When a dog is capable of this….

I was "food shopping" for my dogs the other day (fruits and veggies) and the check out lady and I started in conversation.The "lady" behind me then commented, I can’t believe you waste so much money on fruits and veggies for dogs when there are starving kids in the world" and proceeded to shake her head (meanwhile reaching down into her "coach" purse to break out her wallet.

As I was leaving I then replied to her comment (yeah, yeah, takes me a while to come back with a witty come back lol) "I bet you could feed a whole lot of kids with the money it took to buy that designer bag" she looked appauled.

Anyways, cute video I thought I would share with all the dog lovers if you have not already seen it.It’s probably one of the most touching things I’ve seen all day.Probably because a "dumb dog" is the only one who stopped to help.
And my point is proved..two more ignorant morons to add to the books.

I’m thinking I might be pregnant with our second child. My husband is going to explode with excitement since he has been BEGGING me for the last year to get pregnant again!! I want to come up with an adorable way to say I am pregnant (obviously after I find out for sure!). With our daughter that is turning 2 at the end of this month I told him by a letter trail.. I left 7 letters (we were married on 7-7-2007, 7 is my lucky number, 7 is the number of completion in the Bible) every other letter was written in baby blue or pastel pink ink.. I left them in all of our favorite places- where we were married, the barn with our horse stuff, favorite locations etc.. the 2nd to last letter I told him to meet me at the beach and the final letter was in my pocket. When he got there after reading all these letters about how amazing he was and life was.. so on and so on I told him I was going to make him one very happy camper.. at the time I had 5 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats, 4 chinchillas and fish. He was SICK of animals and he begged me not to bring anything else home.. so in the final letter (oh, and the date was Dec 31st 2007) I promised to not bring home anything else.. except ……………for what was in the back seat.. He rolled his eyes and looked quite upset… I opened the back seat and pulled out a small pet carrier that was covered in a towel, I wiggled it around like something was moving in it and I grinned and held it up for him to see. He glanced inside without much enthusiasm and saw a small dog bed, he didn’t seem to look too hard so I opened it up and told him to check it out. He glanced in again and then saw there was nothing inside except a piece of paper in the bed. He reached in and pulled out a piece of paper that had a picture of a baby curled up inside a sea shell and it said "CONGRATS DADDY!!!!!!!!!!" and a picture of the pregnancy test taped to it. He stared at it for a while before it dawned on him, then I don’t know if he was more excited about the baby or not another animal but he was sooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!! It was definitely a moment to remember!!!!

here are some other ideas I have considered or have heard about:
*Making a cake in the shape of a women with a pregnant belly with the #2 on her belly
*After dinner, ask if anybody’s still hungry – because you’ve got a bun in the oven!
*Serving beef stew- which is one of my hubby’s favorite meals- and writting on the bottom of the bowl something like ‘soon to be dinner for 4" or "I wonder if the new baby will like stew too?" or something like that so when he finishes eating he sees it!
*Having our daughter wear an outfit that says "im the big sister!" or "I love my baby brother/sister"
*Serving a meal of BABY back ribs, BABY corn, BABY carrots and everything minaturized!
*His cousin has a 1 week old baby boy so I was considering having him hold the baby and telling him he is going to have to get back into the habit of caring for such a tiny thing. or something like that.
*making a multi layed cake and writting something on paper and putting it in a plastic bag, placing the bag in between the layers so when he cuts the cake he finds it
*leaving the test on the back of the toilet for him to find
*getting another high chair and putting it at the table and see how long it takes him to notice
*we’re getting a toddler bed for our baby girls 2nd birthday and so I was going to tell him not to bother breaking down the crib since we’re going to need it!

I have a few more ideas but I am tired of typing lol Please share with me any ideas you have no matter how silly they seem! I’d love to find something that will be memorable forever!!! THANKS!
"My Eggo is Preggo" hahaa how cute! I love the idea of different colored layers!! very cute!!!!!!!!

