I took my pup out to the pond last thusday and saw a snake swim to the shore. Not a clue what kind it was but five seconds later with a 15 pound rock on its head it was a dead one! Then we went home because I still felt creeped out!

Yeah, I sure do. Thanks guys!

What is kennel cough?

So, Daisy is an outside dog no if, ands, or buts about it. When I put her in her pen with her kennel and food and water and toys she freaks. She hates being in there without me in it with her. Last time she freaked and tried to crawl under the gate knowing good and well she wasnt fitting. Well, she ...

My daisy is 9 weeks old. The first time I tried to play fetch with her it went so-so. She was playing with a toy squirrel and I took it and tossed it. Not far, maybe five foot. She went and brought it back and continued playing with it. I let her go at it for a while and tossed it again to see if it...

Thanks everyone. Makes me feel alot better about putting her in cold water!

So, this is one of those questions I'm sure I'll get made fun of for but here it goes: I know my lab puppy loves water.
