persephone

:) hamlet used to bark , and 'wuff ' with his cheeks puffed ..sometimes he'd wake up ..and wonder why we were laughing ....

Growling , yipping , snapping ...dreaming , AFAIK. As long as he's otherwise happy ...and there doesn't appear to be any pain associated with it - don't panic yet :) Good to see you posting, by the way :)

Def get this baby desexed prior to selling ..it will obviously weed out any BYB interest!

oh, Darien ... a for you and your old girl ... don't delay , it will lead to all sorts of feelings /memories that you don't need .

You certainly have your hands full !

Will the person from whom you bought it take it back? you can't advertise it on here ... of course you can advertise on gumtree - just be sure pup is chipped/desexed, and that you check out potential buyers!! Is there any alternative to rehoming? Can we help you to keep it? if the pup has problems which make living with it really hard - please do NOT rehome , and pass them on to new owners , OK ?

not on concrete. dont have permission for concrete. you don't need concrete(unless legally) - strong reo steel mesh welded to walls and used as a floor below your chosen substrate is escape proof!! We have been using it for years on dog pens. No way can it be chewed thru /dug thru . :)

This sounds as if there is a near zero chance of these dogs having a carefree and interesting day ....

Sounds as if you need to spend a bit of money to buy equipment which will allow you to keep the dogs restrained ! ;) Buy harnesses instead of collars ..the terrier will not fins it at all easy to chase things . Buy good quality leashes/harnesses etc with solid brass fittings ....

Good news you are enough to make your dogs' food . Tinned food , most of it is water ..so not terribly full of nutrition. :) Dogs mainly need meat - muscle and organ - offal , bone . Some veg /egg/yoghurt/fish, can be added .Dogs do not need the cheap fillers , rice/pasta/bread /bran. cooking food destroys a lot of the enzymes/vitamins in food 9which is why tinned food has it added afterwards ;) hicken necks are not the best for larger dogs - no chewing value ..and there is some danger of chocking . lamb flaps / pelvis & neck /backbones sold by supermarkets might be better :)

try this LINK-/download- it is directed at Danes - but is a LOT of useful information

NILIF needs to be a 24 hr thing :) It just becomes a way of life - like kids saying "please & thankyou"

maybe try NILIF so all day ,every day is "training" ;) sounds as if she'd do well with that! it will keep her thinking how to get her next treat/cuddle !! Also when walking - include busier areas- and just WALK ... no chatting , no stopping to practice anything ..or say hello or windowshop .... or pee ... just walk , and reward her when her head is pointing straight ahead , and the leash is loose :) Do the same route every day for a while . there is plenty of new info, even on teh same footpath/row of shops. Scents and sounds are always changing! remember- she is not noticing the same boring shops/trees/straight lines - she is DOG and the minutiae are what she will notice ;) An ant, a footprint, a waving bit of grass, a food scent .....

She is so funny ..(to us) and so serious. In her mind she is still top dog and able to stand up for herself ... in reality she has almost no voice - not many teeth and a tendency to fall if taking a sharp corner ;) The younger ones DO still fall into line ..and she can still sneak her way to where the left over cat food is ;)

Good to the that goofy face back home :) I also like his new 'do' :)

What does she get to see normally ? Does she come with you in the car ? Walk around shops etc ..sit in a park & watch/listen to the world ? \ if she doesn't do it now - did she as a little pup? edit to add - I am not a 'trick' person ..would rather have a dog who doesn't pull , and who comes when called, as the two most important lessons learnt .

Hi - welcome ..and congrats! there is no "preferred" food - be it in dry/wet or raw form . Buy the best puppy food you can afford - change gradually ..and see how you go .

:) This is lovely ... so much cute!

CAT toy? I see no cat ...

Hope you found a vet who could help - poor Sandi . Oh - and you haven't failed him by lack of training , really ...dogs are like human toddlers/babies . Good Fences and harnesses/restraints are the ONLY way to make sure they are safe . :) he is lucky you are so worried .

Thanks for the update, and glad he is doing well ????

Hope all is OK this morning .

Hopefully all will be well - and it is unrelated to grapes .....and just a 24 hr bug .

wouldn't it be wonderful?
