how long can you crate a dog for? my dog that barks is a whippet. she is pretty active. (that is in comparison with my greyhound ) i don't know if she will be able to be crated for at least 8 hours a day as I work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. and by the time i get home, it would have been at least 10 hours of crating.

i have put a sheet up this morning in the freezing cold. hopefully that will solve the problem. will keep you posted.

this situation has caused me to lose sleep and today, i just didnt have the mind to work. kept thinking about it and how i can solve the problem and ease the situation. i am pretty upset about the whole situation. i have already got a warning from the council and i don't want to run the risks of them coming in to seize the dog. i have already bought her more toys and a sand pit where i hid toys and treats in to keep her busy. but i guess the cat is more tempting and exciting than digging for treats. i was thinking of putting a sheet up against the fence where the cat is and hopefully that will help.

today my housemate called and said that the dog was barking as there was a cat at the other side of the fence. what can i do?

thank you everyone for their encouragement. i was really freaking out when i received the note. the person who wrote the letter did not leave his/her name and he/she wrote that he/she has already complained to the council. i went to my next door neighbour and asked her about it, but she didn't write the note and didn't know who might have wrote the note. I really want to explain to the neighbour who wrote the complain note and apologize. But looks like my hand is tied. anyway. i went out and bought a clam shell and filled it up with sand and hoping that might ease the problem. and i am putting both dogs outside today and try to find out why she has been barking constantly. will keep you posted.

I received a note from an angry neighbour that Moo Moo, my newly adopted whippet barks constantly when we are not at home. I know that my next door neighbour has cats and chooks in the barkyard but the fence is at least 5 ft high and she won't be able to see through them. my neighbour has lodged a complaint to the city council, saying that Moo Moo is a nuisance dog and threatened to do more. Can someone help?

my greyhound girl loves them. and i realised now the reason why she has been putting on weight. there is just too much fat on them. hmmm... i must remember to trim off the fats. i gave some to my whippet girl and the next day she has weird looking greenish poo. I suspect it is the lamb flaps (woolies calls them "lamb off-cuts"). it could be that she is not used to the high fat contents in them.

grey pup pics are never enough... more!!! more!!!!

never heard or seen it before. :D anyone knows if they are sold in brisbane?

no amount of words can soothe your heart ache. i am so sorry. r.i.p sam. you have been a wonderful blessing to the people around you. you will be dearly missed.

How much of the Big Dog greyhound food are you feeding Sophie? We are thinking of buying them and giving them to Katie and Cindy with no kibble added.

So very sorry Mel. RIP Jye.

How to express the anal glands? How do we know that they are full?
