I just discovered the Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic channel. I don't know how I missed it...good show. He has two frenchies in his dog pack. That grabbed me right away.

The Dog Whisperer was on Oprah a little while ago and I thought he had a lot of good concrete suggestions. Ten are offered at the site I just posted. (Edited to add: OOps, they turned out to be mostly commonsense advice before getting a dog.)

Wish my son would think about training the puggy a little better. Thanks for the reminder, Supergranny!

Do you have a pug too? We keep taking ours out for short trips in the jeep to help teach her manners. Another pug owner said to me "Teach a pug manners?" But honestly it gets a little embarrassing when she does things like lick the windows. People look over and here is this bright pink tongue glued to the window! I don't know why. And there sits our frenchie being the good child, the picture of dignity.

No, I don't have a pug, my son and daughter-in-law have a pug and I love my little grandpuggy, but he needs some help. LOL "Teach a pug manners" I would like to see the dog whisperer work with a pug! I bet you would, too.

I think we may be getting a dog this week... her name is Sadie...

Sadie

Her owner is a neighbor of a co-worker, who is retiring to Florida and cannot take Sadie with her. We are going this weekend to visit Sadie, to see if we are a match...and so her owner can check us out too...

I'm all excited in my tummy at the prospect. I'm the home of last resort (if others in line can't take her)...but I really hope I get chosen.

Good luck with Sadie!!

I think most dogs will lick windows if they are loose in a car, but of course, for their own protection, they shouldn't be loose anyway. Not only can they distract us when we are driving but if we have to jam on the brakes or swerve to avoid a collision, those loose bodies are at great risk.

Sorry to sound preachy, but it really is an important issue. (LOL, don't get me started about drivers on cell phones!)

Lucee is crate trained for longer trips but just to run around at the beach it is fun to have both dogs be able to sit in the back seat, we have doggie seat belts for them but Lucee can still reach the window to glue her tongue on the glass! When we see people looking over and laughing we know she is doing it again. It is really important to keep them under control also it is dangerous to ride in the front seat, if the air bags go off it can injure or kill them. I always cringe when I see someone riding with their dog on their lap in the front seat. And driving while talking on the cell phone is a real pet peeve of mine too...someday it will be against the law in all states.

For anyone who is interested in the doggie seat belts, you can order them from drsfostersmith.com
the dogs still have enough movement to keep them from feeling tied down and Lucee uses every inch of freedom. If we go any where over half an hour she has to be put in her travel crate. She would chew the seatbelt in half or who knows what. It is a good thing she is so cute!

Well, it looks like Max has slipped through our hands. The rescue organization screwed up, and he was given to another home, on trial, but not likely to be returned. Ah well, as long as he is well taken care of and happy. Very disappointing though.

That is disappointing Lumbele. But there are tons (I MEAN TONS) of super good homeless dogs out there. Just browse through petfinder.com and you will see a small percentage of what is out there! Good luck!

ETA Why can't I make this link work? Oh well, cut and paste it...

Pet Finder

I was just practicing to see what the problem was...I couldn't get it to work either, Julie, without using the newurl format.

Lum, I was sorry to read that Max slipped away like that, but I like your attitude. It just means that there's another pup out there who needs you even more!
