EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[kajira]

Harley took a square rawhide, and chewed it into a perfect circle every single time! I told the veterinarian that something was wrong months before he died. Had she listened to me, he would have lived. No matter how I insisted though, she told me I was wrong.
$4,500, ten days and even giving him plasma didn't save him. He passed on Thanksgiving morning 2010. So much drama involved.
For those that don't know, there is nothing wrong with rawhides. The problem is when the dog swallows big chunks. The rawhide begins to pile up, and block their intestines.

Yep, and it sucks and is stupid the vet didn't listen to you.

I had a mastiff that just dropped dead on me - she was only 11 months old.

And, she was the dog that replaced my bulldog that died of cancer, right before his second birthday. I had a strain of bad luck with dogs for a few years. Cancers, strokes, neurological problems. It's why I don't have mastiffs anymore. I couldn't handle it.

We just whistle and the dogs come back. DH taught Jewel when she was little, and it's rubbed off on Jasper.

To be fair to the dogs, a whistle typically works.

My husband just challenged a bee's nest. Came in with out his shoes, and left them in the yard in the dark because bees were chasing him.

Hope he's ok. Bess chasing you can be scary.

We had a lab that would go to his kennel if you told him to, no matter how farm from home he was. Jewel is too smart for that, but if you say "hungry?" she runs straight to the kitchen from anywhere.

Also, super bad at whistling. I can do it fine unless it really matters. :/
