my Bear today caught his first bird...naughty boy :(
actually it was given to him LOLOL...the nest was resting in a palm tree and had fallen to the ground with 3 babies ready to fledge ...the cat gulped 2 down and Bear brought his inside and hid it in his toy box...I couldnt get it off him so when he hid it I removed it....He is still looking for it. I growled at him but the cat got a belt...they arent allowed to chase the wildlife...naughty boys LOLOL
Well,I should be on a bit more..hubby came through his surgery well,took 8 hours and 2 days in the hospital.Mother in law went home today so things should start getting back to normal!! Damien is up to 25 pounds at last weight in and will be 13 weeks old tomorrow.He starts kindergarden in 2 weeks.He still has round worms He got sick on the medicine one weekend though so I think that break in the meds had something to do with it..not sure.He now knows his name,will come on command,sit,FINNALY learnign to retrieve the ball,and learning to shake..I want him to be more advanced then the other kids in class,LOL!!!!
ScarletRose: well,the MAIN reson of putting him into the first class is to socialize him as much as I can.He needs to learn to be around other animals and people..he is going to be about 120 pounds so he needs to be able to let people come up to him..I need to make sure he can do that too...his looks alone will intimaidate poeple,he doesn't have to be unsocial to boot.Then I would like to get him into some agility when he is a bit olderbut in order to do THAT,he needs at least 3 courses of obidience.This is all to better him :)
anastasia: oh.. ?? I wonder if they have classes around here for my little pom.. I take her everywhere.. and try to expose her to people any chance I can.. just so she stops barking so much..
ScarletRose: well,the ONLY place I could find to fit my schedule was Petsmart...they have alot of different schedules and they had a Saturday morning at 9am that fit well with my shedule.AND...the class is 100%garunteed..so if I'm not happy with the results,I can retake the entire thing for free...I thought that was a good garuntee!!
Gemina: and THAT'S why he is going to training,LOL!!! He is coming out of his "fear of everything" stage..I read books and he hit it at the age they said he probably would,so,that's cool.I weighed him today and he is 31 pounds now!!
Gemina: OMG!! 31 pound and the goof ball STILL wants to climb onto my lap for me to HOLD HIM in my arms!!! And of course,you know me..I hol dhim,LMAO!!!! you know..he is only a baby one time! Funny,cuz he IS still a baby and he was bigger then most of the adult dogs at the vet this last time!! I cannot WAIT for you to meet him Gemina!!!
BUNNY22: Hey Bunny and welcome.. They call it nettiquette with the caps an such. When your use all caps it is referred to as Shouting like asia said! NO offence taken by you I hope but it is also so much harder to read your posts when they are all in caps!
Welcome to the board!
BUNNY22: Welcome to the board and thanks for the advice on pet urine :) I think it was a "missing his Dad syndrome" you see my partner passed last October and I think it suddenly hit home with him...He has been as good as gold lately...but thanks :) and yes I agree with the others....take your caps lock off as it looks like your yelling at us all HAHAHAHAHA
Took my little Punkin (a Shih Tzu) in to be groomed this morning. Also ask them to check her because I have been finding some stange little rock looking things on the floor. She has kidney stones real bad and will have surgery in the morning..the vet says that is the only way to get rid of them since she has so many..he showed me the x-ray. I am very worried about her but am praying she will be ok!
Thanks for listening or should I say reading!!
Dolittle: I sincerely hope she will be ok and back home with you soon.
Its awful, Oliver and Dexter have been ill for a while now, its heart renching , but they are slowly getting better thank god.
Dolittle: aww,I'll be thinking of her!! i know when Patch had sergury for his bladder,I was a mess! Punkin will do goo though,so will you..let us know how it goes!!!
Dolittle: OMG...Bear is on his knees praying for his little girlfriend Punkin and Im right there with him. Goodness me I have never heard of that before
People I will tell you that Punkin and Bear are both Shih-Tzu's and Dolittles wee darling is black and my Bear is white...they were both born on the same day...16th August 2002...they are both still only young and I would be devastated if it was Bear
Please know my dear friend that both Bear and Smooch (cat) and their Momma are hopeing all will turn out well...
