I read this as the OP worrying that puppy was indeed sick ....

:) thank you for that link .. it was good to see my cranky old boss still going with some fire in his belly .

Oh :D

judy69 also ..make sure he has LONG walks/runs .. so at least his body is a bit weary ... give him RR every 1/2 hr ... a drop on that bare skin on the back of his ears .. or one drop on his gums ...

What breed .. and did he have to fly to you, or did you collect him from nearby? Is he drinking ok? Did the breeder give you a diet sheet ... ?

RMS so sorry - take care - take photos , enjoy spoiling her over the weekend be kind to yourself.

Sounds a bit odd ... could you have missed it? I would phone the breeder ... is he eating/playing etc ?

If you can manage I would suggest trying ADAPTIL - the synthetic doggy 'feelgood' pheremone . It is available in collars , which may help . LINK here but guess prices vary from place to place . poor little guy - hope it can get sorted .

She has a thick soft coat - his is not like that ....

She is in good hands - nice long walks are great for settling an anxious soul :)

That sounds good ! Playdates, here we come ! :)

he is the same size as Ess - just further away ;) A little lump of muscle - not one bit of soft puppy in either of them !

I'd still be there in a heartbeat I'm a woos

Ess&Don have a couple of instances of 'inside time' each day .. this is last night :)

* thinks twice about a meet & greet now...*

LOVE the comparison photos , thank you!!

yes- the problem here is the sound/sight of the flies .... using advantix won't stop them flying/buzzing close by ........................ it is a tricky one

R I P lovely girl .... you chose your time & place ..

What a special memory to have! Did any of that first litter end up working? I have the funny feeling no .... but they were certainly cute :) I named one of them after my Mum ;)

Whereabouts are you ? We may be able to suggest someone closer ... the weather now is cooling down ... he is young and healthy ....

How awful I would definitely get her checked by a veterinary behaviourist . Also , find a good insect repellant suitable for DOGS - and use it regularly. remove any food stains/food bowls/bones etc do a regular poo patrol ..and maybe squirt some vinegar/water onto toilet spots ? I spray all window frames/outdoor light fittings with a surface spray..so any flies which land there are dead...

Oh Dear ............ does he have Yfronts, or buttons ?

I guess there are some who haven't heard teh story :) I wanted to see how very old he looks now ;)

Oh, darn - I missed it . Wally Conron was my boss for many years .... ,and yes, that first litter of curly coated puppies was so special, and held such promise - I remember it well .
