I know some treats that are plain chicken jerkey, oven baked with no salt. Right now Kato is eating sweet potato and chicken twists from VitaLife. The chicken and sweet potato are the only ingredients, listed on the package at least. However only the sweet potato is soft and Chloe's allergic to that too, right? You could use boiled chicken as treats, if you have the time. Is she allergic to carrots? Sometimes I bake Kato some carrots and occasionally other veggies. He likes them because they're sweet.

Yes, she's allergic to sweet potato, chicken, and carrots. She's also allergic to soy, wheat, corn, rice, white potato, rabbit pumpkin, and bison *sigh*.

She can have banana but that might be too sticky to use as training treats. It doesn't really matter at home, but we're going to take a class soon and I want something she can eat quickly. I have some dehydrated beef liver, and some biscuits I can break up but I would really like to find something that is quiet and I can cut up into small pieces. Plus according to what I read on Amazon they are made in China.

I was thinking of some apple. And maybe some peanut butter in a treat tube? I don't know if I can order it in time for class but can try.

I just checked out VitaLife, they do have a duck tenders treat which look promising ingredient wise, but not for getting into small pieces.

Maybe cut up cucumber? It can also help keep them hydrated too! If Chloe isn't allergic to that too! I'm just trying help. My puppy loves cucumber and hasn't harmed her!

Yesterday I took Swizzy to the lake. We came across a baby raccoon and called the rehabilitation center they said for me to bring it in, they already caught one that morning. So I tied Swizzy to a tree, wrapped the raccoon in a towel and retrieved Swizzy. The raccoon then jumped out my arms and I yanked Swizzy away but we were still close enough for her to get it. Once I got her to drop it, we rushed to the nearest vet. The vet happened to be done for the day and left so it was just the assistant who couldn't do anything and sent us the town shelter which was thirty minutes away (then heavy traffic). I rushed there as fast as possible but once we got there the baby raccoon had already died.

I'm so peeved because I should have brought Swizzys muzzle along, or left her tied to the tree and ran to put the raccoon in the car, or put Swizzy in the car and came back for the raccoon, I should have held tighter, or hopped on the highway to the shelter. UGH!

I'm not mad at Swizzy though, I know has a high prey drive and she was in a situation meant to fail.

A terrible photo I got of the little one while waiting for the rehabilitation center to pick up the phone.

That's a good idea. I've never given her cucumber before. I'll add that to my shopping list. Thanks!

Alright so my dog loves to go outside like any other dog would. But there is a catch. My dog is all black with a few white spots here and there. You would think she would hate being in the sun and catching the sun on her fur because it would be her hot but, No! For some strange reason my all black dog loves to sunbath and and lay on the my deck to catch the rays of sunlight. Anyone else's black dog do this? I feel like all black dogs do it but I find it weird because if I was an all black dog I would hate to be in the sun, getting extra hot with my coat of fur and such. Thanks for reading my cute and funny dog story, opinions on the story would be nice ^*^

This is her. She is a mostly black lab rescue. Sorry if the image is a bit big.

My dachshund mix does this all the time. I don't understand it, he's so little and overheats easily, yet he makes it his life goal to absorb most sun as possible :P
