She's a shepard mix of some sort. She's built like a shepard, but her coloring is odd, caramel and red, she's gorgeous. Better pictures later!

Kitten in a bag is priceless!!!!

[the chi]

Thats so much Aw it hurts! They are adorable. What are you guys doing, running a kitty home?

[sherri_chickie]

The grey cat is Oscar, my big suck who now lives with mom and dad. I took him to the farm one day, Dad met us at the door, picked up the cat, said Hi Oscar and went to the living room with him without saying hi to us.. needless to say I did not get my cat back..lol

White dog is Eddie, my dog back in Texas, left him with a friend and his 3 kids who had lost his wife about the time Shon died. The kids needed him and he needed the kids.

We foster orphaned kitties for the local shelter, and then adopt them out.

Some times we keep one....or two.

Or six.

Help me, my baby sitter can't keep track.

[sherri_chickie]

Cats are awesome.. my parents are such softies that they heat up milk for their barn cats and feed them quite a bit of food along with it, but they still keep the barn clean of mice. They currently have a barn cat in the bathroom recouperating from a pretty bad beating.. He's so tame and sweet though, I really am seriously thinking of bringing him home.. He's got all the markings and attitude of a Siamese..

[the chi]

Here's a better pic of the new arrival. Meet Ella Fay. Now that we have her home, we are pretty sure there is no way in hell she's a shep mix. She has alot of the coloring of a chocolate dobie, and webbed huge feet like a lab. Not to mention, she really IS only 11 weeks old, and already over 20 pounds. My little princess just got her first pony! :lol:

Am I the only one who sees this going terribly if another dog catches his attention?

[Kaneman]

Am I the only one who sees this going terribly if another dog catches his attention?

He's very well trained and knows that when I put his harness on it is time to work and avoid all distractions. We've come across squirrels, rabbits, dogs, cats and just about everything else in the two years we've been doing this together without incident despite the fact that he was extremely aggressive when I got him and has a super-high prey drive. Sometimes he has the cart hooked up, sometimes its just me on rollerblades. He knows "leave it", "left", "right", "GO!", "MUSH!", "TROT!", and "WHOOOAAAA!!!"

He is the fastest/strongest dog I've ever been around and can outrun Greyhounds as long as they're not in peak training condition. He averages 20mph on runs over the course of a few miles and can hit higher speeds when excited. The worst thing that ever happened to us was we came over a hill once on some trails and at the bottom of the hill was a mud slick on the trail. Couldn't slow down in time and wiped out. Worst rash I've ever had, put me on a cane for two weeks. I was wearing thick Wrangler jeans at the time, so that gives you an idea how fast we were going...
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g8/PsychoMedic/photo7.jpg

I have another dog who's trained like this too, though her paws aren't as tough as his. I can hook them together for extended bicycle rides and never have to pedal. The basically race each other the whole time.
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g8/PsychoMedic/photo-2.jpg

This was our first try with the cart, before I realized how fast he could pull 300lbs...turned out to be too unstable so I modified a bicycle cart and mounted the wagon as a seat.

There's no doubt they're built for speed. Rosco spins 360's without losing a step when he's being chased.

He can also jump straight up into the box of a silverado from a standstill. I sometimes wonder if he's part deer..

HAHA! Firefly does that too when she is being chased. She has also jumped up in the air, done a 360 overtop of the dog chasing her, land behind the other dog and run the other way before the other dog even noticed she was gone.

The speed is awesome, but that agility is what blows me away. 90 degree turns at full speed...and you can almost hear him laughing at the other dogs trying to keep up.

I've been trying to pull a vid off of a broken phone. If I can you'll laugh your ass off. I could swear he IS laughing as he's running circles around me.

Today is my dog's birthday. He's 4 and still as crazy as ever.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2566/4206391562_0c3f45bb5d.jpg

[skiergirl]

tails are done a day or two after birth - his ears should be done now if we are going to and we choose not to. It's purely a cosmetic procedure and since he will not be a show dog nor breed there is no need to put him through it or deal with the hassle of taping them up. They look beautiful when they are done but we aren't going to ....

