I spent the weekend freaking out over (my dog) Kevin's leg. As he gets into his golden years i know at some point his body will give out before his spirit. Last week he started limping more than normal... and by the weekend he would hardly walk. I spent all last night awake worried what...

Izellah is a good dog, I'm not going to lie but I'm at a loss on how to fix this problem I'm having with her and it's driving me crazy. She has these moments of "outburst" where she will go nuts and won't listen to anyone or anything we have to say. When she isn't having these burst of energy...

Lola is 9 months old and I started to hear clunking or knuckle cracking type noises coming from her rear end when she walks. Her legs must not be in her hip sockets right or something, because I can also set my hand on her hind end and feel the clicking when she walks. You can feel and hear the...
