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!!

UPDATE
Chloe Dancer has officially decided that she's going to live with her foster human's Grand daughter in TX. She'll be living in Houston, I've seen the house and yard and the little girl couldn't bear to go home without her. So we worked it out, that we did just as you said and ran her papers under the guise that she'd been a stray and we found her a home. She is currently at her normal 45 pounds, and when we'd first weighed her she was at 27 pounds. I was right about her age, she's approximately 1 1/2 yrs. She's so sweet and she LOVES the little girl she now belongs to. The girl's mother fell in love with her when she came to get her daughter ( the granddaughter, sorry but if you guys don't know theses people do names matter? If so tell me, but just a respect thing.) Anyhow, my friend showed me pics of their yard and made sure I myself had the address so I could check on her.. ANNNNND they're keeping the name Chloe Dancer, but the Mother calls her Dancer. It's so funny, the dog is just so ecstatic that her family grew so big! There's another little boy in Houston, so there's two kids to play with, and they've already bought her new stuff, and made sure to check with ME on dog food.. was so funny.Anyhow, Chloe Dancer goes to her new home tomorrow, well in KC time today at 8 am, they're driving so she'll love it she loves car rides according to my friend who fostered her for me. Anyhow thanks for everyone's support on this.. it reminds me that htis is why we do what we do, this dog would have DIED!!!! Now she has two kids and a loving forever home! Crazy how that works.. ok and now a letter to my boys.. sorry I just miss them.

To my beloved doggies,
God it's so weird now that I'm completely alone, because a human is just not the same. It's not easy carryingon without seeing you guys' faces in the morning, when I get home, or I tell you we're camping this weekend. I think of all the things we did, we'd been so many places, done so many things together. You both taught me so much! Momo you taught me that patience is truely a virtue best learned in testing the very mettle of a human being. Ace, you taught me to take a second look, and see if my hatred was worth the time; to pick my battles. I miss you both so deeply. It's odd to know that I only have Winston to look after now. He's so independent, he's kind of like a cat, not like you guys who wanted constant instruction, a leader for you pack. Winston is great , I love him, but alas he's not mine, YOU guys were mine. You ARE the K9 Mafia, the whole reason this whole rescue thing got started!! How many other wolf-dogs help can domestic dogs recover from human stupidity? You two were truely amazing to knowand to share space with on this earth. I love and miss you both so much, I cried over you two as I cleaned rooms tonight. God Bless the santuary of a closed bathroom door, and a flushing toilet. I really want you two to get together and send me the next dog to be helped; and remember we each took turns saving each from my mother.. Send me the next dog needing our help, and say hi to Mom for me, tell her I forgive her, and that I skipp Daughter now days. I know you will tell her feeding is at 8 sharp 12n'12..(Momo).
I love you guys,
your human,

Tree

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.

Thanks! Now I'll just have to take some measurements...

I LOVE stories like this!
So glad your vigilantism paid off!!

whispering hands · January 2011

I'm so glad I didn't get CAUGHT!!! The neighbors still think their dog ran away, though they have gotten new dog. A puppy. Looks to be German Shephard and lab mix.. Let's see if I have to steal this one too. Wonder how many dogs I'm gonna have to steal from these fucks!! It really pisses me off that there's not stricter laws on whom may adopt or own a dog.. they are JUST like children, they require constant care and attention as well as schooling. As humans this falls on US to make sure this is fufilled. Again thanks for the support!! Like I said earlier, this is the first time I've ever done that. But after this whole ordeal, it may be far from the last time I ever do this. So I think I want to ask for a rescue dog for me B-day this year. how fitting that I would be given a life long friend and a dog would be given a new life for my birthday, couldn't think of a better present for me or the dog!! Hope that works out. Except it's a longways off, July, hope I can wait that long.

WH....good for you girl! I think you deserve your own dog too! Go for it, you won't be sorry.

Now I want to share something horrific with you all. This poor Dobe has been through hell. I wish there was a way to get to the prior owner and starve them.

That was hard to look at!!! :( :x

Ok i will make it a point to get those pictures of Trix up this weekend. It is the last ones that i took of her.

On a brighter note, i have found a rescue dalmation that i am thinking about adopting, i still need to get a hold of them and find out some more information. Also there is another one that i have not seen yet but playing tag with them about one here in Montana. She is, i believe 5 yrs old AKC in all. The only thing about her is that he might want to breed her at his dime. I still need to talk to him, but i really don't think i would want to do that. The good thing is that he is in Montana. I shall call him later tonight.

I finally installed the containment fence...on boxing day

only had it sitting there for about 3 months. Well I put the collar in Rufus, took him towards the gate and worked with him for about 5 mins so he knew where the allowed/disallowed zones were. Then I walked across the road and left the gate open, he walked into the disallowed area, it beeped at him and he stopped, he took a couple more steps and got more intense, the he stood still and he got a little buzz from it....and he ran to the house and laid on his bed!!!!

so a couple days later I was going out, I picked up the collar and he went and laid on his bed and looked at me with his depressed face :( I have put the collar on him 2 more times since then when I have just gone to visit the neighbours...and he hasn't even come near the fences or gates. I haven't put the collar on him all this week, and he still doesn't try to escape! YAy, no more houdini!

Now my neighbour on the top side, is borrowing the collar for his dog as he wants to keep him away from the fence that we share as thier side is just thick with mud from all the storms we have had. He has used it for 2 days now and he doesn't go near the fence.

Some people think they are cruel, but sometimes we have to resort to extreme measures to ensure our dogs are safe.

PJ_ROCKS · January 2011

Well not so good news on the rescue Dalmation that i was interested in. He has to stay where he is :(
Here is part of the reason that they told me.

"Unfortunately Bubba needs to stay here bec. he is a low uric acid dog from the back cross project and he is intact. We’d like to keep him intact and available for breeding because he hopefully will help produce dogs that won’t develop any bladder stones."

bummer, but i still need to contact the one in Montana. I will work on the pictures when i get done in here, then be back to post the pictures.

OMG what's wrong with its front leg??

There was a retriever that was severely emaciated last year at the BC SPCA
how could people do that?!?!?

PJ_ROCKS · January 2011

So here are the pictures that i have been talking about. As i look back at these i can see the pain in her eyes

You can tell she is favoring her right leg. Her heart shape spot, she was full of love and loved getting attention and lovin...

I had not noticed this, but she is sticking her tounge out at me. She was the best dog EVER

She was happy to go for a ride!!! This picture you can see the mass was really huge on her right leg.

Trix is also in the deep news letter, the one in 2006 i think. It is the one that you had to place the dogs with the owners.

The pain is deep, thought i could do this without crying. I was wrong

PEACE
