We have an invisible fence so he can run the whole yard, which is almost an acre in a small town. I have developed arthritis in my back so bad in the past year I cannot handle the dog physically and now cannot walk him on a leash as he needs. We tried a bark collar on him when he was a puppy. It worked, but he had diarrhea every time we used it. -- P.S. DEAR P.S.: You can't leave a German shepherd in a yard alone unsupervised until they are 2 or 3 years old, depending on their bloodlines. If you do, you'll develop a barking and/or guard dog aggression issue. I won't leave any dog in a yard alone unsupervised until they are adults. At the very least, without your guidance, they just learn to bark at anything. .
Calif. family's lost dog found after 7 years, but not everyone is ...
FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) - There was no puppy love when Jewel met Jade. Jewel, the Correy family pet, disappeared seven years ago. Misty Correy and her children hoped the microchip in the dog's back would help find the Siberian husky. "After three months, we figured we would never see Jewel again," Correy said. So they got Jade, a yellow Labrador. Last month, the family got a call from a humane society in Yuma. An animal control officer had found Jewel wandering down an empty road and they had traced her through the chip. It's unclear how Jewel got to Arizona and became lost again. Correy's daughter, Breezy, 16, and her older brother drove for 14 hours to retrieve Jewel. "I hugged her all the way home," Breezy said.

LeBron James Misses Last Second Three-Pointer as Cavaliers Fall to ...
Tony Parker scored 17 points, Tim Duncan added 14 points and 9 rebounds and Bruce Bowen finished with 13 points and 9 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs continued their run through the NBA Finals with a 75-72 victory over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron had a chance to tie the score with five seconds left on the clock but his three-pointer from the top of the key fell short and the Spurs took a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. Cleveland was awful from the floor, hitting just 36 percent of their shots including a dismal 3-19 performance from beyond the three-point line. Both James and Daniel Gibson went a collective 0-10 from deep and the bench added little support adding seven points in the game. Despite the Cavaliers inability to score they still had an excellent opportunity to at least extend the game to overtime yet they failed on each occasion.
Health Alert: Pet diseases
NATIONAL - More than half of all US households own a pet. And while pets provide companionship and comfort, they can also pass along up to 200 diseases to humans. Eleven-week-old Maggie is a Cocker Spaniel puppy and the newest member of the Moreau family. Seven-year-old Merit just can't get enough of her. But Merit's mother has her concerns. Megan Moreau says, "Having a child around and having her and the dog in her face, and playing with it after the dog's been outside, I did consider that." Puppies are precious, but diseases they can carry, like rabies and ringworm, can be dangerous. So a visit to the vet should be the first order of business for new pet owners. Bonnie Beaver, D.V.M., says, "One of the things the veterinarians will check for would be for intestinal parasites.