I am flying Airtran on June 17th. I will be taking my Bichon Frise (At the time he will be 5 months) I need to take him because my aunt is going on a roadtrip and i will be gone for almost 2 months. What should i bring with me as a carry on for the Puppy? He will be in a Sherpa Carrier. Can i take a case of Ceasar Wet dog food? It will go in my checked in bag at the counter. Also what do they do on flights if someone is allergic to dog hair or dogs?
Thanks Everyone =)
I am taking him to the Vet tommorow and will be discussing it with him. If he says it is not a good idea then i have no choice to leave him with family
Well they told me the dog would be put under the seat
I wish it was a direct flight. But i am flying from Kansas to Atlanta then to Florida. And i only have like a 30 minute layover so i will be rushing

What restaurants/stores allow dogs?
I live in the Burbank (Los Angeles) area, and like to take my little 14.5 pound dogge everywhere with me.. trouble is, so few places allow pets, unlike Europe. ) I’ve taken her to Staples, Lowes, Home Depot, Virgils, furniture stores like Levitz and Easy Life, obviously Petco.. I realized that wherever they sell food, they won’t let you take dogs, such as Ikea and Target. What places do you know of that will allow pets (in a soft sided carrier)? I’ve heard outdoor restaurants (restaurants with terraces) like Baja Fresh sometimes let.. I’m wondering about places like Michaels, or In-N-Out.. Anybody have any experiences with this? She’s not TEENY so I can’t just stick her in my bag, even though she doesn’t make any noise. She’s so polite and loves to go places in her carrier )

I want to use my dog as a psychiatric service dog. She is trained (by me) to fetch my anxiety med bag if I’m in panic attack. She (if not in my arms) will stand between a stranger and I to help keep me calm. She does not become aggressive unless I am threatened (as in someone is going to physically hurt me). She also knows the sit/stay command as well as lie down. I can take her to a public area (where dogs are allowed) and she does not sniff unless I tell her to go potty. Basically she is a good dog. I have taught her well.

I have panic anxiety disorder, PTSD, depression, as well as a dissociative disorder. She helps keep me calm when I am able to take her with me.

I was wondering how do I go about getting her certified/licensed as a service dog?

Normally if I am going out I use a carrier for her (as she is a chihuahua dachsaund).

So what would I need to do exactly to be able to use her as a service dog in public is my main question? I am assuming she has to have certification or licensure (as in some form of official ID).
I have become knowledgeable about PSD compared to ESA and she would be used as a PSD.
I’m also legally blind. She also alerts me to someone outside my home (as I cannot see them), She helps me to cross a street safely as well. If she is in a carrier she will paw my hand if someone approaches so I am aware of it. Otherwise she holds a stand/stay posture facing me in order to stay between me and the stranger approaching. Once they speak I tell her sit and she does.

I have a 2 lb. yorkie puppy. I was wanting to get a puppy carrier (the kind that looks like a purse, made for carrying dogs) so that I can take him with me places. However, I was wondering do businesses mind if you do this? For instance, if I went to Target could I take him in with me if he was in his carrier bag?

You know exactly what I’m talking about. When you see a "teacup" (read: Runt) chihuahua in a pink outfit complete with shoes, in a "dog carrier" handbag. People dressing their dogs up as bees, rabbits, etc.

How do you feel about it? I’m all for people making their dogs wear coats in the winter to keep them warm (not that you have that problem with a dog that wants to live in a mountain of snow!), but the people that dress their dogs up.

Do you think it’s ok? Or do you think it’s unacceptable? When is it acceptable?

Best answer goes to whoever justifies their opinion, not just anyone that reflects my belief.

A ziploc bag of 1 lb of raw boneless, skinless chicken was in the garbage outside (smelled fine – couple of days passed the sell date so I just tossed it), and my 4-yr old beagle managed to find it and devour it. About 5 mins later, he threw up I believe most of the raw boneless chicken (normal when he eats too fast, which I’m sure he did). While I know many advocate giving raw meats to dogs, we’ve just never done that, he always gets cooked meats and cooked veggies. So I’m concerned if he’ll be OK (his system is not used to raw). Also, I’m concerned about salmonella and campylobacteria, both of which are usually on raw chicken. I’m mostly concerned that he might be a carrier to us – I have a 2 yr old daughter that adores the dog (he sleeps with us, lays on the couches, rolls around with the kid, etc. etc.) Do we have something to worry about regarding bacterial infections – either for him or us?
