am so sorry to hear about Chewbacca.
My thoughts are with you Cori.

lol.........I love how kids' minds work. 

Awwwe, but he's so cute?  How can he not be allowed anywhere he wants?

Gunther has an aweful time with his feet in the winter.  At least once a year he rips off part of a pad or nail........an d also gets cuts on the backs of his legs (shin area I guess on a dog, but on the back).

We just put neosporin on it although he probably licks that right off.  If it's bad enough or isn't healing properly we will wrap his foot.  I always have vetwrap, guaze and large bandages/cotton wrap and betadine on hand.  But I've only had to wrap his foot on 2 occasions for a few days a time.

Awwe, he is adorable!  Still looks very much the puppy.
In a couple of the shots he has a bit of norfolk terrier look to him..........a lthough he looks quite a bit bigger than they are. 

Wonderful that you are fostering.  And yes, I could easily see how he would become a foster failure....... .....lol.

Hello! 
I'm wondering if you have socialized her around other children other than your own.  If not, she may not be comfortable around strange children and find them threatening.  Its one thing to have them in your own family........ ..its quite another to meet strange children outside the family.

I'm thinking desensitizatio n therapy may help in this situation.

Does this only happen in and around your own home?  How does she react to strange adults coming in the home?

I do think that some work needs to be done in the home as well.  Basic training.  once you say someone is okay to be in the home, she needs to respect that.  She is being overprotective ..........I don't necessarily think this is aggressive behavior.

Awwwe, poor Brie.  i hope her foot heals up quickly and it's not infected.

Poor merlin.  Can't say I have a dog that does crop circles and thank God I haven't had to deal with puddles in the house for some time (knock on wood).........but have done the blind poop step.
