Wow, I didn't even think about the wear and tear to the dog's nails and paws. That surprises me, because I usually think about that type of thing right off, so yeah, wow. That's yet another reason why I don't like this type of thing. I think I tend to see it more during the summer than in other...

@ZITA @SpanielsRule Yes, you're right, taking the dog to the vet should be the first step. And it might be mine, but I have to admit that if the dog is super tiny, and well-behaved, I'm going to probably keep the dog for a couple of days before I diligently full-on look for a possible owner...

I have to admit, I think I would keep it, especially if it was a little, tiny dog. Although accidents happen and nobody is perfect, I kind of feel like people should keep an eye on their dog, especially a little dog. I might look around to see if I see any 'lost dog' posters posted, or look...

Oh, okay:cry:. I'm glad you got another dog though. It seems like "our first" in almost anything good is always special to us. It was nice of your mother to take care of the other dogs that followed. Nothing like a mother's love, especially when it's done right.

Resolve carpet and stain cleaner is something that works really, really well. Other things might work better, I don't know, but Resolve has always been my go-to. There are several different Resolve products, so you'll probably be able to find one you like and that suits your needs. No steam...

That's a really sad story. Sorry you had to go through that at such a young age.:( Did you get any dogs after that when you were still a kid? I didn't have any dogs growing up because before I was born my mom had a Boxer, I think his name was Prince, if I'm remembering right. At any rate, she...

Oh how cute, I love that name. And... you learn something new everyday, I didn't know until just now that there is a "g" in Pekingese! I had to Google it to be sure if the name you wrote here is the same type of dog that I had in mind, and it is.

I think if the concern is the dog's food being responsible for an ear infection, the only way to tell would be to have frequent trips to the veterinarian, like say once a month while only feeding the dog one type of food. If over time the dog's ears continue to be fine when feeding it a certain...

And what kind of dog was he or she, and what color was it/were they? My first dog was a black German Shepherd named "Bo". He was a great dog, very protective and very loyal.:)

Growing up I had my share of pets, but no dogs. When I moved out of my parents' house, that was when the dogs came along. A dog was the first pet that I got as an adult:)... I added other kinds of pets later. What a blessing to grow up with dogs and an acre of land to keep them on, and what a...

Dogs are really good pets, and sometimes that can cause people to want to have more than one dog, or maybe they have more than one dog because they think one dog would be lonely by itself. How many dogs have you had at one time? The most I've had at once is seven, because of a litter of puppies...

Yes, I think that's the way to go, thinking of how the dog feels. I've seen people put dogs in all sorts of outfits that look to me like they are really restrictive to the dog's movement. I've also seen people put 'shoes' on their dog's feet. I can sort of understand the shoes if the owner is...

There are so many cute outfits these days in pet stores for dogs, and I'll admit some of the dogs look cute all dressed up, but I think that a dog should only be in clothes for a very short time. like long enough to get their picture taken. Do you think doggie clothes are a hinderance to a dog's...

I think the doggie treats are a great idea. Maybe as time goes on she won't be afraid of the vacuum anymore because you said at first she wasn't afraid of it. Maybe she can go back to that? Since dogs have sensitive ears, maybe that one close run in with the vacuum was something that really did...

I think that simple obedience training isn't unreasonable when a puppy is about 6 weeks old. It seems to me that waiting until a dog is 6 months old is quite a long time to wait, but maybe the key here is the word formal. Perhaps it is a good thing to wait until the puppy is older to start any...
