So sorry for you and dear boy. I'm not sure if this is exactly relevant but my OH had cataract surgery and his vision is excellent. He needs...
Hi and welcome to the forum. I thought I was the only one with a fussy eater, though Johnny is a lab hound mix. When did you adopt him? Is it...

How exciting! We have a soon to be 3 yo and an 8 mo. In hindsight ... You might figure out some way for the older dog to get away from the puppy...
Hi and welcome. I feel your pain. Ouch. It might be helpful to explain to your kids that the puppy loves them and wants to play but she uses her...
