WARNING: Dogs Can Fall Out Of Car Windows... Even When They're Rolled Up!

| Comments (2)

destin-black-lab-car-ride.jpgIt happened to me. With a 60 lb. Black Lab at 7 months of age. And the car was moving!

Lately, I've been seeing so many people riding around with their dogs in the car. Some have the windows completely down. Others have the windows partially rolled up, hoping to keep their dog from jumping out.

I'm here to tell you: A dog can fall out of a window that is half-way or even most of the way rolled up!

Here's my story...

puppy-going-back-indoors.jpgA visitor to this site recently emailed me this question:

I have rescued a puppy and she is a spoiled rotten brat, and she won't quit peeing on my carpet. What can I do? I've tried kenneling her and she gets out everytime. Thank you."

Note to self:

Don't replant tree seedlings at dogs-eye-level if you have a dog that thinks sticks are toys!

We've taught 2 of our 3 dogs to pray. (It appears that Tenor is still trying to find his 'spiritual self'.)

 

Can Your Dog Help You Find The TV Remote?

Sad news in the world of television (...and in the eyes of my dog, Jersey, may he rest in peace).

dog-with-remote-control.jpg The inventor of the remote control, Robert Adler, died last Thursday.

Jersey (an American Eskimo) loved the remote control. Somehow, early in his puppyhood, I must've given him so much praise one time for "bringing it to me" that he actually begged for occasions in which he could "bring me the remote".

Have you taught your dog to pray yet?

We did. Now, they pretty much pray on their own these days.

  • Our dog pooping. The long-awaited poop. There was so much in there, he actually went 3 times in a matter of seconds. A very proud moment.
  • Tenor is pretty much back to his old self these days -- 8 days after surgery. Now he's just bored.
  • Tenor is eating fine and getting around okay 8 days after surgery -- but he still won't put much weight on his foot.
  • Our dog is resting on a bed sheet out in the backyard after TPLO surgery.
  • Tenor dog is crouching down into a seated position -- on top of the bad leg! It didn't phase him at all. By the way the tongue action is because he'd just had a drink of water.
  • Here, Tenor is lying directly on his bad leg. No worries. The only thing that was difficult for him during the first week of recovery was lying down on bulky things like blankets and dog pillows. It seemed to put extra pressure on parts of his leg.
  • Ice cubes are good for a dog right after surgery. I don't think our dog ate or drank much while he was in the hospital. He seemed to be running a fever, and he couldn't get enough water and ice cubes.
  • Here you can see how bad the swelling is in the right rear ankle -- and this is while he's lying down! The swelling was on top of the foot, as well as in the ankle.
  • A closeup of our dog's stitches and bruising after TPLO surgery.
  • The x-rays of our dog's leg, post-surgery. This is his right rear leg. The metal plate is on the inside of his leg, the screws point to the outside of his leg.
  • Dr. Beckman is showing us how to place a towel under his belly/groin area, then with both ends of the towel in your hand, lift the dog's back-end up so the toes don't touch the ground.
  • Tenor is wishing he could just go to sleep and not feel so uncomfortable any more.
