Raven update!!!!!!!!

2012-06-13T07:16:00.003-05:00

Coconut oil helps a little bit but not enough. I have pictures now so you can see how bad she looks.

She's bleeding above and below her eye

Fur lost on her hind legs and front legs. Her elbow has elephant skin.

All over her there are patches of fur gone

Poor thing! She's miserable! The vet that she's going to sucks and is uncaring, so we're trying to find a new one.

I forgot to do one on her B-day! Sorry.
Today Raven has been very itchy scratchy and miserable :( She's been losing fur constantly and the floor needs to be swept like every 2 hours to keep the dog hair off. But today I think I've found a remedy for her itchy skin: coconut oil! Hope it works!

No picture today :(

Not an everyday blog

2012-04-24T12:07:00.002-05:00

I realized it's just to hard to post a Raven update everyday and I haven't been lately. So, for that reason this will not be updated everyday, only on the important ones. Raven's birthday is coming up on May 13! I'll be sure to post a Raven update then. She's gonna be two!

Raven Update!!!!

2012-03-11T19:44:00.004-05:00

Oops forgot another day. Well anyway it's been raining a lot today so Raven has spent most of today inside sleeping, as usual. She sleeps to much. Oh well, what can I do? Answer : nothing.

Oops

2012-03-09T07:22:00.002-06:00

I forgot to post a Raven update yesterday! Well here's yesterday's.

Today (yesterday I'm just doing it like it was yesterday) Raven has once again been sleepy. She has spent some time outside playing though. Well anyway she's been a good dog.

Raven's sleepy face ZZZZZZZZZZ

Labrador Color

2012-03-07T17:59:00.000-06:00

Labrador Retrievers come in three main colors, black, yellow, and chocolate. Those three colors can come in many different shades. Yellow can be so much lighter that some people believe that white is one of the Labrador's colors. White is not a color of the Lab. People also think that there is a silver Labrador. This is false, it is just another shade of one of the three main colors.

Raven update!!!!

2012-03-07T15:19:00.002-06:00

Today Raven has been very sleepy. She's probably slept over half the day so far. I think that's a lot for her. Other than that she's been normal ( for Raven normal is very sweet).

Isn't she beautiful?

(I like to kiss her nose)

Polls

2012-03-06T15:19:00.001-06:00

I have two polls right now and I would like if you did them. One is at the bottom of my page and the other is on the side bar. I'll have the results up for one of them on April 1and the other one March 20.

The Top Breed

2012-03-06T15:02:00.001-06:00

The dog breed that is number one out of all of the dog breeds is the Labrador Retriever. The Labrador is also know for being the best family dog. That's why I chose (and recommend) the Lab. Labradors have been the most popular breed for 27 years and have many uses such as hunting, being a guide dog, being a family pet (my favorite), and many more. Labradors also love to swim even in cold icy water,and they shed a lot (Mine sheds so much that the house needs a nice good long sweeping a day). Second place goes to the Golden Retriever also a good family dog. So if you are considering buying a dog I highly recommend one of the retrievers (Labrador or Golden). Even though I prefer Labs you may want something else, maybe something less active. Labs require lots of play and walks, a minimum of an hour and a half a day (WOW)! That's why my Lab spends a lot of time outside during the day.

Raven update!!!!

2012-03-06T11:34:00.002-06:00

Today Raven has been a good dog and so far has been outside most of the day. She isn't an outside dog though. She sleeps inside, comes in when it rains, and stays in and sleeps for about 4-8 hours a day.(I mean day not night). I'm not sure if I said this before but Raven is very small for a Labrador. I think she weighs about 45 pounds, the normal weight for a Lab is 60-90 pounds. I love my L L ( little Lab )

Trick Time

2012-03-05T11:40:00.003-06:00

Every once in awhile I'll post how to teach a trick. Today's trick will be the the easy sit trick. If your dog loves treats(like most of them do) this will be easy to teach.

Step 1 Place a dog treat in your hand and show your dog that you are holding a treat.

Step 2 Turn you hand sideways with your palm facing up and balance the treat. Then move your hand upward. Most dogs will sit like mine did.

Step 3 If you dog sat tell him/her good sit and give it the treat.

Note that this will take about 3 days to a week and a half (not sure).

Having trouble?

If your dog will not listen then try one of these methods

Hold the treat in your hand facing down and move it up. Then after a few days use the regular method.

If your dog still won't listen try use something other than a treat like a small rawhide or a piece of meat.

Remember to!

When you're finished training for the day or right then make sure you end off on a high note so you dog will be eager to do it again the next time.

You'll have to go over the commands frequently so he/she will not forget.

If you follow the instructions carefully this will happen

Your dog will sit

Raven's Favorite Games

2012-03-04T14:51:00.000-06:00

Raven mainly likes three games and I'll list them all on order from favorite to least.

1st fetch
2nd chase
3rd tug of war

Or sometimes Raven likes to play all three. First I throw a toy for her to fetch then when she comes back to give it to me I chase her around the living room. After I grab the toy we both pull on it till she lets go.

Raven update!!!!!

2012-03-04T13:54:00.001-06:00

I don't have much to say about Raven today because she's been outside mostly. Also Raven has wanted lots of love today.

Sorry I forgot to do this yesterday

Raven update

2012-03-02T10:51:00.001-06:00
