gus the deaf am staff
Thursday, July 16, 2009 | By pittbulllover
i have a 120 lb, year old bull dog who is completely deaf. i did not know this when i purchased him. he is solid white with a few black spots. i found out later that solid white dogs of his breed are missing a cromezone and mostly are deaf or have blue eyes. his ear canal is completely closed. i found out on my own that he could not hear a thing. if we walked in the room and he was sleeping he would not know we were there. well anyway my gus knows sigh language. our own signs hat we have made up for him. he is the most affectionate thing in the world, being pit bulls are so ferocious. he is one of 5 that we have. the funny thing is,, when he is out in the yard i have to wave my arms back and forth to grab his attention. then i do our sigh for treat and he comes running. ( the trick is to always have treats on hand!) well i thought this was between me and him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WRONG!!! now all of my other dogs have gotten wise to this hand signal ( i put my fingers to my mouth) and they also want a treat. my point being, it takes patients, knowledge, and repetition, but it all pays off in the end. most would put an animal like this down. what a shame to end such a wonderful life. take time to really know your animal. they are truely your bent friend!!!

It's only a leash.
Thursday, June 25, 2009 | By Chihuahua_101
I have a 6 month old chihuahua named buddy he is not the easiest thing to hanndel some of the time. the first day i got him (6-22-09) i tyred to put a leash on him. to make a long story short he cryed and yipped.
SOLUTION-
evry day put your chihuahua or any other puppy dog on its leash stay in the room with him or her while the lesh is on it and the other end is tied to somthing. do this ever day for about 10 minutes and the puppy will slowly get use to it.
GOOD LUCK HOPOE IT HELPS !

A few hints to start
Tuesday, June 16, 2009 | By taffypaddy
Here are just a few handy hints for home cooking for dogs that I have picked up along the way:
Variety is very important so I divide Lulu's meals up the same way I would my own (wouldn’t you get bored of your food if you ate the same meal at each sitting) So Lulu has Breakfast (normally oat based) Lunch (normally Fish based) and Dinner (normally meat based) Recipes will follow.
Cooking for your Dog does not need to be time consuming; I normally cook in bulk and then divide the food into individual portions and freeze. By doing it that way I only spend an hour or two cooking for two weeks food. You also ensure that the food you are giving your dog is fresh and full of nutrients as it will be cooked and frozen the day that you buy the ingredeance.
You would be surprised at what food and combinations of food your Dog will like, so why not put some of your own food aside for them to try before spending money on something they wont eat, this also prevents your dog from becoming a fussy eater and has made me cook healthier for myself such as not adding salt when cooking. (But always put the food in their bowl and not give them bits while you are eating as your dog will start begging for food while you are eating)
The normal rule when cooking for your dog is 1/3 veg 1/3 meat/fish and 1/3 carbs, but it is well worth researching about what your dogs bread requires as some breads need more or less of certain things (as Lulu is still a puppy she needs extra calcium) and don’t forget if you are unsure about anything your vet will be happy to advise you.
My next post will be on 'good' and 'bad' foods for dogs :-)

This is my dog I've written about. He's a Chihuahua Dashund Mix who's 1.3 years old. He's what I would call a "Lucky Dog" because of his DOB. He was born on St. Patrick's Day 2008.

I H8 PARVO...
Friday, March 27, 2009 | By RIP KEKE 03/28/09
I am so upset......my 11 mo. old Chihuahua named KEKE just passed away. He died of PARVO. He was just days away from his 1st birthday....April 6, 2009. He passed on March 28, 2009. I did not have any money to take him to the vet. so, I tried giving him PEDIALITE- the stuff for babies. At first he seemed to be doing a little better, but i think he was in sooooo much pain that he just finally gave up.......PARVO is a horrible virus that kills plenty of innocent puppies each year. I'm not quite sure why I wrote this post. I guess I just miss my dog terribly. For everyone with puppies, please try your best to get them vaccinated. You never know, it just might save them from being killed by PARVO............rip KEKE.

Guinea Pig is Ideal Pet
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 | By floxyz
Unlike the rumors you may have heard, guinea pigs are not from New Guinea and they are not pigs. As you read this article concerning background guinea pig information, you will learn each of the needs that these South American natives require to be met in order to remain healthy and happy.
Guinea pigs are large for rodents, weighing between 700 and 1200g (1.5-2.5 pounds), and measuring between 20 and 25 cm (8-10 inches) in length. They typically live an average of four to five years, but may live as long as eight years. According to the 2006 Guinness Book of Records the longest living guinea pig survived 14 years, 10.5 months.
Whether you realize it or not, guinea pigs truly make excellent companions. Pet Guinea pigs are a docile member of the rodent family, and they rarely ever bite. These creatures are well-known for delightfully squeaking whenever their favorite humans enter into the room. For older children that have mastered the proper techniques for handling guinea pigs, guinea pigs are wonderful starter pets.
Costs Associated With Guinea Pigs
At the time that you receive your guinea pig pet, you will need to purchase a cage which normally runs around $35 dollars. Each year, you may estimate that you will spend $75 dollars purchasing food, and an additional $25 annually for treats and toys. Each year, you will also have to pay $50 dollars for the guinea pig's annual veterinary check-up and $400 dollars each year for bedding material and litter. When purchasing your guinea pig, it is highly recommended that you receive your guinea pig from a well-respected, responsible breeder, or even better, you may adopt one from a small-animal rescue group or a shelter.
Supply Checklist for Your New Guinea Pig
* Grass hay
* Guinea pig pellets
* Hardwood or Aspen shavings
* Comb and Brush for grooming
* Untreated, unpainted piece of wood or either a safe chew toy
* Solid-bottom cage with a plastic-bottom or wire cover
* Cardboard boxes, rocks, bricks, plastic pipes, and any other appropriate toys
* Covered sleeping box or medium flower pot
* Attachable water bottle and drinking tube
As you can see, there is a lot of interesting guinea pig information out there for all of those interested to learn. At anytime that you are considering purchasing a guinea pig; you need to make sure that you take the time to learn the responsibilities that are associated with taking care of a guinea pig. In the end, a guinea pig will provide you or your child with a long-term friend.
