- was it smelly? My 2 (and the only 2 I've ever known!) do comedy farts daily - loads of noise AND NO SMELL!!!

My lot are definitely noise over substance. They toot daily (often while jumping onto the sofa!), but only very occasionally do they smell.
As a puppy, though, Willow was EVIL!

Haha, monty farts audibly but no smell when walking up the stairs.. and frequently when he does an enthusiastic counter surf !

Smelly farts spell trouble usually, I think, in adult dogs

Omg omg OMG!!!! He slept through the night!!! Without weeing or pooing!!! I went to bed at 10:35,
(no screaming) set my alarm for 2:15, when alarm went off there was no noise at all so I went back to sleep, next alarm 4:30, got up thinking arrrrghhh ......downstairs and he was still snoozing I’m chuffed beyond words!! the trick is not to drag him out once he’s settled down for over half hour, cos that must just wake him up again! See what happens tonight

Hooray @Georgesmum !!!!

On the previous topics:
1. Maxx is still not on the couch but has never even looked like he wanted to. Easy
2. No dog on the bed or in the bedroom
(a) No dog on the bed but he tries it on sometimes and is unceremoniously removed
(b) he sleeps in our room on his bed on the floor....until a few days ago. He's noisy so we moved his bed just outside our room so he has been falling asleep there but then at some stage moves to our room and sleeps on the carpet
3. Gin is mandatory
4. Maxx's farts clear the room but going on your comments this will hopefully change when he is older

Haha, Anna, I think you fit right in here! What with your gingerbread gin (*cough* sharing is caring) and your blatant pushoverishness* when it comes to puppy cuddles. Yep, you’re one of us!

I was very firm on the “no dogs on the sofa” rule until Willow was spayed. I have litter mates and her brother, Shadow, went to stay with friends while she was recovering. Two things happened: 1. Shadow was allowed on their sofa so when he came back home, he jumped up like it’s where he belonged all along and
2. Willow had such a hard time post surgery, and was so miserable, that my heart of stone turned to jelly and I let her up.

Since then, I have gained two more dogs and relinquished all sofa rights of my own



* it has been said that I make up words on occasion. I will neither confirm nor deny.

Haha pushoverishness is a fabulous word

 

[HAH]

Brilliant @Georgesmum , well done little George!

 

[Loraseal]

Well done George and @Georgesmum.

 

[MellowYellow]

Hey!!!! That's great news!!!!

Just... don't expect it to happen EVERY night, he will probably have good nights and bad nights... but the fact that he has done it once shows he CAN sleep right through, and he will again!!! Well done you!!!!

I was thinking the same thing lol, see what happens eh? I’ll do the same as I did last night

 

[Georgesmum]

I came upstairs for a shower and to get dressed, leaving George in his playpen, he screamed for about 10 minutes, now all has gone quiet.......am wondering how long I can get away with hiding in my bedroom for .....it’s been a good 10 minutes since he stopped making a racket...hmmmm

 

[edzbird]

I would go down now, just to show him all is OK.

 

[Georgesmum]

Just did, he was quiet, but now I’m standing in the same room and he’s started again....waited for quiet then took him out for a wee
