walk

Do you prefer a collar or harness to use with the leash for your dogs? I have our new puppy's daily collar picked out, but not sure if I should get a harness too. I just use the daily collars for my 2 Bassett-mixes. We do not walk often, mostly play/run in our decent-sized back yard.

He threw up two little piles last night that were like brown oatmeal, not even a handful each time - I am thinking digested food. Then this morning all is normal, eat, play, poo, running around. I happen to be working at home because my car died so it is in the shop today and he has thrown up...

...and let the dogs in. We follow a few minutes later. I'm standing in the kitchen and I hear what can only be described as a sigh of relief followed by some happy grunts and snorts. I walk into the living room and see this: I thought I'd better grab my phone and take a picture before she...

Anyone else here owns a super active bulldog? OMG... Izzy... the older she gets (now 3 years old) the more energy she seems to have. This past Sunday I took her to the swimming group.

Talk about a spoiled bulldog.. wow.. I change their water three times a day. Breakfast, Dinner and before bed. Just now, we came in after our last walk. I didn't change their water right away. Blue stood in the entryway to the kitchen panting and looking at me. Couldn't figure out what he...

Harvey is microchipped but I never had a name tag for him until today. I just had one made and engraved with his name and our phone. He does not have a collar but a harness only and I only put those on when I take him for a walk. Question: what is an alternative collar or even leather...
