Also, place pup on a NON SLIP surface .. put a mat or something in for her to stand on.... that often helps.Pups can get very scared if they are slipping.

for you .. How awful.

I always knew poodles were evil ! That story confirms it !!!!

Oh, My .......... BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think there is a worry for any kids .. Ermmm earlier this year we had adolescents( pups) .... and we lost about 12 guinea fowl . Dogs are now happily chasing sheep instead( and not killing them :D ) They don't pay much attention to the remaining guineas now ....altho are never left alone with them! Most of our dogs have killed at least one chook.... even my Kieran,(Dane X) who was the only dog I have ever completely trusted with babies/kids killed one .. mainly from pouncing on it with his then 36 or so puppy kilos :D One dog we have killed an old chook ..and there was no biting involved. She just 'set' it and 'set' it , stalking... until it died of stress. One of our dogs used to regularly catch an old chook.. then put it in a hole, upside down.....chook survived this several times . (Oh- and I am talking a period of over 20 years here... there certainly is not a free for all poultry carnage ! ,except the pups for that month or two ..but we didn't realise for ages ) )

Fair enough...BUT, you will probably need a night time toileting routine .. a couple of times during the night, for the first little while- as puppies have very little control....

Sounds like homeopathic medicine if it works, that's great!! Glad you can feel stubble

Freeze them solid - then give them to her

Do some obedience stuff with them during th e walk.. so they get the tiredness which a mental workout gives :D

okkkkk It probably feels good , and is very natural to pee/mark things . However, it is not an acceptable behaviour for dogs living indoors/closely with humans. It doesn't often happen that someone comes on here and laughs about their dog peeing on a new couch, or all over the clothes left draped on the end of the bed .... Why then is humping so often seen as mildly/downright amusing /acceptable?

perhpas give her some nice canned food to help with the blanket traveling thru?

If you put your dog on a good dry dog food- he will get all these nutrients that way

She could have an infection ,or stones in her bladder or something Hopefully the vet can get it sorted soon poor girl.

So - he can't chew bone, or can't digest bone? There are other softer bones other than chicken ...

..scurries off to find the ladybird group!! Thanks

Yummo!

Bone meal is used in blood&bone fertiliser.. were you wanting to feed it to your dog? Your dog would probably enjoy chewing bones to get those dietary needs which may be in bone meal

thanks, folks. I love getting close to insects as well ;) Don't think I'll throw away the old fuji point&shoot just yet ;)

Don't fuss Just give frozen bones..other bones , and lots of other things to chew ;) I have had pups/dogs for a long time, and most times, if I didn't check , I would not have known they were teething .

A beautiful tribute, for what must have been a lovely boy. Travel easy, Journey.

I know our youngsters often gulp down things which are too large.. and scream blue murder as it makes its way down.... whether this is what happened in your case, I don't know . Could have bitten his lip/tongue, could have got scratched by a bit of bone.... Hopefully he enjoyed the rest of it without incident:)

This is not 'throwing up', it is regurgitation...and it is how many canines feed their young. Imagine a wolf with cubs .... the cubs are way too young to go hunting , so how do they get meat? Adults hunt, and gorge, and carry it back to the pups in their stomachs .... digestion is begun, the food is warm, and is a perfect start for the babies :D A lot of birds also regurgitate food- penguins for one , and parrots....

Does she look interested when there's food around- either hers or yours? Does she seem keen to start with and then stop?
