    Son Scared Of Assistance Dogs

    I can say that parents of disabled children are under a lot of pressure and stress 24x7. Maybe even more so when there are no visible physical disabilities, which would let me believe it might be cognitive... sometimes it's especially hard being in public places, sometimes it just reaches the...

    Long hikes are tiring...

    Good time, but tiring. The entire hike up the mountain and back down to the car took about 6 hrs. Baby Miles needed a nap along the way.

    Crossroads

    Bummer... :( But tomorrow will be another day, who knows what it will bring, maybe something good. Meanwhile, what's so bad about advertising? I would think finding care work or a teaching gig would take time too...

    The pain won’t subside. I can’t see past this loss.

    Time is the best healer, but it works slowly. What helped me to some extend when my beloved 1st boy died was talking about him, to pretty much everyone who knew him. Thankfully, people had enough patience to listen to my stories. We kept his ashes in the little urn, and every now and then I pick...

    Miles - hard to be the only adult in the neighborhood....

    Kids of all kinds are everywhere. But Miles is standing up (or rather laying down) for sanity and dignity of grown ups...

    Please help me before my husband gets rid of Sid, our new dog.

    Wow, things may be turning around, that's awesome. I was going to suggest neutering the husband, but looks like this may not be necessary after all :cool: Jokes aside - avoid human arguments, they really throw sensitive dogs off their tracks...

    More of Baby Miles

    Nice to see him active outside. Soon it will get warmer, and walks will become mostly slow strolls with lots of laying in the grass and sunbathing. We often meet others who are "working hard on not jumping, not running around, not this, not that, not the other thing." My head agrees with all of...

    How do you pick the right breed?

    And then there will be choosing the puppy... A boy? A girl? One of each? Just scoop all of them up when the breeder is not looking, and run? :)Bottom line, my 2 cents - don't overthink, there probably is not a 100% perfect fit anyway, every breed has pros and cons... and yet almost everyone I...

    Here is to a happy and healthy 2024 for all bipeds and quadrupeds out there! Cheers!

    Sold unwell 7 week old puppy - not disclosed

    My 2 cents - if the puppy is doing well now, and the vet is happy, I would just move on and enjoy life. In the big schema of dog ownership (and future costs of food, vet, etc.) the extra 100 spent upfront will not make any difference. This is not the last time she got sick. On the bright side -...

    Dear Dogs

    Now here is a nice sign, isn't it? In contrast to often displayed "No dogs allowed on grass"... Despite everything we read in the papers these days, there is still kindness out there. Cheers to that, and Happy Holidays to everyone.

    Baby Miles - some 2023 action

    Another year... but Miles had fun, I would like to think. Certainly we did watching him and his friends.

    Hi I'm Kim

    Wow.. I just had a read at this, didn't know this was in the works. It seems that a great number of dogs could fit the very vague definition.. But I guess in practical terms there are a few defined things that need to be done - certificate, muzzle training, microchip, insurance, etc. Seems...

    Baby Miles finds a lost dog!

    An aging dream of mine came true last week, thanks to Baby Miles who was paying attention on our morning walk in the woods - we found a lost dog, a good size black lab. He had no tags, so we waited, and waited.. and waited.. and eventually ran out of patience and took him home. Good thing that...

    Rest in Peace, Jimmy. My Beautiful Boy, My Best Friend

    I feel your pain… what a beautiful boy. Time is the best healer, but works slowly. Hugs.
