We lost Pepper in 2019, after losing Chilli in 2012. Almost a year to the day we lost Pepper, we picked up 3 boys in need of a new home. We have had them 1.5 years now. The twins Chip and Dale are standards and just over 2. Gordon will be 3 in August and he is a mosaic. I will get pictures in a...

My sweet Pepper stopped eating his pellets 2 nights ago. He is taking CC, and oats and a shredded wheat. Our vet isn't in until Tuesday, so I can keep up the feeding until then, but then what? Our car needs work, the motorcycle that is hubby's transportation just died and needs a part, the van...

We had a portrait of our dogs done and we chose a picture of our German Shepherd Dog Chloe for a photo contest. If you could go on the website, look for her (she is the only shep) and where it says how many comments she has, click on that. Leave a comment as you vote. We would really appreciate...

I saw you at Petsmart, had never seen a chinchilla before. Your sweet face just stole my heart. Part cherub, part imp. You were such a little thief! I had to watch you like a hawk the first few months at play time before we built your playpen. My wood cats will never be the same and the little...

Posting in hopes someone can help. Need a home for a boxer. My sister is rehoming or putting her dog down. He raised his hackles at a child yesterday. My gut tells me PTS may be the better situation, they have no money to provide training and work with a behaviorist. He has neurotic behavioral...

I may be fostering 2 standard males by this weekend. They are with a temporary foster who is ready to send them on to me. The owner has expressed a desire to sell these boys with their cage rather than give them away for free. The cage is a nice metal one, best match I could find online is a...

Thought maybe we could start a thread with everyone's best hand feeding tips. I for one was unable to get my boy burritoed well enough to restrain him that way. I put a pillow on my desk, put a small hand towel around his shoulders and grasped it under his neck (like a cape, I guess), and held...

Hi, I am starting a build project and I like the idea of using tile on the shelves so I don't have to be sanding down shelves all the time. My boys pee when and where they like. My question is this- how would I seal the spaces between the tiles and also between the tile and wall of the cage? And...

Who is the member that lives in the San Jose, CA area and is involved or was involved with CA Chins and does rescue? Question #2, what size needle do you use to give sub Q fluids for chins? Background is that we just put our 15 year old kitty to sleep yesterday, we have a bunch of needles that...

Just thought I would post an update on my Chilli. I was reading all the other recent posts about malo and was thanking my lucky stars that I still have my baby boy. It has been 2 years now since his diagnosis of Malo. At first I was very emotionally stressed if I was doing the right thing for...

I got hit on Wednesday night. I was making a left turn across traffic and guess I didn't see the car. I really don't know- I remember the impact, but don't remember about 30 seconds before the impact. Anyway, the ER dr. only gave me 4 days off work, that is up tomorrow. I am still in a crapload...

Our German Shepherd is home from rehab. She still has a ways o go, but now we have a chance to have a better handle on her behavior. She has proven that with guidance, she can get along with other dogs, that she has learned they are not all an immediate threat. She does still harbor an intense...

http://monterey.craigslist.org/pet/2109882050.html I know there are several rat lovers on the board, help is needed.

ok, it was more like 3am. I had trouble falling asleep last night. I was in bed, trying to fall asleep and I was hearing these noises. It sounded like the cat was in the closet, but we were calling her and she was not talking back- if you have ever had a siamese, you know that is unusual. Then...

I don't post here much, but I did post about the GSD we rescued at the end of June. After having her evaluated by two very experienced trainers, we have an appointment monday to have her put to sleep. It has me turned in knots to make this decision, but I know it is the only safe one, because at...

A while ago I posted that my malo chin was dropping weight despite feeding over 100 mls of cc/day. I am happy to report that since we had his teeth done 1 month ago, he has put on 80 grams all on his own. I am just happy and amazed at how well he's doing!

Bent down to release the catch on the gate at the top of the stairs and Chloe the shepherd jumped and slammed her nose right into my eyeball. It felt like my eyelid was paralyzed at first, and then it started twitching. It has been 2 hours and it still feels weird. But mostly it hurts. Should I...

I was all happy, thinking Chilli was doing great- he has had a huge appetite increase- before we would feed 2 tsp dry food mix at each feeding. 4 weeks ago, we upped it to 3 tsp dry twice a day, so from 4 tsp to 6 tsp total, then we increased to 4 tsp each feeding, so 8/ day. Last week, we added...

Our favorite topic on this forum- POOP We are picking our new dog up from the shelter tomorrow. As we were hanging out with her in play yard at the shelter yesterday we noticed she was really straining to get that last bit of poop out. She got most of it out fine, but then she kept circling...

Just had to vent. It sucks to not be able to do anything for yourself. this is the 3rd night in a row that dinner will be after 9pm. Hubby is starting to get frustrated with the cooking and cleaning up every night, and getting me lunch too. Usually I get myself yogurt and toast for breakfast. I...
