Does Your Dog Sleep With You at Night?

kellys3ps @kellys3ps (3723) • United States 27 Sep 08

We have kennel trained the puppy we have right now, so he sleeps in his kennel, but every other dog we have ever had has slept in bed with us. Does your dog have a bed of his own, or does it sleep with you at night?

How do/did you choose a name for your dog?

stylioJ @stylioJ (403) • United States 19 Sep 08

We got my dog from an animal rescue place. She is a hound mix named Lilly. When we decided to get her, we thought about naming her something else so we could choose it ourselves. However, we just thought "Lilly" was too cute to...

dmartin51 I've always liked to call my dogs unusual names. My black lab is named after a Gone With The Wind character "Katie Scarlett". My yellow lab got his name in a more endearing way. My chocolate lab Quincey died the same night my best freinds father died, so to...

Do You Mind if Someone Pets your Pet

Amber @AmbiePam (112052) • United States 15 Sep 08

Today I went to pick up some vitamins at my vet for my dog Sherlock. They are vitamins to heal up the sores on the end of his ears. It's a condition he was born with that comes and goes. Anyway, a woman came out of her SUV with...

dmartin51 You know I've never thought much about this until now. I've never thought much about it when I take my dogs to the vet because I "assume" everyone there is an animal lover so they wouldn't hurt them. My dogs are pretty friendly and I wouldn't worry about...

dmartin51 Well, I've fed my dogs chocolate cake and they're still alive. I've given them all kinds of sweets and they are fine. Chocolate can be a problem, but only if they eat just chocolate and lots of it. I mean like solid chocolate, not something with...

dmartin51 Hi Warrior, Are you looking to get a dog? If so it depends on how much time and energy you're willing to give them. I have 2 Labs (13 & 11 ) so they are pretty sedate, sometimes. I really appreciate mutts too, I think they have just as much personality and...

Humbug25 @Humbug25 (12540) 7 Sep 08

I really don't use my microwave oven and have been very tempted to give it away before on freecycle. It did come in very handy when I moved into my house a year ago and had no cooker for 6 weeks. Nowadays I simply use it for...

dmartin51 My microwave was a gift and about the only thing I really use it for is to heat up the dogs food. I buy the large cans and use 1/3 of it each day to mix with their dry food, so to take the chill off I put some water in it and heat it up. I don't even use...

How can I get my dog to play?

lilcee @lilcee (2703) • United States 6 Sep 08

I have a dog that is almost 12. I know she's getting old but she doesn't want to play with anything. It's not that she can't move or run or anything like that. She can still do that. I just can't get her to chase anything like a...

dmartin51 I too have an older dog (13) and I'm just glad he can get up the porch steps every day. My younger dog (11) is a bit more frisky. She's a very happy dog in general. I don't know if maybe bringing treats into the mix would help but I haven't ever met a dog that...
