Welcome to Man's Best Friend


Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love unless he's owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes. - Gene Hill

Heh, they are back at the store today. After being gone for 2-3 months.....Got yearly shots for my 5 and 15 yr old cockers today. Called for a estimate price and the actual price was twice as much as quoted...pissed.

I also knew a border collie.  I have read they're smarter.  Maybe too smart...  he was a little mischievous.  But lots of fun.

About getting a collie.  My lassie-type collie was a great friend, easily trainable, and great with children and other dogs.  He survived the south Georgia heat, but I'd think twice -- unless you can let him in for some A/C -- that coat is thick!  Died too young of heartworms -- should've vaccinated him (at the time at least, you had to do that young).  Be prepared to get matts and burrs out of that coat.

Terry, 

I have given my dog "Frosty Paws" in the past and haven't recently. I didn't know they were pulled from the store. Thanks for sharing the info. So sorry for your loss, man,

Comment by Curt Bolding on March 15, 2012 at 1:47pm

Terry-- call some of your local vets and ask them.  If anyone knows about a connection between such a product and illness in our best friends, it'll be them.

I'm thinking about getting a collie any advice
Comment by terry sperling on March 15, 2012 at 12:52pm

Does anyone have any experiences with the dog icecream "Frosty Paws"? I'm trying to find out about the recent pulling of this product -permanently from store shelves...around the same time my ten year old companion was put down with a stomach mass....

Right you are, Scott.
