I agree vikinggirl, Toby is calm and backs down from the girls sweetly if they let him know he was too rough but Bella doesn't.

My boy is fairly active and doesn't like to cuddle. He loves my wife more. Our second is a girl and she loves me like crazy but is super lazy. She can jump on the couch but most of the time she wants you to pick her up. She wines until you do. She is a 45 lb lap dog. They both love all people...

Toby within the last week had a red spot on his nose turn in to what looks like a huge mole. Is this a Histiocytoma? Attached is a pic from today and one from 5 days ago. I don't recall if there was a red dot there 5 days ago (in this pic) but you can't see anything so the bump wasn't there 5...

Trying to get every part of his body tucked under, :)

I haven't tried the water but I resorted to the maneuver of putting him on his side until he calms. That was a temporary fix. I then tried the timeout in his crate, same thing, temporary. I then tried the long leash on him so that I could pull the leash and say no but that was also temporary. I...

Toby (english bulldog) has attempted humping Katie (shih-tzu) in the past but not often. She was in heat maybe a month ago and that is when it got bad. He will be 1 yr old this month and was fixed about 4-5 months ago. Katie is 8 months and was fixed 1 1/2 weeks ago. We kept them apart for the...

He has a pocket there and noticed he has some crusties. I am going to give him a bath today. I usually try and give him one once every week or two but with the holidays and and work it is going on 3 weeks so I feel bad. I tried him back on the BG Merrick Salmon and after a day of that his poop...

He has now had regular pooh for the last 2 days so it seems the hairball was the biggest problem. He now seems to want to lick/itch is butt so I don't know if that is because it is irritated a little still and the more solid pooh is bugging him or if there is another issue. Any ideas? It is sad...

I found this morning that Toby coughed up about a 4 inch a hairball with pieces of bark and fuzz from a stuffed animal. The diameter was about the size of his normal poop about an inch I would guess. Does this sound like what could have caused his diarrhea? He still had diarrhea yesterday...

He just went and I noticed it has an oatmeal consistency. I have noticed a few of these around the yard and they do seem to be getting thicker. The one from this morning is mounded. The others are flat trails of pooh which tells me they were more watery. I guess according to ABEBD this is still...

Thanks for the tips! No blood today, haven't found where he pooped yet today either so I will post an update later.

Just found out he had Salmon Tunalini from fromm. It was a small bag so I assume he was on it a week or two but he has been on this new food less than that.

I noticed today his poop is some solid some soft so he is getting back as far as that is concerned but just noticed tonight blood coming out of his rear. I wouldn't say a lot but there are stains on the carpet in multiple spots where he was moving around trying to check it out. I noticed...

We have had Toby (7 1/2 mths old) on Fromm Four Star for 2-3 months now. I decided to change him (and the other dogs) to something more readily available from a local store. I chose Merrick since it was rated high and is at our local petco if we need a bag that day (we normally order online). We...
