Medical Conditions & Diseases / oh my gosh the entire kitchen carpet is covered
« on: June 25, 2007, 05:36:48 am »
so my tummy hasnt been feeling the greatest today. so around noon i was going to lay down and take a nap. but as soon as i closed my eyes a cloud of stink hit me like a punch in the face! of course the dogs. so i walked out into the kitchen. and....never in my life, ever. have i seen. ever.the horror WORSE THAN WINDIGO poor max had an atack of terrible diareah and strung a terribly wavy trail all the way to the back door and proceded to turn around in circles (by the design) not knowing what to do with himself. i felt so bad for him he was mortified. when he saw me he hung his big head down, he was sure he was going to be in big trouble. poor max i love him. i let him know it was ok and put him out in the fenced in part of the yard incase his tummy got upset again.
so! off  i went to rent the rug doctor. i decided to take a break ive gone over the floor once. but the smell is still unbelieveable. im serious i have no clue what kind of bug he could've cought. he was spitting up some food and water last night. happened about 4 times. im pretty sure it's related. but he's his jolly old self otherwise. appetite, active, personality, all normal. so if it doesnt resolve itself soon well be making a trip to the vet.
it realy is a big stress reliever to have a place to vent where other people relate. any way, i gotta go check back into poo doodoo..i mean doody...er duty, wish me luck. if i havent posted by tomorrow. then it got the best of me and i didnt make it out alive....

after my mom heard about the mess i had ahead of me to clean up. she says" bet you wish you didnt have those big dogs now!"   i just smiled and said "na i'd like to get a 4th"

Behavior, Housebreaking, Obedience / boog's potty/kennel training
« on: June 24, 2007, 09:42:21 pm »
alright, i'd LOVE some input/advice/experience from every one that would. booger's potty training has not been going like it should. im crate training him. the same way as i did max. max did wonderfull by the way. never had an easier dog to potty train. but boog on the other hand. likes to piddle in his kennel and then ask out. like " get me out of here so you can clean it!" about half the time he wont ask to go out at all. asking to go out being. barking. whyning. any noise that i'd hear at all. ive got babies, i wake up easy so anything works. if he walks around in his kennel too much ill hear that. so i've made his kennel smaller. so it's just his size no room to pee at one end and be comfy at the other. i monitor his water, make sure he's not over doing it and no water after 6 pm. and i always let him out to go potty when he asks. now he never poos in his kennel. just piddle. but since the same tequnique is not working for him that worked so wonderfully for max, i'd like to hear what every one did/does to potty train, and advice please. i'd like to get this thing on the ball. but we also have to remember he's very young yet. max goes potty on command ;D  im so proud of him. but what worked for max isnt working for boogers so well. Boogers would like potty training advice please

Groans, Gripes, Brags & Boasts / he's a vicious unstable beast that stalks *pic*
« on: June 19, 2007, 06:10:17 am »
OH! i guess not....i guess he's just a puppy chasing his tail ::)
my mother and grandmother made me so mad just now, they came to pick up my brother from my house who stayed the night. and my grandmother walks into the living room, and max goes up to greet her, very politely like a good dog, i was so proud of him (he's a very anxious dog, and gets nervous easily)and as dogs do when they greet some one, he decided to sniff her butt, (keep in mind they've never met before 'strangers') she says "NO NO! BAD DOG! and he stops tail wagging low the whole time ears back just being a sweetie, and he sniffs again like the stubborn dork he can be, and she stops walking, turns around, stares at him in the eyes and repetedly saiy no no bad dog....except she doesnt stop! she kept saying it, staring him down...hello? you dont do that to any dog you dont know. max became extremely uncomfortable and backed up and 'according to my mother growled' i didnt hear, but he wagged his tail low with ears back the whole time. when i realised my grandmother was just going to continue this nonsense,"it was like she was stuck on repeat i dont know what got into her" i went and got max and made him lay down by me, but my mother says "christy he's growling at her!!!" like he's frothing at the mouth and realy growling....no w YALL have big dogs, and yall have heard em growl...not the nervous under the breath growl, or the play growl, but the 'there's a stranger in the dark going to get you growl, that could scare the daylights out of anybody the real growl. it just realy made me mad that max did so good when guests came over, and then this is what he gets for it. the poor guy, im so ticked. he was such a gentleman. and he still got labeled a bad dog.

