Thank you for the support! We are very excited! I did put the treat jar up so even the kids wouldn't forget and give them a treat. I've never seen my dogs so excited for feeding time. My sick female was never one to want to eat, now she is the one that dives in the quickest. I also haven't had...
Sorry, one more question... when I ask for a meat bone exactly what kind of bones am I looking for. I don't know what kind to tell the butcher/processor. I know this will be further down the line, I'm just trying to get ready.
I also need names of coops that I can order meat from in bulk. I live...
I also already give an omega-3 fatty acid supplement to the dogs and I will continue that. I am going to look into the digestive enhancer as well. I'm open to all information and help!
Ok guys...I did it!!! I switched to a raw diet. I first read the whole site that "naturalfeddogs" gave and printed out the "getting started guide". I can't find chicken backs anywhere here so I started with drumstick with the skin off. My dogs took to it like champs. It was actually fun to...
Thank you to everyone for the replies. There is a lot of useful information! To AinaWGSD: She has been checked for hypothyroidism. I will try bathing her more often, I just didn't want to make her skin worse. I haven't done the allergy testing because I just knew she would be allergic to...
We have done the skin scraping, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't have tapeworms. I worked for the vet for 9 years so unfortunately I am familiar with tapeworms . What kind of pj's are you talking about? I haven't seen them before, do you know where to find them. I'm pretty sure she is allergic...
I have a 5 year old Boston Terrier, female, spayed. I feed her Taste of the Wild salmon because I need her on a "grain free" diet. She has severe skin allergies, always has. She gets about 2-3 steroid shots a year plus I keep her on oral steroids, but we keep her on the lowest dose possible. Her...
Thank you for the reply. I know they don't start hatching out until later in the year, but everywhere I've checked is already all sold out for 2012. I will repost when it gets closer to summer. Thanks again!
I have been trying to buy some peachicks or a young pair. I don't want to have to buy 8+ chicks. I would like to start with just a pair. This will be my first time with peafowl. I live in the SE corner of New Mexico and it is really hard to find anyone around that has any.
Thanks
I asked the same question on here when I was pregnant with my last child. I got a lot of replies and they all said there was nothing to worry about. Although you do need to wash your hands after handling the chickens or cleaning their coop. Also when you are cleaning the coop and stirring up a...
I lOVE it! Maggie is a very well behaved girl! I actually laughed out lound when she pinned Dude down with just the weight of her head. Thanks for sharing.
...when you wake up at 3am, realize it's lightly raining, run outside to check on your 3 1/2 month old silkies in their tractor to make sure they are ok. I will rationalize by saying we are in an extreme drought and they haven't seen rain before...
My Boston "Terrorists" do it all the time and drag their bellies through the grass or carpet. The funniest thing is that one of my goats do it too over the soft green grass. I think it feels good.
She is not receiving money from her ex, but does receive food stamps. I guess I will try and set up a time to speak with a lawyer. I want to give this kid an actual chance at having a great life, but I am not willing to risk my freedom or my childrens welfare to do so. I didn't know if the...
The situation is my DH's sister is a really bad drug addict. She lives in North Carolina with her son that is 14 years old. He is drug from house to house and town to town and has already failed a year in school. He is a really good kid. This kid's father lives in Oklahoma and is also a drug...
