it'll take time to adjust to new routines ...

ahh, T , yes - once they have gone.and although there is a very jagged hole .. we don't have the pain and concern or the 'what-ifs' .

so sorry T - hope you have baby animals to hug today ...

Oh, T So sorry .

have a read here CLICK about reactive dogs and also HERE , from K9 pro BLOG - it explains things really well. and THIS is brilliant . Obviously the BEST thing is to consult an experienced professional ....

No treats for that sort of thing here - it's bath/grooming/car travel time ..and that's that . There is a play /cuddle at the end of the procedure though :)

..and make sure, crate + puppy for hours at a time is not ideal - except when sleeping :)

:) how wonderful - this dog has a muzzle (of sorts! )

:) He is a naughty gremlin!!

they are both attractive in their way :) have a lot of the same goofy characteristics too - like going for a walk/run and carrying a toy for up to 1/2 hr ..it looks very weird! They both jump up , with front paws on me for cuddles ( my choice/command) ONLY because there is hardly any weight on those front feet .. it feels gentle, like a cat ..when the late & great Hamlet did that , he would just about wind me ! ;)

what i see in the side mirror ....

you and Willow are learning together :)

kami - that sounds a good plan :)

showdog - that's a point ! .

make SURE the gaps are no more ..and the fence is VERY high - pups can scramble/climb take him back out there with you - give him a bone or some treats - do not fuss ....

yep !! Wears his bigboy status with a bit too much pride , as the baby brain hasn't quite caught up ;)

:) thanks

he is FINALLY growing legs , yes!

Oh - and the snaphook is his 'symbol of adulthood' as he is on a chain at night now ... yes, yes, I know .... he has a lovely bed, a treat dispenser , a carrot or apple , usually a froz chicken frame - a few toys , and his cushion. There hasn't been a peep out of him - even the first night , and he doesn't toilet overnight , either . he knows now .. when I say - BED - he races over to his spot , sits & waits for the yummy whatevers ....he is a funny dog .:)

"Do I look more like a SHEEPdog now ?"

playing on the iphone -

I have shared that - it's great ... I would just let the sheep find their own way I think .... throw something yummy into their paddock .... I'm a coward ;) I will show this to my brother too!

Eek! I like how says' "thankyou" at the end - and uses the colours as commands :) there is no way on god's earth I would even BE there - let alone try & herd sheep that is one BIG drop down ..... Love the little dog's joy and speed :) thankyou.

the pain of watching food come out the microwave .....
