Are Chinchillas nocturnal?

They can be if they're constantly in warm environments....they don't sweat, so they can overheat easily. Since night time hours are normally cooler than day-time, they are known to be more active at night.

Just got bag from the vet. One of my two dogs has to have surgeries on both of her back legs Monday. One of legs had ACL surgery previously and now she has blown the ACL in the other leg (which is apparently fairly common for dogs to do because they "baby" the hurt leg, putting all the stress on the second). The first leg, they used 100lb test strength cable to repair it but that has been stretched out now. This time, for both legs, they will use a part of her own muscle to repair it. Exact same surgery RG3 had.

Timing is perfect as, in two week, I'm installing a new fence which will increase the size of the area they run in by about 400% and now she has to wait 6-8 weeks to enjoy it.

You should just get a new dog.

15lbs to 120+lbs. Still is goofy and lovable as ever.

My dog turns 9 in January. We had a bit of a scare. Sunday we found a mass on his upper left side. My wife thought it was cancer for sure, but thankfully, we found out this am that its nothing more than a fatty lump. Crisis avoided for now! Amazing how shitty your day becomes when your pet gets sick

He looks stressed out.

Its the pressure of having to go potty outside.

Mrs 52 and I have been discussing dog food. Our boy is 9 now and we wanted to feed him the best food that will help him stay healthy. We decided on Blue Buffalo Freedom, grain-free. What are you guys feeding your pooches?

I feed mine Just Food For Dogs, which is human-grade quality food. The owner used to work for Purina and hated all the crap and by-products, so he set out to make his own. Of course, the locations are Newport Beach and Beverly Hills, since he knows these people will pay a premium for their pooches.

But I have to say my dog doesn't have allergies when she eats this. I spend about $26/week and buy it to freeze. JFFD also sells snacks and pills and other things. Pretty much anything your dog needs for his/her health.
