I have a recent post on my own yellow lab, Gracie, almost 6, who has congenital kidney disease and is worsening.<br />She has never destroyed anything in our home (after the first year! ;-D )<br />I wish she had been born with your Gracie's healthy body.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203594257221430139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-84909843767956193142009-05-05T05:49:00.000-03:002009-05-05T05:49:00.000-03:00We once had a golden lab crossed with a border col...We once had a golden lab crossed with a border collie....I don't think I need to say more except good luck Dana.<br /><br />PS Oh I now see that you have found a home for her.

You must be absolutely whacked and too shattered to get your home back together again. I do so hope Gracie has found a good home, where they can give her the attention she needs, and have the patience to try to train her!<br /><br />But dogs screw your heart up, don't they?Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-38256666113452458662009-05-03T23:48:00.000-03:002009-05-03T23:48:00.000-03:00She sounds so much like Marley...!

I can just picture you straddling the dog while being pulled into the Minister's personal space!<br /><br />So......KIJIJI! It worked. She is now in her new home. It's all very strange and I can't really think about it tonight. But, it was best<br /><br />Anon.... SO correct.<br /><br />Claudia...When I walked into the living room only to find my mild mannered husband wrestling Gracie down onto the floor into submission listening to him bellow out "I AM ALPHA..." and then watching Gracie trot off without a whimper, I not only thought we had lost it here, I realized Gracie wasn't going to obey.<br /><br />I'm thinking of changing our phone number so we don't get the call to come get her again.awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-62624292859273756432009-05-03T12:42:00.000-03:002009-05-03T12:42:00.000-03:00We were greatly helped by the Dog Whisperer.

Then we got the book. <br /><br />I think that all beings come into our lives for us to grow. We've grown so much in response to our hyper excitable dog. You don't have to grow - it's just here for you to do so if you choose.<br /><br />If I were to give you advice? The dog needs at least 1 hour of solid exercise every single day, no exceptions, until she's 3 years old. Ours had 2 hours to remain calm - one in the morning and one at night. Crate training also did wonders - she still loves her crate. It's her safe place.<br /><br />Good luck to both of you.On a limb with Claudiahttp://on-a-limb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-44899248225644015472009-05-03T12:30:00.000-03:002009-05-03T12:30:00.000-03:00If she were a human she would be having a neurolog...If she were a human she would be having a neurological assessmentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-43048735499440697692009-05-03T10:17:00.000-03:002009-05-03T10:17:00.000-03:00Dana:
We have a one year old yellow lab
Last week ...Dana:<br />We have a one year old yellow lab<br />Last week she chewed up 50 old cassette tapes, a box of bullets and box of nail and one pack of birth controll pills. As I was trying to figure out how to clean up this mess the doorbell rang, it was our minister coming to pay a call. I tired to hold Maddie back and ended up sort of staddled on her back as she jumped the minister.<br />Embarrassing to say the least. I feel your pain.<br />Good luck with finding the right home for Gracie , I might be behind you next week doing the same thing.<br /><br />MavisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