Our little guy Goji, hangin out.

[racedoll]

Max with his cast. He had knee surgery a week ago Thursday.
Wednesday he got it off and this Thursday he gets his stitches out (along with 2 broken teeth, which had just been clean 6 weeks ago). So his full name has been changed from Maxwell to Maximilian (as in "max-million") because he is my million dollar puppy dog.

Oh, this is knee surgery #2, the right leg was done last year around this time.

That looks like it sucks so bad but gosh darn if it wasn't so damn cute.

[Dave]

nah he usually rolls over to demand belly scritches. the big thing with max is hes a jumper (can hit window ledges at 6ft) and seems to understand how doors and drawers work. makes it a bit hard hiding stuff :lmao:

[racedoll]

That looks like it sucks so bad but gosh darn if it wasn't so damn cute.

He wasn't very happy when he first came home. Now he hates it because he has to wear the "lamp shade" so he doesn't lick at his stitches.

[marko138]

What happened to him?

[racedoll]

What happened to him?

He tore his ACL and meniscus in his right knee last year and all we know that he did was jump off the bed. I'm sure it was a combination of things though over the years. The vets say when one goes the other will to within 6 months to 1 year, which it did. It doesn't help that he is older, 11½ years old but it could happen to one much younger. It is not limited to one breed or another either.

Poor pup...sorry to hear.

We have a Shiba and have been told to expect this...

Slipped Stifles (patellar luxation)
The patella (kneecap) is a small bone which guards the knee joint. The patella sits in a grove in the femur, and is held in place by a combination of ligaments and muscles. This bone can slip out of position due to injury, poor alingment, weak ligaments, or insufficient grove in the femur. Generally the dog will limp, carry the leg off the ground, or hop when running. If the problem is severe it can necessitate surgery.
Patellar luxation can be either hereditary or due to injury.

[Dave]

Lotta pets named max on here :lol: last night he pulled a new one: went to put food in his bowl which is in the bedroom and as soon as he saw what I was doing he went and closed the door so the other cat, domino couldn't eat his food :lmao: love that little fucker

If it was any other cat, I would assume that she was plotting to kill me.

But, poor thing spent the day at the vet getting her summer haircut and since she is not too fond of strangers shaving her belly, she had to be sedated.

She is seriously scaring me today with this look. She's even scaring the other cat. I have never heard him hiss before, but he is so freaked out by her he's been hissing anytime she is near. :lol:

Her name is Fiona, unless the vet tells me she's a boy, was found Sunday the 6th under a bush on the side of the road during a massive thunderstorm, covered in dirt, mud, fleas and antbites. The folks that found her couldnt keep her, but once I saw her I couldnt resist. We think she's about a month old, FULL of personality, as you can see, even 60 pound Ella doesnt phase her. The dogs are both following her around the house "sitting" her, making sure her face is cleaned and she stays outta trouble. Demon (Delilah) our other cat is even being uncharacteristically less demonish than normal. Razor's hoping that since I have my own kitten, I'll dislike his less. :lol: We'll see.

And here's an almost complete family shot, Abby to the far left, Delilah on the pillow, Ella under my legs, and Fiona obviously playing with my camera strap.

Theres a great trick to stop that. Dont leave stuff within reach.

They also make a spray, called Bitter Apple, you can use it for puppies, kittens, ferrets, etc. on shoes, rugs, plants, pretty much everything. It tastes awful so they avoid mouthing it.

that is a kewl dawg. what breed is he?

She's a Jack Russell Terrier. Unfortunately, she's in poor shape. She's getting old and has thyroid problems, so most of her hair doesn't really grow any more, so we have to keep her shaved close or she looks like she has mange. Her eyesight and hearing are starting to go and her bladder control isn't what it used to be.

