At the beginning, you can see there's a piece of carpet in front of the box, presumably to help keep critters from tracking litter all over their laundry room. It looks to me like the raccoon was trying to jump away from the mat.

she's standing next to a space heater because I had just given her a bath to dry her off. 2 and half years old.

lol. she looks like she's a sweet dog.

ya she is. She loves people, she's never barked at anybody or other dogs, she just sort of whines when other dogs are around cause she wants to play with them.

My guess is the "No, no, no" might have been due to the raccoon grabbing a cat turd to take with it on exit of the litter box... :D not entirely sure.

You can vaccinate a coon just like you would a cat too. Many times you give them the same vaccines that you would give to a cat or ferret. That's what the old vet back home does.

Not to sound racist, but your dog needs to smile so I can distinguish it from the background...

my female lab is the same way. though, she doesn't bark often, when she does you can bet there's something outside etc.

all she wants is belly rubs etc. she'll just sit next to me, leaning against my leg, or on my feet.

dogs rule

ya, she is the first black lab or any lab for that matter that I've had. All she knows is love. I had german shepards and a doberman when I was growing up, so this is a whole new type of dog for me. Dogs are just awesome.

Heh, my Catahoula is a leaner too. That’s actually what sold me on her since my chocolate lab before her was a leaner.
We got her from a rescue group, when we went to meet her I scratched her behind the ears and when she looked up at me and leaned on my leg I said, “Damnit. We’ve got a dog again.”

we picked her up from a shelter. we were navigating through all the cages etc in sort of a line of people etc. everyone in front of us was whistling, trying to get her to come up to the front of the cage. She was having none of it; just leaning against the back of the cage.

I walked up, her tail thumped on the ground, and she came right up to the front of the cage.


...damnit....another dog. lol

My poor kitty has a ruptured gland in her rectum. They'll have to sedate her to closely examine it and clean it out. No wonder she stopped eating. I wouldn't want to poop either! She should get to come home tonight though. She also has the joy of getting an antibiotic shot and being sent home with pain medicine. At least it's liquid. I hate stuffing pills down her throat.

rectum? Hell, it damn near killed um

You don't routinely express your cat's anal glands?

You should probably try to do it once every few days... ROFL... no, I'm not serious...

Hope your kitty gets better soon!

As much as I love my cat, I don't think I could do that...lol. I wonder if kitty pain meds feel the same to a cat that human pain meds feel to us. If so, then she'll be feeling pretty good for the next couple of weeks.
