Stilton the Mighty

[HAH]

Kipper’s come on leaps and bounds today, I think letting him set the pace is key.
Awful photo but this is him choosing to settle in his usual place under the kitchen table with Stilton close by in his pen. We’ve created an ‘all clear’ cue to tell Kipper that Stilton’s secure in his pen and he can come into the kitchen without interference. And Stilton continues to be fabulous, mainly just watching Kipper and occasional squeaking to say hello.

 

[HAH]

And a bonus Stilton photo!

Loving this

I do admire the way you're managing this, respecting Kipper's space and his feelings, you've clearly thought it all through very thoroughly and are setting it up to succeed. I love the idea of the 'All clear' cue and should I ever take the decision to welcome a pup to come and join GGJ and me ( don't get excited everyone, no such plans currently!) I will certainly be taking a leaf out of your book.

Stilton's photograph makes me smile

Night night, sleep tight

*repeats* I cannot look after a puppy right now, I cannot look after a puppy right now

 

[HAH]

This puppy is just fabulous. It’s hammering down with rain at 2am, but he popped outside, did a quick wee and within 5 minutes is asleep again. No illusions it’ll always be like this, but celebrate the wins!

Such a good lil boy!

Little sweetheart

I want one!

 

[HAH]

I want one!

I dunno, sounds pretty good where you are right now?

Stilton and his littermates are all excellent feeders, but it’s no surprise that since leaving home most have been eating less - Stilton was consistently leaving ~40% off his kibble. This morning I mixed a v weak chicken stock and soaked his kibble in that for a minute, and he’s gobbled it down. Another classic I learned on this magical forum!

Have you tried bone broth? I buy it frozen and defrost when I need it. It's good for encouraging appetite and helps digestive issues . I use it for Rory it's does help him. It's supposed to help irritated tummies relax and calm down.
It's good to use in hot weather too

I made it in the past when Kipper was smol, but it was quite a greasy business. Good suggestion on the frozen stuff

What a good boy, Stilton. And he's back to looking tiny in that photo, any question of moose heritage erased!

You all know I hate the cold so 27 and sunny ground-hog days are doing some seriously good things. Our friends and family are complaining about a hideous cold snap at home

Steve just asked "what is Stilton up to?" Pictures please Harriet @HAH

 

[HAH]

Your wish is my command @Lab_adore . He worked hard for this one…
