Anything Non-Dog Related / NDR-Red wine
« on: November 27, 2008, 03:19:37 pm »
I'm making a very rare cooking attempt, it's 9:40 pm, my recipe (which true to form I've just read) calls for red wine...I don't have any. Alternatives? It's just beef stew, do I skip it, do I use white??

Anything Non-Dog Related / LED Flashers
« on: November 26, 2008, 01:55:54 pm »
Does anyone know where to buy the little LED flashing lights that you can clip to things? I looked all over yesterday with no luck. I finally broke down and bought the heart-shaped red flashers made for pets...we lost them 10mins after getting to the park 
The clip was still on their collars but the heart was not! I will be trying to get my money back tomorrow.
I was told you can get them at MEC, but I'm not driving into Toronto to get them

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Cranberry
« on: August 27, 2008, 02:30:03 pm »
Does anyone give Cranberry to their pup? Kahn has a history of UTI and I was thinking about giving her a Cranberry Capsule a day just to ensure it stays away. Does anyone have information about Cranberry and Dogs?

I found these while reading a Dogfancy magazine this morning, unfortunately it comes a little late for the orphaned 6, but it may prove useful in the future. Ann

Bullmastiff Discussions & Pictures / April swimming anyone?
« on: April 04, 2008, 04:26:18 pm »
Took Phelan to the dogpark today, nice bright sunny day, most of the snow has melted making it pretty muddy. Normally we walk down one side of the park, pass in front of the pond and walk along the other side. Today, however, the path was very muddy so I decided to turn back before we got to the pond. Apparently Phelan was not to be deterred, so when I called him to come, he ran in the other direction So I followed him (thank god) and watched him walk out onto the still frozen over pond, calling him back the entire time. He has apparently decided today is the day of independence, walks out to the middle (15ft out) and CRASHES through!! Now my silly Bullmastiff LOVES the water but doesn't actually swim! So I gave him a chance to get his feet up onto the ice as I think most dogs would do. No, no feet up on the ice, just sinking and looking at me with sheer panic. So I of course being S.M.R.T walk out onto the ice KNOWING I too am going to crash through, get about a foot from him and fall through. Pull him up between us, crashing that barrier, get him in front of me holding him up and breaking the ice between us and shore. It was not warm 
Thank god I'm tall and could touch on my tip toes, and it was just a pond. Funny part (there is one) is I then walked back through the park absolutely drenched in the middle of April and no one said a word Silly puppy- back to NILIF we go.

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Mastiffs
« on: March 07, 2008, 08:23:23 pm »
Hey guys, I think we finally decided that we will be adding a Mastiff as our second dog 
Are planning for next summer, so if anyone knows of a good Breeder in Ontario, or which to avoid, what specific things to look for, I would really appreciate it. As breeder listings as prohibited, please just send me a PM. Any other Mastiff tips feel free to post here. Thanks, Ann.

Anything Non-Dog Related / NDR Wing
« on: December 12, 2007, 04:44:24 pm »
Does anyone have the t-mobile Wing? I just got one as a gift, it was purchased off Ebay and the keyboard is not fully functional (some letters not working). Just wanted to know if this is a common problem or a result of buying from Ebay-in which case it's getting returned Thanks, Ann
Thanks, Ann

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Treats??
« on: September 25, 2007, 08:09:11 pm »
Hey guys, I need some treat ideas for Phelan's bedtime treat. He really only likes the dried liver (which are for training) and the "jerky" which are a little small for his bedtime treat. He likes chewy treats and really isn't big on any of the crunchy bone shaped treats (we've tried many). So if any of you have some easy to make natural recipes I would love to hear them....apples and bananas are a favorite. Thanks, Ann and Phelan.
