Helpful Groups & Dogs in Need / A banner week on LA craigslist for BPOs
« on: March 03, 2006, 04:34:24 pm »
I have the dog sickness bad.  I mean, who can have only one dog?  I feel so bad for Daisy when we have to leave the dog park and she goes home to try to play with the cats in vain.  Or today, when it *looks* like it might rain so they close the parks.  Basically, I just want another dog.  This week on craigslist there were TWO Danes (one brindle and one merle) and TWO Saints!  It's killing me!  One of the Saints was only 5 months old and got flagged off because they were asking $850, and the brindle dane is gone, but here are the ones that are still there:

No pictures, but I'm emailing for some.  I know, it's cruel, but just in case anyone is looking like me . . .

Mixed Breed Discussion / Daisy's first snow, and other things.
« on: January 02, 2006, 02:53:06 am »
I survived nineteen winters in Nebraska and five in Tennessee (which can be worse than one might imagine).  I got plenty used to power outages and feet of snow; one year in Omaha was so bad that most people moved into hotels with emergency generators.  My mother stayed vigilantly in our house, keeping the pets warm by staying with them in the bathroom, filling the bathtub with water heated over a fire. 

Perhaps this is part of the reason I moved to Southern California.  We don't get snow by the beach here, obviously, so Daisy's never seen snow before.  For New Year's, my boyfriend and seven of our friends rented a cabin in north Lake Tahoe and we decided to take Daisy with us.  We got quite a bit of snow the first night, and the next morning was magical for her.  She rooted her snout down to the ground, flipped up a snowball, and then chased the snow where it landed.  Hikes were fantastic.  Unfortunately, we lost power, and therefore water, so by the third day we were getting a little anxious (no water = no toilet . . .).  Daisy was the only one for whom this was normal. 

On an unrelated note, my boyfriend built Daisy a doghouse for Christmas.  It's a miniature ski chalet that he designed and built himself.  And I was worried that he wouldn't accept a dog in the family. 

happy new year

Treatment & Preventative Meds / What's in your first aid kit?
« on: December 12, 2005, 12:15:48 am »
I'd like to put together a first aid kit for my furkids and was curious to see what others put in theirs.  What are the essential things that should go in a doggie first aid kit?

Mixed Breed Pictures / Plays well with felines
« on: December 10, 2005, 06:22:37 pm »
I can't stop taking pictures of our new little one.  We're so proud, and she's so photogenic.  Here she plays with the cat - I love how she totally understands that the cat is above her in the hierarchy.  She was 20 lbs. at 11 weeks (she's now 13, and I can't wait to see how much she weighs tomorrow at the vet).  She has this lovely, mellow, attentive personality; I've never seen a puppy so calm and well-behaved.  Her name could be:

Margot
Daisy
Gracie
Indy
Greta

Any thoughts?

Introduce Yourself to the Forum / What will she be?
« on: December 09, 2005, 09:26:17 pm »
Hi everyone!  Meet our beautiful new 3 month old baby.  She's amazing - she learns so fast and is a complete joy to have around.  We're not sure exactly what she is or how big she'll be when she grows up - she's about 20 pounds right now.  Is that consistent with a big dog?  I want to feed her appropriately.  Thanks!

Jessica
