crate or room where the dog cannot be poked etc. you may need to cover the crate on two sides ..and stop kids putting hands in somehow ;) perhaps you will get some tips from THIS SITE...in particular their eBOOK

...and that's the thing ;) I'm glad she is with you to help.

I'm glad she has settled a bit .... keep up the good work

Dogs HAVE to lick their noses..it's not a matter of 'liking to' ;) So whatever you put on there will get licked off ...it's like us and our lips. Just remember whatever you put on there will end up in his stomach ,so pick something non toxic! I would just be tempted to bathe it in salty water a few times a day ... 3 days isn't long ...

That's a massive loss!

So sorry - she looked a lovely little girl .

yes!!!! Much more suited to his lordliness ;)

Whilst in harness .. really gee her on ... get excited and use a command word .. maybe get someone to go ahead of her ... then lots of praise for pulling IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE ;) She will soon learn that harness plus ***word = PULL

Nooo.... the full title!

;)

What, No nameplate? "Elspan Barkly Blue, esquire" ???? :p It looks lovely !

That's a great reply Hope your vet concurs .

..at 16 mths she's hardly a puppy .. and her behaviour may therefore be harder to alter . Does she LOVE carrying things? I have trained labs who, when carrying a rolled up paper or something, would walk out happily and full of confidence, tails going .. without the object .. they would present very different body language....

happier update here's hoping!

our 'pack' outside howl every night .. usually just on dark.. then again around midnight ... just for a couple of minutes ....

That's sad.. I hope mumma cat is healthy again soon, Kirty...

A sad year for you Run free Denzil & Max ..play HARD!

A cute fat muttley

I'm glad Zeuss is seeing the vet ..hope your shoulder recovers ,and you sleep well.

K9angel It may be unwise to treat Zeuss unless you know exactly what the problem is ..... get his blood done- and then you will know exactly what his levels are. feeding him something now may well muck up any blood tests he has to have in the near future...and may not help. having read that site ... they seem confused as well ;) two VERY different conditions mentioned in this paragraph It does not make me confident :0

To me ,( i may be wrong), this sounds like a " I can see something I'm not at all comfortable with .. I don't quite know what it is ..it may be unfriendly" vocalisation ..rather than 'warning you' .. Then when it comes closer and he can smell/see it's a human- he is all ready to be friendly

She's very pretty Perhaps german shepherd X? Or kelpie? Bit hard to tell from close ups

Good luck with the specialist app't. ..hope you get good news
