ADA does not register dogs as far as I know. The ADA is what regards Service Dog laws. It stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act. AKC, CKC, UKC and APRI are the companies that register dogs.

I'm come down with a pretty nasty cold, and Olive has been soo good. She's been cuddling and napping with me and hasn't gotten destructive depsite me not being able to walk her. I'm proud.
I wonder if its that she has a really good "off-switch" or just that she's a lazy dog. I guess we won't know until she grows out of her puppy crazies.

So my best friend moved in because of her living situation at the place she's renting. She's pregnant.
It's so funny watching the one dog that doesn't like anyone change from growling to sucking up to her and just wanting to love her.

Also
It's so funny watching them sniff her belly and then get nudged by the baby moving.

The dogs look so confused when it happens :lol: :lol:

I did something stupid by mistake. I left a full box of sterile alcohol prep pads where the Jasper could reach them. He's never been the destructive type of dog and is usually really good about not get into things but he grabbed the bag with the box in it down and chewed it up. He shredded the entire bag and box and tore open and bit into a lot of the prep pads. I was gone all day so I'm not sure when he did this. I shouldn't of left it there. So far he seems perfectly fine though and I'm gonna be watching him closely overnight. At least they most likely taste bad so I can't imagine he swallowed a lot luckily.

Uggggg my sister's dog messed up Gizzy's pen before I got home again. She refuses to admit Snookie has done anything wrong despite all of the evidence I've given. How do I make Snookie stop messing up Gizzy's pen and still have Gizzy be able to stay on the pen?

The easiest is to keep Snookie out of Gizzy's pen in the first place.

Taiger Lilly: That's absolutely adorable! I imagine Aika would just nip me because in her mind playing makes everything better lol. I hope you feel better soon!

Me and Aika are going to my moms for a few days because she's in town. She's been gone for months because she decided to try out being a traveling nurse. I'm excited but I'm not sure if she has internet since she's been gone a while. On the bright side (besides seeing my mom) I get to work on Aika's leash training in a quieter setting.. we have a train track and police station next to my apartment so it's always noisy outside.

So, we ended up giving Cooper back to the shelter. They ended up finding a much better home for him and him and Xeno were starting to fight a little and I really didn't want that to progress into anything more serious.

Xeno is neutered but for some reason, he's still aggressive and dominating of other male dogs??? We might just have to settle for a female dog, my SO really really wanted another male dog, but that may not be able to happen. Is Xeno just territorial? Maybe that's something that doesn't go away with neutering?? I really don't know, I've owned female dogs all my life and Xeno really is my first male dog.


More beautiful brown puppy dog eyes.


he lov the chinscratch


Barking at everyone who gets too close to the front gate gets tiring haha.

It's fairly common for neutered dogs to show agression to unneutered ones. You would think it would be the other way around. I've seen it happen at dog parks where neutered males will be playing fine with others but suddenly become very touchy with the intact dog when one shows up.
Not sure if that was the problem or not, could also be that he just doesn't tolerate pups. Hopefully you can find a male that your SO likes and Xeno can get along with. If Cooper wasn't neutered maybe look at seeing if he's okay with neutered dogs?
