mind you - any lawn needs lots of water! :) We have an old buffalo lawn , which I have to water & water to keep up with the grazing kangaroos, rabbits & euros!! :p

It's not suspicious ... but also not clear ;) if you had said that you were thinking of getting XYZ dog - what health problems do these breeds suffer from , and can they be fixed/managed ...:)' /> Standards, and minis may also differ

looking so good! i would think if she were going to have a reaction to clipping it would have happened by now ?

Hi :) Is this research associated with school/uni/advertising , or just your own interest?

it is doable - however , 7 days every week , it is your responsibilty to accompany the dog outside for training, toileting & exercise . Your unit needs to be safe - any barking ,etc will need to be addressed ,and it is a whole new lifestyle ;)

:) she is such a sweet girl around humans - but her nickname is 'piranha'- she is deadly if she feels at all threatened by any creature . pint sized- but ferocious! hence her name - given her as a very tiny baby .... ;)

full of dog bed washing , the big barrow was " little Bitch"'s choice when she came home tonight.... :) (she is Don's mum and had been mustering goats up hill & down dale )

yes A chiropractor - walking on a collar instead of a harness - walking with another dog - walk in a totally different area - ok - something else. What if he is driven a couple blocks away from home .. a route he knows - and set off to walk home ??

it does really sound as if he may have a pain issue , and I agree with the suggestion of a chiropractor visit :)

my name number is in the hat

if she ate it .. it could well be - perhaps no more food tonight, and see how she is tomorrow?

have you taken him to somewhere in a car ? How far does he walk then?

;) looks like he would love to be a stockyard or truckie dog ..he could bark & bark !!

No - as green tripe is meat/fat :) if they eat horse poo/graze grass , & eat the occasional bit of fruit - they are well covered in the vegetable department , IMO ;)

I have just watched & shared :) Love the idea ! Terrific pics - all sorts of moods & weather ...

awww....

Actually , her not eating the dry stuff ..sounds as if she doesn't need it! :) her little tummy cannot hold heaps - and if she has home cooked , plus bones, plus chicken necks - she is getting good food!

Love that last photo :) Glad it's going well . Another week & you'd never guess :)

What else is she eating to stay alive ? is she able to chew/eat bones/treats? has she had a vet check ? How long do you try a new brand for ? Do you hand feed the dog ? is food left down for her to nibble , or does she get set meals ?

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
