persephone

Good for you starting early! :)

Agreed . IF she needs to stay in a kennel - and they will NOT accept titre tests , then vacc her if you must ... I hope she settles into a long and healing sleep tonight for you both ....

T - he LOVES retrieving (in small doses- then it's ...yep , I'm off now to give this to Dad...)

yes! the BEST diet for a dog with allergies is a diet which does NOT contain the stuff to which he is allergic. This can take time - and may be as simple as food colourings, or as complex as one type of meat protein ...

:) find another trainer first . I don't understand why you would use an implant AND have a vasectomy done? if you are usnure of trainers - perhaps ask on here - someone may know of a good one in the West for you :)

No tripping - he may look goofy - but he can be deadly serious! he carried that thing this morning for about 20 minutes .......

it would be almost microsurgery! ..good luck.

yes, there are others to photograph ...but ..... how can I go past this ?

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 ;)
