  1. What did the vet suggest? Seizures may be caused by all sorts of things- remove your air freshener and see what happens - however, a vet check will help to locate the cause. Hope it doesn't happen again
  2. Hi- I have never heard of bathing a suture line post op ... Your bitch should ,ideally be BY HERSELF, resting, and NOT jumping or playing with another dog- for at least 5 days, as far as I know Hope all is well, and she doesn't do any permanent damage.
  3. There are new toys on picasa... so I can make things like... and ..my favourite ..
  4. Good for you in pre-planning! May I suggest that for the first day or two you refrain from randomly cuddling and cooing over your new boy? especially on the way home in the car Have a routine set from day ONE.. and give pup lots of praise and cuddles for participating... NOT for jumping on the couch ... or demanding a cuddle . Puppies aren't human babies- patting/cuddling/picking them up when they whinge/cry/shake just tells them that that particular behaviour gets rewarded!!!
  5. No.. i think it's a bit sad... that today's dogs spend so much time indoors that burying food treasures in furniture is their version of 'normal' Our guys never have any meat/bones indoors.. all outside, with the doors shut!
  6. A 'dog training Centre' ? I would suggest you give us your city/town, and then contact a good trainer who someone may recommend!! Sounds as if your pup and you woul;d benefit much more from one-to- one sessions .
  7. Have you taken him to the vet for a checkup???? He may well have a urinary tract infection or other problem
  8. My old Mitchell was the sweetest dog around people and other animals generally... but he was also totally reliable as a self-appointed 'protector' when the two of us were anywhere ...if it was not a 'walking the dog' exercise.. and I was sitting/taking photos/ snoozing on a beach or something... NO ONE would get within a few metres of me without him growling/standing up... He let burglars rob my car....
  9. Crying here......... so sorry- but it's not your fault.
  10. Thanks, Chezzyr I should be out doing stuff... I DID do this tho Damn I hate new toys ! :cool: Wentworth Jail. *gone*
  11. I have just tried out Picasa's new features.. haven't had time before ( have used picasa for years... I am impressed with their new collage function, and also the ability to add text to photos, and edit out obvious flaws/blemishes easily ... May I recommend it to those who just want to have a 'play', and not get bogged down in technology-speak a quick one just done to celebrate our rain event, today ! 20 mm :cool:
  12. Ok... given he does have some physical limitations, and some perceived fear issues.. please book yourself a good trainer, and get their help. I am sure folks here will recommend someone for you
  13. animalsluvbree... What is his general behaviour? How does he behave around the house? Sit for his food.. walk on lead politely... not look for attention... What training do you do with him? and ............. do you have photos? You would probably benefit from a professional trainer one-one one .Interpreting body language and attitude is easier when the trainer can see and interact with teh dog concerned .
  14. Definitely!! There will be tears before bedtime
  15. I would.. It sounds as if they are totally ignorant of cameras.... and are just trying to offload it... Or are being deliberatley misleading...
  16. Ours crunch up rabbit heads.. so duck heads should be fine
  17. oops wet and DSLR are two words which should not be anywhere near each other Hope , that after leaving it open, and wiping everything... it will be ok tomorrow *fingers crossed*
  18. *nods* Lucky all ours crave it then They often leave a meal... except hamlet ... but are always happy for attention.
