[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 531483, member: 455"] Yes, feeding times are issues here too. We have to feed them separately and with separate bowls. Sadie is picky and won't eat certain foods (she's a scent hound so that is part of it), Jasmyn could care less and will eat anything from anything. They would fight over food. They don't fight over treats and can hand out a treat to each at same time oddly enough. Chews are a problem for Sadie, she generally doesn't get them but when she does, they are given to her in our bedroom at night away from Jasmyn (she sleeps in our room, Jasmyn in oldest difficult child's room, both doors are shut). Sadie also doesn't play with any toys at all. Jasmyn will play with any toy. She's great for stealing stuffed animals of the younger difficult child's. Something I learned recently was that Frontline is an issue. There was a study done and in FL, known for BIG flea problems, it no longer is effect as the fleas have become immune to it. I was told that it has been known to not be effective in many other places as well. We've had problems with both that and Advantix not working. Apparently in TN there is a big problem with heartworms (worse then other places I don't know). Many of the rescue agencies make it mandatory as part of their adoption contracts that you have to have your dog on heartworm medicine, not that you wouldn't want to but I guess some don't do it. I was upset that the new addition, Jasmyn, came to us from the rescue agency [I]with[/I] hookworms! They are suppose to be so thorough on all this and in their own contract make it a point of all these "must do's" etc...and here they are giving away furkids that are infested with worms. I feel for the other dogs that were in the foster home with Jasmyn (about 7 other dogs). If Jasmyn had them so bad as to make her have bloody diarrhea, vomiting and not gaining weight then she had them for a while and they MUST have noticed this??!! No? I'm just glad the difficult child could save her and that the rescue did too as this particular agency rescues them only within the last 24 hours before they will be euthanized. It is a specialized agency that takes in "exceptional" dogs. She had been in foster care for at least 6 weeks before we got her. Sorry to rant a little and hijack your thread. I'm glad it seems you are having continued good luck with your Sadie. I think you will continue to. [/QUOTE]
