Kathy, This is Southern Gardener. I’m astounded that you would even suggest not having him neutered! Have you BEEN to your local animal shelter lately? Have you logged on the ANY GSD forums and seen all the unwanted, abandoned and abused GSD’s? Like I stated in my last post he is a POORLY...

I went out to the coop after working late tonight and my sweetest buff wouldn't get up - she had a very runny bum - I cleaned her off and brought her inside and offered her water with electrolites - we've had 99 degree temps the last couple of days, could it be heat exhaustion? She was...

Quote: We prefer to buy our dogs from disreputable puppy mills that don't test hips, eyes or hearts. We don't know what the parents are like, they were too vicious to get close to. We don't want to neuter him because it might decrease aggression and roaming. And we're going to rely on...

Your pictures are great! I love your pond and the flamingo - I've got two in my garden.

I'm in NW Louisiana also - 5 hours is a little to far for me. Sorry!

I like Hobson - it reminded me of the movie Arthur with Dudley Moore - his butler was named Hobson.

That is SO funny a couple of you put celebs first then your husbands/family! My family!

I'm thinking it's ringworms too. Thanks for the well wishes - I hope she turns out to be a great dog!

Oh I'm so sorry! 108? :o I thought 94 was hot here! I hope you don't loose anymore!

Well, it’s not mange, it’s a fungus. The results of what kind of fungus will take a few days. My vet put her on an oral anti-fungal and antibiotics. This fungus could possibly be contagious, so she still isolated from the other dogs. It is treatable – so hopefully in a couple of weeks she’ll...

I'll never understand how a person can dump an animal. It's simply beyond me. I'm off to bed - my laptop battery is going low and I have to get up with Daisy in a couple hours to take her out to do her business. Thanks for all the well wishes - I'll let you know her diagnosis. Joan

Yes, Sarcoptic mange is scabies and can be transferred to humans. I hope this is not it. dangerouschicken, why do you think it's sarcoptic? I don't have medicated anything except for poision ivy!

Quote: Yes her nose is rough and very raised - she doesn't scratch much so maybe it's not mange. I'm taking her to my vet first thing Monday - if I can find her a good home I'll let her go, if not she stays with me.

Quote: LOL! Daisy it is! She is a sweetie - I'm guessing she's eight to 10 weeks old. I'm a little scared about my dogs contracting this - if it's sarcoptic.

An outstanding citizen of my community dumped this pup in my neighborhood. I was out mowing my yard today and a few kids came by on bikes. This pup was running like crazy to keep up with them, so I hollered at one kid to stop and told her she needed to pick up the pup – it was to young to run...
