WEll first of all, THREE flights of stairs, wow, that's a lot. My first puppy did not like to be carried, if I had to carry her up and down that...
No bed for us. Oban was hot anyway and I think preferred the bare aluminum floor. I'd often find him out on the kitchen floor where it did seem...
So they were both on leash? If Rollo is castrated and Rory is not then I think another factor might be that Rollo is one of those neutered males...
I will assume it was the Cat Scan that gave you this good news. ;) Yay.
Have not tried the bells because my worry is they'll be ringing all day long, whenever he wants to check out something in the back yard. And, I'm...
Was Folliculitis mentionned? You might see pustules but you might not. Oban had a very weird bout of this following illness. I saw pustules but...
I'll see what I can contribute that might help.
Since Labs and Golden Retrievers are quite similar in temperament, how about my neighbour who for years had two, plus two of her children each had...
I'm going to assume what you mean by "English" is a show aka bench bred Lab as opposed to what some call "American" or field bred. In the UK I...
Having diarrhoea and back leg issues at the same time, suddenly, is peculiar. Days long diarrhoea might leave him too weak to want to walk but it...
What a good girl she is. HEre's hoping it was a lapse or mistake on the owner's part and it won't happen again. Have you ever seen those dogs...
It varies between Labs and varies greatly by breed. Some breeds have such a thick undercoat people can make yarn out of it and then hats, maybe...
Typically they limp after resting with arthritis. Pain meds and modifying exercise may help. Of course you need to Vet to find out IF it is...
Oh my gosh, that's awful. Hopefully Sam just thought it was rough play, dogs are very forgiving. That man sounds like he was looking for...
Welcome. :)
HI there. Some day I will have to track down the Irish ancestors, and the Scottish, and at least pay a visit to the places they came from. And I...
What was the temperature the day before? I find the adjustment to hot weather is a lot harder to take than the adjustment to cooler weather, and...
Does it count if it wasn't my dog? We used to meet a nice man and his Golden Retriever. His GR needed some manners training, he always jumped up...
Gosh, he didn't jump on you and pull a critical piece of pj down so I'd say you have a ways to go yet. ;)
I will add, they all need clipping at different times. Oban and the previous Lab walk the same terrain but I could do hers about once a month...
