Advice needed: re dogs peeing in your yard
Comments (7)You'd think people young or old would be more considerate when walking their dogs, some are and they are to be comended but not very many. We live right across the road from a lovely little nature park. We have a bylaw that all dogs must be on a leash, you must pick up after your dog and certain breeds must wear muzzles HA!!! For starters, we have a woman that drives down to the entrance of the park, walks her dog back up the side of the road to do it's business, no problem, she bags it, no problem. Then.... she flings it in the bushes rather than walking back to her car only a few feet away where she could deposit her baggie in the garbage can provided for such things. Hubby went out finally and had a few words with her, didn't work, she still does the same ol, same ol and has told people my DH is just a mean old man LOL. Ianna, hopefully you can find a product that will work, these kind of people will never change, but I'd bet my bottom dollar if someone was continually walking by their homes and defiling their property they'd be singing a different tune.

Comments (14)I had Amos groomed twice - once in Feb. and had a Puppy cut done on him. It helped, then again in April we had him just about skinned down. He looked so funny and it wasn't until July that we started seeing and feeling mats. We did okay on most areas until a couple weeks ago. I guess his hair is chainging texture too, seems all of a sudden with the swimming and not getting all the mats out before hand we really had a mess of knots, that just got bigger and bigger. The main area was around his neck. But even the shorter hair on his legs knotted up. We have almost all either combed out or cut out now and have cut his hair short on his legs and about an inch long every else. He has been so good to let us work on him. He will just lay there and put up with the combing and the cutting. I just don't want to have him go through that mess again. We bath both doodles every week and it is usually the weekends that he swims. Our little girl doesn't mat. Her hair is more wiry and the only place I have found a mat I couldn't easily comb out was on her foot, where the hair is curly. The top of her head kinks up but it is easy to comb out. Poor Amos is curlier all over. Using the detangling tool seems to frizz the hair out so badly that we hate to use it, even though it works. The local pet shop said their other store may have some of the GLO COAT and if they do, they will bring it over for me. Another grooming shop said they use "THE STUFF" and it works as well as the GLO COAT. Thanks for the help. Will try the website if I can't get it locally....See MoreHydraulic grooming table advice
Comments (6)I have to agree with Lisa that the electric ones are better- I worked at a place that had one that lifted with a scissor lift type mechanism- it also went down to about 12" off the floor. I never had it tip, it was a pretty sturdy table. It also had built in lights under the table that would light up the work surface. The shop owner paid around $1500 for it- it's pretty pricey but worth every penny. I have used many hydraulic tables and the are only supported in the center by the lift- you get a heavy dog that is a jumper and it will tip. I've had jumpers that have caused the table to fall (I've ended up under the table a few times)- I really recommend a good sturdy one- if you can only afford the hydraulic for now- get your hubby to build something to keep it from tipping out on you....See MoreAdvice for traveling with a dog
Comments (89)It used to be that there were many states that would only allow prescriptions from prescribers who were licensed within the state in which the prescription was to be filled. Most of these states have removed this restriction, but possibly not all. But, prescriptions from an out of state prescriber for controlled substances are likely to be viewed with suspicion and so perhaps refused (whether written or called in). The solution, as stated by seagrass, is to take the original prescription to a pharmacy that has branches across the US. When you need a refill, it can be transferred from the original pharmacy to a different branch of that pharmacy, in the other state. It's never a bad idea to talk to the pharmacist at your local pharmacy about your travel plans before you go, just to make sure there won't be any problems....See More2rickies
