Yeah, I get it that sometimes vets have to opt for treatment plans made on 'best guess' type situations. For better or worse, our pets can't talk & tell us (or their vets!) exactly how they feel, or what/where it hurts. Not to mention that under stressful situations (vet visits being high up...

You'd think, right? But nope (at least not according to Wisdom, which I still strongly suspect is truly 'for entertainment purposes only') He does supposedly have 7 % Rat Terrier as well as some bits & pieces of other terriers in the mix. Here are his 'highlights' and supposed top 5: Top 5...

It is SO important to have a vet you can really **talk** to. At least, IMO. I have just enough medical knowledge to be a bit scary, and want to totally **understand** things that are being relayed to me when it comes to physical issues (whether they're human or canine related) Because of...

Got very lucky on my starter word today (I don't always use the same one. I just use whatever random 5 letter word that pops into my head that morning! lol) Wordle 1,509 2/6 🟩🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Purple category was a bit 😒 today, IMO... Connections Puzzle #787 Connections Puzzle #787 🟩🟩🟩🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨...

Well, my Felix certainly wasn't purposely bred, but the mix that came back from his Wisdom DNA panel could potentially explain why he could, at times, be described best as 'conflicted & even neurotic' (🤣 It's OK, we still love him... sometimes!) 28% Plott Hound, 21% Chihuahua then 17 other bits...

Well, if you cross a Jack Russell Terrier with a Shih Tzu, you end up with Jack Shih-T. 😏 I have heard of people crossing Border Collies with Jack Russell Terriers to come up the ultimate flyball dogs - the Border Jack. Sounds like a nightmare on crack, to me...

If you have a dehydrator & the ambition, by all means make them yourself! I'm sure it would be less expensive than buying ready made ones! And probably rather satisfying, too. (I sort of enjoy occasionally making treats for my dogs. I do meatballs on a regular basis.) However, there are...

I certainly wouldn't buy any of them that didn't proclaim 'USA raised poultry' along with 'Manufactured in the USA'. I think you're very correct in your assumption that if they don't specify that, you probably don't want to know where they came from and/or what conditions they were made under...

Wordle 1,508 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Connections Puzzle #786 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Must have had just the right amount of coffee this morning. ;)

Since the dewclaws don't touch the ground with normal walking, I'd say that would be OK. I'd just try to limit activities that might cause it to come in contact with... whatever. No wrestling is probably a good idea, or off leash runs through long grass or other uneven terrain. Otherwise...

How long has it been since he's had bloodwork done? If it's been more than a few months I'd get him back in to the vet & have a senior panel run, specifically to check his kidney function (bad breath can be a symptom of kidney disease in dogs, and at his age it would not be surprising if his...

Ooh, OK, I got one of my dogs out on a hike small enough to post. These two are about the worst posers I've ever had! We have finally mastered 'hop up, sit & stay' (at least most of the time) but 'look at me' is still a work in progress. :rolleyes: That's Felix on the left, Ellie on the...

I'm sure there's some way on my computer to resize things, but I'll have to play with it & figure it out. I don't keep formal records, so I really have no idea how many critters I've chased down with my camera over the years! lol Oop! Well, there we go, I managed to shrink one down in...

I do Wordle daily, but only do Quordle sometimes. Wordle 1,506 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I also play Connections *most* days. Connections Puzzle #784 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Have you tried Revealed? It's a new game by Merriam-Webster. It's pretty fun & I always feel so smart when I can figure...

OK, I'll play. At home, my two primary hobbies would be gardening (including water gardening) and nature photography (mostly the flowers & critters I relentlessly stalk in the above mentioned gardens!) My two current able bodied assistants, Ellie & Felix, (both mid-sized, terrier-type...

Even though she often/usually will initiate physical contact, and usually enjoys picking up/holding, etc... your previous example mentioned that she was laying on her bed & (in that immediate moment) she *wasn't* the one initiating the physical contact. Some dogs absolutely *love* physical...

Thanks! I'm in the US (Northwest North Carolina, to be more exact) and I do think they're a good idea, especially for people who have reactive or more dog-selective dogs. Of course, I'm sure there are ones that are better kept up than others, just like any other dog-park type place I...

They're called 'Sniff Spots' & you can search for one by location and/or amenities offered.

I'm currently being fascinated by a book that was given to me recently called 'Night Magic: Adventures among Glowworms, Moon Gardens, and Other Marvels of the Dark' by Leigh Ann Henion
