Lady next door used to foster beagles and they ranged from calm to Howlmania. Think it depends on how raised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I have had 2 beagle mixes and they hardly barked/howled. It just depends on what dog you adopt. Most of them do but there are some that don't do it that much.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 2 more days until we go pick out our puppy. I can't wait, even though I hope to be moving out within the next year and it will be my parents dog for 95% of it's life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full beagles are just made to howl, I think the mix takes a little bit out of them Most hounds love to bark and howl though, it's what they are supposed to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Got to visit the puppy today. Although we had pick of the litter, unfortunately ALL the other puppies in that litter died. Apparently Brittany's are known for being terrible mothers sometimes, and the mom of this litter didn't really give a s*** about letting the pups feed on her, and she even rolled over on at least 1 of them and killed them (she's a fatty too). The owners were tube feeding the puppies for a couple weeks, but they slowly died one by one I guess. Really sad, but we are looking at this positively and saying that the one we are getting must have been the strongest and/or smartest. They have since gotten the lone surviving puppy to be taken in by another dog they have that gave birth recently, so she is being fostered by another mom at the moment. We get her in 2-3 weeks, and she is a beautiful little pup. Edited September 28, 2014 by Chilihead90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thanks, me too! Part of me is worried about getting too attached until we finally have her in our possession, and another part of me is saying she is probably in the clear and now she has a mother that appears to actually want to care for her. So I'm obviously not trying to think negatively, but I'm being cautiously optimistic until we finally bring her home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an expert or anything so I am not sure if it is bad for a puppy to feed from another dog that isn't it's mother. I am sure it isn't a big deal and she will be just fine.

It's the same breed, just a different mom and a slightly younger litter. The important part, I would think, is that the puppy is still going to grow up with other puppies it's age and learn to socialize. It being raised as an "only-puppy" would probably lend itself to an anti-social dog, or one that may not make friends with other dogs in the future. So it's good to know she will have peers like normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 My cat has to get basically all of her teeth pulled due to periodontal disease. But her lower jaw (mandible) is so compromised that the regular vet doesn't feel confident pulling her lower canines, so we'll need to go see a veterinarian oral surgeon. That'll probably run another $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 We lost both of our dogs in the last 3 years. It's hard to start again because of fear of loss. You just have to decide if 10-15 years of joy is worth a year of pain. Unfortunately, they say that pets are just heartbreak waiting to happen.

It's tough to even think about our dog dying. We adopted her last year when she was 2, she is 3 now so we hope we still have at least 10 years more years with her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad told me when i was older that he came home before we got home from school and she was in severe distress, and when they got her to the vet they said she had no chance. It really sucks because they cant tell you what is going on, and stuff sneaks up on them and you have no idea until you are at the vet at 3 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 If our one cat lives to be about 18 and our dog and other cat both live typical lifespans, we're probably looking at all three going within a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Better to have loved, and lost, than to have never loved at all. Every day I come home from work and my great dane comes jumping at me will make him leaving me worth it. Just the thought of him not being around at some time is enough to make me shudder, but you just need to take advantage of the times you have. For instance, he happens to have pink toenails on his front paws right now because my wife thinks he is a princess and decided to paint his nails. It's funnier than s*** seeing this big blue dog running at me with hot pink nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah, for as much as it sucks losing a dog, or a pet in general I guess, not having one after having one your whole life is really s***ty as well. I think these last 5 months, and actually it's been EXACTLY 5 months now since our dog passed, may be the longest I've ever gone without a dog in my life. I was born w/ a dog in the family already. Whenever my brother comes over, he always brings his golden and I love having her over. She absolutely will not stop squealing with excitement when I say hi to her because she knows I will play with her all day if she wanted to. Very much looking forward to that stage of our new puppy once we get her house broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
