I'm adopting a German Shepherd - TOMORROW!!!!

His name is Duke and he's 1 year old. I can't believe this is finally happening! He still acts like a puppy and needs a lot of training, but I'm ready for it. I'm going to meet him, and 9 chances out of 10, take him home tomorrow afternoon! He's going to sleep on the couch in my room. It really happened fast...3 days fast...

Pepper is going to be grumpy, but he'll get over it. This big boy just wants to play all of the time! The organization that picked him up gets the dogs that need… Continue

Please pray for Pepper!

Pepper is only 7 years old and is wasting away. There are only two possibilities: a pancreatic deficiency OR cancer. He may be the fastest dog that comes to the dog park (second only to a Greyhound), and he may carry 4-6 pounds on his back for 1.5 hours and still have energy to burn, but he's sick. He lost 1.4 pounds of muscle in 2 months. In a year he has lost 4 inches around his neck of pure muscle. He can now fit in his puppy collar. He went from 15 inches around the neck to about 11. You… Continue

Does your dog love raw veggies or grapes?

Jet Li loves to share Turtlemann's food, rich in greens, or lettuce and often with grapes and apples.

We have to watch Jet Li because he will eat far more than his share and then throw them up. Other Pug owners have shared that their pug soes the same thing.

My brother sent me this note:

Male toad gets a new companion

Southern Toads and toads in general are not considered social animals, but rather solitary. I have kept Southern Toads (and one Woodhouse) since I was 9 years old. I am am never without at least one toad for more than a few weeks and have found quite the contrary to be true. Every toad I have had has done better with at least one other toad. When by themselves, especially after the death of all other tank-mates, they stop eating. My male toad was in… Continue
