mbanjo - Posted - 10/13/2012:  13:59:29

He took mom to the vets!

DeanT - Posted - 10/13/2012:  14:04:00

For what?

mbanjo - Posted - 10/13/2012:  14:10:31

Barking up the wrong trees!

DeanT - Posted - 10/13/2012:  15:23:34

What's the prognosis?

OM45GE - Posted - 10/13/2012:  16:31:21

She going to get tutored.

DeanT - Posted - 10/13/2012:  17:40:32

and chipped?

mbanjo - Posted - 10/13/2012:  22:05:50

With the latest type of microchip.

DeanT - Posted - 10/14/2012:  05:06:42

and homing device?

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2012:  04:26:08

Remember when they tattooed registration numbers on dogs?

DeanT - Posted - 10/15/2012:  07:46:51

All our greyhounds are tattooed in their ears, that's how they still do it.

dat - Posted - 10/15/2012:  08:52:30

we had a dog with an ear tattoo when I was little,  they tattoo and chip them now, I don't know how long a battery in the chip lasts

That is a really good point... I'm going to have to ask the vet that when I take my dog next time

dat - Posted - 10/15/2012:  09:08:31

I just looked it up, no battery and no internal power source

Alaina - Posted - 10/15/2012:  09:09:12

Then how does it work?

dat - Posted - 10/15/2012:  09:42:46

probably about like the anti theft magnetic strips they put in cd's and packages at the hardware store,  

but I don't understand everything I know about that

Alaina - Posted - 10/15/2012:  09:43:48

Oh okay, good point. I never thought of that...

DeanT - Posted - 10/15/2012:  10:56:08

My dogs would be full of chips if I left the bag too close to the edge of the table

Alaina - Posted - 10/15/2012:  11:00:30

Mine would be full of chocolate chips.... Strangely enough he just throws them up and goes on with life. The vets say that he thinks he's a goat lol

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2012:  11:03:46

My vet is being very diplomatic when she says Toby has an "inappropriate appetite."

Alaina - Posted - 10/15/2012:  11:04:25

Haha mine says the same thing!

dat - Posted - 10/15/2012:  12:58:26

our dogs have always ate as much as they wanted, we keep the food bowl out year round, so far we have never had any trouble with getting a fat dog, they'll quit eating when they are full if they know it's always there

Alaina - Posted - 10/15/2012:  13:16:17

I have an underweight basset hound...

dat - Posted - 10/15/2012:  13:28:52

probably has plenty of room to run, we had a basset that would stay on a rabbit trail and never got fat, she was in good shape though

Alaina - Posted - 10/15/2012:  13:32:11

He actually couldn't care less about rabbits, but he loves chasing birds and ducks when they fly at his eye level haha

DeanT - Posted - 10/15/2012:  14:27:41

Our male greyhound would explode if tried free-feeding

Alaina - Posted - 10/15/2012:  14:30:57

I used to have an English Mastiff and he would do the same thing. Except with broccoli... He would eat just about anything unless it was broccoli

DeanT - Posted - 10/15/2012:  17:23:44

One of our females is that way with peas. She hates them. I can put a hand full of peas in her supper, and she will empty her bowl... and all the peas will still be in the bottom.

mbanjo - Posted - 10/16/2012:  01:03:53

My dog sometimes eats all the peas and leaves the rest till later

OM45GE - Posted - 10/16/2012:  03:38:36

Most of the time Toby "scoops" his food. He uses his paw to scoop the food out of the dish and eats it one kibble at a time off the floor. When enough food is gone that he can get one at a time out of the bowl, he stops scooping.

flake - Posted - 10/16/2012:  06:53:37

I'm back!!!!!



Don't everyone get all excited at one time.

And more new people too... this thread is rocking

OM45GE - Posted - 10/16/2012:  18:59:43

The ground is rocking too, there was an earthquake in Maine that they felt back home. I'm in New Jersey on business and they said the house shook for about 10 seconds. They said it sounded like a low flying helicopter.

DeanT - Posted - 10/16/2012:  19:20:51

My Wife is from Maine... they felt it in Kennebunk for sure

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2012:  03:13:51

Has your wife been following the news about the Zumba prostitution ring?

DeanT - Posted - 10/17/2012:  07:41:20

Yes she has, with a lot of laughs

Alaina - Posted - 10/17/2012:  08:04:09

I heard about it too!

DeanT - Posted - 10/17/2012:  08:09:48

I wonder when the new Zumba video and infomercial will come out?

Alaina - Posted - 10/17/2012:  08:10:48

I wonder what will happen to all the men whose names were released!

DeanT - Posted - 10/17/2012:  12:36:04

why are all the local lawyers smiling?

dat - Posted - 10/17/2012:  12:47:56

if it wasn't for lawyers , you wouldn't need any lawyers.

but from the other,  you can't blame the women, who knows why or what situations made them go into that profession

Alaina - Posted - 10/17/2012:  13:01:11

It all depends on the circumstances I guess

dat - Posted - 10/17/2012:  13:23:40

I figure that too, they could have had hard times/ lost a job/ divorce/  death of a provider in the family/ who knows, it could be something that got them or kept them off the streets,  hopefully they find something to get them in a different job though, if the men didn't do the  shopping the women wouldn't be there.   it's a bad situation/ job  that I hope they all can get out of
