My Dominique seems to have a tumor on one side of her back. It doesn't seem to impede her in any way or bother her. She doesn't mind if you pet the area either. All of her feathers are intact. I suppose it could be a deformity except that it seems to be getting larger. She is still laying...
If I had her body, I would be wearing that stuff too. I think her wardrobe is meant to inspire the dominatrix in all of us to be better leaders of our dog. Either that or it's because she's English. I grew up for a while in Newmarket, England (racing capital of England) and it wasn't...
Are you the only person training your dog?
1. Get a well fitted collar. You want tight enough so that you can only put two fingers between it and her neck. If she is still growing, check it frequently.
2. Consider using her food to train her. If she eats 2 cups of food a day in two seperate...
My parents used to cheat. They would set the cable to a kids station and set out breakfast before they went to bed. Then when we got up, we could eat breakfast and watch TV and not wake them up. We were not allowed to knock on their door before a certain time, as well, unless we were hurt...
Chicken wire is built to keep chickens in, not predators out. Don't underestimate predators because you haven't had anything go wrong in the past. Think of them as ever expanding. If a racoon has a litter of kits, it will, in time, need more territory. One may just happen to cross you...
Emzyyy - I think you may have missed the parts where the OP's young daughter had been hitting the dog with a SHOVEL and screaming at it and the dog was STILL heading for more chickens. The dog had what is called blood lust. It would have kept going until all the chickens, ducks, turkeys were...
I would also have a word with that store and tell them what happened. Hopefully, they'll feel responsible enough to offer replacements for your other fish.
I don't live in the Springs. We live about 30 minutes north-west of Denver. We see hawks ALL the time. I'm starting to wonder about whether my girls will ever free range the yard. Just today, there were two calling to each other and circling. They were so high that I could barely see them...
I took it for perinatal depression. I get depressed during my pregnancies and after the births. It's supposed to be the safest to take while you are pregnant or nursing. I wish I had kept taking it longer. I've been thinking of going back to see my doctor as I'm have those "itchy"-type...
Palpate is feeling their tummy. Gentle pressure is usually applied for better clarification. You'll be trying to feel for the babies (if they are there). I don't know if you've had a baby before but my midwives palpated my tummy to make sure my kids were in the right position.
I have never hunted or fished. I know, hard to believe, eh? I have a deep respect for the animals and hunting. I just don't have any experience with hunting and am not sure if I could "handle" all of it. I've been able to cull 3 pets but not without some hesitation. Did any of you start...
If my dog would not stop going after my chickens while being hit with a shovel by my child and my child was screaming for my help, by all means, yes, he'd be dead. I adore my dog, he is my best friend and the greatest dog in the world but the safety of my children ALWAYS comes first...
I wish I had the room for ducks... and the pond. Our lot is about 60 feet by 100 feet. The house itself is supposed to be 1300 square feet with an attached 1 1/2 car garage. So, we have a largeish front yard and a 60 foot by 27 foot backyard. I have been thinking about building a nicer...
I looked into getting curtain for my sons room in our old house. It would have cost us $40 for one window. I ended up cheating and using a fabric shower curtain. It worked just fine, cost half as much and was actually thicker than any of the curtains we saw at the low, low price of $40.
