Just thinking - a cot sounds good ..except for corners... if something is circular ... then there is no confusion or stopping ... just around&around as the brain dictates .... but I guess a bedroom can only fit so much stuff in ?
-
Ohh:( Can one get soft pens? I would hate him blundering about( although in a gracious manner) and come up against something hard W M I am thinking those circular kids playpen things made from fabric? Circular, so he can walk around and around as the urge takes him , and he cannot come to much harm. It would also be really easy to make it smell like bed just by draping bedding over it for a while before introducing him to it. and maybe lending him your pillow as well ?

LOL @steves' potty dogs . there are so many traits which pups show , and which identify them as from a certain family :) BC crazy .. your pup may well have been born anxious ..but while with her mum & littermates , and in her familiar environment , she was comfortable . Problems often show themselves after a change of home/owner... when the familiar supports have gone .
-
Newborn pups show differences in behaviour ... some are noisy , or demanding, or forceful, or placid , or are easily stressed .... I agree with temperament being genetic .

Risks Of Un-descended Testicles/de-sexing
persephone replied to Justrace's topic in General Dog Discussion
Cancer is unlikely to happen in a few months ...so, if possible let him grow and mature for a while longer :) you might like this article :) LINK Years ago we had a dog who was never castrated ..and had a retained testicle ...yes it did get cancerous - when the dog was 14 ! -
Awwwww
-
*nods* have a read here ..not saying what's right or wrong ... LINK LINK LINK
-
Training and supervision ...and later castration ..... to help him mature and be under control in all facets of his life :)
-
Accidents happen ..only takes a second . Hope he can recover well .

Loving these photos ... but am a bit disappointed that you two don't seem to spend much time just chilling ' ;) LOL Just gorgeous!!!

Groomers, What Do You Do About Cracked Hands.
persephone replied to pesh's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Can you use gloves when dog washing? Not a groomer .. but when they are cracked and painful ... I often use something like paraderm plus ..with a local anaesthetic in ..to help sleep . Put in on ..add a thin layer of vaseline ..and gloves if you can bear them to sleep in . A few nights of this will help heal the cracks .... then wear gloves at work as much as you can ..and use a non - scented moisturiser as often as possible. I would also suggest rubbing in paw paw cream , covering with gloves , when you are watching TV or sleeping .....until it eases off ..then just paw paw cream every night ...? I hate dry cracked knuckles in Winter Oh..also , take Zinc and some extra vit C to help :) *goes to get tablets * ;) -

.... Rehoming this girl is not really an option, IMO. EVERYONE needs to go away from home at some stage ..or leave dog inside/outside alone.... and it wouldn't be fair on owners or dog . I think your friends deserve a medal! I wouldn't do it ....... Glad you are getting a good break , anyway - it will help! :) -
:D

I and he looks to have a lovely smiley attitude :) (I guess adding 'dingo' to a mix makes it seem a MUCH cooler dog to own )

sleep is good :)

Could Mum have bitten /squished him ?
-
Vet visit would be my first idea ... shame he's had pain meds, really - they may mask a problem for diagnosis, poor little fella . Hope he's Ok soon .

Separation Anxiety - Rescue Dogs Help!

Paddo Pup ..grab a (large) coffee and read this thread right through .... it will show you many of the ups& downs you have experienced, and many you have not!! it will also show the difference having decent professional advice made in this case. LINK TO THREAD Obviously each dog/home life/owner is different .. so strategies need to be tailored to the individual situation . Sometimes though , dogs are born nervous and sensitive , and repeated stresses worsen it ... then the kindest thing is to let them have their wings and find peace...
