Re: a trip to the vets Ah are you going anywhere nice?Is this his treat for that amazing report?Your son will have all Jasper corners covered for sure and you will get the best labrador welcome when you get back....just remember to wear a top with straps on when you walk in the font door....taxi driver got an eyeful of me when we got home and Dexter bowled me over ........
Re: a trip to the vets i very often take him,.....with having jasper i have not been able to take him...we have a caravan in heysham, near morcambe,.....i dont trust jasper on the roads yet to be able to take him, will have a 5 year old in out with the door open, better to be safe just a little break away
Re: a trip to the vets What lovely weather you have had too,it's going to be perfect when you can take Jasper,my Mum and Dad fit Derry the red setter in their caravan.....think it's a bit snug when everyone settles down for the night but when you gotta do what you gotta do!
Re: a trip to the vets jasper as been scared of traffic......we have made massive progress with kates help,...short lead walks alongside traffic.....now longer lead walks, sitting on the road side reassuring him that every thing is fine, i dread to think if my grandson left the door open, he may dash out, trying to run away from the noise and run straight into it,......i will take him on my own so that i can give jasper my full attention , we do have him sit on the roadside before we cross i cant take the gamble yet ........having only spent one day away from him, it will give me and him a break,.....he will get loads of attention off mark.....mark may realise then how much i do in the length of a day.....i am sure he thinks jasper as just sat/lie/wait/shake hands without me spending all day training him
Re: a trip to the vets So pleased about the progress Lynne, thats great , glad to help Nothing annoys me more than when people comment on Sams recall and say " Arent you lucky " Grrrrr , I swear some people think that dogs have an on/off switch :
