Hey everyone, I was brushing Grover's teeth this morning and he jerked away and I noticed blood on the brush. I looked in his mouth and he had a broken tooth! It is on the top left side and is one of his molars, I think. The think is that I'm not sure how long it has been there. I have not noticed anything amiss before now, but if I'm being honest, I haven't brushed his teeth in at least a month. (Lesson learned, I won't let these things go so long in the future). Poor guy has been eating… Continue

Hey everyone! Today is Grover's birthday! He is an awesome two years old! (As a side note, his yucky eye is SO much better today, just in time for birthday fun!) We didn't do a whole lot. He got a new toy and his friend, Pablo the Pit Bull came to visit for the night. My best friend is Pablo's Mom and Grover and Pablo play together like two peas in a rotten pod! They are great together! Pablo isn't a year old yet, so he's still a pup and he totally wears Grove out! Grover got some special… Continue

Well, I had posted in the forum about Grover's limp and his recent diagnosis. I just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate everyone's advice and support!

I think I'm still pretty heart broken to hear that he has dysplasia, but don't think I'll be gettin over that anytime soon.

But I do really appreciate being able to come here and get the advice and encouragement! He's my best little friend and I love him SO much. I don't think many of the people in my life really have this… Continue

Well, I've just learned a very valuable lesson about what will happen if Grover hasn't had a walk and I'm distracted. I was sitting on the coach playing Guitar Hero. Yes I'm 26 and was pumped to get Guitar Hero for X-Mas...I'm a dork. Grover was whiney because he wanted his evening walk and I was just too damned distracted...one minute he's chewing his Nyla, the next...my cell phone. He certainly got the walk once I realized my error...but not before he had a time out in his crate!!

My… Continue

Over the weekend, my husband and I took our pup to a family reunion about 3 hours from home. I thought that it's be fun for Grover because we have lots of kids in my family (I have a HUGE family, my mother has 12 brothers and sisters) and most all of my family loves dogs!

The 3 hour drive down proved to be a bit of a challenge. We have never really traveled that far with Grover. He doesn't really enjoy riding in the car very much, he whines and tries to get out of his seat belt harness and… Continue
