A family from Russia moved to an area where I was living in NC and could not take care of this sweet animal, so he joined me and my husband is now happy!
Pet likes:
I love how my dog lays in the bed with me while my husband is in Iraq to make sure I am okay, and how he chases his tail around and can walk down the road with me without a leash and stay right beside of me... very much respect!
Pet dislikes:
I could never dislike anything about my dog, and if I were asked to, I would have to say that he can't ''talk''... lol I bet he'd have alot to say!
Pet’s favorite spot:
He has a ''miesta'', which is ''HIS SAFE PLACE'' on his bed beside of mine.. but since my husband has left for Iraq, his new miesta seems to be in the bed with me! haha
Pet’s favorite toy:
He lovesss stuffed animals or pull toys, he could also play soccer with you all day long!
Pet’s silliest habit:
Chasing his tail
Pet’s sweetest moments:
How he can tell I'm upset/sad and he lays across me and snuggles me.
I crack up when my pet:
Barks at flies haha
My pet is unique because:
He has one floppy ear and one that stands up straight, he reminds me of scooby doo.. just very smart and well-trained.

Per your post about your dog and summer... try this and keep him indoors...
Found too indoor dog potty's... not cheap, but so worth it for your kid with fur and peace of mind for you too:

The Indoor Dog Restroom.
This mat-and-tray system gives dogs a place to relieve themselves when they can't get outside for respite. Ideal for high-rise dwelling dogs, when owners aren't home, or even just for times of harsh weather, this ingenious system uses a mat made of antimicrobial porous artificial turf that gives off an organic scent to attract dogs, so they can be taught quickly that it is an acceptable spot for relieving themselves. The mat sits on top of a plastic insert which allows liquid to drain into the included tray for easy clean-up. The turf yarn is a unique construction specially designed for use with dogs, and its antimicrobial composition helps prevent odors. The tray is easy to empty and can hold up to two gallons of liquid. 1" H x 30" W x 20" L. (6 1/2 lbs.)
you definitely need a tax attorney!! sometimes they will back down when they hear from a lawyer, sometimes the don't . from now on keep track of all conversations with them ( dates , who u talked to and stuff like that) if you can , record a conversation, it might be hard to prove some stuff, but you said that they claimed to have talked to your hubby right, all you need is one thing to make them look discredible. and the rest can fall into place. i don't know much about state stuff, but i know HR block are a sh**tty ( excuse the reference) company. talk to the better business bureau also, see about filing a complaint with them. i hope this all works out for you. what a horrible thing for them to be doing to you. if you can get a lawyer and prove in court that they created this problem maybe you can also sue them for your lawyer fees and whatever extra penalties that you had accrued due to there unprofessionalism. i wish you luck!!!!!
I'm glad you got the dog to the vet. It must have been hard for both of you, and now you may want to spend a bit of time researching URI's and what you need to know, because they can be 1) extremely painful, (if you've ever had one, it is the same), and 2) very dangerous, since toxins build up in the system and an infection can spread, etc. Probably an adjustment in diet would help: no grains in his diet, and a high protein/low carb food, there are lots of good books out there, some out for decades (such as Pitcairns's) and good holistic medicine books (such as Martin Goldstein's); take a look at www.drmwfox.org for lots of interesting articles on more natural diet. Good luck!
i'm not sure how much help i will be but i will try . ( i lost alot of memory and speech when i had my accident , so the ol' brain isn't as good as it once was, but if i don't know i will attempt to find out for you. by the way you and hubby are a real cute couple!! :)
A good vet that you develop a relationship with, may be willing to make payment arrangements, if you are frank and up-front about it. A good vet would not want you to have to wait for payday if your dog is in distress. Where I live it is horribly expensive, and the vets are quite casual about the costs, as if because the overall county is so wealthy, they could not conceive of how difficult it may be to pay. As the economy worsens this will worsen for vets as well. Some people are actually surrendering their pets owing to costs, and others won't adopt because of the fear of costs. When this is over maybe you might be a candidate for pet insurance, although perhaps that is not practical. A better solution might be to put aside $10 a week into a pet health fund, that worked for me (just transferred it into a specific savings account every paycheck), in a couple of months it is automatic and you don't miss it, then there is not as much stress when vet problems or a necessary visit arrives. When this is over, try transitioning to a more natural diet, meat-based, high protein/low carb with NO grains, it will pay off for you.
i totally agree that all dogs, whatever the breed, should be on a leash. i had a german shepard for 13 years and he was a gentle giant and very well trained. i had a pure pitbull for 10 years and she also was a gentle, sweet dog. i now have a pitbul…
