He wouldn't even follow the Frenchies under it? T.

My Lab makes the scariest noises when playing - but it's normal for her... and she's taught the camp dog and latest pup how to play "loud" tooo... nothing more annoying when I'm trying to watch TV and they are playing bitey face on the couch next to me... *sigh* T.

That scary water thing on the grass... he's looking at it as if to say "what the heck is that?"... lol! T.

The screaming... well... it comes down to who can last the longest... I foster pups, so occacionally I'll get a screamer... I just don't pay them any attention until they stop screaming. Unless they are really getting worked up to the point of hurting themselves while trying to escape their confines. Most pups work out pretty quickly that screaming for attention won't get them anywhere, but being quiet will get you coming to check on them MUCH more often... lol! I also have the luxury of having a granny flat out the back where I can set up their playpens. I stock the playpens with bedding, food, water, and a pile of toys - and they soon forget about asking for attention. I also have a quarter of my yard penned off as a dog yard - they have toys, bedding in a big shed, food, water, and usually I put more than one pup in there for playtimes. T.

Collies X 2 Needing A Home

I keep my dogs inside when I'm not home. Maybe the owner could try that? If they are worried about damage to the house while the dogs are in there, they could invest in a couple of large cage crates... T. -
Finding a vet that will give you an account is way better than insurance... *grin* T.

Awesome job Holly's Mummy! T.

Getting closer to pickup time... how many more sleeps Katdogs? T. -
Izzy has a nicer butt than Psy... lol! T.

The only dog I've ever owned that got hot spots, also got pretty severe flea allergy dermatitis - one flea bite was all it would take to have all his back end hair fall out... he was a Rotti. T.

That's OK Chicken - when things are working out for you, give us a yell, alright? T. -
Do the Frenchies realise how big Luka is? His paw is nearly as big as Izzy's head... lol! T.

I have heard similar stories from folk who've had a dog maim or kill another one of theirs. Under those circumstances it would be hard to feel the same about a dog I think. I have no doubt that my Labrador would maim or kill my Rotti/Pittie cross if they were ever to be allowed to get into a scrap again. They both stll bear the scars from their last fight a few years ago, which is a constant reminder to me of why they are separated. On the other hand, I couldn't rehome either of them either - as I know exactly what they are capable of if triggered off. Good thing I love them both to death and can manage to keep them here and keep them separate... but don't think all those evil thoughts about one or both of them didn't cross my mind after the last fight they had... T.

Raspberries has a p in it ;) Not if you are a dog doing the spelling... *grin* T.

Woohoo!!! Way to go Penni and Jake... you can have play dates! Only Leroy is left from the 2 litters... and he has interest... T. -
Even though 2 of my girls will fight to the death over the silliest little thing they both may want, I love them both just as much as before. I just set a routine in place so that they aren't together ever, and we all get along just fine... T.

Having a choice for an "unknown" and "unknown" as the breed mix would be a great start. The chip forms only allow for a pure (single breed) or an F1 cross to be entered... and there lies the reason for rescue to ask these "what breeds do you see in xxx?" threads... It sucks on so many levels that the chip forms are so restricted. Personally, I'd love to be able to enter our boy as "scruffy" cross "mutt" on his chip... lol! T.
-
Actually Pav Lova, the microchip registry only allows for a breed and possibly one cross option - therefore we can't just ID a dog as a "mutt" or "crossbreed" when doing the chip paperwork. The pound has chipped him as a Scotty cross. It's just a bit of fun at this stage to play the guessing game with what may be in his mix though, wouldn't you agree? Considering that we've had a Staffy/Malt cross from this particular pound before (chipped before it entered the pound no less) - this boy could be anything... *grin* What really matters is that this young fellow is a really sweet little tank of a man who will probably be a really nice addition to someone's family... he's just such a nice lad. T.

Thank you glemhaith... he's a cutie anyways though, don't you think? T.

If I didn't know that Jodie would freak out in one, I'd suggest a muzzle... *grin* The other alternative could be to separate the girls when you can't supervise them... just when Stevie has a healing hot spot - to give it a chance to start to heal... T.
