I agree with Cbrugs- puppies need to eat more than once a day. Most vets recommend 3x per day. We've always fed 2x per day because of our work schedule. It could be the food you're feeding is too rich as well. We feed Earthborn Holistic- Meadow Feast and they all poop 2-3 times per day. My...

Could this possibly just be seasonal flank alopecia? I know it's very common in bulldogs and at one point my old EB (Josie) looked very similar to this! Effie has had it before too, but not in the last several years, thankfully. Melatonin is used to help treat this, among a few other things...

:heartsign: Omg what a cutie pie!! I love reds!! He reminds me of when Effie was a small fry. Never lasts long enough!

I have been off EBN for so long and recently decided to pop back in- I am so sorry your family and Lambeau are going through this. It's heartbreaking. If I remember correctly, I believe my Effie girl is round about the same age as Lambeau. She's slowed down quite a bit recently and has developed...

You may be referring to my sibling rivalry issue! (Effie & Josie)...we're working with our new trainer diligently. Surprisingly, they got into a fight while he was there that first night. As much as I hated it, I'm glad it happened while the trainer was there so he can see exactly what we are...

Dollys Owner No we definitely wouldn't be leaving them with anyone anyway- when we travel they come with us. We've never boarded either of them. I don't really have anyone that I would trust to watch them even when they are behaving, so they would have to be professionally boarded if it suddenly...

Hankster You made A LOT of sense. I was on the phone with a new trainer for over an hour yesterday and I do think that a HUGE part of the problem is with us & our leadership abilities. I have the new trainer coming tomorrow evening at 6pm for a 3 hour session. If all goes well we are registering...

2BullyMama We are going to try our very best. I actually took them for a good walk earlier this week & we had zero issues with them that evening. They were both tuckered out. They walked side by side, as good as could be. We don't do it nearly often enough & I hope that a decent evening walk...

2BullyMama No absolutely no direct biting or lunging at us whatsoever. The injuries were superficial, and most likely attributed to teeth grazing vs. actual biting. Neither one of us lost chunks of skin- they look more like scratches, no puncture wounds. Truth be told, we don't even know which...

I've talked to just about every family member and close friend that we have....everyone already has dogs or is not in the position to take her. My mom would love to take her, but she's got a tiny female chihuahua. I wouldn't feel confident sending Josie to another house where there are other...

I am trying to prepare my heart for what I feel like is almost certain to happen. My husband doesn't think we've tried everything we possibly can. We sat around most of last night crying & trying to decide what we should do. We are going to bring the trainer back in for some more sessions. We're...

That's correct- they are not litter mates. They're roughly a year apart in age. Josie was found tied outside of an apartment complex. The young man who found her said she had been there for several days before he brought her in. The original owner didn't even know she was missing & hadn't seen...

We are desperately in need of some help and advice. Some of you may remember everything we went through earlier this year obtaining Josie. She was re-homed to us via Craigslist (for free) by a young man who stated that he had already had her checked for a chip. He found her tied to a pole...

I'm getting caught up on seasons 9 & 10 of Doctor Who right now. I got behind when they took it off Netflix, but I just recently learned that it was on Amazon Prime :) Had to set up yet another new subscription service lol. I'm also watching Game of Thrones. Anxiously awaiting the return of...

Yikes!! Yeah that would have scared me too! I don't understand why a TOTAL STRANGER would think it's okay to ask how much you paid for your dog? Seriously?? That would have been a huge red flag for me too. People make me so nervous. My husband and I went to Florida to visit family a couple...
