    Unoffocial results just posted... Tessie (dark dog in signature line) is #16 and Sailor (happy Lab) is #32 in the US/Canada in agility (the venue we compete in) for 2010. :D

    Imagine how well they would do if they had a competent handler!

    Sweet Pea, the coonhound and reluctant participant, didn't even make the top 200 as 105 points for the year aren't enough to make any of the "good" lists. But she'd be Top 50 if the list was the Dogs Most Amusing To Watch.

    Hey does anyone know, when your dog's poppin pills, can they chew them? or do they have to swallow them whole?

    We're trying Sammi on some antibiotics to treat what the vet thinks is a UTI... I thought the best thing to do was entice her by pretending the pill is mine and that I really want to eat it - something that ALWAYS gets her attention. Then when i let her sniff it.... she ate it! Thing must taste good!

    But then i was like, oh damn, maybe i'm supposed to make her swallow it whole... :?

    I wrap it in some chicken or cheese that they can swallow whole or place it in the back of their throat and hold their mouth closed and tip their snout up until they swallow. Bubba's easy she eats cheese like a duck! :lol:

    Are they tablets or capsules? Some veterinary medications come in chewable tabs that dogs will like. Your might want to call the vet and ask if it's OK for her to chew them.

    Both my dogs take pills twice a day and for many years our dog Pete took meds for epilepsy. I used to use cheese or peanut butter but then the dogs would go crazy whenever we got those things out for us to eat. I don't like being pestered like that so I started using these: http://www.greenies.com/en_US/Products/DogPillPockets.aspx My dogs go crazy for them! They get their "treat" twice a day, then when I put the bag away they go about their business. You can get them at PetsMart or any feed store, maybe even at the vet's. They may seem pricey but I break them in half and wrap up the pill. Works great. Also, they have a new allergy-formula flavor that I don't recommend. The dogs liked it just fine but the smell was so disgusting that I couldn't stand to handle it.

    hell, when gracie was taking 9 pills a day, I was tearing pill pockets into thirds! :lol:
    the manufacturer just wants you to use the whole thing. they work great!

    Most capsules are to be taken whole (antibiotics are pretty bitter tasting). Some tablets can be broken down/crushed into food. Peanut butter works if your dog likes it...they can't spit the pill out as easily :lol:
    (I worked as a vet assistant/pharmacy buyer for 5 years) Good Luck! :)
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    What kind of booties did you get her? Ive seen a bunch around, bought some once that didnt stay on for more than two steps, and threw them out. My little dude could really use some right now - landlord dumping buckets of rock salt on top of all the snow/ice, Bugsy's little feet get frozen and he tries to stand on only one leg, rotating which two he holds up from the ground....Im also wondering if its worth the time it takes to put them on...especially for the outside trip in the morning before rushing off to work.
    we got these:

    I think sizing is the whole key. gracie has M's on the back and M/L's on the front. The M/L's are a tad too big but the M's won't fit :roll: . we tried muttluks, too. they were worthless. gracie threw all four in like 2 minutes :lolno: . REI sells rufftex (or something like that)...they look real cool but I hear they don't stay on.

    Just be very carefull, the sticks can be splintered and either puncture the esophegous (?) on the way back up, or the intestines on the way out..Other than that stick chewing is very normal. And definately better the sticks than your furniture!! LOL Anyhow I'm enjoying all the doggie pics and getting to hear all the stories of doggies enjoying their humans' company. Still Here what a cute video of Hankie. He looks like he was such a cool dog! Man now I NEED to get another dog..ok everyone and their doggies have a good day.
