Inna I have a suggestion. I have never sold on Ebay but have bought lots. If you list the price at .99 and someone makes an opening bid, it has to be $.99. If there is no other bid the item sells for that. The price must be made up in handling and shipping fees. To earn a profit, the item should be listed at a minimum of your cost including listing. Also add a handling fee above the cost to ship.

Cha Cha is looking good. How is her weight?

dont get the psot wrong, I am not mad.
I just wish I hadnt posted about it
I have a lot to worry about in life and I try not to worry about all the
what ifs, and choose which ones I want to worry about. Tape isnt one.
Do you have a young dog, by using a crate? or use it for a older one.
Would love seeing a picture of your dog, is it a girl or boy dog
I cant send many pictures due to not having a digital camera.
but like looking at the others pictures
and seeing how pretty some are, and funny acting

Mary,
Can you please post a pic of your doggy in a crate?
This way we'll all have a much better idea.
If I'm thinking of what you're describing then,
it doesn't have a top that comes off.
If you would be so kind as to post a pic of your pup in crate,
I'm sure many of us would appreciate it

I dont' know why you're so mad. People are just trying to be helpful. The truth is duck tape can be very dangerous and the fact that you used it at all is quite alarming. What if poor little Lucy got it stuck in her throat as she tried to chew it off during one of those times "where you can't watch them every second". If you don't prepare to prevent the "what ifs" then you will end up with something worse than a peice of tape stuck to a paw. Sorry, but it's the truth. You have to do all you can to prevent bad things from happending before they happen and part of that is anticipating the what ifs in life.

[/quote]Great idea, but Cinnamon is a climber. I had to have a large dog crate, with a top, to keep her confined. It has room for her smaller crate, food, water, a toy and chew, and 2 training pads.[/quote]

These pens have a top on them that opens. With a crate you don't have that option. There is also a front door like on a crate. They are great for climbers because you can open or close the top which ever you like.

while reading this morning, I read that one too, how if one goes into heat it can trigger another female dog. So it must be true it happened to you.
Called and Vet said it may be best to wait...shows they would have done it, it meant $$$ I read some clinics wont.
this info isnt dog related but I know it is that way with female humans
I had 4 girls and myself all living at home, and I noticed that back then
She has been sleeping so much today. Just think she may be more agreeable afterwards , and escpecially after a spay
I use to feel sorry for my son and husband having to put up with 5 touchy females

"Poodles, America's choice for the next presidential dog according to a survey conducted in August of more than 42,000 Americans by the AKC, tend to have owners who are detail-oriented and appreciate art and culture."

does this sound like anyone here? anyone "owners who are detail-oriented and appreciate art and culture"....

I am a big frantic disaster even on a good day, and I think it amuses my poodles..... I appreciate art, but pretty much I wouldn't consider myself cultured... I like trashy novels and bad tv, i have to admit!

But I do think the Obama's should get a Poodle, (and name it McCanine) it would be great if they got a shaggy, smile-y happy clown like Beanie...

my crate is 20 by 25. I am not buying a larger one.at that price. I dont have money to burn. Or the space.
She is a year old ,I do have her sleep in crate .
the Vet said Cookie has a small bladder, SHe goes outside, but one day it rained, and one day it was cold, so she went inside because she wanted to and thought she could
I didnt think anyth ing was wrong with a piece of duck tape, over the regular tape.After I caught Lucy taking her diaper off for her.
Now if I use one on Cookie, again I wouldnt use any tape. Just sternly correct Lucy.
Those dogs are watched really close , since I am here all the time. But I cant see everything, and if they are quite somewhere I go look for them. Due to Lucy thinking things up to amuse herself.
That is usually when they do something they shouldnt
Like the morning Lucy raveled out my carpet,
Lucy is wearing diapers now since she started her heat. Cookie doesnt bother hers, so no tape is needed.
I dont really the chance of tape injuring a dog is that great she scratched it with a paw and thats were it stuck.
. no more than any other chances we take ....like using Frontline, and some booster shots.

1. Pip, 1 year old
2. Hmm... I'm not sure. I guess it would be green or yellow. Maybe even red.
3. His prized possession would have to be his pink giraffe. Tough guys like pink too .
4. Steak, thanks to his daddy
5. Lately it's been his heated blanket/sweaters. But any other time it would be Pinkie (his giraffe) lol
6. Nothing! Well maybe the vacuum but he puts on a very convincing tough guy act.
7. When I rub his back he gets so into it that he slowly closes his eyes, starts to wobble a little and then he just completely collapses. Also when he is playing with his toys and he tosses them up in the air lol.
8. When he chooses to come to me instead of the bf (even though he tries to "buy his affection" with steak)
9. When he was a baby he had a bad habit of showing of his "dominating skills" over Pinkie. But I nipped that in the bud
10. Purposely throws his toys off the bed just so I can reach down and pick them up for him to drop down again and again lol

I haven't read up on it but I know that most vets around here will not perform the surgery during their cycle. And from my own experience with my older dog, they can operate as soon as they finish (well about a week or 2 after). I also think it's kind of weird how yours came in right after each other because the same thing happened with mine. Sheba was well over a year before she had her first cycle and it just so happened to be the same week we were watching a neighbors dog who was in season. Similar situation with my sisters Chihuahua. And yes they can be very moody

I was to scared to even touch his back leg so the poor little guy had to walk around with one furry leg for about a week before I built up the courage to shave off all the matted up hair .

That is so cute. I am laughing because this is a great picture of a really bad hair day. That is a hallmark card moment.

I have purchased a 3' by 3' pen from Petedge and it has plenty of room for play and I just line the bottom with puppy pads. It has room for her blanket and toys, food and water. They are not that expensive either. About $169. They have a nice big tray in the bottom to make cleaning easy.

Wish I had a camera for this one! Maggie, now about 5 months old but way behind in developing because of neglect is doing really well with housetraining. She even started to stand by the back door to go out to pee.

However the whole poo thing must be beyond her grasp so far...

She got on the couch, climbed onto the back of the couch, in front of our picture window and proceeded to start pooping on the back of the couch.

Hope no one was walking or driving by because it was dark outside and I am sure the sight of a poodle pooping on the back of the couch will stick in their minds.

***Sigh***

I always say it is good to catch them in the act, but it was hard not to laugh when I was correcting her and taking her out!