AKC JRT? or a mut? I am curious about the breed and want to get a dog and I am torn between an excellent kids dog such as the Golden retreiver and what I really like in the JRT, small, smart, and full of energy.

[the chi]

The JRT is not a great "family" dog. If you plan to have them around small children and other people not family they require extensive amounts of socialization. They typically bond to a single person, and even when well trained and socialized can be crotchety and aggressive towards other animals. They can also be very vocal. You couldnt go further from a Golden unless you got a hyena.

:lol: Dont get me wrong, they can be great lil dogs, but they require much work, training and socialization to ensure they dont randomly bite people or bark their heads off.

Edit to add: and they are extemely intelligent, to the extent of problem solving their way into trouble. I swear my lil guy would work out the master plan, make my big dogs do the grunt work, and they'd all escape from their kennel. The lab would hold the bottom of the gate up with her shoulder, the collie would use his nose to open the latch, and the jack would hit the fence till it opened. Kid you not.

Yeah I know its a stretch from the golden, but I love the little guys so full of personality and energy. something that would be good to get me off the couch or the computer and out for some exercise.
My kids are 5 and 11 and they have been around neighbor animals a lot like Gas' monstrosity of a mongrel, Brinks (conne corse, SP?). they know how to manage around animals that could be dangerous so I imagine if I got a JRT Pup he would bond ok to them. But, as it would be MY dog as long as he bonds well to me I would be happy.

[the chi]

:lol: Get a lab. Same personality, less risk of bites. Better for kids.

Honestly tho, if you want a smaller dog, do some research. There are tons of great dogs that arent as well known and are perfect for individuals and families alike.

My lil one is a Papillon, not real well known, but the males of the breed carry all the characteristics you are looking for without having to worry about aggressiveness. The females of the breed tend to bond more to one person, but are equally friendly.

Here's my girl: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n210/raerr/Abby/Picture0092-1.jpg

We have two JRTs and what you just described does not fit for either of them. Both are excellent with children; in fact, they absolutely love playing with the neighborhood kids and our friends' small children. They are friendly to 95% of the dogs they've encountered. Only one of them gets a little testy (the more intelligent one), just around certain dogs she doesn't seem to like, for whatever reason. They've never bitten anyone. While they will run and play for as long as we want them to (when it's time for that), they will also lay around and chill all day, if that's what we are doing. I can see where many JRTs may fall in line with what you posted, as I've met many of them.

They say dogs reflect their owner's personalities; I guess that's true. My wife and I are pretty easy going people and we both despise drama. Must be the same with babies, because our newborn is the calmest and most relaxed baby any of our friends, neighbors and family has seen. Unlike the high-maintenance newborn babies our friends have; sitting on the sideline and watching them, it's easy to see how they have made their children that way. OMG, she just let out a little noise - quick, shove a bottle in her mouth. Oh no, it's 11:45, time for his nap - he has to go down now, and we have to shut the blinds and turn down the noise. Have to sit the baby this certain way when she eats - the book says so. And so on, and so on, and so on. I dunno, I think I'm just rambling at this point, so I'll stop now.

I hear ya about the reflection of what the parents do for the kids. The dogs too. I have two kids that were pretty good as babes but as they get their own personality I am liking them less and less.

As for the dog.... I really like the short hair of the JRT and the small stature. I am not a big fan of the Marmaduke (Brinks{For Gas}Sized) dogs. And I like the fact that if I decide to have a lazy day, and I have many of those, then they are cool with that as well as the oh we gonna go run? lets do eet. attitudes.

any how I like the Papillon you have too Rae. Looks like a cool little doggie.

[the chi]

Lee, you are one lucky person to have "laid back" jacks, I am only pointing out that 98% of Jacks are NOT that way. Think major short man's disease. Mine was great until he saw a pitt bull, then he wanted to go all apeshit. As far as people went he was fine as well, but those traits are in the minority for most of the breed.

