I watched my Dad get a big wad of peanut butter on 3 fingers, and smear it on the palate of our dogs we had back then....we laughed so hard we cried !My mom used to give her dog peanut butter toast, peanut butter side up, so that it stuck to the roof of her mouth. It was hilarious
LOL...There is a black Lab sleeping in this dog house.
Cute huh ?
We have had many many hunting dogs...this lab line was the best.
I bought a yellow in CA about 6 years ago who was so toy-driven I gave her to the search & rescue people...she was nuts.
She would steal tomatoes, anything that looked like a ball.
She had no interest in animals, cats or birds, or whatever...but if I put a ball (especially bright pink) on the windowsill, she'd sit under the window & stare at it 24/7 and not move.
I swear she would starve to death...never took her eyes off the ball.
That is necessary for search & rescue dogs, but not worth a box of rocks for hunting/retrieving water fowl.
This is Maggie......beautiful dog !
But NUTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, yes, they are all different, different temperments, and drive.
Quote: 4 LF hens, 2 black, and 2 salmon that were supposed to go to n8ivetxn, 2 white bantam cocks, 1 white cockerel, and 3 white bantam hens / pullets....
Thanks, yes, she's lovely, even though she's dirtyHer name is now "Zoe" because it means "life"...
This is the dog in the dog house:
Snicker...you said you wouldn't do it !!!
WOW! over 8500 pages in the Washingtonian forum, we rock this chicken thing (well, technically not me yet, I haven't received my backyard babies yet)! I was able to read the first few pages, and the last few pages, but there was a lot in the middle I didn't have time to catch-up on
I was very sad reading a few posts, but so grateful you were able to share. Newbies like me need all the info we can get, the good, the bad & the ugly
I am in the South Puget Sound's very own Tac Town. We just moved back home from Des Moines, IA. What a place! People were amazing, weather, not so much. We came back home to be with my family, we all just had to go through the worst thing imaginable. My brother, 32, committed suicide
May nobody ever have to go through that ever again.
My dog was my best friend when I was told the news 1,600 miles away. I didn't think dogs cried until then, he just leaned against my shoulder and bawled with me :0) such a sweetie-poo. My old boss had a golden-doodle that got preggers by the Australian Shepherd that jump the fence, he said "Ya want a dog?!"
^^^ Isn't he gorgeous! Anyway... I should have posted in Random Ramblings! We are a family who just adores living creatures, they are just so much more sincere than people. One day we will have that farm, but for now, we are stuck in a good sized lot in the city. WE! I keep talking about us and y'all just don't have any idea who "we" are! There are 7 of us total, Hubs & I with our 4 boys (yes, four of them) and our little Ellie, who turned a year last month, poor girl...all those boys! Our dog's name is Raider and we have a chinchilla names Scarface, she was the runt and had her ear clipped by a sibling, poor dear. So that's us in a funky nut shell!
Yeah, that's why I didn't quarantine her...I didn't want her to have to go from a box of dead birds, to being completely alone...wanted her to feel as "normal" as possible...can't risk losing her...
Here she is with the d'Uccle....
Quote: Thanks. Yeah, it's been a really awful day...and I only got 4 hours of sleep before the PO called, and I have to work tonight...I see lots of tears in my future...my poor coworkers!
Two separate people have said the same thing, that they think they may have been shipped with dry ice...even someone at my PO said that to the postmaster on the shippers end...you'd think that dry ice would be one of those things that would never get shipped with live animals in an enclosed space!!! They came from Maryland, but I've gotten birds from there before that took even longer than these, with no problems...
