Oh Leanne, I'm so sorry. I agree with Swampy, maybe you need to reconsider waiting until your appointment (the 5th?) and bring it forward. Hayden might be very angry but you've got to be fair to Leo. I've been thinking of you and Leo a lot :hug:

I can't help thinking of that amazing piece of dialogue from The Princess Bride re "dominant" lady. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Bravo on a wonderful outing, and it sounds like Carbon and the Dobie had a lovely little interaction so I don't even...

The best thing about being away from the forum for a few days is getting to catch up on this thread! Fine, oh Fine, I love her. That restaurant looks really fancy. Are dogs really allowed in fancy restaurants too? Or do really fancy places say nein to dogs? Carbon's zoomies give me life...

Welcome @Jo anne and Stanley from me and Xena in NZ. You've had fabulous advice already, I just want to chime in and say that it takes dozens of hours (hundreds more like) of blood, sweat, and tears before you're rewarded with an amazing companion. I got off easy when it came to Xena in...

Oh boy, I found it hard to balance this while she was still growing and I honestly just winged it - I weighed out the recommended daily kibble and then used whatever treats I wanted. She was never fat (probably too slim if I'm honest), so whatever I did worked. If you notice pup getting podgy...

I'm so sorry to hear about Daisy. She had a good innings, and I'm glad that she had a buddy in Lilly.

What a great experience for both of them. I'm so happy that Leo is enjoying himself. I really feel for you, this must be so difficult.

I'm so glad that Axel has been by your side this year, they offer more moral support than they could ever know. Happy Birthday sweet boy.

Every day from 7am until 730pm was awful during the early months. She became a settled house dog relatively early on (comparatively!) but she still starts to get a bit antsy around mid-afternoon.

She was - and is - absolutely delicious. Happy belated gotcha, Squidge!

I'm glad to hear that it was just a spot of muscle strain. Having just been through that with Xena, I know how distressing it is. I'm glad he's feeling a little more chipper.

Maybe? She hasn't done it the following nights so there was obviously a reason that she wanted BED on that particular night.

Oh Emily, no wonder this is the worst time of year for you. Please practice lots of self care to get you through - Christmas markets, dinner with friends, a crazy fun movie, good cake - whatever you need. I've got my fingers crossed Carbon, if he's just showing antibodies then yay, but if he...

Xena only ever whimpers in the night if she's got an urgent poo. So when she woke me up with a whimper last night I ran to the gate...and she promptly ran past me on to the bed. That's a new one. She only sleeps on the bed very occasionally as OH finishes work at 2am and needs his beauty...

Did you never get poo paw when Maxx was little? Xena was a nightmare for it. She'd poop, then walk in it, then come inside, and the smell wouldn't hit me until she was on the carpet. Then it was the frantic scrabble for an old Chux cloth and scrub down the offending paw...then deal with the...

I'm so sorry Leanne, it's going to be a bittersweet holiday/Christmas for you. Thinking of you guys :hug:

I always feel better every time puppy expert @Boogie posts - a new puppy every year, and every puppy teaches her something new! What hope do the rest of us mere mortals have :D I wholeheartedly agree with what @snowbunny said. If I'm ever mad enough to do a puppy again, that'd be the main...

I can't believe that German bureaucracy is this...crazy! I'm very glad you've got the visa in your hot little hands, and I hope the whole situation is resolved well before the 6 months runs out. I'm glad that you're feeling a bit more human, hopefully you regain your strength over the course...

That was my first thought too.

You hear stuff anecdotally about Drontal, lots of dogs seem to get a bit of an iffy tum with it and behave a bit crazy. Xena only had it once and she was fine, but I now use Endogard (just because it's cheaper). You could try a different brand for his next treatment, just to see if you notice...
