persephone

a combination of being overweight ( will keep her warmer AND make arthritis pain worse )having a long coat,and having the carpet may well be making her just a bit too hot to be comfortable Do you have a photo of this girl? of course she chooses to be with you- you are her 'pack', her family.Dogs are built to be with their pack.... What treatment is she on for the arthritis pain? Maybe that needs checking/changing ?

Did the vet check her over well? heart/lungs, mobility/urine.... ? Panting is not really normal... it usually means a dog is stressed or ill, or hot. I would check with the vet again... or maybe another vet ?

What they said

Good for you in looking after them for so long It's not really 'forgetting' - It's their bodies wearing out, and just not being able to 'hang on' anymore Sounds as if there is senility setting in as well.... what does your vet suggest? perhaps some gentle help from medication would make things a bit more peaceful?

maybe some info in HERE?

Maybe, instead of keeping her stimulated- you do her LONG walk/obedience before you go - so she is more inclined to want to just rest ;)Kongs are useful ..

I didn't think cameras were permitted at most live concerts/performances?

Yep charcoal, being a solid mineral, passes thru , and the diluted black ends up looking somewhat green

Hoping your girl is not any worse today

poor girl.. she sounds quite distressed . Could be pain from anal glands or tummy ... or anywhere.. .could well be the new walker , if she hates that sort of thing!... hope you can help her .

Yep- I worked that out way back when, as a kid I watched the so called 'wild' footage- and you could tell by settings/animal body language, that a lot was artificial very sad.

It sounds a bit extreme for shifting a sleeping spot- but I don't know your dog. Is she otherwise behaving normally? toilet/eating/runningaround/playing, etc? My first thought was a pain reaction.... It could well be an anxiety thing is the other dog still allowed on the bed? Which is the 'top dog' in the little pack? perhaps this has confused the dogs?

LOL! he does look a tad round!Gorgeous face

Well done .

my brain is fried - I meant to suggest a couple of de gas capsules,and an acidopholus capsule as well..as soon as possible after the pig-out. Hamlet occasionally does this- and the de gas certainly make a BIG difference!!

Love the second one! *thinks how silly those dogs look with singlets on *

I had two terriers as a youngster- My first, a mini foxie given me when I was 7 - was with me for 14 years..and was the most loyal little dog!! She was also an aggro one used to fight with our lab bitch... She was fearless and fit and the perfect companion for a bush kid My second terrier was , we think a dachsie/terrier mix. She also was fiercely loyal, a watchdog, a sheepdog with very very shortlegs, full of fun, and adaptable. IF I get a choice, a terrier will be my next dog

bobchic- I think a visit from an experienced trainer/behaviourist would be very helpful for you There is a lot of confusion in your household, with different rules and behaviours for each dog.... and your OH's attitude is also adding to the confusion. I think assessment /advice from a professional would help you work out a plan to keep harmony,stop the humping, and explain what is happening, and why

If I could afford it - the mobile vet would be the go ....I believe it is a good thing that the other animals know their mate is dead .... I am so sorry it is his time - you have been toigether a long while, and there will be a big hole left.

Doesn't sound like marking to me either----

Glad someone found her, and that she has now been treated I'm sure you will now spoil her rotten !

the squished noses one!! Is that available on RB ?

If she gets walks, is healthy and playful.... then why on earth have her PTS ? The owners are doing a good job, if she is happy and playful

Lamb flaps, turkey wings/necks, pork offcuts ? They may be worth trying? What was he being fed when you got him? perhaps he has never been shown other foods much?
