just curious if anyone knows how Jim and Yogi are doing?

and other random photos from this weekend..... Yup, thats my stick.... Getting kisses... Getting Nibbles....

Just a dusting really, but its sticking. Ozzy FLIPPED OUT!!!!!!!! He ran around the house 3 times like a puppy and he keeps asking to go back out. I am so excited for him this winter, he missed out on most of last years winter snow fun. I should add it was in the low 70s yesterday.. what a...

well for me at least. I am well used to Ozzys hair in the fridge, on the ceiling fan, clinging to my pant leg and falling on the floor under my desk at work resulting in dirty looks from the cleaning crew, in my lunch, replacing lint in the dryer lint try....BUT today I experienced a newf hair...

...With Ozzy. This is his most favourite place ever, there are streams, a pond, the woods, fields. AND plenty of other dogs to play with.... Have I fixed the dreaded red x's??? [ 10-25-2004, 04:59 PM: Message edited by: Ozzy-pie ]

Our deaf kitty got out this morning and has been gone for about 13 hours. When he goes out he usually turns up in an hour or so, none of the neighbors have seen him. I am soooo worried. I just hope he curled up in someones barn and got shut in. its cold out and he hates the cold, another...

the first being the Hide-a-Squirrel.... its called Egg Babies by Plush Puppies, Ozzy got one for his birthday and he absolutely loves it! Same basic principal as the hide-a-toy series, this is a turtle ( we call her Tilly) who carries three plush eggs, which are really just covered squeekers...

Ozzy turns two tomorrow, Oct 12th. We both have to work, so we are having a little party for him in the evening. I can't believe how fast the time has gone!

Ever since we got back from house sitting, Ozzy has been moping around. He misses Jubilee the dane so much, and she him. When it was time for us to go, Jubilee jumped into the explorer with Ozzy and REFUSED to get out. Coaxing a stubborn 6 year old 146lb dane is not easy! Especailly away from...

There were times this year when Ozzy could barely get up, many times needing us to help him. Times when he could barely walk un-assisted, times when he never raised his head, times his hocks crossed so much he would almost fall over. Now he may look pretty wonky, but he is stronger than he has...

We just got home from a week house and Great Dane sitting for my inlaws who were away on holiday. The first few are from the day before we left, Ozzy and his best friend Buster taking a break from playing tugs... Buster loves Ozzys water bowl, he has tried to sit in it on occasion...

I have been working on getting Ozzys manners better on the lead, he is progressing very well, and we are going for more walks around town. He is physically the strongest he has been, I think EVER, and now that the sass is back in his personality I can SEE him CHOOSE to disobey me. He knows...

does anyone have any pos/neg experience with a raw diet helping skin and coat problems. In general I am thinking about starting a raw diet for Oz, his coat is in a sad state, and he now refuses to eat anything that has inflight in it ( Sorry Lynn!) He definitely is missing something in his...

Been meaning to ask this for a while. I see that lots of people give oreos or other chocolate treats occasionally. I always heard chocolate was bad for dogs, is there a safe amount? Ozzy goes NUTS when ever there is any chocolate in the house, he has stolen a brownie before and been fine, and...

Ozzy has a rather unpleasant smell coming from his, err, "hind". He has not had any loose stools, there is no, ehemm, "residue" in that vicinity so I am worried it could be impacted anal sacks? No scooting, no going after that area, though not sure he could due to wobblers. Thought about a...
