The traditional treatment from what I can tell is basically like arsenic, and the dog has to be very still/ confined for the treatments which is at least 2 months. If that is the only way to do it, I will do it to save Luke's life, but my main reason for wanting to explore the alternative...

My kids are 8 and 6. They play outside by themselves, and have been for a couple years. We live in a rural area though, and our neighborhood is not very developed yet. Although I'm not stupid and I know there are "bad guys" everywhere, my main fear isn't people getting them, but coyotes...

No. she researched it on her own and her vet said that she had patients go the natural route, but she still wanted her to do the traditional treatment. So, basically my friend did it on her own. I still haven't heard from my vet yet. Unless he has some really convincing reason not to do the...

Ok, I have another question. As you know we found out Luke has heartworms. Have any of you heard of treating Heartworms Naturally/Holistically ? I mentioned to my neighbor that Luke has heartworms, and she told me she treated her rescue with a combination of Wormwood, Black Walnut and Cloves...

Awwww! Thanks:goodvibes

You are awesome, taking all this time to give your doggie wisdom:goodvibes I never would have thought of letting Luke sniff my chi( Wally) from behind! They did get pretty close last night, DH was holding Lukes leash and I was holding Wally. They were both just looking at each other and...

Pea, I mentioned that our last shepherd was white... I will try to get DS to play ball with him( Luke already has been slobbering on 3 tennis balls) I can tell he really wants to play with him, he is still really nervous. He literally sits at my glass door and tells Luke he is gonna play...

No, they haven't met yet! DS wants to talk to him through the glass door, but he doesn't want to get near him yet. This is great advice though! I actually thought of this today, DS is just a little over eye level to Luke, so I can see how he is scared. I will try having DH sitting in the yard...

Here he is...Luke! I'm just excited I figured out out how to post a photo!

Yes, this is true, my kids will absolutely not be left alone with the Dog....I don't let them walk up to strange dogs at the park, and this is no different. I don't know this dog, but over time, we will.

Another update.... Just got back from the vet with Luke. He was very nervous going in the building and to the exam room. He got blood drawn, vaccines given and all that good stuff, and he was on his best behavior. He didn't try to resist or bite anyone, the staff seemed to think his...

It went pretty well....DD8 went right up to him....slowly, and offered a hand to him, and he nudged her and she pet him on his back. He was wagging his tail the whole time. DS6 was afraid of him and backed away and went inside, he has been watching him through the glass door, and says he will...

You are giving me some great advice, I really appreciate you taking the time! You are right, my kids grew up with our old GSD.They are 8 and 6 now. Our old GSD was 3 when DD came home from the hospital. So, this is a completely different situation. I am gonna have to really have to change my...

We are lucky as far as where we live. We live in a somewhat underdeveloped neighborhood, with very little traffic, and we are surrounded by 150 acres of woods that my family owns, so we have room to tucker him out. I walked him this morning, DH came too, but I had the leash. We were confronted...

He seems very sweet. He is already very attached to DH. I held his leash while DH walked around to the back yard, and he began whimpering but not barking, he was sort of jumping and pulling to get to him, and I tried to comfort him, but it's like I wasn't even there, the dog completely ignored...

Thanks for the great advice. The boat hasn't sailed on the meet n greet. My kids are spending the night with a friend. They have no idea about the dog. As far as the other animals....they have seen the new dog through a glass door, but haven't met. I'm really afraid of one chomp and bye-bye...

I'm gonna look this up, Thanks! This is kinda reassuring that you posted this, because after DH brought him home, he took him for a long walk in the woods and then brought him home and put him in his crate. So, wow! We did something right:goodvibes

I normally feel this way too....when DH first said he wanted one, I naturally thought puppy. I don't know....I definitely have no intention of putting my kids or other pets in harms way, I will be introducing them very slowly...and the dog will be leashed. DH says we will take baby steps. But...

DH recently tells me he wants a GSD puppy for his birthday. I began searching online. About 3 hours ago, I was online looking for a puppy when he calls me on his cell. He asks me to come outside to the driveway. I go out there and he says" I've been bad" I look in the car and there in the back...

That is crazy!!! We are Wednesday at 1:10!!! We will see you there! As far as being sick, I hope you have a miraculous turn a round and feel great tomorrow! I don't know if you have the crud, or stomach bug, but when I am congested/cold kinda sick....I swear by Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. It...
