I need advice on finding an apartment

Kevin Lawrence — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:55:30 +0000

I am having such a hard time finding an apartment that will take my three Boys. I have no idea why under 25 pounds is considered ok, but larger is not ok. My dogs are K9 Good Citizens, quiet, clean, and non destructive. If anyone has advice I'm all ears. We need a place to live.

I was told sbout this of leash Dog beach in santa Barbara today! I haven't been there yet but will soon and add to this post. I was told in order to get there take 101 to Los Positas. Turn away from the mountains. When you come to a T-intersection and turn right. Take the second left at the base of a cliff. I am also told that once parking is gone it's gone so pick a time that may be less busy. I can't wait to take the Boys there! If anyone else has been there I'd love to hear about it.

Marley and Me - A family learns important life lessons from their adorable, but naughty and neurotic dog. I don't know about you - but I truly loved this movie. Laughed and laughed until I cried and cried.

Furminator de-shedding brush

Reduces shedding up to 90 percent by removing the loose, dead undercoat without damaging the topcoat! Having 2 Large Long Haired dogs this is the only brush that has helped me keep the shedding under control. I highly reccomend it! Furminator de-shedding brush

A Quote

There is an Indian legend which says: "When a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into heaven. At the head of that bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime. The animals, based upon what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away."

Little kids and big Dogs.

Keith — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:45:03 +0000

I have a big dog. A full sized German Shepherd of 85 lbs. Much bigger than little children we meet on our walks. Some little ones we meet do want to pet the dog.

If he makes a move to "kiss" a child it will likely bowl him/her over and possibly scare the kid. So I try to talk to the parent and child and let them know that my dog is very friendly and will let them pet but I want to be in control.

- First I get my dog to lie down.
- Then I let the child know how to pet him.
- I never let go of the leash so that I can keep control
- Standing on the leash snug is one way to keep him down and limit his reach.

Helping little kids get to know the joy of petting a dog is good. But keep in mind not all dogs are eager to have a dangerous little one that close. The dog may not be that trusting or that child may grab or take some other action that creates a dog re-action.

This is my way of keeping little kids and my dog safe. What do you have for experiences with little kids?

barking at fences

Barking at fences...
this is bad behavior.

What do you do to discourage it? :wacko:

Gingle Jangle ~ Bark Bark

Keith — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:10:01 +0000

Do you walk your Dog? Yes?

Do you hear dogs barking as you walk your dog? Yes?

Does your dog have dog tags going Gingel Jangle as you walk? There is the key!

Think about the neighbors of that home bound dog. Your dog may be causing those home bound doggies to be bad neighbors.

We can curb the barking by putting some tape or a rubber band around our dogs' dog tags. You may even find the rubber band on your walk as the mail carrier may drop some on your path.

If you are the one with a barky dog at home... Would you rather that he bark a little less as doggies go past on the sidewalk?

If we curb the Jingle Jangle of the dog tags they will not hear the other dog from a long way off and then there will be Less Barking.

Big Benefit?!? Yes? Try it.

Post a reply with your findings.
