Hey PA, about the blood, my dog also had itlast week. Small amount with diarrea. The day before she snitched a drumstick offthe top of the oven. Ate it bones and all. But now I check closelyon her fecesbut no blood since. If it happens again I'll call the vet. Boy, she's costing me alot in vet bills almost $100/month.

Today I took her out to a dog/nature park. Heavy wooded area with alittle swamp and trees. She pointed a nesting hen mallard. I didn't even see the bird. I stomped around in front of her nose to see if anything was there then she broke point saying, "It's here stupid!" Sure enough the mallard flushed right at my feet. Another half step would put my feet in her nest. She also flushed two more ducks but they flushed upon seeing her. Ahhh.. I got to get her broke for sure.
