    1-4 am poops, 2 weeks and counting

    One week on, and we've had 2 nights of waking (Sunday and Thursday, only one of them was for poops, the other one was to muck about in the garden 🤦). Last night she hopped off the bed which made me wake up, and then I heard her trotting up the stairs to wake up my mum! So I called her...

    Watermelon, anyone??

    The fact that he had a good chomp must've helped, what a relief.

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

    A day with old friends and a night with a new friend and a sofa and ML - sounds like the perfect day, Carbón.

    1-4 am poops, 2 weeks and counting

    No poops last night! Not counting my chickens yet, but it's a start. I'll continue with 5 pm dinner, see how she goes. @M.F. she's a couple of weeks overdue for her worming (I always do it regularly, given her penchant for eating poop). I definitely need to get onto it, just in case.

    1-4 am poops, 2 weeks and counting

    Well she had her dinner at 5, and a short walk (with poo) at 730. I can't see how she could possibly have another one in the chamber for 2 am, so 🤞 she lasts until morning. Yes, I have wondered if it's connected somehow. I hope it's not and that this is just a coincidence.

    Dawn and I did a capybara experience at Wellington Zoo last year - best day of our lives. We weren't allowed to directly touch them and had to stay seated at all times, but they all ran over when their food came out and we got to scratch them with back scratchers. When they're happy their fur...

    1-4 am poops, 2 weeks and counting

    @Ashley I think the middle of the night is replacing the breakfast poop. Nothing different in the Kongs or her food. She's not scared of the yard, uses it happily at all hours of the day.

    1-4 am poops, 2 weeks and counting

    My only worry with pushing out dinner is the inevitable whiny performance when we start eating. I know, I can train it out, but it'll be annoying 😆 Coincidentally (or not) this has started after poopmageddon i.e. the night when we didn't hear her cry and she pooped on the carpet.

    1-4 am poops, 2 weeks and counting

    It's just kibble that I keep aside from her daily ration. I started it when she was younger because otherwise I'd get the early morning hunger puke. We're talking maybe 10 pieces of kibble...that shouldn't affect her poops, should it?

    There but for the grace of god and all that. So glad that you were there and that it ended up ok.

    1-4 am poops, 2 weeks and counting

    We've only had a couple of very cold nights, so it's not the cold. I could try a fixed dinner time. 5 pm seems so early! I'm not even home at that time on some days, but there are two other adults in the house so I could make it work. She always gets a little sprinkle of kibble after last...

    1-4 am poops, 2 weeks and counting

    Xena has gotten up for a poop (nice and solid) almost every morning for the past 2 weeks. I feel like this is surely just a temporary glitch in her poo cycle, but the longer it goes on the more I'm starting to despair - it's hard to fall back asleep! She gets dinner when we eat, which is...

    Xena had an amazing case of the zoomies this morning after I got her breakfast ready. Grabbed my slipper, did the slipper zoomies around the room complete with this incredible little bounce, like a gazelle. I think it's called sproinking? Well she just sproinked and sproinked and sproinked...

    @Anne123 are you able to teach him English, or are you only able to read/write in English, not speak it? I love that he wants to learn it in order to read Harry Potter, what a lovely goal ❤

    Samoyed help

    Is it the sight of the washing or the flapping noise? Sight is solvable - erect some sort of mutually agreeable fence/make the fence higher. Noise'll be tougher...block it out by putting in a fountain? 🤷

    The thing about houses is that if you're planning on holding on to them for a few years, you're going to made a profit, so if it makes your life easier then get (good) tradies in. Painting is one of those things that is easy, but incredibly time consuming. I'm now at the point in my life where...
