A resource worth eating/playing with + hours + confinement + a certain amount of stress = a worry .

Gold Giving a lawyer a lesson in law was really quite funny! Why I love D O L .. it is one huge learning experience!

I'd have two runs ., and treats/bones etc for each one :) . I wouldn't trust two dogs in a small enclosure like that ... all day ... with nothing to occupy them except themselves, basically ....

yes ....

I *whew* I'm glad it says samurai swords .. I use a machete on the arms ;)

:) good for Coles. I hope it is of help.

My guess is because he hasn't had much exercise, and he gets more food than he needs ... Two walks a day would be terrific for his wellbeing , physical and psychological :) I know you say how wonderful he is ... has he lived the apartment life before? he may get bored/frustrated after some weeks of sitting inside all day ..and you may well see some behaviour change. At present everything is novel , and for all he knows, tomorrow he might be doing something different ;)

Possible. Has he been checked for any infection ? That might be an idea ... Also .. when you are home take him somewhere to toilet every 20-30 minutes .....but have a vet check first . Not sure but he may not yet be recognising when he has to 'go ' there may need to be much more training involved - he may also be confused ... he is only a baby still ... When he walks out on the footpath .. might I suggest ..every few minutes take him to the kerb ..and encourage him to pee - then as soon as you feel him slow down on a walk.. dash to the kerb(not ON the street ..just the edge of the path ... GENTLY ..and praise him HEAPS if he pees even a drop nearer the kerb Vet check first though - then perhaps a trainer to visit you and help you manage things :)

wise - they hurt!! ;)

Does not apply to dogs , cats, stampeding Rhino or charging Lions. what about zebra?

have a look HERE Can't really help , but don't quite understand how he toilets everywhere when you are with him ? Do you miss the signs? have you tried having him attached to you on a longer light leash ? Sorry , not much help - have never had a pup in a flat/apartment ....

boronia- why not send natalie a private message ? She may see that :)

My cats/dog eat different things - they are fed in different rooms , so there isn't a problem :)

Awww.. a happy ending to a tragic accident . Well Done - and I hope Jess & Sammy are pleased to be back with family :)

poor boy he is so well housetrained that he will hold on for way too long. I agree - give him more opportunity to empty out - this will keep him comfortable. A toilet break is different to a walk :) When you take him for the 5-10 minutes needed for a toilet break .. tell him it's for wees or, for a 'busy' time - whatever term you like . That way , over some time, he will learn .. :) he's got a lovely sweet face !! :D

..You will LOVE the Just Joey rose .. I think it may be a climber ? It is beautiful. How lovely. Glad things are tootling along as they should ... it will be a sad time ..and that's fine :) Miah will be a blessing to Renae and to you - ..and we do need more photos of her now ;)

Awwww... Lovely!!!

he certainly is "handsome hunk hank " :)

Jules .. how are you ? I hope you are all doing OK .

:laugh: Oh, Dear :D

T ( interesting choice of word) Hmmmm... ..I hardly call that 'data based evidence' ...unless the evidence is a lack of bite scars... (sorry, I HAD to ) I am very sorry the people lost their dog in that fashion ..

police went to someone's house..a dog died ... that's really all we have as fact .. so the Wotif personage, not being present , can not add anything verifiable ;)

cruel, IMO would have been a tazer, and or/capsicum spray, or a bullet or two in a non lethal spot causing much pain & confusion .... this seemed to be an instant death ....a 'humane' end, as some would say ...

Glad it's seeming to help :) - altho cooking the frames (bones) seems unnecessary to me ..any reason she cannot eat it raw, or have I missed something?
