Thank you I appreciate it, gave her some chicken and rice and seems pretty good for now. Can't wait to see the vet though Before they had issues with Hills did they seem ok in the beginning ? shes been on hills for a while now

Yes I thought this is more for the 'owners' not the dogs. Weirdest thing I have ever read. Only in the USA

Tahli is a frequent dreamer, I get the little barks, eye movements, legs about, it's very cute. She does run into some nightmares sometimes, she will wake up like a sentry and start barking and looking around till she realises she's home and safe. I have several recordings of her barking in sleep he he he Always wonder what they are dreaming about. I read yesterday birds dream of songs, not sure what I believe with that one.

Hi All, I cant get into the vet till tomorrow morning, but Tahls has got loose stool, can still pick most of it up but scratching my head to what can be the cause. Today after her one this morning she was scooting the bum a bit, I checked it, shes not red there or anything and nothing seems abnormal. Should I give her just chicken and rice? or mashed pumpkin to see how I go for today? or any other suggestion? I feed her hills diet, and chicken wings or neck. Nothing has really been out of the ordinary to my knowledge, only maybe giving her some cold spring water yesterday with the heat. Would that usually affect it? as she usually has tap water. I have also read sometimes can be bone in there? I will still definitely take her to the vet tomorrow Oh, and shes been wormed, not due for a while. Her poo has nothing weird in it either and its tan brown colour. I know there is a lot of topics on it, but wondering if spring water might be the reason? ughh ETA - she is her usual playful energetic self, no change in behaviour whatsoever.

Doggy Nightclub http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24841446/ Back in the '70s, when singer Alicia Bridges was belting out her hit "I Love the Nightlife"and nightclub owner Steve Rubell had New York City trendoids on the velvet ropes outside his famous Studio 54 — a scene that forever encapsulated the night fever frenzy of the disco era — no-one could have possibly forecast that today's party animals would, in fact, be animals. Dogs to be exact. These days, many pooches around the country lead a very active social life after dark and the trend is definitely growing. And, if Rubell is the name most associated with the nightlife of the '70s, then Los Angeles businessman Brandon Hochman must take today's credit for putting dogs in the nightlife mix. Hochman’s personal pet peeve was that he loved the L.A. party scene, but was troubled that he couldn’t take his own pooches Mish Mash, a Maltipoo, Lucy the Labrador and Baxter the Pug with him for a drink and a good time. Consequently, he decided to open L.A.’s first doggie night club appropriately named SkyBark on the rooftop of his downtown offices, with unique doggie restrooms as part of the master plan — Hochman invented the Pet-a-Potty, an indoor pet toilet that allows pets to take indoor bathroom breaks. This grass sod system can be installed anywhere — nightclubs, theatres, hotels — wherever dogs are. When SkyBark's doors opened in 2005, California’s canines were howling to rock and roll on a special 3,000-square-foot lawn doggie dance floor, lap up "muttinis" and set a precedent nationwide. The venue with a stunning 360 degree view of the city skyline has a full bar, DJ’s spinning the latest music and a wonderful mix of celebrities and pet lovers from all over Southern California. “It’s not just about having a fun evening out with your dog,” says Hochman. “The covert charge from every event is donated to an animal charity and different rescue groups benefit from each event. This way we are sharing the wealth amongst all those in need.” Tails in the City botique in Chicago hosted a pet event at Level nightclub, serving doggie treats shaped like martinis. To get on the guest list is simple; anyone with a well-trained pooch can attend. Concierges at pet-friendly hotels are alerted in advance of parties so that travelers with dogs can plan ahead. Alternatively, anyone can sign up for the SkyBark newsletter on SkyBark.com which provides information on forthcoming events. SkyBark has become a fixture on the Los Angeles social scene, last year winning awards for the best pet service in L.A., and was named “the hottest new club in Los Angeles in 2007” by the National Enquirer. Bruce Haas, co-owner of the trendy Tails in the City pet boutique off stylish Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, says anyone can stage a doggie event if you have proper canine bathroom facilities. Recently, Haas and his partner Phillip Emigh threw a bash called "Dance with the Dogs" at the very trendy Level nightclub on Rush Street. The Pupperazzi were camped outside focused on the red carpet as stylishly dressed owners and their pooches made their way into the two-level club to meet, mingle and dance to the latest hits. Pet parents sipped Arnold Pawmers, the club’s signature vodka, cranberry juice and lemonade drink; while doggie party animals munched on treats shaped like martinis. “We also had a beauty lounge so that dogs cold have pawidures and hair touch-ups,” says Haas. “We had quite an international mix of people, as a lot of foreign guests staying at nearby pet-friendly hotels took advantage of a social event that included their pooches.” Scott Rinehart of Wiskers Pet Beastro in Belmont Shore, Long Beach, Calif., says if you want to give your dog an active social life after dark, a good place to look for events is on pet boutique notice boards. “We host cheese and wine parties in store every month, serving wines with pet-related labels with names such as Dog House. Dogs get flavored waters in fun martini-shaped bowls along with organic gourmet treats — they are always well attended.” “People love to attend events with their pets after hours as it gives them a chance to relax and unwind,” says Meredith Brooks of Lil’ Angel Pet Boutique and Gallery in Denver, Colo. Brooks holds regular art exhibitions in store, giving people who appreciate art an interesting venue to meet and mingle. The Kimpton Hotel group is also getting in on the pet social scene. The Hotel Monaco in Alexandria, Va., holds a "Yappy Hour" in the hotel’s courtyard every Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5.30 to 8.00 p.m. Melany Mullens, public relations specialist for the group says gatherings kick-off in April and continue until the end of summer. The hotel’s Director of Pet Relations, a handsome Bichon Frise named Charlie is always on hand to greet guests. “The biggest advantage of places that cater after dark to dogs is that it removes the guilt of having to rush home to walk and feed the dog and feeling that you should rather be home spending time with your pet,” says Hochman. Sniffing on the heels of SkyBark L.A.'s success, Hochman is now looking to expand the concept to other cities famous for their nightlife such as Las Vegas, New York and Boston.