Thank you, she is. And perfect for those lazy days as well. She's a big dog when she needs to be, flushing quail and such with our mutt on our walks, but when momma wants to lay on the couch, she's prefectly content sleeping the day away.

Rocky at 10 weeks when we got him in March

and this weekend at 5 1/2 months all 57 lbs of Puppy...
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d174/skiergirl/362958aa.jpg

[Gas Man]

GREAT lookin dog!!

[CrazyKell]

Rocky looks awesome.

Thank god you didn't get his ears done!

[Gas Man]

Agreed kell. Same thing with my dog. Breeder was pissed that we didn't get his ears done. But for breed standard it's optional. And to date... his ears are the bestest thing in the world... it makes him so cuddly feeling when you pet him.

[z06boy]

I admit that I would have gotten the ears cropped but the pup looks just fine without it being done...cute dog.

[skiergirl]

Thanks, I had my last Doberman's done but we decided not to with Rocky and I'm glad. He looks great with them and it gives him a little more friendly look when people come up to meet him. Some don't even realize he's a Doberman until I tell them because he's very friendly, his little stubby tail's a wagging. I didn't see the need to make an 80+ lb dog look more aggressive..I do like the look of long cropped ears though

He's really turning into a great dog, if we can just get past the 'i have to put everything I can in my mouth and eat it' phase that is....haha

Yea I don't think they ever completely stop since that its how they figure out what things are. Sniff then taste but the random chewing on things like shoes or whatever you have left on the floor should being to stop in another month or two. Its better already the last month or two with his baby teeth falling out was the worst.

Taking Puggy to the dog park is useless. She uses that time to scavenge for cigarette butts. She pooped out 3 from the park from Friday.

I just pried my chapstick from her jaws 10 minutes ago.

At least your Pug isn't obsessed with cat poop like my friend's is. That dog is in the litter box eating shit every 5 mins

Oh gawd thats nasty. Every so often mine think its a good idea, however a good spanking and guilt session clears them of the need for at least a month or more. I HATE that.

[Tsunami]

EWWW, Puggy's not too much of a poop eater, though she has eaten some. I wouldn't even know where to find chicken poop!

[KSGregman]

My dog is a pile roller....he doesn't eat the nasty stuff....he flops in it and does a full body wiggle...we were out running in the country once and he discovered a fresh pile of deer shit and promptly body flopped into it...smeared it down his sides...all over his neck...it was even in his ears.

Nasty bastard...why do dogs do that?!

Oh...and don't get me started on the dumpster diving he used to do (before we got the trash cans with the foot opened, recessed lids) in a house I share with two girls. *puke puke puke*

My little princess like to find dead earth worms and frogs and roll in them, but not poop. It drives me insane tho, I swear she does it after being freshly bathed...

I may have new pics of a recent addition up today...

I think all dogs do that if you use perfumed shampoo. Ours did it until we changed shampoo brands. Now they just do the death roll on their bed after their bath.

yep mine slide all over our carpet trying to get rid of that "nasty" just cleaned smell. they have two favorite sleeping blankets that they roll around on as well. funny to watch them slide their face then their body around trying to get their smell back.

Oh is that what they are doing? Puggy runs around crazed and mashes her face and head into the carpet. I thought she was trying to dry her wrinkles or something but I wipe them down with a towel before I let her loose. I keep her out of my room or she does that on my bed and sheets.

She also goes nuts running around the room, in full tuck and in full pug speed and she tries to tear up the couch pillows.

[the chi]

Soooo, as I am sure most of you have gathered by now, I am a huge bleeding heart for hard cases and I LOVE animals.

Couple weeks ago the hubby and I were camping down in Ocala Natl Forest, an ATV weekend, and we found this guy, ribs all poking out, bald in places, hip bones ready to pop out of his skin, and me being me, I started feeding him, made a few calls, and ended up homing him with with some people we know. I just couldnt leave him out there starving to death.

