Big Paws Only Dog Forums

I taught mine the "leave it" command and the "spit it out" command.  One was before the cat goes in the mouth and the other obviously after the cat is in the mouth.  Of course my cats also have claws so that helps.  But I have a water gun and that has better range and accuracy over the squirt bottle.   So if you are in the kitchen and the dog has the cat in the living room you can do a sneak attack.    Hope that helps.

Hey Everyone,

I have been kicking around the idea of getting a playmate for Kaila and Cinder.  My only problem is that I can't seem to make a decision on breed or breed mix that I actually am looking for.  So I decided to open the floor up for suggestions.  Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.  My only requirements are that the dog be at least 60 lbs full grown and have short hair.  I guess I should add that Michael is hoping for something a little less "enthusiastic" as the girls.  This is all in the very beginning stages.   Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas.

P.S.
I just had to add that Kaila turned a year old yesterday.  I will try and add some new pics of the girls tonight.  Now I have to get back to work.     

I just saw this girl and knew that she needed to be on a post.

I just had Kaila and Cinder both spayed last week.  Kaila is 11 months and Cinder is 20 months.  Michael wanted to wait until Cinder went through her first heat which was okay since it snuck up on us.  I had Kaila knocked down to have her hips x-rayed because she was limping constantly so it really seemed like the perfect time to get her spayed on one visit.  If I did it over again or with another female I would spay before the first heat cycle but the age doesn't really matter to me.  Just my own personal preference.   

For the humping issue: Cinder tried humping Kaila a couple of times before she was spayed but she hasn't tried again since the surgery.  I also have a female Boston Terrier that humps.  She usually humps the large squeaky toys.  I am not sure what the toys have done to deserve the treatment.  But then again she also marks the yard like a little male.  She hikes her leg and everything.  I have never seen a female hike her leg and mark until Marty.  I think she may be a male dog stuck in a female's body. 

Okay, now I feel like a moron.  I didn't get a chance to go to the link and look at the website.    

Hey everyone,

I heard about this on the radio while at work this morning.  I had never heard of this before but I thought I would pass along the website.  The website is www.farmsanctu ary.com.  I will admit that the only part I really looked at was the adopting a turkey part of the website.  Mainly because that was what they were talking about on the radio.

I attached a couple of baby pics of Kaila and Cinder.  Cinder is 16 weeks old and that is the first day we got her and Kaila is 6 weeks old.  Thanks so much for making us feel welcome.  I think all of your dogs are beautiful.  I hope you like the pics.
