Food Discussion & Information / Nature's Variety
« on: August 05, 2007, 09:03:36 am »
I was thinking about switching Phelan to a raw diet and was wondering if anyone had any experience with Nature's Variety? We have been giving him the beef shank bones since he was little and just today tried him on the neck bones which he destroyed readily. He's just not overly enthused with kibble. The Nature's variety offers kibble, canned and frozen raw in many different meats. I know ThatDuckyBoy feeds raw and i think mentioned feeding kibble in the am? Really and experiences with raw foods would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ann.

Anything Non-Dog Related / New tips NDR
« on: June 27, 2007, 01:05:39 pm »
My mail carrier told me that the US Postal service sent out
a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away. I Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The yellow jackets just veer around you.

1. All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the
dryer! It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.

2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or
cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

3. It takes the odour out of books and photo albums that
don't get opened too often.

4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a
belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or
computer) screen.

6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling,
wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.

7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet
of Bounce.

8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual
sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle
through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of
Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in
a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan.

14. Eliminate odours in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce
at the bottom of the wastebasket.

15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of
Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe
the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used
sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

18. Eliminate odours in dirty laundry. Place an individual
sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in
your shoes or sneakers overnight.

20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep
the bees away.

21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before
folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.

Some interesting tips, i'm trying out the ant one on our little baby colony that keeps invading! Grrr!

Groans, Gripes, Brags & Boasts / A small rant about the ignorant
« on: June 18, 2007, 02:49:15 am »
Phelan and I went to the dog park today, had a swim, walked through the trail and back for a dip. On our return 2 dobermans and a golden joined him in the water. The dobies are both rescues and one is a bit fear aggressive-barks at everything, a little worrisome. So he's playing with them and chases them out of the water and meets a big fluffy German shepard who is walking with a small labX. The owner of the labX starts screaming for her dog to get a way from that dog, I'm thinking the dobie because she's barking, but no she means Phelan. Literally she starts screaming for her dog to get away from him and she doesn't want him to play with THAT dog, but won't go get him because then she would have to go near Phelan. Totally shocked, okay i know that he may be perceived as scary looking  ::) but he's not doing anything, her dog came up to him and they are playing. The dobie is still barking. So I go and grab him, tell her that he's a bullmastiff and not a pit (no offense cause we all know I like them) and she gives me a look. So I told her she was ignorant (not so nicely) and left before I exploded. Seriously do some research my dog was not bred to bite. She was with the Shepherd owner, must know a little about breed ignorance. So mad!!

Games & Jokes / My dog is a ....what?
« on: April 28, 2007, 07:16:52 pm »
What breeds has your dog been called?

Phelan is a Bullmastiff, we've gotten:
Rottweiler?
Pitbull
Chocolate Lab (um?)
Do you know what he is? (Yes, I do!!)
Staff
Dogue de Bordeaux...or really...is he Hooch?
Boxer
Mastiff from the Canary Islands (Because he looked like the dog in her puppy class, hmmm, that one made me laugh, but who am I to tell her she's got a Presa in her class, apparently ignorance IS bliss)
And the next person who tell me he looks like a Tiger is going to get a whopper of a story. Tiger? He's Red brindle sure, but Tiger?

Boxer Discussions & Pictures / Phelan & Advil
« on: April 07, 2007, 06:15:50 am »
So the little Monkey was fine yesterday after we made him throw up the small amount of Advil he got into (thanks to poison control), ate fine and was his same playful self. This morning he went out to the bathroom, came in and vomitted a mix of bile and blood---off to the vet we go. The good news is his stomach lining is probably just irritated from the Advil and peroxide, so he's got some medicine to coat his stomach to let it settle down. The little monkey costs me a minor heart attack two days in a row and $150 and now he gets to eat chicken and rice for the next three days!! Must be nice ::)

Treatment & Preventative Meds / Poison Control
« on: April 06, 2007, 04:53:50 pm »
Of course it is Good Friday today, the day Phelan picked to go into my gym bag and chew on a bottle of Advil until the cap came off and some came out (he had been sleeping on the bed, the little monkey). So we had to call the Emergency vet who redirected us to ASPCA Poison control (didn't know it exsisted). He's fine, we induced vomiting just to be on the safe side as we were told two advil (the amount i thought he got) wouldn't be much harm to a 90lb dog. He threw up and no pills were seen but some liquid advil was present. So because I didn't know it exsisted I am letting everyone know the phone # 1 888 426 4435 so you can add it too your records, be warned it is a $55 US charge and you need to give your credit card up front but any follow up calls are included (They definately should be for $55)

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Coconuts??
« on: March 26, 2007, 02:48:57 pm »
Does anyone know if Coconuts are safe for dogs? Phelan found the shell of one in the park the other day and went nuts....zoomie s, which are rare for him. So I bought one in the store and gave it to him to play with, but on the off chance that he cracks it open, is it safe?

Food Discussion & Information / What wouldn't you feed your dog?
« on: February 08, 2007, 11:56:07 pm »
Stephanie's thread got me thinking; Phelan is a picky eater and we try to add healthy things to his food to make it more enticing, everyone has lots of ideas on things to add but what are some things you wouldn't or shouldn't add?
Obviously I know about chocolate,xylitol and raisins but what else wouldn't you add?
