Ok, I re-uploaded the pics. Hopefully they're visible now!
Fun times enjoying the mild Central Texas Winter

No, the person who calls the authorities to report a dog in a car is not the responsible party if their action leads to a negative (or tragic, in this case) outcome. That is very dangerous logic....
I work for ERCOT, the ISO in Texas. The reason we had rolling blackouts in the winter of 2011 (I am not aware of any load shed events since then), was because of extremely cold winter weather which...

Interesting. Increased anxiety is obviously not the outcome we're looking for. I'll probably give the vet a call and see what she thinks about the potential side effects Dr. Beck mentions.
Thanks for the suggestions and info! I'll give the Ace a try and let people know if anything interesting happens. I'll try a few drops in my gin & tonic too (kidding).
I feel like a bit of a failure, but we are having a hard time getting Gaius to tolerate thunderstorms and fireworks. We tried the thundershirt and a few natural remedies, but none had any noticeable...
Great pictures! How patriotic of him. Hope you both have a happy 4th.
Cute idea. As you know, Austin's climate varies from unbearably hot to sort of chilly. We are in the oven phase right now. *opens a Lone Star*
I'm sorry to read this, and I can identify with your struggle. Seriously, I used to shut my office door at work and cry every day. I also agree with the advice that has been written above.

I'm no expert, and I'm sure others with much more experience and knowledge will chime in, but I believe in the US routine neutering/spaying is done to reduce the risk of accidental litters....
Love this thread! I'm a sucker for quotes from influential works on science, reason, human progress, and American history.
“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted ...
We aren't great hunters, nor is Gaius a great retriever, but my husband and I really enjoy spending time together roaming the public hunting land near our home. Here they are waiting for some ducks...
Ah so jealous of those who can bring their dogs to work! I work in power plant control rooms, and I can just see Gaius getting so excited and pushing all the buttons, flipping all the levers. Sorry...
What a distinguished elder statesman. Happiest birthday to Maxx!
Ugh, I sympathize with you.
I have also had friends who didn't respect my boundaries and who had to make everything about themselves. You should not have to reiterate boundaries with true...
Thanks for the extra info Snowshoe! I don't doubt that there is correlation between these disorders and early neuter/spay. The data seems very compelling, and more education about these issues is...
I think that, on balance, there is a greater societal good achieved by shelters spaying/neutering early. At least in the US, there is an epidemic of shelter dogs. 2.7 million cats and dogs are...
I'm not trying to be provocative, but I'm skeptical that the only reason a certain segment of the electorate is again immigration is because of democratic-leaning tendencies. There seems to be a...
Here is Gaius swimming in Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin. He's a bit hard to see but you get the idea.
He's a mediocre fetcher so some kayakers were helping us out. A fun day in the blazing...
Just wanted to pick out a few key themes from the above post:
- Facts aren't allowed in the USA
- The USA, as we knew it, doesn't exist anymore (not sure what time frame the USA actually existed)...
