  1. Xena Dog Princess

    Anyone else going to be watching?..........

    Ooooh that explains a lot. I had a very mild experience of this at the dog park recently with Xena and a Staffie. Very minor, but I did think "where did THAT come from?" Didn't realise it was a breed trait.

    Copenhagen dog harness, it's brilliant!

    At least if the size is wrong it's just shipping to Sydney and not Europe!
  3. Xena Dog Princess

    Anyone else going to be watching?..........

    My cousin has a Puggle. He was from a breeder in BC (they were living in Van at the time) and now they're living in Cheshire. I'm not a fan of the look of the breed but it's definitely a way to get the hilarious Pug character with a nice healthy snoot.

    What other breeds do you like?

    That's very interesting to hear, thank you! My dog experience is so limited so in my mind these tiny little Chis are just automatically targeted by big dogs. Glad to hear that it's not necessarily the case. Fabulous! We need more Chis on the forum. SilverFalcon has a sassy little Chi but...

    What other breeds do you like?

    As much as I love the mastiff family, I'd never get a drooly dog. That also rules out Newfs even though I've never met a Newf I didn't love. I'd never get a high energy working breed unless it was a retirement situation. I'd love a sassy little Chi but it must be so hard to find ones that have...

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    He already has one! A Christmas movie, a couple of years ago now.

    Lump on the side of Hunter's Cheek

    Bloody brilliant Lorraine! What a relief *phew*

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    If Grumpy Cat can have a movie made about him then Carbon and Brogan (with guest appearances by Mama Jodhi, Fine, et al) can have a book made about them!

    A very private affair

    Xena's public but not flamboyant about it. Sometimes she'll go halfway down a steep bank to do one. Other times it's right on the edge of the track.

    Lump on the side of Hunter's Cheek

    I'm sorry that you've had to wait again, but he'll be seeing the best possible person and with any luck you'll have an answer by the end of the day. I know how worried you must be to see him so sore and uncomfortable - I had those same feelings of helplessness when Xena had sprained her back...

    Lump on the side of Hunter's Cheek

    Best of luck for today's appointment, they've really got to get to the bottom of it now.

    My Labrador Friends Book Club - Fiction Choice

    If you can, I really recommend listening to some of her interviews @Jacqui-S - this is the one that introduced me to her, conducted by her MA adviser at Cambridge 81 | Educated She doesn't outright say so, but I think she must have suffered some horrendous sexual abuse by her brother. There...

    Conjunctivitis

    Conjunctivitis seems to be a rite of passage for pups. Xena only had it the once. I'll definitely be trying @HAH's approach (the clean finger) if there's a next time!

    The spectrum of dog sociability

    I think Xena is mostly green but thankfully heading towards yellow. If she's on lead she's desperatedesperatedesperate to say hello to every other dog (although I can control that fairly well, it's not problematic), but when we're at the dog park she'll say a quick hello and then ignore. She...

    Another poo thread...

    Maybe she needs some probiotics to get the tum balanced? @M-F's much lauded kefir?

    Happy belated birthday Monty

    Happy Birthday you lovely chocolate gentleman :partyhat:

    Copenhagen dog harness, it's brilliant!

    No way, that's obscene! NZ Post got into the drop shipping game several years ago and have a depot in the US and UK. Prices are very competitive. Hunt around, you must be able to get a better deal that 50 quid!

    Copenhagen dog harness, it's brilliant!

    I was also going to suggest a drop ship service. Definitely get it in purple, choccies always look amazing in purple!

    More puzzled....

    Could he be sleep walking? So he "wakes" up but he's not really awake, and is disorientated, and doesn't realise that he's not outside and then poops? It's very peculiar that he's not "asking" to go out, and just goes there on the floor. Very peculiar.

    At what point is a rescue no longer a rescue?

    I think people just like talking about their dogs, and maybe you can get more mileage out of rescue chat than you can out of breeder chat? There's a family who I regularly see at the park who have a recently adopted Greyhound, and an older Pointer. Our chat is almost always about the...
