  1. a few recent :) Dondog dad at 84 ( I bought him a new cap - and he had to have a photo ;) ) playing with pelicans early and foggy morning ...just near the house
  2. he may just be slow to metabolise the anaesthetic? Hopefully he will be comfortable soon . Does he have a cone or anything on his head ?
  3. poor boy - hoping you'll find out soon .
  4. hopefully he's in hospital, and they can find out what the problem is , and get to work on it . Thinking of you - I remember you mentioning the burping . take care - it is always a scary time when they are so ill . hoping for better news next post.
  5. Mrs RB : How to make a human fall down : Wait until dark. Stand really still in the shadows , preferably on higher ground . When the human is level with you - 'bark'/stamp feet and hop in front of them It works :)
  6. To make a spray - a drop or two in a spray bottle :) try dilute lavender oil - at least it's relaxing aromatherapy!
  7. Citronella is an aversive , yes - it also lingers .. and is very strong! I second bitter apple ..
  8. teeKay - that is beautiful!!! I can see that printed large, & hanging :)
  9. , I found his cousin :) sorry, couldn't resist
  10. Sounds as tho your yard will be a great spot to be!! :) You may also get some ideas from THIS THREAD :) we do LOVE spotty pup photos ;) :)
  11. I also agree with training etc :) Instead of driving/walking every day - spend some time playing games , and doing basic training with her ! this will , like kids at school, use up her mental energy more than a walk :) Obviously, the ideal mental stimulation for a single pup is feeling the breeze- watching birds, chasing shadows, digging in sand, pouncing on crickets & butterflies ,and analysing the smells coming from the earth, or over the back fence :) You can try puzzle toys .. however she needs to be getting a good reward - and the two best rewards are food , and 'killing' something :)
  12. 4 mths is old to be locked in a boring laundry for so long, I think. What breed is she that she is likely to be stolen?
  13. A puppy in a laundry - it is difficult - I guess pup cannot see out , or hear much ? yes, as asked, how old is puppy , size , and what is the daily routine for him/her?
  14. Agree with Steph :) AVOID eye contact - don't talk to him . have a pocket full of treats and toys ..and as you walk by and he is NOT growling - casually drop something . if he is growling - then just sit quietly and don't take any notice of him .
  15. Glad things are working out -
  16. Lovely dogs - What have you learned about their temperaments which seems to make them a good fit for your family? :)
