Christy, I'm so glad that Maxx is doing so well

Sil, how's your darling doing?

Boy, all that heat sure made it hard to keep the furkids cool and hydrated. I'm glad it seems to have subsided!

Any fun new pet stories? I keep watching mine for cuteness, but other than the usual, I don't have much to report.

I hope when things calm down for Ruth, she can share a pic of the Girls in their pool!

Princess is driving my DBF crazy... she has gotten into the chewing phase a little late in puppyhood - just started getting bad about two weeks ago. The funny thing is that she has already lost most of her baby teeth and her adult teeth are mostly in, so I don't know why the sudden chewing fascination!

Anyway, she has chewed a place in the front door at the bottom. Chewed two different places on an area rug in the dining room that his mom had given us to use. Chewed the backing off a small slice rug in the living that was in front of the fireplace and pulled the stitching through the back. And just this morning she chewed the carpet in the living room away from the baseboard - this one really has DBF upset! I'm going shopping tonight to find a rug to put over that place (luckily it's in front of a door, so a rug will look ok there). I guess for the time being we'll have to keep her out of the living room when we're not home until this phase passes.... and might have to restrict her to the kitchen when we are away from home if it continues...

Poor girl...

Laurie, Kasey is doing well. She is sporting those diapers at bedtime and she is not happy about it either.


She is starting to look old, though...


Shelby has taken over the Doggie Blanket...

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Oh, Kasey looks adorable even with a diaper! What a doll she is! And her blanket is beautiful too. What a brave puppy she is.

The look on Shelby's face is precious. She seems to be saying, "This blanket is MINE...back away slowly!" I love how little animals have that Napolean complex...the smaller the animal, the bigger the attitude!

My "baby" is Darwin, a westie/random terrier mix we found through petfinder.org. He's completely spoiled, and we've only had him since April.





There's a complete Darwin photo album here.

Sarah

Welcome, Andy! Darwin is adorable! What a photogenic little fellow! We found our Lady through petfinder.org too. That website is addictive...don't go if you aren't planning on adding to your family, because you will not be able to resist!

Thanks Laurie!!

Sarah/Andy~~Darwin is way too cute!!!!!! I love the $5 pic! He will bring you so much love and joy through the years.

Hope you'll forgive my not reading through 8 pages of this thread to look for something on the subject of fleas. We have a small dog, dauchsand/terrier mix whom we have had since Christmas. When my MIL found him, he was covered in fleas and almost dead, he had also been abused but was still a very young puppy. He has always had fleas and I can't find a way to get rid of them. I have tried everything, even the expensive options like frontline and advantage. I know it's uncomfortable for our dog as well as ME! I have scars on my ankles from hundreds of flea bites (they like getting under socks to bite). I hadn't been bit in a while until last night and the dog has still never stopped scratching and biting. Right now I can't do anything since he has Frontline on him but I am looking for options for when that wears off.

Thanks

Fl mom~First thing, where did you get your avatars? I liked the heart with your "pounds lost".
I wish I had an answer for your flea problem but the Frontline Plus has always worked for my dogs. Have you been to a vet about this and what does he suggest? Have you sprayed your yard to help get rid of fleas that might be brought into the house?

I make my avatars but I was having a creative block, can't think of what to make with such a small space. If you want a heart with a number in it, let me know and I will make one, only take a few mins. (tell me what color too if you do)

The vet told me to use the frontline plus, this is the second month I have put it on him. We just moved so the fleas were getting pretty bad outside at the other place but not here. I think I may need to bomb the house as preventative for eggs and just do another month of the frontline. The vet really couldn't give me any other options except try another brand (advantage) which I already did. I know I am tired of being bit so it makes me feel even worse that the dog is constantly biting himself.

I added a pic of our Bubba (he had that name before we got him LOL) & one of 2Bfit1's shelby that I played with. Hope shelby is a girl LOL

Oh my gosh, that is too cute!! Thank you so much! I saved it in my folder.
Bubba looks like a real sweetie!!

Not to bore everybody, but I just walked by the livingroom and saw this~Kasey (who has cancer) has finally discovered her Doggie Blanket that I bought for her. I can't believe that Queen Shelby is sharing it with her.

Fl Mom~Could I ask a big favor?? Would you mind doing the same thing for my Kasey that you did for Shelby, using her pic from above (she's the one on the left)???? I would love to have that for future memories.TIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you'd rather her be in a heart, I can do that also.

I thought I'd try an avitar too so I added two.
