rustystar Our old dog, Mace would bark for no reason. We said he was listening to little voices in his head. Another dog that we had, Elmo, would try to get behind the toilet for no reason. I think that old dogs might suffer from a series of mini-strokes and that...

rustystar I have to credit my mother-in-law for getting me interested. She kept saying she was going to teach me but we never seemed to find the time. Finally, she gave me a book for Christmas and I have been hooked ever since!

rustystar Your dog is definitely not too old to be neutered. We have adopted several older dogs from the humane society and had them neutered with no problem.

rustystar Yes...it is mud season once again here in western PA. I haven't figured out how to deal with it but a family that was in our 4-H club a few years back tried this. They dumped shale in the muddy places (standing areas, barn entrances, etc.). It worked at the...

rustystar I always liked Man O War. I had a huge picture of him hanging in my childhood home for years and it always represented greatness to me. I also liked Native Dancer. I don't know that stats on either one of them but they are my personal favorites.