I'm in the south west, no fleas I have seen for a while now not 1. Hope I didn't just jinx myself :D

Good luck with your new puppy :D Hope you get pics for us once you choose

That's the thing, seems a long process just cant wait till it's over for her. I ordered this freez bone thing to help but over a month later it hasn't arrived!!!!! Just the luck when you REALLY need it.

Agree 100% we need something like this asap

Tahli just lost 2 I've kept them Poor thing I can tell it's painful for her sometimes.

Rip Kasper I know what your saying about the pain being worse than of a family member. Many hugs to you and your wife

Great news his coming home wow what an ordeal you poor thing

I would definitely be telling the breeder. The fact if someone has to lie to obtain a puppy I don't agree with it at all. Unfortunately I believe it happens a lot thats why I'm all for full checks. It's a long term commitment, what will happen if the dog gets incredibly ill? are they going to forget about it? raises way too many questions IMO. When I bought my home a year ago, I knew we couldn't afford a pup straight away, I waited over a year till everything was sorted and was sure I could afford it. Why can't people have the same discipline? If you cannot afford a pup forget your needs and wants this pup has more needs than you do.

I wish they would just be shut down why is it so hard to the govt to stop it, wait who am I talking about it's the govt for goodness sakes. poor pups

Pup and I both hunt flies together (when they get inside) it's the funniest thing I'm there to find it, then she goes for it, misses a lot though, so she watches me looking for it until we go for it again. This can go on for over an hour She also loves moths but way easier to get.

That is just heartbreaking....can't help to think what if it was your dog and how that would feel Poor lady, thats a memory that won't escape her mind. I hope she is ok poor dear. Sad way for a dogs life to end this is just so sad

What a special ending it's amazing how long they can last without food.. plus being her age is amazing.

woah thats just scary...is that for real?

Yay for Khan!!!

Anyone see a current affair last night or one before? about the sniffer dog going to dance parties... there weren't enough cops to keep up with the dog in catching these people out something like 10 in a couple of minutes

Hands up to all dogs being inside I have a doggy door best investment ever, then again she usually just wants to be where I am and I am ok with that

22 wow!! living longer than my cat did Beautiful story

It's interesting though, I've also heard of dogs knowing when a pregnant woman is about to go into labour..

Hi All, I cannot find the thread with the link to the hand made dog leads, I think one was called tug n pull or something and they had all different colours made out of a soft material really nice looking too. I been waiting till pay day to get one but can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and point me in the right direction?

This was a great day. Shame not much seems to go on in Sydney :D My first time at Cafe Bones and loved it!
