Unlike me, they must eat only when they are *gasp* hungry!

I know when my S dog didn't eat his breakfast one day, I took him in to the vet right away - for him, I knew that meant something was wrong, even if he seemed otherwise okay. It turned out that he had a UTI, which was easily cleared up with some antibiotics. I hope that it is something as simple as that for R.<br /><br />Scary about the teenagers with guns Dog_geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797650391128520269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-49646365147029145332010-08-03T05:42:50.055-06:002010-08-03T05:42:50.055-06:00i would be concerned about R's loss of appetit...i would be concerned about R's loss of appetite too...just not a normal thing for a lab, as you said....but, with no other signs of lethargy, or GI upset, maybe it is just a fluke....<br />my Tahoe had diarrhea for a month...no other issues...finally took her in for some bloodwork and a checkup...all was normal and about a week later it clear up....stumped(i also dewormed her early on)....sokkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022641022304772371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-22774004177376604702010-08-02T21:41:24.733-06:002010-08-02T21:41:24.733-06:00Are you able to post any of this property ?

Now that they are allowed in our National Forests, I am very frightened. I just know there is going to be a beer-fueled heated argument at one of the campgrounds.

Our Hawk would never get past 78 pounds, even though he looked a little rangy to me at that weight. But on the rare occasions that we got him up to 80 pounds, he'd get sick and lose down to 75 every time! None of ours are eating great with the heat, either.<br /><br />As far as the kids with guns goes, it's just too darned bad houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-75521152640466609432010-08-02T19:23:14.629-06:002010-08-02T19:23:14.629-06:00Your columbine is beautiful.

I remember a recentish law that lifted the ban on guns in National Parks and Forests, but it seems like there AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851263591445841749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-28090216914589907852010-08-02T19:08:36.754-06:002010-08-02T19:08:36.754-06:00Our pack does the same as the Herd and Khyra.

So scary about the teens with guns, we have seen that a lot here on the river hunting for gators when I am out hiking with the dogs. Scary. Scampi has a bright orange vest he wears, not that it helps much. At least I can see him.