He's a pretty interesting fellow, one helluva cooler thief (we thought he was a bear stealing into our cooler.) Very docile, at least he was when starving, trained and overall seems like a great dog. He didnt work out with the folks we homed him with, and since the hubby and I were both taken with him, he's back at our place.

We found his owner, she doesnt want him, lived not far from where he was starving to death, I'm sure theres more to the story, but this is apparently his third home, and we are hoping to keep him so long as he works out. Booger is about 75 pounds or so and gets to around 95 when well fed. This is him visiting me at the office yesterday. How can you resist this face?

I think after a little research, and I do mean little, that I want a blue heeler. Or an Australian herding dog. They are of medium size ranging from 40-55 #s, short hair, good with a family and good at defending the home. Plays well, with other animals that its familiar with and is very trainable. Usually attaches to one member of the family more than another but still is a good family dog. Needs at least 30 min a day of good solid exercise, which will help me get off my fat butt and lose some weight I have put on over the past 6 or so years from leaving the Army. Is ok with a basic yard as long as the previous situation is met satisfactorily. But is also ok with just loungin around the house too. I want a pooch bad. My family had a cat when I was a kid as my Pops always said, "Dogs are too much work, gotta walk em, gotta clean up their shit, and are always too needy." To which I would always reply, "but cats are just too damned moody, and if they don't want to get any attention then F you and leave me alone." My thoughts were they are too much like women. Don't get me wrong some cats are very cool, have great personalities and make cool pets for those that are very independant themselves. Thats not me, I love the thought that if I need some my pet to give companionship, I can call on it to come and just be there layin with me to chill or go out for some play time or whatever.
Dog seems to be the only pet that I would ever need.
If there is anyone out there that has had a Heeler and think I am off base or don't know what the hell I may be getting myself into, please, by all means, help wake me up.

[the chi]

:dthumb: Heelers are awesome, and very intelligent. You can train them to do just about anything. Thats pretty much the only dog any of my family owns except me. Red ones are gorgeous but rare.

If possible, check the parents out, sometimes they can be a little odd in the head. Some friends have one that stares at the wall all day and attacks shadows, aunt had one that would randomly attack tires (bicycles with children attached, trailer tires, truck tires, etc.) But thats not limited to heelers.

[LeeNetworX]

Nasty bastard...why do dogs do that?!



Learned it from watching you? :lol

[KSGregman]

I have a blue heeler/aussie cattle dog mutt....he's a great dog....I rescued him from the Humane Society when he was maybe 4 months old? He's smart...and playful...good with people...just a great friend.

[caveman]

Right, I don't need one that is AKC certified stupid. I don't care if there is some mutt mix in there. I don't need to say, "look at my dog, I spent $1200on him and he's dumb as a board." I like the mutts more as they usually have a lot more personallity than a postage stamp like some show dogs that I have seen.

You sound about like me. Last fall we rescued those 2 pups that had been dumped while camping. Then the end of May I was out running one morning and came home to a dog in my yard. We kept him for 2 weeks tryign to locate the his owner, finally did. Fortunately it was a happier story than yours with the owner wanted him back and that it was an accident he got out of his cage. I'm a sucker for helping animals like this but can never keep them because of my mean old Max. He is one grouchy dog.

[Dave]

Tempting but no, we're looking for an apbt. Met this really sweet 4 year old female last night but we decided to keep looking around and see what's out there

[z06boy]

Speaking of "rolling around in stuff"...several years ago I had an Alaskan Malamute and we were visiting some people that lived near a river and were out hiking around and checking the place out. I saw Ninja...yes his name was Ninja rolling around in something...thought it was just grass but upon closer inspection saw that it was a dead fish !! :wtfru: :rofl:

