After a long fight with a URI & Pneumonia & tooth problems I had to make the difficult decision to let my sweet violet Jack cross the Rainbow Bridge. I rescued him 3 or 4 years ago and he was quickly one of my favorites. He had the cutest curly tail and was so sweet and handsome. I have owned...

Jack was diagnosed on Friday with a URI & also had his teeth filed. He is oin baytril, meta am, cisapride, gas drops, life line and I am trying to handfeed him. The reason I say trying is because he keeps gagging, almost choking while I'm feeding him. It's takes me over 30 minutes just to get a...

I am trying to get all my boys on 1 feed, so I am switching to oxbow. It seems it is the one food they all agree on. Right now I'm buying 50 lbs prsc, 30 lbs Mazuri & 10 lbs oxbow. Drs foster & smith have a 50lb bag that ships direct from oxbow for $79 with free shipping. Anyone know of a...

I am in search of the willow coins that are like the ones that PPBN sold. I know there are a few vendors that sell willow coins (actually i prepare my own) but i can not find any like the ones she sold. they had a nice thick soft bark on them and they are the only ones my dental chins loves...

The girl I am fostering is kinda evil. I have had her since the spring and have been trying to rehome her but no one wants to take her, even for free! Right from the start she lunged at me and makes this really strange sound every time I get close to her. I put my hand in her cage every night...
