*crawls back under rock* I thought this was about a dog who was 'big brother ' to wayward puppies or somesuch :p have never seen the TV show .

they may be focussed..but I bet any money there will be a paw poke/leap at times ..then some frustrated /excited yipping when they hear moving prey ......

can you cause disturbance to the area ? hose it often, cut away ivy , etc ? If there are uncaring renters or an empty house ..then it is very possible there are lots of ratties!! A terrier delight Who needs toys!! ;)

yep..rats is my guess .....

Oh..

There is a thread about this HERE

:) It turned out well .. my favourite bit is his little 'hand'

your description of that encounter sounds as if she could be .....

I am cynical because sometimes vets make mistakes ......there may be something not quite right internally ..due to the surgery ? No idea- just tossing in ideas....

..yes, I'm cynical... remember, sometimes procedures don't work out exactly as planned ....and a youngster refusing food for days is not normal .

Awww - gorgeous photo :) Sorry it's to be a rapid downhill slide -

:) I lost my old Kieran to bloat/torsion ... glad harry is doing OK .

methinks that BB's technique would not suit dogs barking because of anxiety or uncertain-ness at all . It's pretty 'in your face' .

is he drinking ? How is his behaviour generally? if he isn't drinking much - he needs the vet ASAP . I would suggest a vet visit anyhow- not eating for more than a day or so needs checking.

from 'a clean incision' to being bashed with a heavy instrument ... Ok... poor poor dog. :(

hopefully he will be healing well. that is one horrible emergency , bloat

it does say sold without papers .. not that they aren't registered ... I have not much idea how this works, or the legalities ...... They give a lot of identifying details , and have put in a lot of work ...and pups are cute :)

It's a very big change, WM.... change in routines- all different smells... no nice big 'dog park' different dog neighbours and street sounds - unsettling for all . Early days ..but it will be a shame if barking happens

all I can say is what I saw several times when the vet I worked for did this op :) It was amazing just how it eased the pain! They had a bit of leg missing - but looked happier . He used to do it 'with a very small incision .. and it amazed me each time at how well the dogs recovered .

I'd bark too ,having left doggie heaven for a strange courtyard :p ;) No suggestions, just breathe ... and I hope you can find out who/what ...

..wonder if she had on a thin chain collar ?

Could have been a 'caught on/in - fence accident .. Poor Bella - whichever way she died .

..if a dog here is not 100%( as long as they do not have a tummy bug) they get all sorts of different things until they're well again - first thing is lots of raw .. then depending on the dog - they also get treats of cat food , eggs , scrambled .., peanut butter sandwiches are always a popular breakfast ..fresh rabbit halves ...table scraps ..
