Best of luck with the poor old boy - not what he needs- or you

I would suggest that you try meds - BUT please get a consult with a Veterinary behaviourist - NOT your GP vet . That way you can also ask about crating .Not sure if that would have him anxious with nowhere to go /nothing to do to alleviate it .Other habits may develop...?

..and I was impressed at how calm you were with all the carry-on happening .

LOL! Guilty :p

Ranga - is that like being out somewhere & forgetting there is no garbage disposal under the table ????

Must admit - I use a similar eco friendly cleaner for saucepans with bits stuck on the bottom ;)

:) Lovely Seven . Congratulations.

Don't know , sorry . what things does he have that he is allowed to chew? Bones deer antlers kongs nylabones plastic drink bottles cardboard cartons Large Rope toys also - these toys are fantastic - long lasting , and tough. AussieDog.

Interesting concept :)

yes

if the MF has had previous experience ..maybe her? how will she cope being an only dog though?

Sometimes , if an owner is given to know that there is help available in removing the dog from their yard , and finding it a home , their first kneejerk reaction disappears. Faced with sobbing kids/mauled pet (possibly the first experience of death)... and the apparent heartlessness/aggressiveness of the once -cute puppy ..one answer looms large - and other solutions just do not enter into it . Sure, there are folks who would PTS just because ... Hope this situation was resolved happily.

course she likes bacon ! ;) not allowed it ..but will scoff any that lands near her ...

maddy --- priceless!!! :D

Fried Egg daisies, & Trouble this evening .

When I watched it back I was surprised at how Irish I sounded. I've lived here nearly ten years. I thought it was as good as gone! It's just beautifully blended now :)

brilliant :)- and what a gorgeous accent!!!!

verry cute :)

It really does boil down to how pups grow & develop on whatever they are given :)

:)

why? because she's a dog ..they see their world thru scent. Read here if you want a full explanation : CLICK

Dogs use their smell a LOT - and their bodies react . It is ESSENTIAL that any articles with body fluids on are completely locked away from dogs . Close doors - immediately bin/wash items..and put things out of reach.

Not knowing the story ... you have a Chi? I figure that if neighbours are so upset by the noise, then they would be happy to do diaries etc to help you stop it! I think it's a shame that council see it as such a horrible thing to do - but will happily advocate anti bark collars etc ...

thanks folks ..not sure if I will pop in here regularly ... too many have crossed the bridge from here to better places in the past couple of years ... Thank you everyone for following April's journey...

April was sent over the bridge last week .... It was some time coming , due to declining health and I feel it was the right thing . Dear April - she had such funny ways - and our late night rambles were such an enjoyable time for us all . No rambling eulogy - just a "That'll Do, Pig"..and another empty spot in my heart ....
