In space no one can hear Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 2 Jack russell terriersBraxton - 8.5 year-old male rough coat Rascal - 3 year-old broken coat from the rescue. They are awesome dogs! I love them! Talk about a small dog with "a big personality". They are giants.
Alaska Darin Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Bella, a one yr old dark gray mini poodle. "Puntable" does not contain "o's".
Bmwolf21 Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 FSU, As a pup my Akita caught Parvo and almost died as well......I didn't something stupid and took him for a walk around the neighborhood too soon he must have picked up up there..... I nursed that dog back to health by bottle by myself for a full week straight and took time off work to do it....he made it....now he is huge..... John, Ours got it just a week or two after his final parvo vaccination (the three-part vaccine) and the vet said it's not uncommon for vaccines to take a little while longer to "take hold" in some dogs, something to do with antibodies passed on from the mother's milk or something like that. I can't imagine trying to take care of him at home - he was constantly vomiting and had what could only be described as "explosive" diarrhea. He was in the vet's office for four days, hooked up to IV's and had constant antibiotics running through him. It's not a cheap treatment either - most vets charge in the neighborhood of $1,000 to $1,500, depending on the length of hospitalization. Our vet was really good and worked with us and it cost us about $600 to get him stabilized. Not a fun week by any means, and we were lucky we caught it early and got his treatment started ASAP. He's doing good now, weighs about 55 pounds and shows no ill effects from the sickness.
stuckincincy Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Shoot....they get out of line I just sick the cats on them....
Bullpen Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 As well documented in other posts, 9 year-old fawn-colored greyhound named Thurman. Thinks he's a 85-pound lap dog. Still has puppy-like bursts of energy where he tears around the back yard faster than shat-off-a-shovel, but mostly has earned the nickname world's fastest couch potato. Most only live to be 10 to 12 years old... can't imagine what it will be like when he moves the big dog-track in the sky...
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 American Eskimo - Sid, 6 Long-Haired Chihuahua - Leo, 3 Also have an 8 yr old cat named Dusty
TheMadCap Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I've always liked those dogs...are they a handfull? They need LOTS of excersise and thier fine. If you don't walk them or give them a job to do (like chasing squirrels or something) they'll drive you nuts...
Just Jack Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Parker, a Havanese. About 8 years old, got him as a rescue.
stevestojan Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Presley, a beagle/hound/other mix: turns 2 next month Guinness, a pure bred black lab: 7 months old tomorrow. 65 pounds already. Getting his balls cut off next thursday. He's not happy about that.
Mr. Dink Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 12 year old Border Collie (Rex) - the smartest dog I've ever seen
NEEDFREDJACKSONNOW Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Pilot, 1 year old Pomeranian (brindle coat). He thinks he's a sheep dog the way he patrols the house and helps mom and dad shepherd the kids. Most intelligent dog I have met.
Bmwolf21 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 We have Buster, a 4-year-old boxer mix we adopted from a no-kill animal shelter when he was about 12 weeks old. He's a tough guy - survived a bout with parvovirus when he was about four months, which has about a 50% mortality rate. Here's a pic of Buster.
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Mr. Miyagi, 1, a pug and Boston Terrier cross Pops (the Boston Terrier) got loose during the surprise October storm last year & got it on with mom (pug). Best mistake ever.
Gary M Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I have 2 basenji dogs. Zoey who is 8 and Niko who is 1. I lost Nigel(who is my avatar), last year, this week, at the age of 17. 2 beagles - for bunny bustin' and golden retriever/yellow lab for duck huntin'
Cugalabanza Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Here's a pic of Buster. That's a good pic. Looks like a great dog!
Bmwolf21 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 That's a good pic. Looks like a great dog! Thanks. He's fantastic - pretty smart, good with the kids, and a pretty good watchdog.
Marv's Neighbor Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I've had 5 Golden Retrievers. 2 raised from pups and the last 3 were older "rescue" dogs. #5 died last December and I'm looking for #6.
Britbillsfan Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 6 y.o. Rottweiler and a 4 y.o. Pomeranian/Yorkshire Terrier Cross. The Rottie is probably the best dog I've ever had, the cross can be a little b*&&er on occassion.
