Belle - Not that I am an expert by any stretch of the imagination and it is hard to tell from your pic, but he looks like my boy did when he was younger. How old is he?

You know what guys....I really don't think that FeralSam meant anything by it and was only trying to help someone out who has a problem. Noone needs to worry, its all good! Dogmad is going to pass K9's details on and hopefully they get their problem sorted out ASAP.

Hmmmm.... Don't want to be a big party pooper guys, but maybe you should get permission from K9 Force before sending the training sheet around? ;) If it is the sheet I am thinking of, most people would pay to have training with Steve and get these notes :rolleyes: I could be completely wrong, but thought I should say something - just in case!

Cheese and Cabanossi!

Couldn't agree with you more on both the dog rocks and apple cider vinegar!!!!! ;) ETA I do this, add it to the food not in the water and that coupled with the rocks seems to be helping! Not perfect but much better then it was!!!!!

GillBear - she is adorable and your right - her coat does look beautiful!!!! Well done for getting her to eat something! Sounds like you are doing really great job with her!

Vegies in some mince (chicken or beef) :D Have you soaked some biscuits / kibble in some warm water? Add some cheese to the food, my boy loves cheese and will eat anything that is covered in it.

Oh Gee thanks Wags Maybe you could also buy Bear a humping bag to go with them

The simple answer to chewing the mattress is - YES! We have been through a couple, so I just stopped buying them. I bought him one of those shell pools the other day and put it outside to keep him cool during the summer. By the time I got home from work he had managed to chew off all the edges and the rope that holds both sides together! We have 2 of the hession beds. His current bed is only about 1.5mtrs from the door anyway, just not in line with it, so I am going to put the other one right at the door, which could be tricky, but if he lays on it, it will be worth it. Thanks

:p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p wags doesnt want to wear them as wags doesnt have calluses on her elbows! and, seems its your dog, its only fair...... But I don't wanna

Oh Griff Sorry - I was only kidding around! I think Wags would look much better in them anyway - what do you think?

Oh My God! I just laughed sooooo hard, everyone in the office thinks I have totally lost the plot! (MInd you that isn't anything new ) You were right Wags - he looks great! Such a handsome boy! I'm gonna get me some of them on the weekend! Ah that was a great laugh for a Friday afternoon. Thanks

Yeah, you see, that is not going to happen! I would never embarrass my boy like that! He would never forgive me! Maybe Griff could come along and model them for us!

Ohhh well then Wags - if Griff says it is a good idea, I better run out and get me some then

ohhhh come on......Let Riles be the Guinea Pigs for Bear

Hey where did you find this info? I have been looking all morning! Google is letting me down! Notice it says provided the dog is not inclined to chew and swallow bedding material.

Yeah thanks for that Wags! Bear would be the laughing stock of town! How about you try them out on Riley's long legs and let me know how they go How ever did you find them anyway?

Wags I don't know. I just spoke to my Father and he said our last GSD had it, so maybe?

Well that would be a lovely idea, if he didn't rip every thing up I put there for him to lay on. He only sleeps there because it is the closest he can be to us if he isn't inside and I can't really move his bed there as it is hard enough to get out the door with him laying there, let alone a huge bed in the way also hmmmmm........ what to do.....what to do.......

mmmmmmmmwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Griff, that looks great! Sounds like exactly what I need! Now where do I get it from Alright, I know I'm just being lazy, I'll go do a search Thanks everyone!

Ok, so Bear has his kennel and hession bag bed and sleeps on it at night, but generally during the day he lays by the door which is a paved area. Can't really stop him from laying on hard hard as all our undercover area is like that! What will happen if I don't put anything on it? Will the area get larger? Will it ever cause him discomfort?

Just wondering if it was normal for dogs to have callus type things on their elbows. I have noticed that Bear has this on both front legs but one side is worse then the other. My guess would be that it is from dropping and laying down on hard surfaces, but I'm not sure. It doesn't seem to bother him and he lets me touch it, but didn't want to take him to the vet if it is nothing (the vet already thinks I'm a spaz!), so I thought I would ask here first! I have a pic of it somewhere, I will try to find it and post for you guys. In the mean time, anyone have any advice?

No conflict BooBoo, just trying to work out what is the best thing to do, as I have NO IDEA!!!!! Thanks for the info!

hmmmm......pull it out then! Oh man, I would just stuff it up and cause more damage, I just know it! ETA Ok I just seen this on a website I was checking re ticks!