Yes that was fun trying to get out of all of that fur. :lol

They are of medium size ranging from 40-55 #s, short hair, good with a family and good at defending the home. Plays well, with other animals that its familiar with and is very trainable. Usually attaches to one member of the family more than another but still is a good family dog. Needs at least 30 min a day of good solid exercise, which will help me get off my fat butt and lose some weight I have put on over the past 6 or so years from leaving the Army. Is ok with a basic yard as long as the previous situation is met satisfactorily. But is also ok with just loungin around the house too. I want a pooch bad. My family had a cat when I was a kid as my Pops always said, "Dogs are too much work, gotta walk em, gotta clean up their shit, and are always too needy." To which I would always reply, "but cats are just too damned moody, and if they don't want to get any attention then F you and leave me alone." My thoughts were they are too much like women. Don't get me wrong some cats are very cool, have great personalities and make cool pets for those that are very independant themselves. Thats not me, I love the thought that if I need some my pet to give companionship, I can call on it to come and just be there layin with me to chill or go out for some play time or whatever.
Dog seems to be the only pet that I would ever need.
If there is anyone out there that has had a Heeler and think I am off base or don't know what the hell I may be getting myself into, please, by all means, help wake me up.

No experience with Australian Cattle Dogs, but we had a LOT of Australian Shepherds growing up. Great with the family kids, and excellent guard dogs. If the master is around, they are good with other kids/people as well. If the master is not around, the protectiveness kicks in. They are also always watching their master for if he/she needs help. I can remember one of them "confronting" my cousin when we were wrestling in the grass at the farm. It was interesting, but he backed down when I told him it was ok... Still kept a close eye on me from not too far away :dthumb: Long hair though, so that's prob a downer for you.

As for the Blue Healers, we had a couple when I was younger. They were really good at first, but as they got older (6-7 yrs old) they started turning into Marko. :lol: Not really mean or anything, just anti-social. They would always be off by themselves, and never really wanted to play with us kids. They did still work for my parents though, when needed. Also excellent guard dogs, they were supper protective of the farm and everything in it.

Hope that helps, kinda limited experience, but it's what I know.

Just learned the other day that Australian Sheperds are actually completely American Breed Dogs. Interesting.

There are blue and red heelers on the Petfinder.com website near Detroit if you are interested.

[HurricaneHeather]

I just adopted another cat. Skin and bones. Sweet little thing though.

I want to cuddle with the furry kitteh! So friggin cute.

[Tmall]

Wow I'm lucky. If one of my dogs so much as steps in poo, they won't even come in the house. They'll sit at the door and look aggitated until I clean em up.

The "puppy" loves stinky mud though. He runs right to it anytime we're around some. And he used to eat cat shit, until I started smelling his mouth randomly and giving him a dollup of toothpaste every time I smelled poo on his breath.

Per the AKC.

A Look Back
There are many theories about the origin of the Australian Shepherd. Despite its misleading name, the breed as we know it today probably developed in the Pyrenees Mountains somewhere between Spain and France. It was called the Australian Shepherd because of its association with Basque shepherds who came to America from Australia in the 1800s. The Australian Shepherd was initially called by many names, including Spanish Shepherd, Pastor Dog, Bob-Tail, Blue Heeler, New Mexican Shepherd, and California Shepherd.

[HokieDNA01]

Per the AKC.


Weird cause this is a AKC website has a similar (almost identical) paragraph to yours, but it says the current form was developed exclusively in the United States.

"Although there are many theories about the origin of the Australian Shepherd, the breed as we know it today developed exclusively in the United States. It probably originated in the Basque region of the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain and France, but was dubbed the Australian Shepherd because of its association with Basque shepherds who came to the United States from Australia in the 1800's."

"The United States Australian Shepherd Association works hard to maintain the breed true to type in its land of origin."

This is him visiting me at the office yesterday. How can you resist this face?


Awww... what a great looking guy.
Thanks for giving him a good home. :dthumb:





If possible, check the parents out, sometimes they can be a little odd in the head. Some friends have one that stares at the wall all day and attacks shadows, aunt had one that would randomly attack tires (bicycles with children attached, trailer tires, truck tires, etc.) But thats not limited to heelers.


