Dory the Doted One

"Let's go swimming, swimming, swimming. Let's go swimming........". She also speaks Whale. :)

Only cat poo and people's hearts. :) Eta: and a bung of fritz once.

Gawd. That one looked like a bit of an adrenaline rush. I freak out when long necked turtles look at me. lol

2 nights. And she was safely ensconced with a friend who spoiled her shamelessly and taught her a couple of appealing habits, that ate cute, but annoying. When Dory finds a formula that works, she stubbornly sticks to it!

That's what I was thinking too.

*Hic* I roolly love you Dude. No, Dude I love you moar. *hic hic*

Dory's the same, although she doesn't roll in poo quite so much these days. A few freezing, cold dunkings in the ocean before going home to another bath kinda fixed that issue for us. Dead Sea Things REALLY Pong. And we won't talk about the water logged Mettwurst she found.

Dory is.... Dor Dors Dory My Glory Does everyone remember the Hamster dance?...yep...we sing that to Dory. Doooorrrrrrr-reeeeeeeee Doors Red Dog Scruff Mutt boyfriend always asks her...."What's the Story...Dory?"

Other for us. Because when we leave the house, Dory is with us most of the time. For the rare occasions she is left home, she is crated inside the home.

I had to laugh. "oh, it's looking at me". "yeah. They do that. They have eyes". Classic.

Mind you with all the publicity about new legislation they were probably pretty frightened of the consequences. As they should be. And they should be held accountable.

There has only been a couple of dogs, whos opinion I would have paid any attention too. One because she did like near anyone...especially those holding the food, but she had some rather interesting exceptions and quite openly disliked these people. Not a good look when your openly friendly dog suddenly goes all stiff and growly when she hears someone's voice. Dory is not a very good guide. In fact, I reckon she often does take her cue from me. I've noticed if I'm in a frazzled, peed off state and I want people to just go the hell away from me...Dory reflects that. I tell people to not go near her when I'm like that. a) Cos I'm already annoyed. and b) What I don't say because I'm trying to be polite, Dory will tell you in a very impolite fashion.

Toothmarks in the wall add character.... Honest And I am sure no one would notice bits of skirting board missing lmao Less to paint later.

Looks like a Rottie to me. (ie...very very very gorgeous.. ) But the only real way to know for sure would be to have sighted his parents and his paperwork. I don't think he will be a very heavy set dog, but none the less handsome for all that. But then...I love Rotties. :laugh:

What if your daughter takes over the care, such as feeding etc? As if Jazz was her dog?

If someone saw a partner hurt a pet of mine, I'd want to know first hand. Then I could rip him a new one and dump his sorry butt. I wonder if the boyfriend is the reason the dog is now sleeping outside?

I looked. Yup. That was pretty horrifying. I'm stunned it lived long enough to be examined. That now goes down as the worst injury I've seen.

Dory backed up a tree once, so she could mark it nice and high. LOL.

All my girls have been pretty 'feisty' characters. I don't think it is learned from being around male dogs and I've never found it to be a problem behaviour at all. If you take her back to square one with house training I don't see that you should have too much of a problem curtailing the peeing in the house.

I haven't yet owned a female dog that doesn't cock her leg. Dory (current dog) cocks her leg and is a shocker for marking territory, not quite as bad as a boy dog, unless we are at the dog park. So desexing may not stop the leg cocking. As far as peeing in the house overnight, probably could work on training to fix that issue...ruling out a possilbe UTI that is.

We've had no trouble tracking chips with other companies, they seem to be able to check other databases. Can't get contact, though will tell you who to ring. EXCEPT....NSW. They are a total pain

I'm amazed by dogs that choose outside! I only ever had one that chose not to sleep in my room. He was really quite adamant. Mind you I only got the hint when he huffed and puffed for 20mins before then sitting on my head. THAT'S when I got the hint and never made him sleep in my room ever again.

Nice Job!

I voted other. Because Dory will sleep on her bed, my bed, on my clothes, on the floor and sometimes the shower recess of the ensuite! She moves around quite a bit in the night.
