Food Discussion & Information / I have become a freak for my dog...
« on: March 12, 2006, 07:14:17 pm »
After several days of researching the foods listed in the whole dog journal, I have opted to switch Zoe to one of those premium brands of kibble.  I also made a batch of the Satin Balls today and let me just say... WOW!  That is a LOT of meatballs!  My husband thinks I love Zoe more than my family 'cause I'd do that for her, but not for them... He thinks I'm a freak.  :-\
Now for my question... ???If I want her to put on some weight, how many Satin Balls to feed?  At about 3 tablespoons each, should I give her 1 or 2 per day?  Every day or every other day?  Thanks everyone!

Let me clarify.  I feed the SD large breed Lamb and Rice...first ingredients are Lamb Meal, Brewers Rice, Rice Flour...howeve r wheat and corn follow shortly after so I know I can do better. 

Thanks for the great advice and links.  I will do some further investigating and see what's available in my area.  You guys are so helpful and knowledgeable.

Food Discussion & Information / Canidae?

I saw an old post talking a bit about Canidae... I've been feeding Science Diet large breed and I have a feeling it is inferior.  Can someone clarify the differences for me?  Thanks!

Food Discussion & Information / Why are they called Satin Balls?

 ??? ??? ???
It seems like a funny name.  I just found the recipe and it looks like something Zoe will go crazy for.  She's tall, but lanky.  She could use a bit of cushion...

I was excited for Zoe's first drool too!  My husband was not as excited...stil l isn't...  Zoe left a puddle beside her water bowl this morning.  DH stepped in it and I found him drying his sock with my hair dryer!  Great laugh for a Thursday morning. ;D

Wow, I didn't think they'd herd adults too. 
Lacey is beautiful.

We do realize they are high energy.  We indend to go through obediance early on.  Our boys are older and bigger and are all about the frisbee and ball playing.  I guess I'm not too worried about the herding instinct with them.  This is a male pup and his personality is yet to be determined, I think.  Zoe is pretty timid. I'm hoping that getting it as a pup, we can sort of mold it to our household with training and plenty of socialization.  I guess I'm not as concerned about the aussie side as I am the heeler side.  What about barking?  Are they big barkers?

We have our beautiful one year old saint, Zoe.  We recently lost...3 weeks ago...our 3 year old spaniel mix to a neurological illness that only lasted 2 1/2 days...  We miss him.  Zoe is lonely.  My husband has been looking for a new canine companion.  We're looking at an aussie/heeler mix that will be ready to go at the end of the month.  I'm not sure I'm ready...I think the kids are...I know Zoe would like some company.  And what about this mix of breeds?  I think I know what we're getting into, but not positive.  Anyone out there with some experience with aussies or heelers?

I've been checking this site out for the past few days.  It's great...and addicting!  I live in Nebraska with my husband and three boys, age 11,11 and 8.  I have an adorable female saint bernard named Zoe.   ;D

Saint Bernard General Discussions / elbow pads?

My first post...
My Zoe is just over 1 year old.  She's had these soft-tissue pillow-type things on the backs of her front elbows.  Are these normal?  I thought they were built-in elbow pads for when she plops down...but today I noticed one is bigger than the other.  Are these normal?
