Thanks! I will give him a call this week.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable farrier that will travel to Prince Frederick? I have two horses. One just needs a trim. The other has always been barefoot but is currently dealing with a huge abscess. My vet had to carve out a large amount of the sole and recommends that...

Her number is 301-384-3900. You'll probably have to leave a message but she will get back to you quickly. The appointments are expensive but well worth it. I can't believe how much better my dog is now. I wish I had done this sooner! Good luck with your dog.

My old boxer had bad seizures starting when he was just over a year until the time he died, when he was 10. We finally got them under control but never totally eliminated them. The vet gave him valium a couple of times because that was the only way to get him to stop but it wasn't something...

Was this a chestnut gelding, owner's name starts with a "D"? If so, I used to board with her. Anyway, I'm sure this is a very difficult time for her. I lost my pony to heart problems. It's so hard when this happens all the sudden.

If you're coming north on 4 you can turn left on Sixes Rd, and then another left onto Grays Rd. Once you're on Grays Rd, the dog park is on your left. There is a sign there now so it's easier to see. They have also put benches in. Enjoy!

The Gentle Leader is a great tool but like Cattitude already said, you have to introduce it slowly. What I do is put the neck strap on and feed treats, once the dog seems okay with that, put the nose loop on and feed more treats. Do this several times a day and your dog will get used to it...

bpoint, When have you been going? I've been a few times on weekday mornings and no one else is there, but lately I've been going in the evenings and there have been other dogs there. Maybe we could set up a time to meet there? I have 2 dogs of my own plus one foster dog. They play rough...

Actually there is a new dog park in Calvert. It's on Grays Road which is off of Rt 4, just a bit south of Prince Frederick. Last time I was there, they had just put water in but still didn't have any benches, so you might want to bring a chair or something. I had been going in the morning...

Chesapeake Kennel Club does basic obedience, formal obedience, Rally, and CGC. No schutzhund, tracking, etc. I've been in more obed. classes with my dogs than I'd like to admit and I've seen just about any breed you can think of, so yes you would be fine going there with a GS.

I had a Boxer that had seizures and also had hypothyroidism. The thyroid issue was discovered about a year after the seizures started (which was just before he turned 2.) He had very bad clusters of seizures and even after he started medicine for his thyroid, the phenobarb could never be cut...
