PitPat, I don't know where you (or your mom) are located, but I just got notice of these two approx. 8 week old Chinese Crested/Pekinese (sp?) puppies in a rescue here in the Kansas City area and I though of you. Here's the link to them on Petfind...

I don't know how big of dogs you have, but here's what I do (when you have a hairless kid, you gotta be creative....not to mention I HATE cold weather). All my kids just absolutely freak out for chasing a laser lite. I take them down in our finis...

Yep, lalayla is right. You can also take the lower jaw in your fingers and press her tongue down to the bottom of her mouth while telling her no bite. I have one that is a mouther and this is what I do to him....he hates it. Others will actually...

I completely understand how it may be frustrating for some people, but rescue/shelters are not pet stores where $$$ is the bottom line, the majority of them are not-for-profit and are kept open by the adoption fees they collect and donations from t...

Being in rescue myself, I can see both sides of this coin. We have very stringent adoption application, reference check, and home visit guidelines that must be met in order to be approved to adopt from us. By doing so, the "return" rate for us i...

You can use the B.R.A.T. guidelines for diarrhea too.
Bananas
Rice
Apples
Toast
Pumpkin & yogurt are great too. Mine get a dollop of yogurt every day.