Yeeeah, there's one in my apt complex that goes apeshit at the sight of other dogs. The owners try to manage him, but he is just VERY... I dunno if you'd call it "dog aggressive" or just badly socialized. Whatever it is, I try to give them a wide berth when his owners are walking him. Lilly either doesn't interpret his signals correctly or is just being stubborn and wants to go see what the hell his problem is. :lol:

Shitty owners like that piss me off! They're always like, "Oh I wish I had a dog that behaved like yours".. And all I can think is, "I bet your dog wishes it had a better owner.."

And then there are the "Oh he never does that!" owners. Really lady? Because this is the third time your dog has lunged at mine. Your memory must match your training ability..

Well, I won't sit here and play like mine is the very model of doggy discipline.
She's very energetic and wants to go check out other dogs whenever they're around.
Well intentioned, but I can certainly see where her enthusiasm might be mistaken.
The offending blue heeler I was mentioning, however, never gave her the chance to make the wrong impression. :idk:

Oh gawd. Can anyone assist with digging? Or um, throwing oneself at doors and windows?

Was cleaning the garage earlier, and lo and behold, the rescue comes trotting around the the house. He had just finished digging and utilizing the most recent mariana trench under my fence. Tied him up in the garage and let all 3 play while I cleaned the garage, brought them back out to play while I picked up the house and within 5 minutes he was digging a hole on the OTHER side the house, under the fence.

Now, it's bedtime, according to his owner he was an outside dog, but he periodically throws himself at the back door and starts scratching. Or at the window next to the bed.

I put his new rabies tag on him in case he gets out, again, like he did last night, our fault, and I have him tied by the collar on a long rope where he can reach the porch, but not the fence. Have I mentioned how much I HATE tying a dog up?

Any ideas?

Casper used to dig a lot. The only thing we could really do was fill the holes back up to have him dig them up right behind us. There were a couple areas by the fence we threw some potted plants by to discourage him. It's been scorching out recently so I'm unsure if he would still dig if he had the opportunity, but so far he hasn't been. At one point it got so bad that we were going to dig in some chicken wire to make sure he wouldn't escape.

[Gas Man]

Dogs dig for only a few reasons.

Bordem
Smells
To make a cooler (temp) bed to lay.

[wildchild]

our little poodle used to dig, A LOT, as in all you'd see would be her butt sticking out of the hole and flying dirt. she just got tired of it or being scolded I guess because she quit after a couple weeks.

I knew a lady who would fill the hole with water and dunk her dogs head in it. I don't have the heart to do that to one of my dogs. she claimed it worked. I would consider squirting him with water if you catch him in the act. although some dogs like that. LOL

not all dogs jumping around like idiots is bad training, my dog sees other people maybe twice a year and other dogs about the same. she goes ape shit when it happens. not aggresive but going crazy. is it training? I don't know the other day she was chasing a cat and immediately dropped chase and came to my side when I called her. I'd say her training is pretty good. you can't remove all traces of "animal" from an animal.

boxers are known for being very hyper. she lives up to her calling.

as for the blue heeler, do you have lots of running room for him? I've also heard they're prone to run off if not preoperly fenced or tied. it's the hunting instinct. critter runs by and the chase is on.

I have two boxers and neither jump on people or are too rough with other dogs. Proper socializing takes care of them jumping up on people. You said it best, they don't see people or other pets often, so they just get over excited.

We bring ours to the park several times a week. They're to the point that they just walk away from aggressive dogs. It's actually funny, the other dog will be snarling and lunging, my two don't even acknowledge it being alive.

[Amber Lamps]

I had a Australian shepherd /border collie mix that could do your taxes. Very smart. Loyal, loving, protective of my gf, does whatever you want it to. Learns new tricks amazingly well and even picks up on things on it's own. Lots of energy.

