Hi all,

couldn't settle down, loss of appetite, and yelping in pain. No obvious outward signs
except something just wasn't right. Saw my Vet on Monday - thought maybe had a acidy

Hi Everyone
I have never used an invisible fence but our Tory who came to us at 4
1/2 years old (she is now 8 1/2)was trained on an ivisible fence as a
puppy. I doubt if she even wore the collar for more than a few months,
but she did respect it and she is a very pain insensitive girl.
BUT
i love playing musical chairs. When the music starts, everyone walks their
dog on a loose leash. When the music stops everyone must stop their dog and
put them in a sit. The last dog to sit is out. It is alot of fun.

Molly is great at sit and terrific at holding eye contact and pretty

I'm so sorry to hear about Bear, and I'll be waiting on pins and needles

Regarding invisible fencing. I do not have one, I have a physical
fence. I have almost 3 acres fenced - yes it is expensive and there is
maintenance, but I have piece of mind. Friends visit often bringing
their dogs over for a run off leach in a large, safe, fenced area. They

I want to thank all of you for your replies concerning Ozzie and the

mast cell cancer might be the one of choice -- depending, of course, on the
grade. If it's not too far advanced, the trick is to take out the tumour AND
