Thanks for such nice words. :) Yes, I probably am a bit burnt around the edges at the moment. I'll have a nice rest (with helpful...
:cwl: Actually you have no idea how accurate a description that is of me in my current state. Quack, quack!
Welp, I'm laying on my lovely own sofa after two days in the hospital and VERY glad to be back home. I look a bit Gollum-like and must resist...
I wish you and your father the best of luck. Even if your puppy doesn't learn any service dog skills at all, he will be a huge help to your...
I didn't see the original post. I'm so sorry this happened to you and Rory. :( But very glad to hear you and he both are feeling/doing better....
Oops - also forgot "target" as a key groundwork behaviour to train and something you could do now. I trained that with a clicker and it really...
I'm sorry this happened to your father and hope he's making his way in recovery. Are you in the US or UK? If in the US, my experience may help...
Poor Stanley - I feel your pain, my man, I feel your pain. :bone: I don't really have any advice on the amounts, but if you are feeling the 100g...
:rofl:
That's just it - I thought the irony was great that in fact, having a puppy is most of the time massively stressful (even if very worthwhile)....

I'm all about the dogs when I pick a place on AirBnb or the like these days. I stayed in a converted garden shed in Ireland on my last trip. The...
So I'm supposed to be working today to help make up for the three days I have to take off next week. Look at what I found instead. What do you...
Dave, let's you and I form a "Wee Foot Society" as my foster dog has, over the past couple of days, discovered the joys of weeing on my left foot...
Yeah, that's kind of the weird thing about Tibor. He's such a handsome boy, really no problem in the house (once that marking issue got sorted)....
That's a good question of whether he really needs to come back with me after next week. Despite being frustrated, I'm not sure I want to do that...
Thanks, Helen. Medical issue will be fine - German docs and hospitals are rather confidence-inspiring places. :)
Thanks, Mags. This is a really helpful way to look at it. I read this yesterday and keeping it in my mind during our last walk of the day...
I've not posted anything here in a few days because frankly I'm a bit of a loss at how to describe my tenure as Tibor's foster human. It may not...
Frankly in all my puppy classes with my definitely non-Labrador dogs, I was rather perplexed why ANYONE in their right mind would get a Labrador...
