Tied up? What ? haven't noticed a thing .... (pic taken 10 mins into an hour session - the first lesson !)

he's just weird :p

We were fortunate to be in line with the rain band drifting across/down from Broome . I bet you will get heaps later , when we are drying out ..( I hope so, anyhow ) ! It is magic!

sounds a good plan :) I don't really understand why, if the dog is feeling nauseous , or full , or bored , that a different bowl will help? her instinct is to bury the leftovers, and she will try , regardless ...

it's RAINING!! :) :) , and someone's been having a ball !

perfect :)

I meant in the building/shed ... where the beds are , sorry .

the photo they have up makes me worry about noise and stress - esp for older smaller boarders ..... not keen on just mesh in between .....

yep - just remove the bowl after a few minutes , and re-offfer after a few hours ...

he reminded me of a cartoon dog - now I know which one!! with smooth face & feet .... "Gnasher"

With his dad, Don in the 'trolley' - my universal carrier /converted pusher ;)

yep - that's usually the way . Most dogs don't mind if they sleep on a worn out old jumper

we use all sorts of plastic bread crates etc as bases for dog beds ..and use old fish bins for beds for smaller dogs/pups .

What sort of dogs..and how house proud are they ? there are a multitude of fruit/veg packing crates/bins - all sizes /colours , both new & used ! Cutting an entryway is easy ..and they are easily cleaned /stored :) THIS sort of thing..... on ebay - melbourne are THESE

kirislin - LOVE that lightning shot :D

it was indeed :) The little Aussie !

Australian Shepherd

bought baby wipes today :) Tomato juice IS wonderful ..but not wasting it on a smelly dog ;)

Lol I think he lifts his leg TOO high and sort of swivels. I have now a couple of plans, thanks. Meanwhile Tallie the norty torty loves the smell on his bed. *sigh*

*wonders if paper towel/vinegar would work?*

Dobiemum - That sounds feasible - (he does pee on himself , I know that )

Thanks - Def. not anal glands ..doesn't seem to be a UTI - he holds on fine overnight, and other times , no probs. maybe he does need more cleaning off ...... our working dogs smell - maybe it's just that he's inside , and I notice it ;)

I have never had an entire dog inside .... well, never really had an entire pet/house dog. I think Don pees all over himself ..he reeks!! It's like a fox scent ..very strong !! Apart from washing him all the time ..any suggestions? ( yes, he will be castrated in the not too distant future ;) )

Oh ! I really was expecting to read that she had bitten ! this is MUCH better news, really :) She got a fright ... which could have been prevented ... and everyone has learned something . She needs lots of simple exercises now to build her confidence again - from both of you :) good on you for persevering !
