Decker dog

2003-08-22 Thread Sweattees
I am heartbroken to report that this week Decker's MS progressed to the point where he could no longer walk, we helped him to the rainbow bridge this morning. He would be 9 on Sept. 2nd. Patt Wiegand

Perhaps I am the last person to figure this out, but just in case I may be second from last, I have a bit of a hint for those of us 8.0 folks that have to post thru the slow, frustrating, annoying www.aol.com. To avoid the slow down load of my addy book for the addy that I want, I minimize my s

bloat opinion

2003-03-24 Thread Sweattees
Patt here, I agree with Pat and others, most dogs will not bloat, (isn't the stat less than 2.5 % of Berners bloat?) BUT IF there is a tendency to bloat in an individual dog, then that stat becomes 100% and then I choose to go with the odds of the Purdue bloat study. There are so many factors r

Hope this is not too late on the car-topic, but we just recently purchased an Aztek for Decker, whom has MS, as he was no longer able to climb into the Jimmy we bought for him 8 years ago after he outgrew the Saturn. The rear seats of the Aztek come right out, and he can just step in with a boo

I always love to hear how folks named their dogs, here is how it worked with some of my guys: Decker's registered name is Jamars Upper Deck CD, hubby has seasson ticket upper deck seats for the Lions games (perhaps a better call name would be 'loser') Keebler's registered name is Joslyns Made by

Could anyone share their experience with using Proin 50 with their male dogs? The drug name is (here goes, trying to read the bottle, from someone waiting for their "See Clearly" eye exercise video to show up in the mail) Phenylpropanolamine HCL 50 mg. I think. What is/was your situation with

Dogs in pick up trucks-a bit off topic

2003-01-18 Thread Sweattees
I would like to persuade our county sheriff to make it policy to ticket drivers of pick up trucks that have a loose dog in the bed of a pick up truck with no cap. I know of former individual city officer that stopped drivers and gave them the choice of putting the dog in the cab with them or ge

one good thing about poop eating dogs

2003-01-16 Thread Sweattees
If it is any consolation to the owners of our poop eating dogs, when I did my unofficial bloat survery I found that the only difference in bloat vs non-bloat dogs, in all questions, was that the non-bloat dogs were a majority of poop eaters and the bloat dogs were a majority of non-poop eaters.

Mark asks what if we allow breeding of mis marked and blue eyed dogs to expand the gene pool, (I hope I am paraphrasing accurately). He asks if this would allow for a lower incidence of cancer and hip dysplasia. This interested me, not because of allowing the breeding issue, but because I had

I have to share this with the group. As many of you know, my Deck-dog comes to work with me, a retail shop, and often folks make a guess as to what breed he is. Since he is so over-sized most folks say St. Bernard, honest mistake tho some have been way off (labrador, springer, gordon setter to
