Thanks, Keiko is doing really well now, so I feel very happy!

Thank you for the comments and wishes everyone! What I hope will come across to people is that it can be quite tricky to diagnose this without scanning, particularly if you have a healthy and strong dog. I hope I'm a good dog owner in many respects, but I am completely average when it comes to...

I just wanted to take a little time to give forum users a warning on this subject. My dog, Keiko, has just been through an operation to remove her uterus after experiencing pyometra. I cannot tell you how scared I was, particularly considering that we lost Kai a few weeks ago. In the lead up...

I lost a dog that I was close with recently, and it really hurt. I know that when my Keiko goes, I will be devastated. I have tried to prepare myself for this, but nothing ever could. All I can say is that nothing can ever replace your loss, but time is a healer. It's a cliche, but it's true...

Thank you for the comment and for taking the time to watch the video, I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch the video. It really means a lot to me. I'm sorry that I made you cry, but I'm glad that I touched you!

Thank you for taking the time to watch it. That really means a lot to me. All you can do is be there for Freddie, make his life as happy as possible, and treasure every moment. Every day with these amazing friends is a gift.

You're absolutely right, but Keiko has always been very sociable with other dogs, she loves to play with them, and bonded very well with Kai. I am hopeful that it would work well if integrated properly.

Thank you. We have to remember, and I do remember, that the positives far outweigh the negatives. You can't have the light in life without the dark. The good thing that has come out of this is that I've realised that I need to get another dog to keep Keiko company, so I'm excited about that.

My friend's Staffie, Kai, passed away this week. I have spent a lot of time with him over the years, but I didn't realise how much he meant to me until I started digging up some old pictures for my friend. There is a backstory here. When I first met my friend, we were dating, and I knew before...

Unfortunately, dogs love treats, but then you may have noticed that we humans don't always eat what is good for us!

Hope everything works out well.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you can remember all the happy times.

As suggested elsewhere, sometimes there can be a trigger issue. For example, my friend's dog was scared of cars (perhaps understandable having been hit by one!), and he became more and more anxious about being near traffic. There could be a similar issue with your dog.

I don't think there is much you can do about this, unless a cyclist was obviously in breach of the law. It surprises me the irresponsible way that people use roads generally, but I suppose you have to remember that most people are sensible.

Glad things have settled down!

That seems quite unusual, perhaps there could be an underlying cause?

Fundamentally, he doesn't want to be on a lead! Even the best-behaved dog will prefer to be unleashed, so I think a lot of the change in behaviour comes from that. All you can really do is try to reinforce good behaviour and keep plugging away over a period of time.

Really beautiful and adorable.

One thing you could consider doing is using BorrowMyDoggy, and spending time with other dogs on a temporary basis. This might help to soften the blow.
