Be strong! Make a list of all the bad things that come with a puppy.
Do not, I repeat do not, make a list of the good things.

Of course, it's probably much more ethical and about the animals interest in the US
I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Thank you all, for the advice.
I wonder, what do the vet universitys teach?
Do they tell them that dogs are completely different from wolves?
Or do they say that wolves have their own gardens? LOL

I would not want to deal with the fact that if something was wrong that he would immediately blame raw food.Wow that’s a good point. I didn’t think of that. Where in PA are you? Are you close to NY or MA? There is are some great raw feeding co-ops up that way. If you are interested in how you can contact them drop me a PM.I’m about seven hours away from NY and about three or four hours from MA. I was honest with my vet when I started feeding raw. It took a heap of courage, but luckily he supported it once he was comfortable with the fact that I was well informed on what to do.
I would have serious concern's about the vet's understanding of dog nutrition with a statement like: " dogs can’t digest bones and especially chicken bones". The more I think about it, the more I remember things that kinda bugged me about this vet office. For one thing they are very pushy about selling you there dog food. I looked at it, and the very first ingredient was corn. I just said no, think you, but the vet kept on and on about how good it was. The next time we were there he didn’t remember Jetta at all, which I can understand. But when the vet was checking her out, he said he was impressed with how healthy she looked. I was like yeah I don’t give her any junk food.  But pragmatically, if you don't have a choice of vets, I'd keep quiet about my dog's diet.
I'm about I’m going to look into going to a vet that is about 35 minutes away. But I sill don’t want to burn any bridges.

Hi I have a question.  I called my vet today, because Jetta was acting like her tail was hurt. And the vet thinks it will be fine, I just gave her some aspirin, well we got to talking about Jetta’s diet. And I told the truth, big mistake.  Aside form the normal dog-food, I give Jetta raw whenever I can. Like chicken necks, breasts and raw beef bones. And I would feed her raw all the time, but we don’t have anyplace to buy the food in bulk. Well anyway the vet went on and on, about how dogs can’t digest bones and especially chicken bones. And yes I did try and tell her that I only give raw bones but I didn’t want to get into a debate about it so I was just said ok. So my question is, should I just lie about it and say I’m not feeding raw, if it comes up again. Because this is the only vet office in town and I don’t want to piss them off. And do you have any problems with your vet like this? |

You know I just can’t get over how pretty Dakota is!
And what breed is Ripley?
You should be proud of them both.

There we was. In front-room, Just me and Jetta. I was folding clothes, and she was looking bored. So I thought I would play a little trick on her. I walked into the kitchen, and as she got up and fallowed me. I then hurried out the kitchen’s other doorway, through the diningroom, and back into the front-room. Jetta hesitated in the kitchen for a bit, then looked back in the front-room, and found me. Her tail was wagging and she licked my bare feet a few times. She lay back down. I waited a few minutes. Then I went to the laundry room. She fallowed me in, but I know she loves to sniff around out there. So I walked back to the front-room, and tossed her ball in the diningroom. She heard the ball, and while she was investigating, I softly ran up stairs and hid behind the bathroom door. I could hear her walking around downstairs, looking for me. I called to her, and she dashed up the stairs. I could hear her looking in the other rooms. I started feeling a giggle building up. I covered my mouth. But out it came. And I thought, oh now she will find me for sure. Jetta walked into the bathroom looked around and walked back out. For about a minute she kept on going in and out . She was sniffing but she couldn’t see me. Well she finely started sniffing the toilet, then she turned and seen me. I got kisses and she got a hug. Though, she did give me a look like I must be nuts for standing behind a door. Maybe I’m nuts for playing hide-and-seek with my dog. But I sure had fun! |

He reminds me of a dog that my brother and his wife had. His name was Buddy.
And he was the sweetest dog.
But they got tired of him and gave him away.
Then some months later I asked how Buddy was doing.
My brother said the people that had him. Didn’t feed him and he died.
Needles to say, I was upset.
I wish I could have taken him. But I was just a kid, and I had one dog already.
