I just got an email for Halloween costumes. I thought everyone could use a good chuckle today. Personally, I don't think I could survive putting on a costume on Ayasha. It was tough putting on a birthday hat on her last year. Here is the link, enjoy: http://shopping.yahoo.com/search;_ylc=X3oDMTJkZGc5Y20wBF9TAzc4NDcwNjg2MwRwb3MDNARzZWMDZW1haWxfaGFsbG93ZWVuX29jdDEwLTIwMTFfdjAEc2xrA3Byb2RfY29zdHVtZXNmb3JwZXRz?p=pet+costumes&did=0 Frank | |

Cal, Roxy and Wallace are delighted to report that canines dressing up for Halloween isn't very big in Scotland! Hee hee! xox | |

(Will go back to raw pig pancreas soon.) Three meals a day 3 times per week, 2 meals a day the other 4 days otherwise he stops eating. Tylan 1/8 teaspoon twice a day (this is half the recommended dose for his weight but the recommended dose made his poos soft!) Synbiotic D-C (probiotic and prebiotic) capsule once a day. Monthly B12 injection.

Not sure yet, might stay in Austin, might go to Lubbock. It really just depends on how things work out. I haven't even unpacked from my last move, so I just need to roll up with a truck and I'm ready. | |

Ya'll are too funny.... if anyone does deck out their pups for Halloween... take lots and lots of pictures.....so we can see! | |

-- Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 7 yrs! Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.

Kathy, you always crack me up! I can never get anything near Kolby by way of dressing up. He COULD go as a ball holder.....put a ball in that boy's mouth and he will go anywhere......but that is not very original. Barb | |

I think that's a very good idea for Kolby. Or maybe you could put a watch on him and he could be a watch dog! | |

Ok, I'd like to say as a general rule I do not dress up my dogs for Halloween.....however, as you can see from the photo (yes, finally got around to putting one on) I'd be a liar if I said I have never done it. I think Star has tried on every hand-me-down costume from my daughter....a clown, Winnie the Pooh, yes the ballarina tutu..........poor thing. | |

I think it is horrible to dress your dogs up in silly costumes for Halloween, it is really torture for them, for our own enjoyment. NOT!!!! These were 2 years ago, but, they look the same really, Kain still looks like a pup and Angel, well, she may be a bit thinner. The girls are bigger of course.In typical Nicole fashion, it just wouldn't be a posting if I didn't | |

Nature's Variety, TOTW, Back to Basics, California Natural, all in monthly rotation, Let enzymes set 30 min. Low weight, 48 lbs, down from high of ONLY 66. Bi-Weekly B-12 shot of 1.4ml.

Loving the Halloween pics guys!!! Jackie is in a therapy fashion show tomorrow and Mark will be taking her instead of me. I spared him walking a dog in a pink tutu and just picked up this firefighter outfit - thought Mark may feel more comfortable that way LOL!!! And....tomorrow is Jackie's 3rd BD...so BD hat pic will follow tomorrow!!

Well, I just couldn't resist this costume. They are called pajamas for dogs from Target. Addie actually doesn't mind wearing it! | |

Hello I rarely post but I do check in once in awhile and I couldn't resist this one. I love to dress my dogs up, not that I subject them to this often, unless it's cold and Miss Claire needs a sweater. But what better time than Halloween............................ We continue to struggle with the diabetes, high numbers, low numbers we have em all. Dr Stewart has run out of options and referred us to an internal med doc at MSU. Claire has an appointment on Monday, so we'll see what they have to say. She continues to amaze me, she's not going to let diabetes/EPI get her down. The little town I live near did a grand job of fall decorating this year, so with camera in hand, we took advantage of it.
Oh yes I can go trick or treating.........................
TRICK OR TREAT
Who's that cute little punkin right in the middle??
We're looking forward to the MI EPI Fall gathering this weekend, hopefully the weather will cooperate. Love Sue and Claire | |

-- Claire, permanent foster dog for New Rattitude Rat Terrier Rescue. Pulled from a county shelter 07/29/09. Diagnosed with EPI and Diabetes. cTLI 1.9, Folate 7.7, Cobalamin 266. Started B-12 shots 9/8/09. Currently being fed 2x a day, Wellness Core Ocean Formula, both dry and canned. 1/2 Tsp Pancreatin with each feeding, incubate 20 min. Novolin N, 3.5u, 2X a day. Initial weight 7.2 lbs, current weight 11.2 lbs.

I was all set to dress up the pups too.
Who is completely spoiled rotten, loves kids, and will be going into therapy dog training as soon as I can afford it.
The roomie decided she wants her new boyfriend to move in, so she's kicking me out end of November.
