The disney one is my favourite :)

It is weird..but also clever

yeah...Ok ... very undignified and all of that ,,,but I love it .

She is in one of her favourite spots :)

Wishing everyone a safe & happy time !! :) Agree with the introductions ,,but I would walk them for a lot longer, side by side ......

D'oh .. yes I should have thunk!! a wriggling rabbit would probably dislodge barbed wire from ears ......

Ohhhhh I am so sorry he had to go. Run free and be cheeky over the bridge, gorgeous boy ....

LINK TO STORY (with an image) I I wonder what pleasure those doing this get from it ?

Not necessarily. The dog has shown aggression only to the child. In another place he might be the perfect dog . Finding that place that could be difficult, time consuming and probably emotionally exhausting. from the first post in this thread .. and he has bitten a baby now ... responsible rehoming would be a very,very difficult task indeed, and would just add to the dog's stress /confusion now ... poor boy.

I was always taught that some dogs can feel more insecure on a leash when there are confrontations ..and that this may lead to increased aggression/defence .Their subtle body language will change ,as well..that body language which other dogs can read . Dogs can survive without going to a dog park .... they can play with friends' dogs , and be walked on a longline in areas away from parks , attend classes which excercise their brain as well , or they can be given tasks to gain their food while at home ..keeping them occupied and happy . You may feel more at ease if a professional can meet with your dog and explain to you what is really going on - this is almost impossible to do over the 'net.... your boy is now becoming mature and finding his feet - it would be great if he and you get a good grounding at this time ,IMO.

I think, with the measures in place and the stress of it for the dog and for you, that giving him his wings may well be the sensible and responsible option

Yay indead! I am really excited! I cant remember the last time i have been this excited! I really appreciate the links; anything to give me an idea is GREAT!! So thank you. Also just wanted to say that your photos on DOL are what has really motivated me to follow this up. I absolutely LOVE your photography. So even though you didnt mean it, thank you for giving me a kick in the butt to finally do something about it :) ohh thanks.

I reckon an iPhone 4S would still cost me just as much as a dedicated camera! probably :) I was lucky ..mine was 2nd hand (Thanks D O L ) , and a Christmas gift!

size ,weight and shape are big factors .. if you have larger or smaller hands, some cameras may be a bit more tricky ... for example :) Oh! Also check out Flickr's Camera Finder :) LOL seems the IPhone 4S (which is what I use) is very popular at present.

:) yayy :) You may enjoy a bit of research as you are looking/thinking. here are some links which contain interesting info . LINK LINK LINK

Yes. I agree with this .

Do you mean he really experienced the burning house and had bad dreams afterwards? Yes. apparently he would be in a real state and awaken the household

if the younger one has no health problems ..then obedience and stuff with BOTH will help :) no use punishing the older boy, or coddling the younger ... they both would benefit from knowing that you are the ultimate leader :) Playing etc may be fine ... as they have their rules .... but when it comes to beds/food /human presence , there may be problems. I would be very mean .. And crate them separately to sleep .. Institute The Nothing In Life Is Free way of life for them both , and restrict some privileges for both ... that way there is much less of great value to argue over , perhaps?

OK :) hope it helps. Most of these things take a week or 6 to have effect , AFAIK ...

have you checked this with a vet for dosage rates/drug interactions ? I know some of the ingredients are homeopathic , but are all the rest ok ? (I might get some for myself!)

:) it's part of life ...none of us sail thru without some not-so-good experiences , dogs and humans alike! Obviously very severe and recurring ones are a concern .... but IMO , the odd bad dream/nightmare is a normal part of the brain working to sort things out ....

It must be so depressing to be chronically /seriously ill and living alone without a great support network . I can understand why she feels a need to have other living beings in the home , and also how these very beings are causing her more stress While it's probably in the dogs' interests to be rehomed , it will not help her situation ... I hope she can get some professional help from an attuned and pragmatic social worker /support person before someone decides to remove animals from her home . <br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(238, 242, 247);">and this is possibly going to be the most difficult thing she will ever do ..and will not just 'happen'

I agree with this .. (My Hamlet did have a polar fleece coat for Winter , as we get sub zero nights and my bedroom always has an open window ;) )

Long time no see ! I would suggest two things off the bat - A:Young boy is unwell .. Hiding away is often a symptom of being sick ...having pain etc. . Intermitent pain is something to consider .. B:The older boy had given younger one a beating while you're away ..and now younger one is trying to keep well away , as is polite and safe . Older dog could well be warning him off without you noticing , and reminding the younger boy that his place is now OUT ? That's all I can think of at present ....

The worst one I knw of was a young dog who escaped his burning house by jumping through a (closed) window. he really did have bad nightmares !
