Haven't had one poop in the Vets office yet, but, Maple always pees all over when the Vet examines her.  She's fine with the Tech's touching her, but, no matter which of the 3 Vets in the office start to examine her, she pees.  This last time they had me hold her at a "stand" so the Vet could see something at her back end, and when the Vet touched her, she peed, straight back at about knee height~!    I'd never seen projectile pee before, but, you can bet the Vet won't do that again.

I feel so bad when I hit the quick.

Woody hates having his nails clipped and screams when I do it.  Plus, his nails are all very thick and black.

I've been thinking of getting the Peticure or a dremel of my own (can never find hubby's tools when I need them).  Both of my dogs are noise sensitive, so, I've been nervous about trying them.  I think I need to do it soon though, because neither the groomer or vets seem to clip Woody's nails short enough. 

   He is gorgeous!  As everyone else said, be very sure if you take him in.  My first dog was a Husky/Wolf/GSD who I got from a friend at 6 weeks old.  The first 2 years of his life were very interesting to say the least.  His actions were more wolflike than doglike, and I had to be on my toes constantly.  He did learn not to hurt my cats or birds, but, any small animals who were not mine, were in trouble.  He could also jump ANY fence though learned not to go over a fence that I didn't "show him how to".  If I went over the fence, he would too.

As he aged, he became more and more protective of his pack, and I never had to worry about walking alone at night. Had a brother in law who came home drunk one night and decided to jump the fence since he couldn't find his key, and Jasper went after him (dumb person).  We laugh now, but, what the heck was he thinking?  He knew the dog protected the house.  After I had my boys, he became even more protective.  Noone could approach them while we were on a walk, or Jasper would growl and go on the alert.

He lasted just under 13 years, and I will always miss him.

I never get around to making scrapbooks    But, I have saved all the baby teeth I found from all my "kids" human and fur.  They are in my jewelry box with my other valuable gems 

LOL First thing I thought of was you got a new dog    My sister's first dog was named Magnum~!  I've heard good things about the car, but never driven one.

Awe~!  Auntie~!  Congratulation s and glad everyone is OK.
 

"And as an added incentive, maybe the spring loaded gate could be tight enough to smack him on the @%% as he goes out! LOL Sorry
Stella"

Hmm.......migh t work LOL

"So now the gate is locked and i have a camera on the side of the house."

I'll have to have the camera on the internet so I can see it from work.  Oh, and unfortunately, DH knows how to work locks LOL  I used to hook caribiners through the latch, but DH just takes them off and leaves them.

"My dad suggested strapping pictures of naked women to the dogs, so they would pay more attention to where they are....lololol ....."

Love it~!  But, what if the DH doesn't notice, what will the middle schoolers think when the dogs approach them LMAO~!

"I just have to ask, why is it that if we want anything done, we have to do it ourselves?! It used to drive me crazy when women would say stuff like that, and now that I'm married, I realize why.

My husband is just ridiculous about that sort of thing. And the other thing that gets me, is how come if we remind them or say ANYTHING we're nagging biznatches? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?!

UGH. I'm not very happy with the men folk right now. Sorry."

I don't know~!  But, I feel the exact same way~!

So, my neighbor came over last night to let us know he was the one who put them back in the yard.  He said he took them to the side yard, but neither would go in. LOL  Then, both dogs went to the other gate and sat there waiting for him to let them in the regular part of the yard LOL
