Shamas started his Clomicalm yesterday. It'll take a few weeks to become active in his system. Interestingly, he's not peed in the house since the Trazadone was weaned off. He's also leaving water in the water bowls, and keeping his head out of the toilet. and I might be wrong...but his...

FINALLY, Angel is learning to SIT when she wants attention...she leans heavily n your legs...which is a problem as she's a good 65lbs...but every time she does that, I run my fingers along her back hip and say "sit" then pet her while saying "calm..good calm" She cringes a little, but wags her...

Quite cheerful. He brought me a little bear he found. Took almost 20min before he started baking at the puppy. He's very bossy and she's not an angel.....he barks everything she does something she shouldn't be, and a human is not stopping her. Trouble is, a lot of times it's just his rules...

Lungs are clear. No pneumonia , or tumors to account for his occasional wheezing and groaning when he lays. The new lump is just fatty. Vet wants a first pee to check kidneys. After that, her top concern is diabetes incipetus? I suspect without a health cause on the discomfort and groaning...

Waiting at the vets....running chest xrays, bloodwork to see if we can get to the bottom of Shamas peeing. Plus the last couple days he's been groans and uncomfortable when laying down...

Shamas refuses to turn left from the corner, towards the main road. If I can get him as far as the corner...... If I get him to the corner and turn right, we'll go to tim Horton's and back for a decent walk. Quite often though, since the bite incident, it's out the front door, 2 houses one...

He's pretty chill at the behaviorist. As in flaked out on the floor chill lol. Barely even reacts to her dummy dog. Panting, avoidance no lunging. His extreme stress is definitely our-block specific I'm going to bring that up with Michelle when we restart. (Closed over Christmas) If she...

So my son brought up something I hadn't thought of Dogs don't Naturally eat dairy. I've been using cheese to mask the taste of the pills He thinks the dog is mildly allergic to dairy, causing him to feel funny in his mouth, making him drink more. Which would account for incontinence without...

Shamas little tail wag when I showed him the hideaway that I set up for him behind the couch today. It gives him a place in the livingroom to go away from the puppy and relax

I will. I was going over this thread...his accidents started 9 days after the medication. I can't help but think it's linked, even if the vet doesn't. In 5 years that we had him he only had 3 accidents and we could say with certainty what caused it. Now.....3 in one day is not unheard of.

so I'm beginning to question my decision to put Shamas on Trazadone... After a couple of months on it, Shamas is having regular (3-4x/week) accidents. A few days it's been multiple in a day. He is only able to "hold it" for about 2-3 hours between pees. He's also always thirsty, though his...

Angel did well on our walk at Chapters today. I brought along dried liver and used the book cases to my advantage, so that each time she pulled I stopped and waited, rewarding her return to me, and changing directions. When someone asked to see her, I gave them a treat and asked them to have...

Yes, that would be helpful :)

I'm very pleased with angels ability to "read the room" She backs off quickly and adjusts to others' comfort levels. I do think that we will want to work some more with the behavioralist regarding the ability to acknowledge and dismiss though....she just gets so excited about people and...

See, this is a new concept to me. My family is all of the " let the old dogs teach the young dogs" brand of thinking. Not that we allow snapping and snarling but we have always had dogs and we believe that the best way for dogs to learn to interact with dogs but to be taught by stable dogs...

Yes, we're very pleased. we put shamas in the yard for the initial integration. Just to be sure...Toby and Chloe make up the overall pack, but we didn't know if he'd get protective when Toby corrected her the first few times. So we thought it best not to have him in the room. Just in...

I'm really guppy with how Christmas with the pack went. Angel was very excited to start with.....but people and dogs alike gave her something akin to the cold shoulder until she calmed down.....that took about 1/2hour. Praise/petting was only rewarded for calm behavior. Once she started...

LOL I just let the dogs out, and Shamas went at the fence...angel took one look, and Leaped on his head! Hard to be the neighborhood loudmouth with a puppy your size standing on your head lol! She likes the dog next door, and didn't much like Shamas being grumpy at her.....Her solution...

Muzzle work lol. Peanut butter bribe. She's completely focused on stuffing her face in it

No ill effects in Angel from her latest escapade. Aside from black smudges in her fur from the Charcoal lol. she's definitely becoming a teenager....she's taken to leaping on Shamas' back to chew on his ears. and yesterday she chewed on the mattress. We're using her muzzle to prevent...
