Totally get this, they do like to manipulate us ☺ one of mine looks like she's being murdered when we send her to bed (off my bed and into the study). Though when she is really tired, all she wants is to go to her bed alone in the study. Its her safe place ☺

I'd put her in the laundry to sleep. It seems to work well for both of you, so no reason not too. She probably gets a better night sleep too without you waking her up! Some dogs do prefer to sleep away from you ????

So sorry for your loss xxx

She is probably already on a great diet but we changed my daughters westie to Hills Sensitive Skin, and add yoghurt or sardines, hes doing really well on it, no more red feet.

How will the dogs know to eat only the goats and not the other wildlife they want to keep, or are they eradicating everything then start again?

Oh Charlie xxx

What a dreadful time you are going through at the moment. Take care of yourself and im sure things will be alright xxx dont worry about the neighbor he's in the wrong, not you. You'll obviously fence off parts of the fence so ivy can't continue fighting at it, and it will all settle down. Good luck ☺

Cuuuute ????

If the raw is a bone, given rarely,dogs can become over stimulated with it and resource guard. Do you feed your dog kibble or just a raw diet only? Does your dog resource guard all food or just raw? These are important to know because if is just the odd bone, you need to make it a more regular thing so he trusts he will get these regularly and it wont be so important in his mind to keep it to himself. If he resource guards all food, you will need to get in a behaviourist to get the dog to trust you.

Oh the poor baby, all the best anne, thinking of you xxx

My small dogs get half a cup of dry a day with an egg or spoon of yoghurt daily. I found a whole cup of dry was too much for them.

oh dear, not good xxx

not meds, but i gave my unused Hills kd to the vet when Charlie passed away. It was given to an older lady who was trying hard to afford the food for her dog with kidney disease and was MOST appreciated, i received a beautiful heartfelt card from her (via the vet) and was so happy to be able to help out someone in my same situation.

Wishing you all the best Amber, let us know how it goes xx

So if they are forced to get their dogs desexed, the irresponsible breeders will not be able to breed... Hence higher registration fees being a start.

How do you decide from the general public who is "responsible" and who is "irresponsible"? How do you know who is going to ensure their dog will not accidentally get out, it happens all the time going by the lost dogs pages. Registered breeders have to be responsible, but Joe public... Not necessarily so.

My dogs that were rescued from the pound have all been mixed breed of indeterminate parentage, not designer crosses, not backyard pure breed. That, plus all the other mixed breeds I saw there would lead me to believe irresponsible owners of undesexed dogs are what has contributed to all these poor guys being dumped there.

I remember the story of Soona and Boon, so tragic. Lovely to see these photos of Zombi and her baby ????

Oh no Maddison, so very sorry to hear this news, all the best Sarasmum xxx

My son is in Melbourne this week and now torturing me with photos of standard silver poodles, nova scotia duck tollers, agility and Dr Harry.... Wish I lived in Melbs... Looks like a lot of fun.

Oh you poor thing, its so hard what you are going through. There is no easy answer you just go one day at a time and be there for him, attend to his needs and know that you are giving him the best care you can. It is also about you, you love him and are going to miss him so much. Take extra care of you xxx

I love those boys interactions with pudden. How sweet ❤

If you train your puppy to he calm, to sit for treats when visitors arrive, and hold a stay for dinner, you will also he training the other one at the same time... Monkey see, monkey do.
