    Preparing willow sticks

    Hello again :) Does anyone know if the same steps apply to willow sticks as it does with apple sticks? trim, clean, boil (twice), and bake until snap ready? Thanks so much! and i suppose i should just ask for other wood as well!

    Preparing applewood sticks

    Hello:) I just received a large bag of applewood sticks freshly pruned from a pesticide-free tree. The lady gave me all the newer growth, most of it has flower buds popping up. After reading a handful of different blog posts, I just have a question. One person says do not use fresh branches that...

    Sick chin?

    Good morning:) well that was a long night 😪 The vet could not see anything swelling in Enzos stomach or throat, he was breathing normal. Given how much better he was than before we decided to take him home with some pain killers and Critical Care and monitor him closely. When we got home we...

    Sick chin?

    Thank you for the comments. Enzo is being looked at right now. We are waiting to see what the vet thinks. He was doing so much better but still looking uncomfortable often and making a little wheez cough every 5 mins or so. He would also get in a strange position that made me think discomfort in...

    The only signs now are a little cough every 5-7 mins. All other symptoms are gone.

    Sick chin?

    Hello, I heard a weird squeaking sound and came to check on my chins. It looked like Enzo was rubbing his mouth and he stuck his tongue out. He started drooling a yellowish substance and was gagging. He let me pick him up, which normally he wouldn't. I held him and then put him back down. He...

    Not eating hay

    Hello! This question has been on my mind lately. I read that chins can be picky with their pieces of hay and will leave them or toss them aside. So I've been discarding the piles on the floor and the remaining in their bowls every day or two. But it does seem like I toss out quite a bit. Is this...

    A whole new world :)

    My chins love the pumice stones! Most opinions i've read on the loofah are good, but I saw one person saying they shouldn't eat the loofah and i haven't bought one because of that. But i want to because it seems like an inexpensive treat. What have you heard about the loofah? (natural loofah, of...
