I put a harness on her to give me something to hold on to while she swims around. What a great way to bathe her,Its a sandy bottom so she can just wa...

Re: Easiest way to remove a tick

It is better for the dog to have the tick release itself with the soap. I know people who encase the tick with a soaked alcohol cotton ball and they cant get off the dog fast enough. Tweezers and needlenose pliers ALWAYS have a chance to leave the head embedded in the dog and that causes infections.

Re: Therapy Chow

I had gone to visit someone in the hospital last week and they were having pet therapy while I was there. The therapy dog was standing away from me but there was no mistaking that it was a chow butt! :wink: I could tell right away it was a chow mix. I had asked the owner what kind of mix she was an...

Re: Dremel users?

Then I started walking her every morning and never had to trim the nails again {sidewalk}. The lady across the street has a chih...

Re: Beneful vs Nutro

Beneful has too much food coloring in it, you can tell each nugget is a different color.I am now using Blackwood, they have 3 or 4 dif...

Then she was standing on her hind legs waiting for me to finish mixing it up. My new Maggie may 8 month old puppy is eating Blackwood 3000, dry lamb and rice with ...

Re: My 7 month old Maggie May

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I just lost my 15 yr old chinabear {she passed on} so I contacted some breeders here in Georgia and the whole southeast thinking if I had to go and pick up a new puppy it wouldn't be too bad of a ride. Well 4 months later a breeder in Atlanta was showing chow ...
