OK - I'm going to try to be delicate here. We've had Jake since early August, and he's our first Silky Terrier. He's a great little guy and a fun addition to our little family. The vet declared him to be about 1 year old. Full of love and energy. We've been feeding him Eukanuba Adult since that was wh...

At one time, I worked in a store that specialized in backyard bird feeding. While there, I read there that certain flowers attract hummers better than others. As I see hummingbird accessories available elsewhere on this web site, I thought I'd pass along my own experience with them. In addition t...

We've only been in the RV for six weeks, but we've run into something we think is odd. The RV park has a nice dog walk area, but will not allow dog owners to walk their dogs through the park. They must be transported in something enclosed. We've seen the oddest configurations of strollers, baskets on...

Has anyone considered traveling with their dogs riding inside the camper instead of the tow vehicle? We have a wonderful little guy (Brody the Bichon) who is well behaved, well trained, sweet mannered, and is excited to get in the vehicle and go with us! Problem is -- once he rides for 5-10 minutes he s...

We have had our pets for years. When we decided to fulltime, we knew the pups would be part of it too. We have four minitaure dachsies and an English Bulldog with us! Ya know, it sounds crazy, but they are part of the family. They would go camping and traveling with us before, so it's no big deal. Also, when...

Do any of you carry pepper spray or a big walking stick when you walk your dog(s). After reading a recent Nick Russell blog I am concerned that we might occasionally encounter a dog that is overly aggressive. If you do carry pepper spray, I'd appreciate knowing the brand and where to buy it. Thank youl...

I think I found another answer to the question of where to hide the litter box: if you Google 'hidden litter box' you will get several hits for covered litter boxes that are designed to look like a planter. They're not cheap, but you could put them anywhere you like. Tim Fansler
