What do you guys personally feed your dog when they are sick? Do you fast them or give them some rice, etc?

I give Delphine chicken and rice all day as a clean out. The boil in the bag ones! And then like normal freshly cooked chicken.

ok so just for restraining rocco on walks i want to
teach him to sit between my legs ?? but what should i call it
i already use 'between', so i can't use that.

also rocco is extremely food motivated, could
i possibly break him outta that habit ?

I call it through, Or center. Both actually smart ol dog understands whatever.

I just fast her for at least a few hours and give her something for nausea. Then later I'll see if she can hold down a treat before giving her a meal.

So. Sewing.. For dogs? I've made a few harness capes, And a couple of bandanas. Does anybody else sew for their dogs?

Also! I want a thick collar to be really flashy, And i Just like the look.. I've been thinking about scoobyandscrappys on instagram but does anybody else have any favorites?

AnnDdDDddddDd, Muscle on pitties? How? Deac has some muscle but thats just from running, And Agility ( he jumps off walls on command and it has really built up muscle!? ) I guess i'm lucky he has some natural muscle, Most people actually try to put muscle on their dogs.. Anyways, The point of my question was.. Activities to help your dog build muscle?

I lied, One more question. Tips on rear end awareness? I've taught deacon some things to help keep him out of the way, But i wish he knew how to side step, And how to go from a come straight into a heel. Right now I ask for a through ( he walks through my legs ) to put him into a heel but its complicated and awkward at times. As for like switching sides in a isle and stuff, I'd just like to keep him closer.

I haven't done a lot of sewing for Chloe yet, just an over the collar bandana for the Puppy Bowl last year...

I haven't sewn anything yet... I'm not great at it because of my super low vision. I can kind of hand sew (very ugly hand sewing lol) but I'm too scared to use a machine (yes I know they are suppose to stop if you put your hand in line of the needle but I'm wary of testing it. XD )

I might try making something Pokémon related to put on him later this month. We plan on walking around to look at decorations and haunted houses. :3

I did make him a little clay charm for his Orange collar. It's the the skull symbol from soul eater.

The charm is awesome!

Have you ever tried a no-sew blanket? I made one for Chloe but it didn't turn out great, she liked it anyway though. I know they make tape you can use instead of sewing. I wouldn't trust it for a collar but for clothes and such it might work.

EDIT: I also crochet, and have crocheted Chloe a blanket. Now I'm working on blankets for http://comfortforcritters.org/.

Thanks! I remember seeing Chloe's bandana you made when you first posted it, its as cute as I remember.

There is tape that you can use instead of sewing??? Omg thank you so much. I don't have to stab my fingers when I'm making his costume yesss. :"D
