Re: Pet-Friendly RV Park in San Carlos

There are very few parks in Mexico that aren't pet friendly as long as you stay leashed and clean up after them. We travel with two large weimaraners. Thank you!!!164Views0likes0CommentsRe: Photo Thread - Post a Photo of Your Truck Camper Here
Here is our 2000 Arctic Fox 1150 that we brought home last Saturday. It needs some structural work which we will be starting in the next couple months and I will start a thread on. The new owners to our 5th wheel picked it up Wednesday and we picked up our "new" TC Saturday. We love it!471Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best Tie Out Suggestions

That's probably a good idea for all but the Rottweiler. ;) I mean, he's well-behaved but if he sees something that interests him we might all be going for a look...him, the chair and the person! I like your profile name...we have an embroidery business and we do a lot of dog stuff (SmileDog Embroidery) and make Doxie Mom hats and just did a jacket for our local animal shelter's annual event (although the person who donated the jacket wanted it to say Dachshund Mom). We had a designer in LA draw a bunch of dog designs for us and we went with the most popular breeds...Dachshund's being one of them. Great little doggies!1.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Duncan has bilateral luxated patellas
Aw darn it! I'm glad you're getting him the help he needs. He'll be good as new in no time. I have a friend who had a Golden that's ACL tore. The poor thing quit using that leg. She said, "It doesn't bother him. He just doesn't use it." What??? It bothers him a lot...that's why he doesn't use that leg! Bostons are notorious for luxating patellas too.259Views0likes0CommentsRe: Bad year ahead for Yosemite National Park

I heard that California has serious water problems. Here in southeast Wyoming we've had fire danger warnings the last couple of days. We've not had a winter this dry in the 22 or so years I've lived here. :(63Views0likes0CommentsBest Tie Out Suggestions
What is your favorite dog tie out? I hear the ones that screw into the ground pull out easily and the retractable ones stop retracting. Obviously we wouldn't leave them tied out unattended, but when we're sitting out it would be nice to have something that worked. And since we have 4 dogs any ideas for multiple dog tie outs are welcome. :) Thanks! Susan8.4KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Dog Terrified of Smoke Smell
campn4walleye wrote: What a bunch of cutie-patooties! Luckily for you, your TC door faces the back where you can position it facing the fire (safely away). He can see you and know that everything is okay. Duncan has separation anxiety a bit and is comforted by being able to see us. Hopefully that will help him as well. Possibly, just the smell of the smoke on you will get him used to it. After all, you did say you all sleep together. :) Thanks! Yeah, that might be good. Although if he can see us but can't be with us he has this really loud, high pitched bark...I guess since he can't hear himself he doesn't know his inside voice/bark. Ah yes, very true, although maybe if I smell like smoke he'll sleep somewhere else. As if! :)524Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dog Terrified of Smoke Smell

My wife and I have 4 Boston's, we did have 5 but lost our senior just over a month ago and it still hurts like yesterday. One of the posters above mentioned the thundershirt, I second that one 200%. Our youngest Boston is blind in one eye and he was a rescue from a raided puppy mill. He is deathly afraid of a thunderstorm and trust me he knows it's coming way before we do. I don't know what it is about him but he is better at forecasting a pending storm better than the local weather forecasters. Anyway thanks to the advice of several members of the form we purchased one. Truthfully I was skeptical about them working but when he starts going through his little routine that tells us a storm is coming out comes the thundershirt and he will sleep right through it and won't flinch. By the way, Thank You for adopting! Aren't Bostons just the best? The logo of our business, SmileDog Embroidery, is a Boston and it's named after our Digby who is almost always smiling. I guess I might have to give the Thunder Shirt another try. I hate puppy mills! I wonder what it is about puppy mill dogs that they are so afraid of thunder. Maybe their cages are outside and it's just scary. I mentioned to someone else that we had a rescue, Sheldon, who was a puppy mill dog for 8 long years. He was so afraid of thunderstorms, fireworks, loud noises on the TV, TV thunder. The Thunder Shirt just made him more hot and pant more. Poor little guy. :( I do see that they work for a lot of people!524Views0likes0Comments
