Can anyone give me some suggestions for types of food to try for our Newf who seems to have allergies of some kind. He gets hot spots and his ears are all yucky. The vet said it is probably a food allergy. I think we need to stay away from a chicken based food so any suggestions? Grain free...

Mason has been licking his paws lately and I have no idea why? He had a very small hot spot on his leg that he chewed but seems to be leaving alone since I have put gold bond powder on it. The spot was never weepy or yucky he just pulled the hair off on this one little spot. But the paw...

My son is getting out of the Marine corps at the end of this month and will be working in New Cumberland. I am looking for information about the area. Safe places to live? Things to do? They have not found a place to live and do have 2 big dogs so the place would need to be pet friendly...

I am looking for some advice on Mason. He has always been a hand full. He is 15 months old and has never really liked to be cuddled and rarely sits still for very long. He was a HUGE nipper and jumper. The jumping is pretty much gone now and the nipping has gotten better. He seems to have...

Mason is my second Newf and nothing like Henry was! I am just looking for some advice and discussion. Mason just turned one and is very skinny. He eats a lot...was 6 cups a day and I have now changed it to 7-8 cups a day. This is so strange to me because Henry never ate too much and if he...

I am looking for ideas for a wedding rehearsal dinner. I know we can go to a local restaurant, but what kind of restaurant? I am looking for inexpensive ideas that are fun and casual. Anyone have any ideas? We are coming from New York to Georgia so I can't use my home. I really appreciate...

I am wondering what are your favorite dog items? What are the top 5 things you can't live without or you love? Like a dryer, favorite shampoo, special toys. Just thought it would be fun to see a few of our favorite things!

Jeannie and Angela - Can you please explain in detail some of the infractions so we are all on the same page. Some of them seem are very subjective. For example what is poking the tiger? And what is stirring the pot? Does this mean there can be no discussions or debates on here, just...

Can you guys give me tips on teaching drop it and leave it? Mason does not do either!! When I say drop it and he doesn't then I open his mouth and take it out and praise him with a treat. Does this just take more time? I also can't get him to drop the ball when he fetches it. He gets it...

I am looking to either work from home or do something different. My choice would be to work from home actually making money! Do any of you work from home and have any tips or suggestions? Also, are there any of the businesses that you use on a regular basis such as Pampered Chef, Avon, Mary...

It seems as though many of us have new puppies in the house! I thought it would be fun to compare notes, so to speak, and just learn from one another. Here are a few things I am interested in knowing about: How old is your pup? Is your pup crate trained? Are they housebroken? How long do they...

My son is a US Marine and left today for a 7 month deployment to Afghanistan. He is 21 years old. I would greatly appreciate any prayers and good thoughts for him and his fellow Marines. I know they are well trained, but it's still a very unsettled place. His name is Nick and I know he would...

How do you get a puppy to sleep through the night? I am exhausted! Much more than I thought I would be! I am the only one taking care of Mason and he just does not sleep it seems. I let him out at night around 12:30 and would like for him to sleep until 5:30. To me that seems reasonable but...

It has taken me forever to introduce Mason, but here he is! He is now 14 weeks old. He is adorable and we love him but he is quite the handful!! I can't wait to watch all the new puppies grow up!!

My 3 year old kitty, OZ, passed away this week. He was the kitty I posted about one time with crystals in his urine. He seemed to be doing fine on the new food we were feeding him, but all of a sudden last weekend seemed very lethargic. I took him to the vet and they drained his bladder and...
