This time of year I think of my childhood and things we used to do. What are some of your fun memories of fall weather.

dmartin51 Hey Humbug, We also did the leaves thing. We "had" to rake them so after we would jump in them for a while, then my father would burn them. Burning leaves always brings back that memory. My sister lives in England and she says the same thing, it's always...

We have kennel trained the puppy we have right now, so he sleeps in his kennel, but every other dog we have ever had has slept in bed with us. Does your dog have a bed of his own, or does it sleep with you at night?

dmartin51 My dogs don't sleep with me, but they have their own beds. In the summer they sleep in the bedroom with me cause I have a window AC unit in there and it's cooler. They sleep in the closet. It's a double door closet and they each sleep on one side. In the...

We got my dog from an animal rescue place. She is a hound mix named Lilly. When we decided to get her, we thought about naming her something else so we could choose it ourselves. However, we just thought "Lilly" was too cute to...

dmartin51 I've always liked to call my dogs unusual names. My black lab is named after a Gone With The Wind character "Katie Scarlett". My yellow lab got his name in a more endearing way. My chocolate lab Quincey died the same night my best freinds father died, so to...

dmartin51 You know I've never thought much about this until now. I've never thought much about it when I take my dogs to the vet because I "assume" everyone there is an animal lover so they wouldn't hurt them. My dogs are pretty friendly and I wouldn't worry about...

dmartin51 Well, I've fed my dogs chocolate cake and they're still alive. I've given them all kinds of sweets and they are fine. Chocolate can be a problem, but only if they eat just chocolate and lots of it. I mean like solid chocolate, not something with...

dmartin51 I have two Labs, Katie Scarlett and Cohen. Kate got her name from one of my favorite movies Gone With The Wind ( Scarlett O'Hara). Kate is black like Scarlett's hair and can sometimes be hard headed. Cohen's story is a bit more interesting. I had a chocolate...

dmartin51 Hi Warrior, Are you looking to get a dog? If so it depends on how much time and energy you're willing to give them. I have 2 Labs (13 & 11 ) so they are pretty sedate, sometimes. I really appreciate mutts too, I think they have just as much personality and...

dmartin51 Humbug: Good idea!! I don't have a dryer so why not, as long as the clothes don't have metal buttons or zippers LOL. So now in the winter when the weather is not so great I can stand in front of the microwave all day drying clothers. ;-)

dmartin51 My microwave was a gift and about the only thing I really use it for is to heat up the dogs food. I buy the large cans and use 1/3 of it each day to mix with their dry food, so to take the chill off I put some water in it and heat it up. I don't even use...

I have a dog that is almost 12. I know she's getting old but she doesn't want to play with anything. It's not that she can't move or run or anything like that. She can still do that. I just can't get her to chase anything like a...

dmartin51 I too have an older dog (13) and I'm just glad he can get up the porch steps every day. My younger dog (11) is a bit more frisky. She's a very happy dog in general. I don't know if maybe bringing treats into the mix would help but I haven't ever met a dog that...
