1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

I'm a little confused about the sawdust as well. Why are you adding it to their food? Is it the meat shavings like Harrise said or are we talking about actual sawdust (which is a common filler in some low-quality dog foods).

Being in heat is known to cause a loss of appetite in some dogs. As long as she is still drinking there isn't much to worry about.

However, between your maids giving her people food and all the treats in between, you're probably spoiling her rotten, so her plain old dog food just isn't doing it for her anymore. What puppy food do you feed her? You may need to look into switching to a higher quality kibble.

I've only had one time with one dog that I felt a need to entice him to eat. I used chicken broth poured on the food and mixed it up by hand.
