Your photos were not yet up when I started my post above. Even though that's a hard picture to tell from I think I can see a well defined waist....
Weight alone doesn't mean much. You have to consider age, conditionning, build. Here's an example from Oban, bench bred with moderately heavy...

Yes, I'd suspect a UTI as well. Did the Vet ask you to bring a first thing in the morning urine sample? I'd just get it ready anyway. The first...
If that were true there would not be so many healthy, kibble fed dogs around. But some ready made food is better than others. Some ingredients are...
LOL, now that definitely would not work for us. The beans would attract Oban to the fence for a snack and as he ate the bottom ones off I just bet...
Sometimes they partly jump, partly climb over. I've seen Youtubes of dogs getting over 10 foot high fences that way. A coyote roller might help...

Annie is a sweetie-pie. :)
Our fence is four feet, it was here when we bought the house. The only times it's been too low is when the snow was piled high and then it was...
I think your plan sounds good. Off leash with plenty of room for each dog to avoid the other if they wish. In my experience the key is space for...

It is a misunderstanding that the crate will toilet train a puppy. It's an aid but YOU still have to get the puppy out in time to potty. Till...
The Serpell, Duffy study offers a lot of behavioural information. Most often when we read articles on the pros and cons of neuter it's about...
You need to say something. He's not seeing your good example. If he won't see and won't respond if you speak to him then I would not let Hattie...
I usually do nails just before a walk and it has to be gushing for us not to go anyway. The walk is a reward for getting through the nail cutting...
Jet was on Metacam, then Cartrophen Vet, both Rx, till I read about weekend warrior syndrome. It was an article about people but Jet was 9 years...
WEll she's not camera shy. :) Pretty girliekins
What a relief. But what poison? Not something intentionally left out for dogs I hope. If that's what it was.
WAs it over the Christmas holiday period when there was yummy food he might have had some samples of and lots of unusual visiting and commotion...
