Pinchy Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hey guys!! Long time reader (years:| ) first post! I am finally getting a puppy!!! I am absolutley beside myself, it's been a long time since I have had a pup, my last dog GR passed suddenly in 2009 he was 8. My new pup is coming home late Jan, currently almost 2 weeks old border collie boy!! I have been waiting such a long time, but these last weeks are killing me!

dotdashdot Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Just over a week left, and they're very rural not sure how easy it would be to get another food. I've found and bought something almost identical to the dog pro, cobber. Not exactly my cup of tea but it should make the transition easier.. I hope I know it's not recommended but when I got Cleo I switched her food instantly. I really didn't want to get Supercoat at that time, and there were no ill effects or diarrhea. With Nala I've taken it slow and bought the supercoat and the stuff I was switching too, and she's had the runs! Totally cut Supercoat out now, and her poos are firming up again. Cobber, Dog pro, Bonnie, Coprice would all be in the same basket really, much of a muchness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippin13 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 My breeder's dog only had one puppy so now instead of getting one in January I have to wait til she tries again in February and if I'm lucky will have my baby bulldog sometime in June. The wait is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinchy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks Lhok! I am so excited!! Pippin13 the last bit of waiting is the worst! Unlucky about not getting a January pup:( The right one will come along :) I have already picked his name, he will be Flick. Couldn't bear for the kids to name another animal around here..the last one a cat who they called white snowflake, she gets whitey for short;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hey, snowflake aint that bad. I can't remember who it was on here had a kid who wanted to call an animal 'wintage pie' There are some killers out there! Flick is nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliwake Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Lhok any idea what breed you will go with this time or the same? Will treble being staying on? (sorry if this has been answered and I missed it) I was wondering this too - would love a Treble update, Lhok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhok Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 After heaps of talking it over with multiple assistance dog trainers, his breeder and my vets, it is in Treble's best interests once he is stable to find another home as it won't be fair on him to leave him at home all the time while the new dog and I go out the other thing that would put him at risk is if I ever have to go away Treb would have to go into boarding while the other dog would come with me which everyone agrees would be very hard on Treble and would stress him out which puts him at risk of an Addison's crisis which is life threatening. It sucks as I want to keep him because he is an awesome dog and I love him so much. The new assistance dog will be a Rottweiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks for the update Lhok, I'm really sorry you've had to make such a hard decision I know you adore Treble and will miss him like crazy! Hopefully it will be 3rd time lucky with your lovely new rottie pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdogs Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 That's so sad for you Lhok, but in the long run best for Treble to find a loving & caring home. Good luck with your new rottie pup, any idea when you will get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhok Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Not really I need to chat to some rottie breeders first, I have had a few recommendations (well 7 have been recommended :p) so that's a lot of homework to do. I know I would like a female unless there is a boy that has all the right qualities. --Lhok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippytails Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Such a tough decision for everyone. Oooh another Rotti pup to drool over. Hopefully it wont be too long until you have another gorgeous furry in your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 A Rottie is a perfect choice :) Sorry about Treb though, must be heartbreaking but knowing that you are doing the right thing by him should help a little. Hugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esky the husky Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The sibe has it down pat. She has this ability to whine until OH will let her out. She even discovered a new, more annoying, higher pitch last week :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esky the husky Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The sibe is currently beta testing the puppy yard. She's found all the weaknesses and I've now fixed them all up. For now ... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