Gas hit is with why he is digging, I think.

Window throwing - watch out, reminds me of my sister's boxer that jumped through a window while she wasn't home. I think it was separation anxiety on why the dog did it.

[the chi]

Thanks guys, I think your right on the seperation issue. Apparently he is REALLY attached to me. When I go in after being outside with him he just stands and stares at the door for several minutes, and if he hears any movement in the house, that prompts him to stand, stare and hit the door.

We rent, so I cant really afford to make any major changes to the house or yard for him. I tied him last night before bed, the hubby untied him when he got home and we had no issues until this morning. I let the girls out to potty and play, and he dug a hole under a DIFFERENT fence while they were out. The digging seems to be an issue only when the other dogs are out with him. :scratch:

You can find the Shepherds in that coloration as well. it's called Blue Merle. Looks a bit different as they have long hair, but still cool. Our last one was that color.

To keep my pup from digging, I put an electric wire around the bottom of the kennel about 6" off the ground. She got bit by it prob 3 times, and now she jumps when her tail so much as brushes the wire, even with it off.
She did dig a little in the middle of her kennel while I was deployed and the gf didn't have as much time to spend with her as she should have, but that has stopped now that I'm home again.
The electric fence would at least keep him in. :idk:

This is the fencer I have.

So how exactly do you get your dog to stop irritating the cat?

For 4 months, our 6mo dobey is nonstop harassment machine to our furball who keeps to her cat tree and other high altitude hangouts.

We keep him separate during the day, and the cat is left out of the room, but once all the doors and crates are open - it's game time. He'll leave her alone if shes not walking on the ground or within mouth range but that's not the story when she tries moving from one spot to another.

[Cutty72]

Yell at/discipline your dog in whatever manner you normally do. He may go after the cat at first, but a quick command from you should keep him from harassing the cat. That worked for me anyway. :idk:

first pic is Slash, American Bulldog. he goes nuts whenever we do yard work. i don't know if he thinks he's helping or what, but he loves sticks/branches/bushes/anything at all.

3rd pic is Piglet, Boston Terrier. he makes the most ridiculously cute faces. i swear sometimes he knows he's posing for the camera. anything Slash has, he wants. it could be a lump of diarrhea; if it's got Slash's interest, he's all over it. they're great together.

[wildchild]

well i'll have to get pics later but apparently i have a new pet. went to let the chickens out this morning and there was a female peacock on top of their fencing. she's been here all day and has alerady moved into the coop and made a couple friends.

asked a few neighbors and no one claims to have lost one. guess she'll be here for awhile. set her up a "private" coop so she won't have to sleep with the chickens if she doesn't want to.

This one doesn't have a name...just hangs around in the bushes and yard. There are a couple of them so I'm not sure which 'one' this is. :lol:

I'm not a big cat person but am ok with them. The wife had him when we met and he's turned out to be a pretty cool little dude. He's 18 years old and still has some attitude. :lol: He has slowed down quite a bit though.

i am not a cat fan at all - it's my wife's cat really..

that is probably 1 week after they trimmed and grinding his toe nails.. i get it done like once a month plus take him for walks on the concrete.. doesn't help..

My dog has the same problem. Her back nails seem to do ok just walking on concrete, but the fronts turn into long, black talons if I don't work on them.:idk:

Just a little brown snake. We have a few in the yard and just leave them be. The wife caught two of them when we first realized they were hanging around and came in the house to tell me about it. I couldn't believe she had caught them without coming to get me first :lol: but they are harmless and actually good to have in flower beds etc. because they feast on grubs and other stuff that I don't need in the yard.

We took the ones she caught plus another type of snake we caught down to Davidson College...just down the street from us that was having a Herpatology/Reptile Fair and one of the experts told us about them so we took them back home and turned them loose in the yard. One of my neighbors said "Well you won't see me walking around your yard any time" and I thought to myself...AWESOME...be sure totell the other neighbors !! :rofl:
