Thanks for the tip Junkman. I'll keep that in mind the next time my pup gets hold of my boxers. I keep them in the hamper but she pulls them through the holes in the sides.

Michael - Those Berners are great looking. They must have something about socks, dish rags, nylons, and black walnuts...... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. My Moms have been thru them all /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. The black walnut incident required surgery but everything is fine now. Again great pic. Chuck

My vet told me that those little Super Balls that used to be so popular were the worst. He said they were small enough for a dog to swallow easily but just large enough to get stuck trying to pass out of the stomach. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I noticed you like to name your dogs after explosive weapons. Pyromaniac? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Good looking group of pooches you have. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Got Milk? My daughter brought this kitten home 2 weeks ago. She found it on the highway. The kitten may have been 4 weeks old and very dehydrated. We fed it with a syringe and a dropper. I named it Tobe, thinking to be or not to be; I wasn't sure if it would survive or not. He is doing fine now and eating by himself out of a bowl. I now have 3 labs, 3 cats, 4 peafowl,4 guineas, and other critters running around. I have my labs posted in the photos section.

To All; This past weekend, [upnorth ofcourse], I thought I was going to have to put down my Malamute, Una. She was drinking massive amounts of water and passing huge puddles. She looked like death warmed over. We usually have her with us up there, but this time it was a neccesity. She had been going downhill for a week or so. We had been giving her glucosamine for her arthritis for about a month.

Luckily my wife, who is the smart RN she is, thought about any changes we had made in her diet etc. It dawned on us the glucosamine. We quit giving her the glucosamine immediatley on Saturday morning. Now it's Tuesday evening and luckily she appears back to normal.

I mentioned where we were because with no available vet around, it was going to have to be me to put her down. I'm 53 years old and was in tears. She is just a great dog to have with you. I'm sure glad the RN in the family was there.

The point of this is, maybe you guys should beware of glucosamine also. You don't want to feel like I was this weekend.
