Hi I rescued a dog about 4months ago he was very very reactive to Other dogs. I will be honest there were times when I thought I may have to return him because I was terrified he was going to attack other dogs and other owners didn't help as even though he was muzzled and leashed they looked at...
I only offer this because you have asked for advice but I have a friend with a Norfolk terrier and he is an absolute cutie. He is older and a little bit portly so I can't say what a young dog would be like,but I would have him in a heartbeat.
Yes this is something you must consider when you get a dog in later life. You may be fit and healthy now but you must think what would happen if this was not always the case. I was seventy when I retired and decided that an older dog rather than a puppy would be the best option. That would mean...
I read this post and my heart went out to you i thought, this poor lady is tearing herself apart. I wracked my brain trying to think of help for you but could not think of answer. Then this morning I logged on and the kind resourceful members are wading in with useful ideas which sound to me as...
I had always had dog's from being a little girl and got another when my two boys were old enough. I always worked full time at the major hospital in my area . My mum lived just across the road and came to take him out to walk when I was at work . When she died my dog died six weeks after. I...
Nice to hear that other people sometimes let their dogs have human food i thought it was my guilty secret. I went to choir practice last night and forgot to move a packet of malted milk biscuits i had left on the unit. When I got home Buster was lying in front of the woodburner looking very smug...
I REALLY like you Shalistsa I feel we have stuff in common i don't want you to ever think that i would EVER hurt any dog i love them all. I was born in a different time there was only one sort of collar for your dog.We always loved out Little dogs and even when in those times were smacked or...
II absolutely love my little fella we are both very very happy i give him puppy snuggles every night when we go to bed . My mum loved me and did her best in very different times as I'm sure you're did .
You sound to me as if you are doing very well as he is still an adolescent. I wish I could speak to my dogs former owners i know the immediate former owners only had him for four weeks but i would love to know his life history before that. I have been to pop choir rehearsal this this evening and...
I went to see my friends new Stafford pup last week on God he was adorable. He had just eaten and His little pink belly was massive. I could have eaten him I have pupper envy.
Funny the stuff they carry with them into adulthood. My son's dog when he was a kid was Sam, when his son was born he called him Samuel. Could have been worse could have been Fido.
My Mum used to knock lumps off me.but I never doubted she loved me. As an adult i daren't go in her house and say i liked something because it would immediately be in a bag for me to take home. I miss her so much God rest her.
Well done Robyn, dogs have such funny ways but I bet of she had to defend you she would do so to her last breath. Do you know dog's only sleep with those they consider family?
As always you speak a great deal of sense we will always have people with opposing views and that is fine it is part of being human. Just as long as we don't try and force our views on others like doorstep religious zealots. We can ask for advice of we need it and just enjoy the chat if we don't.
