Oh wow, I am so sorry to read about Harry

We have a mitsubishi triton 4x4, 2 big dogs and a 5 year old!!! We LOVE it! The only thing is getting the dogs in the back, we don't have a ramp so are lifting them in and out. The tray is enclosed and it has a partition window between there and the cab, which can be operated by the driver. My OH has had a few modifications done. We only got it earlier this year so don't have anything bad to say about it yet!

I have a GAP Greyhound. The most common thing I get asked is 'aren't greyhounds vicious?' The next common thing I get is along the lines of 'gee, I bet you have to excercise her a lot?' of course there is also the ' your dog is too skinny'......

JRM your dog is so smiley, the last one made me laugh out loud! Belgian blue your dogs are beautiful!

I got mine today!!!!! I have spent so much time looking through it today, it is fabulous! Well done to everyone involved. Steve, does it make me a little sad that I was excited to see your name on the back of the postage bag too??!! ;) ;)

They are both so adorable! I love your photos!

Run free pretty girl :D

I am glad he ate his dinner, I hope he (and you) has a good night

Oh what a creepy man. You poor thing, I hope you are feeling ok now. Thank goodness you had Shyla with you, even if she has not acted aggressive before for someone who doesn't know her she could be seen as intimidating??

Hey poochmad!! Thanks for those great comments He does have a good home now - I'm a total dog slave. hahahaha I think you're right re the previous owners! I'm so glad he's not still stuck with them because with his smarts he would have gone slowly insane in that little back yard and probably ended up with all sorts of problems. Hmmmmmm. I don't think him going under the bed is a comfort thing tho LOL If you saw him doing it all the time you'd know what I mean. He is definitely having fun and playing a game. He has started doing it to other bits of furniture now - I think he'd love to have a tunnel because he'll go from one to the other. He is just about the most sassy dog I've ever met so I don't think he's looking for comfort. He'll actually do it most often when everything's all quiet and he's bored hahahahaha Thinking about it he doesnt do it when he's unsure - he'll run to me when he feels insecure which is probably good. He also barks at anything he doesnt like the look of (but runs back to me!!). He was going off at some innocent calves today. Poor wee things. BUT he has now realised that he can tease Tango and then escape under there and Tango wont get him. Tango follows and looks at the bottom of the bed barking etc so Dylan peeks out from under the bed and bashes him in the face like a cat would, then darts back under hahahahahahaha I swear that dog has a sense of humour. So great to hear that Spottychick, so when are you going to add that third ticker????

He is just too cute!

My guess about the separation anxiety is that she got used to you nursing her "around the clock" and now expects this as she sees it as normal behaviour. In her world you have spent so much time with her and now you want to go out on your own and she does not like this! Start by leaving her in another room for a couple of minutes and then walking back in. Only praise and reward her if she is quiet and settled. Gradually increase the amount of time and then progress to going out of the house for a small length of time. Once again only praise her if she is quiet and settled upon your return. Maybe some rescue remedy to help her feel more secure? Maybe you could leave a piece of clothing that you have been wearing in her bed so she has your scent on it. Good luck, it can be exhausting and frustrating. Hopefully in the long run, it will be worth the effort though.

Hoping your boy Chase gets better quickly

funny puppy!

and me!!!! If you start at one then I can come for an hour, yipee!

Beautiful photos Lisa. The dogs all look so happy, especially Kiya!

Hope you have a lovely day

He sounded like a very special boy, with a special place in your heart. RIP Eric

I love reading about your dogs. You have a way with words that make things so interesting!!
