:rofl: Oh Yeah!!! :)

a crate inside the pen.. water , a couple of chewy toys .. :) he will be fine.

oooh sounds as if You're a D O L er already!! :) looking forward to GOOD NEWS posts about the dogue baby !

yes... try the calendula tea to help generally .... no bathing with any sort of detergent/soap ..and get a diagnosis as soon as you can - so then you can treat it effectively. :)

Now, Children.... play nice ... :)

I understand ....

:)

Will the breeder keep pup until you are all set? It would be such a lovely thing to start off , securely , in more ways than one ! :) Can you visit pup if breeders keep him?

Losing Jed was an awful experience for you .... and not meaning to belittle the impact in any way .. I think you have now been given an opportunity to provide Kirra with a fantastic - human oriented , training and relationship foundation . :) She will benefit greatly from the one on one multiple short training sessions during the day ...the long 'boring' walks , where she learns to relax and go steady and focus on who is on the other end of the lead (and no, ..not every walk needs a hyped up dog) .... She will blossom, I think - being able to concentrate on mastering communication with you, and receiving much education and reward for accomplishments :) She will have opportunity to learn to 'chill'..and also to provide her brain with exercise using all the great things you leave her with - paddling pool, sandpit, frozen food laced iceblocks, soccer balls , treat balls .... all that sort of thing :)

Oh yes! All sorts of things can be placed on a concrete slab! :) Oh.. and re a soft crate .. they are very hot ..and also easy for pups to rip/chew their way out of

yay for poo!! :)

soccer balls (leather) sand pit /pile small pond/pool with floating toys cardboard cartons a 'tunnel' of some sort ..

slightly OT ..but I love the look of these.. wish I had some money! :)

There are some interesting things in the classies if you are looking for dog runs :) LINK LINK

THank you for the links!! :) very cute pics .... the sheep looks quite content :)

I see three. :)

was there meant to be a photo?

I do hope the pup can hold on for a few hours, and doesn't have to use his crate as a toilet ..so setting himself up for a really sad habit

A vet check would be my first stop.... the behaviour you describe is very similar to what Hamlet had when he was found to have an intestinal obstruction.... Hopefully it is the food only. poor maui.

Must admit, this is what I would do .....

yes

roo tail, Ox tail , Turkey necks?
