    My lilacs didn't bloom in Minnesota. Was it the cold winter?

    Well there were a few blooms; 4 on 4 well established bushes. Was it just too cold last winter? What can I do to ensure they bloom next year? Thanks!

As I was trying to catch her I heard her sneeze a few times.I couldn't catch her so I took her off the roost and treated her with the VetRX as directed ie diluted some and dribbled in her nares, put a...

    Question about Rotties

    I really know nothing about Rottweilers but I know some forum members do so I hope one can answer my question. It is just curiosity really. At agility class there is a gorgeous Rottie female pup, between 5 and 6 months old I think. She was getting overly excited at the chute, so while the...

    New dog is timid - how can I help her? Update Jan 15

    I got a 4 yr old collie from her breeder as a companion for my 3.5 yr old collie. She was a former show dog and had two litters before being spayed in August. They are both females and I introduced them first to make sure they get along and they both wanted to play with each other so I brought...

    Best dog toy ever!

    I made a dog toy for my dogs with a cheap lunge whip and an old stuffed squirrel toy. Remove the 8 inch popper from the end of the whip and tie on the squirrel and voila! If your dog has any prey drive at all, this can exercise them to exhaustion while you stand in one spot drinking a beer...

    So I asked my DH,"When you put the lights on the trees outside can you

    put both big and little lights on?" I don't know if you have seen trees decorated like this but they look really pretty and I think usually the bigger bulb lights go on first and then the mini ones so they are all kind of interspersed on the tree. Okay so the above quote is what I said. Here's...

    Doggie sous-chef.

    I was sauteing chopped up veggies in olive oil to make soup, needed some more oil so grabbed the bottle right beside the stove, undid the cap and dropped it. Where did it land? Right on the dog's back. She was standing between me and the stove. I have to lean over her to cook. If I go to the...

    Who else has hip bursitis?

    I've had bursitis in my hip for about three years. I'm starting to think about having arthroscopic surgery to remove the bursa. Nobody has recommended it to me; I've just read about it online. Anyone ever have that surgery? How did it work out?

    I love Fleet Farm - cheap acrylic

    Last winter I put clear vinyl shower curtains around my run to wind and snow proof it but I put a lot of staples in the wood, went through a lot of vinyl and still would end up outside in the dark in a blizzard re-stapling the flapping plastic. I've been looking at plexiglass sheets but that...

    What do you think of doggie wheelchairs?

    I will probably get one for my 9 yr old collie to help him walk farther, go faster to keep up with the young collie and me, and get more exercise. He is gradually getting weaker on the hind end but now it isn't so gradual, his decline is accelerating. DH said when he has seen dogs in...

    Anyone's dog have a back operation. How'd it work out?

    My 9 yr old collie has been getting progressively weaker in the hind end but his xrays look good. He has a lot of other medical issues but started to get noticeably weaker in the past month so I took him back to the U today. The vet thought it might be a bulging disc. Romie will go back for an...

The 3 rail fence is lined with chicken wire and has a hot wire around it about 6...
