"When the teething was bad I put some of the dogs chew toys in the freezer and then gave them to the dogs to chew on. I also gave them crushed ice and frozen green beans for treats! I also put Peanut butter in the kong and then froze it and used it…"

"I have always read that do not walk your dog when it above 80 degrees. In the summer we take early morning walks and larte evening walks. It takes awhile for dogs to adjust to the warmer tempts. We have had a rather strange spring this year. We have…"

"She will be sleeping through the nite before you know it! You are off to a good start!"

"I think he looks mighty fine. My dogs got their summer cut this week. I wanted mine that short. It is just easier in the summer. They are outside so much! U still need to brush or comb them with their hair!"

"RB I fed twice a day and she did ok. With Loo, the Vet pushed for 3 times a day for the first 6 months. She was much happier so I would feed her 3 times a day, if it works with your schedule."

"When we brought our first dog home, it took about a week before she settled down and slept thru the nite. Putting a crate in the bedroom helped--lots! When we brought Loo home 7 months later we put her crate next to RB's and I was waiting for a…"

"Happy to hear things are already better! They will be sleeping thru the night before u known it! Enjoy!"

"Good advice from Lucy and AnnaBella's mom! Hang in there, hopefully it will get better!"

"LOL!"

"Barb, Loo is almost 18 months. She lost her first coat between 10 and 11 months. She was over that at about 13 months. She went from a black lab, the color of her mom, to a dark blackish chocolate brown, the color of her dad. She does not shed.…"

"Barb, I gave Loo a bath and combed her out last week. No problems. I am getting her groomed tomorrow so I thought I would comb her to make it easier on Loo and the groomer tomorrow. I can hardly believe all the hair that I got off of her. It was…"

"Janice, my doodle is 17 months and I have had no trouble with mats. This winter I kept her hair around 4 inches and she is going in for her summer cut this week. I comb her once a week and bathe her when she needs it. Her hair is thick and curly. I…"
