  1. make SURE the gaps are no more ..and the fence is VERY high - pups can scramble/climb take him back out there with you - give him a bone or some treats - do not fuss ....
  2. yep !! Wears his bigboy status with a bit too much pride , as the baby brain hasn't quite caught up ;)
  3. practising being in the back of the 4WD - with granny "little Bitch" as support
  4. he is FINALLY growing legs , yes!
  5. Oh - and the snaphook is his 'symbol of adulthood' as he is on a chain at night now ... yes, yes, I know .... he has a lovely bed, a treat dispenser , a carrot or apple , usually a froz chicken frame - a few toys , and his cushion. There hasn't been a peep out of him - even the first night , and he doesn't toilet overnight , either . he knows now .. when I say - BED - he races over to his spot , sits & waits for the yummy whatevers ....he is a funny dog .:)
  6. "Do I look more like a SHEEPdog now ?"
  7. I have shared that - it's great ... I would just let the sheep find their own way I think .... throw something yummy into their paddock .... I'm a coward ;) I will show this to my brother too!
  8. Eek! I like how says' "thankyou" at the end - and uses the colours as commands :) there is no way on god's earth I would even BE there - let alone try & herd sheep that is one BIG drop down ..... Love the little dog's joy and speed :) thankyou.
  9. the pain of watching food come out the microwave .....
  10. why wouldn't you report it ? it is a danger to itself, and others.
  11. That's good news :) For everyone, it seems !
  12. Since january!! poor dog Definitely a Different Vet , I think!!
  13. That amazingly shiny coat gets me :) She really is maturing nicely.
  14. if this has been going on for some time , you do need blood tests and faecal sample tests to check organs like pancreas/liver - to see if there is infection /inflammation - to check for things like tiny giardia (which are not killed by normal worming)
  15. working dogs - once a day old dogs twice or three times pups/young dogs - twice .
  16. perhaps a second opinion is needed? Did the vet test a faecal sample /do blood tests? She may have a parasite .. or be intolerant to a certain food .. or ... It cannot be pleasant for anyone i would also be asking questions of the "minder" as to what different things your dog ate /played in/drank /was given ..or did she come in contact with any ill dogs ..... Hope she feels better soon .
  17. Sorry you're in Hosp . - hope you're out & about soon :) That's a great handyman OH you have - although that fence seems a bit low ? is that the only fence separating them from the rest of the world- or is it an enclosure in your yard? You could try, for toileting , a large rectangle of good artificial turf , with something like a large Conni Critters pad underneath ... that way the turf can be hosed, and the pad replaced/washed - and paving remain clean & dry :)
  18. ..and if anyone can translate my "links? puter not being helpful, sorry ..
