Dogs have a diaphram and rib cage like people--only smaller for a Westie. twice I've had to Heimlich this mutt after he tries to eat his little rubber balls. Ever had your dog barf on you??

His highness will condescend to eat pork cut up for stir fry. But, it ,or homemade hamburgers, have to be at least warm when served or he turns his nose up and walks.

How does one break a dog from pooping on his blankie?? He sleeps under it if I drape it over him but, if I don't remove it, he poops on it. Ideas? His newspapers are under the blankie so he could clear it away or move slightly to miss it. Lazy or spite??
We have mastered a new command!! We do NOT sit on order. But, he comes into the house after being let out . "Rowdy! I'm leavin'." Works every time.
He is not afraid of the dalmation --Skyler--next door. If spots barks at us in our own backyard? Mine barks and snarls back until Skyler's owner calls him off.

Rowdy has taken to howling at sirens. Since we live 3 blocks from a firehouse---------not good news. He caught my bug over the weekend. First I froze and threw up for 18 hrs.--so did the dog. He laid right in front of the space heater. Bear in mind, it was upper 80s and 90s outside the whole time! He didn't get the other end--just me. My newest client gave it to me. Not thrilled with her at all. Mom down too. Now wonder I want to move to a 2br and 2 bath condo, townhouse, duplex or something?

Rowdy has become more attached during this flu bout. He guards my bedroom which is new. Didn't stop him from peeing on the bed when I was busy in the bathroom tho. I think it could be the sunny yellow flannel sheet. What he thinks it is beats me but he does it every time it's not covered by a tarp. He eats chicken soup. Loves his coffee. Got a cappo machine--cheapie-- as it's just too expensive to buy everyday for him and Mom. Figure $1.61x 365=$587.65 or there abouts? Machine was at Kohl's for $59 and change on sale. Now I have to get French Vanilla coffee and lactose free stuff to put in it. It comes w/dvd to tutor.
Moved furn. trying to paint last weekend and found 10 balls, bottle caps and chewies hidden by my mutt. He's taken to eating his little 1" rubber balls when he gets tired of playing with them. Any ideas how to stop him short of getting rid of the toys? They're his 2nd fav after water bottles.

Hi All! I came accross this poem, so I thought I'd share.....

DOGGIES!

The doggies held a meeting
They came from miles around
They came from every private home
They came from every pound.

Each dogy passed the entrance
Each doggy signed the book
They all unzipped his own behind
And hung it on a hook.

One doggy was not invited
It sorely raised his ire
He ran into the meeting hall
And loudly bellowed FIRE!

It threw them in confusion
And without a second look
Each grabbed anothers behind
From off anothers hook.

And that's the reason why
When doggies chance to meet
Yes that's the reason why
When walking down the street
On land or sea or foam

A dog will sniff another's behind
To see if it is their own!

Hi Sharon---I love the picture of the dogs as ghosts with the pumpkins. lol.. They must be thinking, "Ok, now why did they put this sheet over me? " LOL.

Thanks all.. Thanks Arthur.... I think Jellie is in a better place too and really happy again.

Thanks Irene. Jellie was amazing. She could tell so much and understood us so much. Poor thing just couldn't barely walk anymore and she was blind and so old by now... We cherish the pictures now and all she gave us.

Thanks everyone. Thanks Fairymoon and others so much. It's amazing how dogs can get so close to you. There is something to that and I believe God gave them to us to be our friends and to help us. They even say people who have a dog or a pet live longer. That's amazing to me. I guess it's about having a purpose, and something to love and someone who loves you.


Goodbye Jellie and sleep tight.

Caroline,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you about Jellie. Just take comfort in all the years you had together. Remember Jellie is in a better place.
God Bless & Good Night,

Hi All---I just joined and read comments from Caroline. Caroline, I am so sorry for your loss. Jellie sounds like she was an amazing dog. You did the right thing when the time came, but still it hurts so much. I have a golden retreiver that is almost 11 and he is my "baby." He has always been such a good dog and I know what is in store for me some day. My thoughts are with you!
