awwww spydoll, so sorry to hear about toby. i hope he is feeling better very soon. it has to be killing you. these little dogs get in your heart very quickly, i know. lola update....she's grown up so much with the whining! we sleep all night, if there is any whining at all, i don't hear it. we're also getting better with the potty training (yay!) as long as her pads are in the same place, she's pretty good about going on them. the chewing had gotten a little out of control, but i bought her a couple of edible chew bones - small enough for her mouth, and bacon-flavored. she LOVES them! i think she likes that she can actually eat these...it's like being rewarded for chewing, which she usually gets scolded for. now, i have to do a little bragging on my little girl. i took her to stay with my sister friday night while i participated in the relay for life. i like taking her there because she gets to play with my sisters 2 chis (one being her sister) and she has fun with them, and also it wears her out and she is tired when we come home and consequently, well-behaved. but my girl seems like a little angel compared to my sisters 2 hellions! LOL, but i'm not kidding. i think they feed off each other, and my little girl is just so content to be loved and set on your lap and played with. she's a little rambunctious at times, but she is only 4 months old! so when i went to pick her up yesterday afternoon, she was setting on my lap getting loved on, while my sister's 2 were running around acting crazy (oh, and my sister's girl peed on me 3 times within 10 minutes the night i dropped lola off before the relay...not a lot of pee, but pee, nonetheless, i guess she was excited to see me, but still -gross!) and i was telling her (lola) what a good, sweet girl she was and my brother-in-law agreed! she is also quite a bit smaller than the foxter who weighed 4 and a half pounds at her vet appt yesterday. ms lola weighed 2.1 on her visit a few weeks ago. she is definitely the cute one....ok, so i may be biased. all in all, i think i got the good puppy. ears still floppy, crooked tail, and all her other little character flaws that, to me, give her character. she's a sweet little girl!

who those are great gifs . . .I'm stealing them! Jbean - I noticed with Hershie she got worse after a few months with her chewing and then settled down again after a little while. It's like babies, when those teeth come in, they gotta do something with their mouths. The difference is puppies really do damage to the furniture. I had to throw out all my dining room table chairs when we moved last year after finally breaking down and admitting they were not salvagable.

Spy, hope your little one is doing better, it's so hard seeing your poor little animals in pain and their isn't much you can do other than give them the meds and some extra loving. Snoopsmom Musgsy is adorable, I'm glad he found a home with you and your other animals. My Jagger seems to be doing OK, his swelling has really gone down, he is eating his own dog food again and he seems to be on the road to recovery, although he's seemed to have developed a pretty nasty cough, but he is still on the antibiotics so they should take care of the cough, but he's getting too dang smart. I had been hiding his pills inside hotdogs, where I literally cut out some of the insides of the hotdog and placed the pills, than put the remains back in it. He's now learned to spit the food back out, pick through it and leave the pills lay. The past few days I've been hiding it in different things, like the skin off a chicken leg, or I'll put it on a chip with some hamburger. Hopefully he'll keep getting better and stay better once he's off the meds.

I was playing around with the infrared setting on my camera the other day, and took these latest photos of Finnegan. He certainly loves to pose for me.

I thought this news item about a little girl who raised money to buy RCMP dogs bullet proof vests was very touching. http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/05/19/dog-vests050519.html

Ahhhhhhhhhhh what a great story! I'm really surprised the RCMP didn't invest in vests (hee hee)for the doges themselves. It must be costly to train these dogs, isn't it? Plus the police officers probably get attached to them too so I'm surprised their "Partner's" didn't fight for their Partner's right to have a vest too. You would never send a human officer in without a vest and it should be the same for dog-officers too in my opinion.

Ok so I have an opinion question. The yard in front of our apt is getting pretty yellow and patchy from attaching Hershie to the front stoop. I went to the store to see about buying something to neutralize her pee a little and found a gazillion different products from sprays for the grass to pills for the dog. What have you guys used? What would you recommend and what would you stay away from?

Mizinvancouver--I was thinking the same thing too. They really should feel a little sheepish that a child had more concern for the dog, and the chops to get these vests for them.

There are people in Portland who let their lawns 'brown' out in the summer and spray them green. I don't know what they use, but it is enviornmentally safe. I think there are even companies who do this.

Aen't my aunt's dogs cute? I've posted a few pictures of them before a long time ago. Beaner is the lab- she's 13 years old. Frankie is the beautiful one. He's just massively huge- long and tall- and the biggest sweetie. He's a licker. Big time licker. And very, very vocal. Not barking but whining noises.

Frankie looks like he is a first cousin to a wolf.

Wow- that's one of those pictures where dogs look so....human! I love it! So much personality! that's one of the things I love about Frankie. He's got such a huge smile! And I believe they said he may have a little wolf in him somewhere along the line.
