I don't know about the ID tag comment. When my dogs are in the house and have no way of escaping, I take their collars off because they play rough and could strangle or snap the neck of each other. Good point, but you shouldn't judge a pet owner based on whether their dog is wearing a tag in one picture. My Ella got up to third place once! Read Less

How about Eve? Simple as it is, it makes sense for when you adopted her and I think the sophistication of the name matches the look of the cat. Congratulations!

I have a dog that is always getting hurt too. It is like he has thin skin or something - he always comes in the house with cuts somewhere on him. I have started to put liquid bandaid on some of his little nicks and it works wonders. Give it a try!

If you don't want to buy a cone, you can also try a bath towel wrapped around their neck and held on with duck tape. It look silly but really works - my dog was hit by a car and had extensive open wounds that lasted for six months. She went through so …

If you don't want to buy a cone, you can also try a bath towel wrapped around their neck and held on with duck tape. It look silly but really works - my dog was hit by a car and had extensive open wounds that lasted for six months. She went through so many of those cones that I gave up and just did the towel thing. She seemed to like it better than the scary cone. You can also put a t-shirt on them, a big old one. Read Less

My dog is also very fearfully aggressive with other dogs only when on leash, which makes sense as they have no way to run away. Walking with her is hard enough because she goes nuts when we hear a dog let alone see one. There have been two instances whe…

My dog is also very fearfully aggressive with other dogs only when on leash, which makes sense as they have no way to run away. Walking with her is hard enough because she goes nuts when we hear a dog let alone see one. There have been two instances when dogs off leash in the front yard have come up to us. The way that my dog screams her head off luckily brought both neighbors out right away. I'm just worried about stray or lost dogs that won't have owners to call them back. Read Less

I had the exact same thing happen to me with my dog. I picked it up off her tail and looked at it in my hand and when it started to move I freaked out and dropped it...in our bed!! Even after changing the bedding, I still had visions of that squirmy lit…

I had the exact same thing happen to me with my dog. I picked it up off her tail and looked at it in my hand and when it started to move I freaked out and dropped it...in our bed!! Even after changing the bedding, I still had visions of that squirmy little grain of rice every time I went to bed. Yuck! Read Less

Isn't it scary how many close calls dogs have? We get this false idea that they are invincible because of how agile they can be. I'm just waiting for the day where I hear the crack of a leg when they jump off the deck or smack their head on a bench at t…

Isn't it scary how many close calls dogs have? We get this false idea that they are invincible because of how agile they can be. I'm just waiting for the day where I hear the crack of a leg when they jump off the deck or smack their head on a bench at the park when running under it at full speed. Read Less

I think that it is so wonderful that you take in some of the tougher or longer term fosters. And it looks like they do great at your house! You definitely have my admiration!
