So gorgeous! Congratulations!
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...
Yeah, I've wondered if Hoku is going to change significantly as she gets closer to 2.
What we did was this:
In her first month, when she couldn't be on ground outside of our yard, I invited people over. All sorts of people. Old people, young people, toddlers, babies. People with...
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...
Great news! We are just finishing our 15th week PO here. Hoku's cleared for activity, but we are still being cautious.
Have you guys been using the TPLO guide? We found that a huge help w/...
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.
Welcome! He's adorable! I love him!
I would second others here, in that I would not play with him after evening potty breaks. We would pick Hoku up, carry her downstairs, collar / leash on,...
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...
We have four heavily planted tanks—one sort of amazonian blackwater tank w/ tetras, cories, rasboras, and amano shrimp, one lagoon tank w/ Endlers and black tetras and pygmy cories, one tank w/ no...
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...
Happy birthday Nikki!
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).
The...
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...
Welcome!
Dog over ring any day.
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...
So glad to hear it!
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...
Hoku is 21 months old. I hadn't planned to switch her before she reached about 24 months.
I have no complaints about how she's done on ProPlan thus far. I have mild concerns about the food for...
I worry that Orijen might be a little rich, but I've never tried it, so I am basing this on nothing.
Labradorks, when you feed a raw meal, what do you give? What do you give for home-cooked?
...
Thanks for the details!
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...
You know—I don't know. I fed my cat raw for the 7 years he was with us—he was 18 lbs of muscle, had the most amazing coat I've seen on a cat, and never smelled (he died young, I believe of a brain...
Thanks!
I have to be very careful about my approach to the "grain free" thing, because my mother had—and died from—celiac disease, so I have a kind of negative reaction to "gluten free" suddenly...
