Tennis ball :D
@David, that is very interesting, never thought of that! I know doctors ask you what you want to do, which I always think is strange as they are...
I promise you will forget all this, I cannot remember if my Labs were biting or not, I have a vague memory that they might have done the first day...
My German Pointer was bitten by an adder and although poorly, recovered well. Once she was on point and a rabbit jumped out of the bracken but she...
You mention that you give him 'lots of encouragement' when he is eating, this may be putting him off? Try putting the bowl down and just leaving...
Having worked for a vet when everyone seemed to have bills, we did not have to pay at the time and I could also call a vet out for a home visit...
I walk the dogs in any weather, except when it is very hot. When hot, I put them in the pond first so that they cool as they walk.

Good to be home and I think you look rather glamorous, though I guess you don't feel like it. You and Libby will both miss each other but it will...

The best thing to do is to keep him on the kibble the breeder feeds for at least the first fortnight and then if you want to change it, gradually...
Lovely to read your encouraging post, it will help all the ones at the moment suffering from 'puppy blues' :)
I am so very sorry to read your sad news. What does the vet advise? Unfortunately splenic cancer is unpleasant and also if he has some cancer in...
I am so sorry Kate that your words fell on deaf ears. Unfortunately people are so keen to breed their dogs they just will not listen. Perhaps...
All three of my male dogs had this problem, hence I had them castrated! So no, it isn't just your dogs :D I began to wonder if my dogs were the...
I used the crate as a safe place to put my pup when I went out, or had a shower etc. Once the dog is trained and safe in the house, I removed it....
