My labs have carved a "race" track around my small backyard and whenever it rains, this dirt turns to mud and they are always muddy, then track it in the house. I cannot get grass to grow there. Does anyone have a good idea of something to put down over it (somekind of bark / mulch) to keep the mud away? Thanks in advance to your suggestion.

First off I do have an appointment at the vet on Tuesday at 9am(It is Sunday at 5:35pm)

Little History

I just got a 5 month old Shih Tzu.

Here is the only thing that is really "wrong" which from some reason is pointing to her being "stressed" since she was 5 months old when I took her from her "mother/owner"

She will play/rough house/eat/rest/etc but will be panting most of the time. Like she is hot(I know panting is dogs way of "sweating"). She will keep running and playing and get water and it does not seem to be affecting her. If you pick her up and love on her or take her outside to go to the bathroom she will not be panting.

When she is resting/napping she is definitely breathing/panting harder than it seems like she should be. I have an appointment at the vet for Thursday but I think I am going to do my best to switch it to Monday/Tuesday.

Thanks for any peace of mind you guys can give me until Tuesday Or warnings. She has all her shots/clear bill of health up to this point

Some people prefer to feed there dogs any kind of bone...Although others prefer to feed there dogs only milk bones. Is it bad to feed regular bones to dogs?

I am at odds with myself because somehow I didn't pick up on the symtoms. She was 14 years old and I noticed she was sleeping a lot, but I thought it was because she was aging. Her appetite was good, as usual. I feel as though I could have done something more. I hate to think that I caused her to suffer.

I have a yorkie and she is 3 years old and when i walk her she WILL get the fleas.. She starts to get red, gets alot of scabs, and I sometime see fleas sometimes so i brush her with a flea brush and take her a shower.
I dont use flea medicines.
I have used:
Frontline
Advantage
and other products thats cheaper
But they never work on my dog.

So when i walk my dog she get's the fleas, but when my other freinds walk there dog there dog doesnt get ANY fleas.
They dont even itch one bit
But my dog does!!
My freinds type of dog is-
Maltese/Poodle- 3 years old
Jack Russel Terrior- 1 years old

Is there a reason for this?
Why does only my dog get it?
I have a freind and he has a yorkie to and that yorkie never gets the fleas but mine does..

I had a dog when I was 12 years old. She helped me make it through all the rough teenage years. 15 years later she passed away and I am having a hard time trying to grasp the issue of grief. It has been 10 months since she has been gone but I am continually driving myself insane with it. Sometimes I think she is still there because I hear sounds and/or have vivid dreams about her. People are constantly pestering me to get another dog but i'm so affraid to get attached again. When is it the right time to go to a grief counciler?--Do people even go to these for lost animals? and is it even important to go or will it eventually pass with time?