Things I Must Remember as a Dog
Author Unknown
The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.
I will not roll my toys behind the fridge, behind the sofa or under the bed.
I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
I will not eat the cats' food--before they eat it or after they throw it up.
I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to get sick.
I will not throw up in the car.
I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc. just because I like the way they smell.
Kitty box crunchies" although they are tasty are not food.
I will not eat any more Kleenex or napkins and then redeposit them in the backyard after processing.
The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
I will not chew my human's toothbrush and not tell them.
I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, or my people will think I am hemorrhaging.
When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it's raining outside.
We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on TV.
I will not steal my mom's underwear and dance all over the backyard with it.
The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are mom & dad's laps.
My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for mom's driver's license and car registration.
I will not play tug-of-war with dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
I will not use "roll around in the dirt" as an option after just getting a bath.
Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying hello.
I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.
The toilet bowl is not a never-ending water supply and just because the water is blue, it doesn't mean it is cleaner.
The cat is not a squeaky toy so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

Dog Property Laws!
Author Unknown

DOG PROPERTY LAWS 1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If it's broken, it's yours.

Inside every Newfoundland, Boxer, Elkhound and Great Dane is a puppy longing to climb on to your lap.

Helen Thomson

Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.

Dave Barry

I called our hotel but the response was "I'm sorry, sir. We've been booked up for months." With sudden inspiration, I called back.... This time I said, "Hello, this is Shana's human..." and this time the response was, "Oh yes, sir. Come on down. We always have a room for you." It really puts you in your place when your dog can get a hotel room, but you can't.

J. Emmett Black, Jr., on how all the staff at a certain Holiday Inn knew his dog by name, but not him. Crime was reduced whenever Shana stayed there; she's a 120 pound Great Dane.

Groans, Gripes, Brags & Boasts / i rescued him off the overpass!
« on: June 04, 2007, 10:20:18 am »
holy cow! i was heading out of town to go to wal-mart yesterday(our town is about 3,000 ppl). was heading over the overpass and about 75 yards infront of me there is a dog in the middle of the bridge! smack dab in the middle cars and trucks zooming bye he didnt know what to do. luckily by the time i got to him there was a break in the traffic i was able to stop and by miracle he trusted me to jump into the car. it was sunday, but i tried the vets anyway (small town uses vets for animal shelter 'no humane society') supprise supprise they are closed. so i figure ill foster for a night and take him in the morning. every thing runs pretty smoothe except him and max accualy dont like eachother, which supprised me but i remembered some of you had said that un altered males dont like altered males, so figured that was the case, so i separated them for the night, put the guest in max's crate. but the  next morning when i went out to get him...oh boy, he is a strong one! he'd broken the welds on max's crate and bent the metal over 7 inches so he could get out! i have no  idea how he did it, but he was loose in the garage. tried to dart out the door when i opened it. cept im to fast ;) so i took him to the vets this morn, and by chance the minute i walk in the door the phone rings and it's the owner looking for his dog "german short hair named TRIGGER" . so mission acomplished... .reunited. it was kind of fun i hadnt rescued a dog for over a year now. when we lived in the country  people would ditch their dogs out there for whatever reason thinking it was a good place to leave them, and i would be finding them quite often, but now that we are in town, that isnt the case. it's a very fullfilling thing to do! i just now realised that i forgot to take pics of him, duh... sorry guys.

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Duramax has a little brother!
« on: May 12, 2007, 04:51:40 am »
after months of looking i finaly found a pup that will fit perfectly into our family. the next town over has a humane society and there was a 5 month old lab (possible mix)....and he's ours! so happy! max and him get along wonderfully, i was kind of supprised. the little guy gets rolled around a bit when they play, and has no training what so ever. but he's a very happy and affectionate guy. they've been playing all morning and now are all pooped-out. we havent decided on a name yet...but ill have some more pics and a name out to you in a couple days. lots of work to do- potty train, obedience. but he's a pleaser, some one lost out when they let him wonder off.
while i was in the humane society, a lady brought in 2 dogs she'd found wondering around. apparently they had just been adopted out of the shelter a week ago. it makes me mad that people arent willing to protect their dogs, they wouldnt leave their child to wonder around town would they? people dont even leave belongings out on their front lawn for fear of them being stolen or broken...so why a dog?
grrrrr.

 ;D to end on a happy note ::)
I know that 2 are better than one.
It still supprises me how good they are with eachother!
I hope they are best buds untill the end....
