  1. :) Thank you for the update!! Hope the floods pass you by safely.
  2. Sounds much like kennel cough... things which irritate his trachea will be collars (esp if he pulls) clod dry air, exertion... you can perhaps give him some benadryl cough syrup ..2/3 times a day ..probably a teaspoonful for a rottie size dog? ..ask the vet to be sure.
  3. I find this sad .... that you would mistrust a dog because it was either unwell, or keeping someone who is very unwell/fragile, company.I would also feel sad for a dog ,who for 10 years has been sleeping with the family to be suddenly excluded and locked in a laundry. Nelsona.. I hope the vet/Doctor can shed some light on what's happening .. just support your dog , make walks a wonderful time for you both , and I wish you all the best.
  4. I would love to see photos :) I like living vicariously :p
  5. LINK excerpt *wish i had an iphone so I could play with this :p *
  6. Yep..whatever dog breed, it is ,IMO, easier to prevent the start of a problem, than try and correct it later, once it's become a habit. ;)
  7. he eats most things ! Tonight's effort was for a few crumbs of home made potato wedges ;)
  8. Hamlet collects for his own belly ;) he sees us with food..and up he trots with his 'collecting tin' ..and waits for us to drop something in it ....
  9. Hi - a thorough vet check for your dog , maybe ? Sometimes when dogs do this with a particular`person ..the following, etc .. the person may be ill or very unhappy or something similar, and the dog picks up on this ... If you can afford it , I would suggest you get some help from a good recommended professional behaviourist in your area - someone who can visit, and watch your dog , and then suggest things to you and help you manage the situation. If you want to do this - then tell us which area you live in, and someone will recommend a person to contact . :) We can't tell you what is causing your dog's behaviour - we can guess only ...and our guesses may be incorrect ...
  10. :) he used to use a butter tub .... now he uses this one!!
  11. :) and of course they needed to be drugged and squished :p
  12. Lovely!! :) She looks to have a happy,full, life !
  13. Ahh :) we haven't ever had one so serious at that young age ...
  14. Welcome :) 6 weeks is very young to be away from their mum - is there a reason they were sold at that age ? this is from the DOGS NSW page I have a few links to other threads dealing with raising littermates/two pups :) You might get some help from them. LINK LINK I am also not sure about the feeding .. what are they being fed?
  15. The thing is, Allie is almost 6 months old ..and already knows what's what ! :)
