Ahh! I have such a soft spot in my heart for working dogs. It's really such gratifying experience training and owning one. GSDs make amazing working dogs, but I definitely see the appeal of dutchie! personally, they're my favorite. You truly get the best combination of traits from shepherds and...

Y.M.C.A.

Ginap, I'm sorry to hear your kitty's sick! I had the same problem with my little one a couple weeks ago. The runny nose should subside with her other symptoms. If you still notice it, I would contact your vet for a stronger treatment (most likely clavamox). Clavamox can be a bit rough of...

I was thinking of switching to homemade wet food for my cat. However, I'm fairly uneducated on the matter. Would I be able to feed this as a substitute for wet food? Would I still be able to leave dry out for snacking? Also, how much does this recipe yield? Edit: After looking at the all in...

I can completely relate. Dogs are first nature for me. My mother imports and trains dogs for purposes ranging from well behaved house mates, to therapy dogs, to protection work. I was lucky enough to get an extensive education about taking care of and training them. But that being said, getting...

It is most definitely a SoA reference! Your situation sounds almost identical to mine and Opies. he's also been eating a quarter of a can of wet twice a day, with holistic kibble out all day for snacking. It's been working well for Opie, so I'm sure it'll work for Ghost. It's nice to know you're...

I can't say I have any advice on her breed or coloring..   But she is a gorgeous kitty! 

I once had a cat the always seemed to be missing. We wouldn't see him for days and our only inclination of knowing he was still in the house was an empty food bowl every morning. Turns out he was climbing into the drawers of my entertainment center, from the back, and sleeping in them all day. I...

I have the same problem. My boyfriend and I are night owls and our kitten doesn't appreciate our sleep schedule. Normally he'll nap after eating dinner. So what I do, is I make sure I get him up around 10. And then once he starts to wake up and get active, i have to play with him for hours to...

Thank you for your time and input!  I'm glad he might not end up  "growing in to" his ears :P 

thank you all 

I grew up in a house with pure bred rotties and always considered myself more of a dog person. I've only had one cat before but I was young when we adopted him and didn't get much experience actually taking care of a kitten. Then my boyfriend and I found Opie, and quickly learned he was on his...
