Does anyone have any tricks for getting their dog to run on a treadmill? I have gotten my Weim, Pele, to do a few steps...towards a treat, but then he jumps off! With the weather, I'd really like to be able to run him inside on the treadmill! Any suggestions??

I have always read that the raw chicken from the grocery shouldn't be fed....what are your thoughts? I was under the impression it had to be organic chix, due to the additives and hormones, and other "injectibles" they infuse them with. Same with the butcher shop. My vet said if I wanted to feed raw chix, then to raise organic ones myself. What do you think?

A Veterinarian was sick and went to see the doctor.
The doctor asked him all the usual questions about symptoms etc., when he interrupted him: "Hey look, I am a Vet - *I* don't need to ask my patients all these questions. I can tell what is wrong just by looking." He added, "Why can't you?" The doctor nodded, stood back, looked him up and down, quickly wrote out a prescription, handed it to him, and said, "There you are. ...Of course, if *that* does not work, we'll have to have you put down."

How To Photograph A Puppy
Remove film from box and load camera. Remove film box from puppy's mouth and throw in trash. Remove puppy from trash and brush coffee grounds from muzzle. Choose a suitable background for photo. Mount camera on tripod and focus. Find puppy and take dirty sock from mouth. Place puppy in pre-focused spot and return to camera. Forget about spot and crawl after puppy on knees. Focus with one hand and fend off puppy with other hand. Get tissue and clean nose print from lens. Take flashcube from puppy's mouth and throw in trash. Put cat outside and put peroxide on the scratch on puppy's nose. Put magazines back on coffee table. Try to get puppy's attention by squeaking toy over your head... Replace your glasses and check camera for damage. Jump up in time to grab puppy and say, "No, outside! No, outside!" Call spouse to clean up the mess. Fix a drink. Sit back in Lazy Boy with drink, and resolve to teach puppy "sit" and "stay" the first thing in the morning.

Some foods, when consumed in large quantities by our canine kids can be deadly. But even consumed in small amounts they can be very hazardous. Here are some that should definitely be avoided:
Alcoholic beverages: I think we've all encountered someone who thinks its funny that their dog "loves beer". In small amounts, consuming any type of alcohol can result in GI irritation, central nervous system depression, tremors, difficulty breathing or panting. In large amounts, it can cause respiratory failure, acidosis, coma, and death. Chocolate (all forms): We've heard all about it...DON"T feed the dog chocolate!! Chocolate can cause GI irritation, hyperactivity, panting, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures, and even death, depending on the amount ingested. Fatty foods: How many times have we seen our family members give their dog the fat off their plate? Well, STOP. GI upset, and abdominal pain are the mild results. The worst case? A fatal inflammatory condition of the pancreas. Macadamia nuts: These tasty holiday treats can produce weakness (particularly in the hind quarters), depression, vomiting, drunkeness, and tremors. Moldy or spoiled food: I've seen my mother do it when I was a child. Clean out the fridge of the old food and give it to the dog. GI irritation, tremors, seizures, and death can result from these foods!! Onions, Garlic, Chives: Damage to red blood cells Potato and Tomato: The green parts cause severe GI upset, hypersalivation, drowsiness, CNS depression, dilated pupils, weakness, and slow heart rate. Raisins/Grapes: Acute kidney failure in some dogs. Affected dogs start to vomit, drink lots of water, resulting in diarrhea, kidney failure, and death. Salt (including foods high in salt): Sodium ion poisoning: vomiting, depression, tremors, excessive thirst, diarrhea,high body temp., seizures, and death if enough is consumed.

As an elderly lady sat on her front porch reflecting on her long life, a Fairy Godmother suddenly appeared and offered to fulfill three wishes for her.
"Well," said the woman, "I guess I'd like to be rich." POOF: The Fairy Godmother turned her rocking chair into solid gold. "And I wouldn't mind being a young and beautiful princess." POOF: The Fairy Godmother turned the old woman into an exquisite young princess, with a priceless crown of jewels. "Your third wish?" asked the Fairy Godmother. "Could you possibly turn my wonderful dog into a handsome prince?" POOF: There, in front stood the most handsome young man anyone had ever seen. She stared at him in awe, completely smitten. As he came toward her, her knees weakened. He bent down, brushing his lips across her ear as he whispered, "I bet you are sorry you had me neutered."

Help Wanted
A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window, stating the following: "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer." A short time afterwards, a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined. Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However, the dog looked determined, so he lead him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager. The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair. The manager was stunned, but then told the dog, "The sign says you have to be good with a computer." The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to demonstrate his expertise with various programs and produced a sample spreadsheet and database and presented them to the manager. By this time the manager was totally dumb-founded! He looked at the dog and said, "I realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. However, I *still* can't give you the job." The dog jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the sentences that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager said, "Yes, but the sign *also* says that you have to be bilingual." The dog looked at him straight in the face and said, "Meow."

The smaller ones tend to be more nervous. 6. Both have an inordinate fascination with women's crotches. 7. Neither does any dishes. 8. Both fart shamelessly. 9. Neither of them notice when you get your hair cut. 10. Both like dominance games. 11. Both are suspicious of the postman. 12. Neither understands what you see in cats.

Ten top ways to tell if Martha Stewart is stalking your dog
10. There's potpourri hanging from his/her collar. 9. The dog's nails have been cut with pinking shears. 8. The dog toys are all stored in McCoy crocks. 7. The pooper scooper has been decorated with raffia bows. 6. That telltale lemon slice in the new silver water bowl. 5. You find liver and whole wheat dog treats stamped out with copper cookie cutters and decorated with royal icing using a #2 rosette tip. 4. Dog hair has been collected and put into wire baskets for nesting material for the birds. 3. A seasonally appropriate grapevine wreath adorns the front of your dog's crate. 2. Your dog goes outside naked and comes in wearing a thyme colored virgin wool hand-knitted sweater with matching boots. AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY YOU KNOW THAT MARTHA STEWART IS STALKING YOUR DOG IS... 1. The dog droppings in your backyard have been sculpted into swans.

So does that mean that the kidneys are not working as well or are working better, or that there is just more waste in the blood, or less? I would think that there would be more waste in the kibble fed diet, considering the contaminants.

I thought starting a thred about websites would be good helpful information. An FYI would be never judge a breeder by their site ! I have a few pointers on how to read a website, but I can't think of all on the top of my head. I'll sort though and add them later. Until then, it would be interesting to see what others look for on a website that would raise a "red flag".

A dog walks into a telegram office, takes out a blank form and writes, "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof."
"There are only nine words here," says the clerk. "You could send another 'woof' for the same price." The dog looks at him, confused. "But that wouldn't make any sense."
