    I would not let any child hug a dog.

    Edited to add: obviously I hope nothing's wrong; it's just that hugging a dog is never a good idea, and especially if the dog is acting fearful or off in any...

    No patch here; our surgeon does not like to use them and I've read that some Labs in particular don't do well on them (heightens anxiety?). But as long as you haven't had any problems, then that's...

    Argh. Not lost. Dumped. Look at those two sweeties.

    I hope they find their home, even if it's a new one, that they deserve.

    Yikes! That's scary.

    When I was a kid, an off-leash (and very poorly behaved) Springer Spaniel ran up our driveway and after our cat. The cat could, of course, have gotten away and beat the...

    I know—when my husband told me about the yelp, my first thought was "her leg!" (though at this point, her surgery leg is healed—I was worried about the other one), but I can't see any sign of trouble...

    Hoku was attacked (she's Ok)

    My husband was just taking Hoku out on her evening PT walk—lots of exercises, stairs, etc—in our local park (a very heavily wooded park, with a stream running through it, a great place).

    Fingers definitely crossed. It looks like this leg is in good shape. Any dog with one tear stands at a greater risk for a second, and we know this—which is all of why we've been putting so much...

    Well, she had her final PT / hydrotherapy appointment today. She'd actually already "graduated" from her 8 week run, but my husband bought an extra two sessions "just to be safe" (and because he's...

    Yeah, the "grain-free" thing isn't behind this at all.

    I do prefer to avoid corn, but that's just me.

    Yeah, the Orijen is about 38-40% protein, which seems really high, as for a dog that is active but not field / working dog active. The more I am looking into other comparable brands (or simply other...

    The protein in Orijen is very high (higher than a raw food die), which I've wondered about.

    Hoku's weight loss PO was primarily from cutting back the food.

    She did lose some muscle in the...

    I worry that Orijen might be a little rich, but I've never tried it, so I am basing this on nothing.

    I don't really need Hoku to lose more weight—she's lost about 10 lbs, perhaps another two to go, but the issue isn't her current weight. It has more to do with longterm...
