ooohhhh baby sitting Michele's dogs ... only 8 in the house now... LOL

Glad you've figured out a way to get your fix! :)

Am going crazy with just 2!

LOL, Marilyn! Bailey had her appointment today to clear her cells of the toxins from the poison. Wow, does she have energy tonight! Amazingly, Bailey found another acorn and started to crack it open, but Carli FLIPPED OUT and let us know Bailey had found one and was being a bad girl. Glad Florida doesn't have acorns! LOL....just snakes and poisonous toads. Arrrrggghhhh. We have to watch her every minute until those trees are cut down. We scoured the area but she found the one that was hiding. :( Glad Carli wasn't asleep at the switch. She was such a big sister about it!

and you still have Hope, it's not like you'll not be busy even with one...maybe a little more normal and a lot cheaper food bill

good job Carli!!!!

Wow that's amazing Louise that she knew that it was going to hurt her sister.

That's great that Carli warned you like that. What was Bailey poisoned by?

Karen

I still shudder when I think how close to death Bailey came.... Carli is the best sis ever & smart! Suey is very good about not eating anything she finds....Robs will eat everything.....I think he was so sick 2 weeks ago because he was eating apple drops.

Nice story.

Sweet story.

Very nice!!

Wow....had tears in my eyes......what a solace for those folks....and Gunner....

The story was in the WSJ today.

It's a wsj link!

doesn't get any better!!!!

Looks like fun!

Snuggly and warm cutie pups !!!

awwww to the article and puppy blanket!

Puppy quilt!

They are cute, but, I could not even begin to handle it. 1 was hard enough.

I counted 8?

in that photo there was only 6... but 8 are here right now

here are a gazillion more... I tried to get them all in one photo with cookies... didn't happen

Craziness!

I think it's fun

LOL, you look very content Allison, glad you get puppy time with them still!

did you spot my shirt with Tink Celeste???

Nope, was to mesmerized by the puppies but I love it!

Yorkies have that typical, quizzical terrier look...so cute.

Adorable photo of you and the babies, Allison! I agree....what could be better?

You are so right, Jen! Carli really gets it!

Karen - she ate acorns and almost died.

Marilyn - Poor Robs....the apple seeds also have cyanide in them. I have learned a LOT now about what "harmless" things have really scary aspects for pets. I've never had a dog that ate everything before. Our homeopathic vet did several tests and found out that almonds are the one nut that won't hurt Bailey and might curb her "nut craving", so she now gets 2-3 almonds a day. (Acorns and the other scary nuts are all in the nut family, and she seems to want them) . :(

Wouldn't she just? They're all alike! Soon you'll be back in FL....she'll be safer. There was a couple in the feed store today holding a white dog that I thought was a Bichon. I asked & the lady said, "No...she's one of those cotton dogs". Thought I didn't hear correctly, then it dawned on me. It was a Coton du Tullier....very cute.

are peanuts bad for them.. my girls eat them all the time

Peanuts are fine unless you find they are allergic to them

If I go put some out for the blue jays... the girls go crazy until I give them one.. Lily will just run back and fourth jumping on me.. they love them

Marilyn, my Patches will eat anything, too. I have to keep an eye on her. I have never seen one of those 'cotton' dogs.

I heard a similar story about a dog like Gunner. I think he, too, was a bomb sniffing dog, and was a yellow lab. After a terrible hurricane (maybe Katrina?) he became extremely skittish. Ceaser Milan (the Dog Whisperer) took on his case and he became much better, though it took a long time.

Nice pic of you and the Yorkies, Allison! If I had the money and a bigger place, I would have a lot of dogs, too. I would love to have an Irish Wolfhound someday, a Harlequin Great Dane, and more Basset Hound mixes. Maybe others? Who knows....

Well, I'm certainly glad Bailey made it through alright. I didn't know acorns were bad for dogs. That's one thing Patches has not tried to eat, thank God! Oh, btw, you mentioned you take your dogs to a homeopathic vet. I have begun homeopathic remedies for myself, and will certainly try them for Patches, too.

Peanuts would only be bad if they are chocolate covered.

Karen

never never chocolate

My dog eats crab apples as we walk, doesn't seem to bother her. I try not to let her but there are so many fallen she manages to get a few.

I think they are OK in small amounts, Debi. Karen, you would love an Irish wolfhound....I've had dogs my whole life, & they are just totally different....their life span is only 6-8 years...that's the heartbreaker, & why we couldn't get another......

Lady from church telling us about her German Short Haired pointer...everytime a deer comes in the back yard the dog gets in his pointing stance as he looks out the window...I want to see a pic of that

My black lab used to do that with squirrels, we have no idea why.
