A Valentine's Morning to remember .. I think your idea of avoiding concrete a good one - hope your old boy continues to enjoy his walks .....

:laugh: I'll tell him. LOL

Oh ! eyeses !! ( and we really do need more Marcus hand pictures. Really :p )

Hmmm.. I guess my all time favourite thing when I have had pups was one particular ball toy!! I first bought it way back in around 1984 ...and it was a favourite for 3 pups after that! It's still going ..is under the couch, I think ;) It was originally for human babies - pink in colour, with raised letters of the alphabet on it ..and a squeak. Have a read here , too - this kind of information is priceless! happy waiting :)

poor little guy ... hope that's the end of it now :)

Hmmmm.. Hope all is well this morning .

it sounds as if the Lab is having FUN .. people move and make noise and push at him as he gallumphs onto the couch ... he enjoys it very much, perhaps ;) SO >>>>> get him his own chair/beanbag/raised bed ..and when he's on it , that is where he gets cuddles ..where he gets his denta bone or treat dispenser :) make his bed FUN ..not punishment , so he gets into the habit :)

the main thing I can come up with is give him somewhere as good as /better than the couch :)

Who needs Anne Geddes' photos , when there are baby Nekos ??? So yummy !!

LOL - sometimes stuff will disappear from a cat bowl. or coffee table etc ... but usually it's easy to work out what happened- there is very often a favourite dog toy left a the scene!!

:) Our puppies all learn 'gimme' ..and mostly will happily relinquish what they have in their mouths - be it toys/bones /stolen property . Bowzer - it's a great idea. !

Yes your quite right about having a circular one and also concave. Only problem as far as I am aware they have to be imported and at great expense. They also come with in built heating. I think the cheaper option is, as previously suggested, a clam shell pool and then buy a heat pad. I prefer to have one section warm and part of it not heated so they can crawl off the heat if they want to. If I ever breed another litter this is what I think I will go for. sounds a good plan ... I was thinking of something like a papasan Chair - you remember ? those cane half sphere things - gorgeous to sit in - impossible to get out of ? LOL aaah yes those were the days, when we were young and lithe and slim...........and we still couldn't get out of the damn things! :laugh: LOL!! That's it!

oi ... no fair . you posted without a photo :p

Noooooo ! he was happy because his night-shift was over !. because he enjoys barking at things .. he gets to be the one tied in the middle of the "lawn" to keep kangaroos off . They have all but destroyed any lawn what with drought ... Dogs on Night Duty get their doonas , their dinner and a water bucket ....and some bread & peanut butter when their shift ends ;)

Sorry, Scottsmum ..T is correct :) WAGS - P's dad is an absolute devil when it comes to working goats ...and has a habit of starting fights amongst any dogs around ...but is the clingiest , softest dog around humans ... yesterday, there was a ski boat making an odd noise .. I had a bat eared dog plastered to my front .. head buried under my ear , his front legs around my neck .... (and no iphone for a selfie :p )

...The Boss's dogs are known locally as "milkshakes" all mixed up ! ;)

Cause they are easier to make. :D I made my own and no way could I make a curved one. Lots of people do use clam shells or blow up pools dependng on the size of the dog. fair enough :)

pudden- his dad , mum , and maternal grandma . he is a LOT like his maternal grandma in looks , size and temperament .
