This is Roxys leg today. It was shaved right back to the skin 23rd of August so not that long ago and it’s full growth now. It was where all the lighter brown bits are.
:D:D:DLaughing at the bangs over her eyes. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that can make a difference.
Well done for spotting that. I’m just happy if Roxy and Spike will sit and stay on command so I’m no help on training forums.
Yes like getting a dog walker/sitter in if you are working all day etc the dogs welfare needs should be put first. Putting a pup in a crate for 7 hours in the day would not meet its welfare needs and it’s the needs of the pup that are important here. If you cannot meet a puppies needs then IMO...
I think in the UK we probably have different ideas about pets this is probably why you are getting the replies about welfare of your dog.
The Dogs Trust, like the PDSA, recommends in their ‘Beating Boredom’ factsheet that a dog is not left for more than 4 hours a day. The Battersea Dogs & Cats...
Thank you! I think that’s the first time anyone has ever said my dogs are cute Naughty, evil, crafty and lazy are some of the words used by those that know them
Roxy had 7 removed at the vets this year. They only decided to do it because one of them on her neck had become really big where she had been catching it under bushes and it kept bleeding, trying to stop her was a nightmare. As she’s 14 they were wary of the anaesthetic but it had to be done...
He’s a Jack Russell with a bit of a cross of something else that has completely removed all traits of a Jack Russell, no prey drive at all, would sleep all day, very laid back dog.
This is where Spike sleeps and you have to get in around him he becomes a dead weight and can’t be moved. Roxy will come up and cuddle until you dare to move, even slightly, then she moves like you’ve pinched her and shoots off the bed.
It does sound like a vestibular attack, my previous dog, collie cross had one, he was unsteady on his feet for a while, like he wanted to go left but would stagger right, frightened the life out of me I can tell you. Took a while but he he did recover, he lived till he was 15 x
Have you tried a child/baby long sleeve t.shirt on Roxy? It may stop her trying to scratch or at least if she does it won’t touch her skin. I have used them on both of mine. That’s my Roxy modelling a short sleeved one lol she loved wearing one and would push her head in.
