Hi 20 flights a year . For how long are you away each time if you are planning on taking a dog - there are quarantine procedures etc ....

What an absolutely terrifying and horrific death for those poor apes The staff will be heartbroken ..and the survivors will be 'shell-shocked' Bloody fireworks.

No .It is definitely NOT that .

Thanks for the update...how much love cane be packed into a short life.

How did I miss this ? Happy BIRTHDAY!! Amber- if you only knew the grey hairs, the ulcers, empty wallet and the worry lines your amazing owner has from making your 10 years the best they can be for you ... You are such a lucky and loved girl .

How wonderful! Such happy families/dogs ..and the feeling YOU must get

Thanks so much for an update - keep 'em coming!! Otto is just huggable , and it seems you're doing the educating thing well. Just one thing ..he may seem almost toilet trained , BUT that baby brain & bladder has a way to go ...physiologically it takes months . 4-6 , usually . Looking forward to the next update

Wow. let me think about this one. All I can say is this poor pup probably should not have been rehomed. if her anxiety is this bad she WOULD have been showing signs before she came to you . Was she in a foster home, or did she come from a large facility/kennel? Poor little mite. Some dogs are born this way .... .

an image that made my day today ..two quick shots..One keeper! more by good luck than good management

..this is so true What they have everyday is what's hard on them. That visit from the vet OR trip to the vet is "just another inconvenience" out of many such over a lifetime....

I think your radar is working fine keep a watch for any change ....if it is serious, you will soon know, I guess! Do you have any activated charcoal? probiotics?

yes, we do and this lot of pics are particularly wonderful

I am no help to you ... I'm the better too early than too late person .... If I notice myself checking on them often ... That's a pretty good indicator.

Oh..George with little-boy legs ! LOL the cat from next door ..uh, huh... :D She looks perfect. I am glad he has some furry company . he is looking wonderfully happy and handsome , SM .Thanks for putting in some photos!

LOL..gotta love Esme the NOT-KELPIE ..she is just so different

Glad she is home so soon ..and doing well

Merry Christmas, wonderful DOLers ... Off to town for lunch with Dad ....then home to open SS presents & relax this evening ............ May the day go as well as it can May you all stay safe and healthy and have an abundance of food and smiles

Hi, @GSDmelmel Steve at K9PRO would be the only person to whom I'd recommend you. he has a great deal of experience in this exact field . LINK TO SITE

walk your puppy ON LEAD around home ..AVOID DOG PARKS pups do not NEED to go to a dog park. At all. There are way too may illnesses/bad habits/dangers there

genes get tangled in some very interesting combinations .

One that made me laugh ..and still does was a very sturdily built ACD . very boofy head- wide chest .....solid dog WITH CORGI LEGS !! Yep. Lovely dog ...just really low-slung.

Worrying for you, I know, however, a slight weight loss is hardly a symptom in a hot hot summer and growing animal ... was an x-ray done for hip problems, or just of the spine ? Is pup otherwise absolutely normal? No extra drooling? no extra drinking? keen on food, still interested in everything ? The vet clinic you go to - are they experienced with large breed pups?

Hoping everything has worked out OK .

yes, well, ... TREATS too :P

..and this is a good pointer to start training BOTH dogs to learn to spend time alone And enjoy it. make being alone that time when ONLY the best teats come out - the big raw bones , especially . NO BRB's at any other time ;)
