Ever since her vet scare a month ago, we’ve been walking much more slowly. 15 years with her and every moment has been a blessing. I’m thankful to have a little bit more with her. As long as she’s happy!
We lost our dog to old age 2 years ago, and I just recently started scrolling through PetFinder app. Wilcox suddenly appeared on my screen and had me lol'ing. I might have to check him out.
Our old terrier, Hamish, meeting a kindred soul this day 5 years ago. Hamish was the result of his Scotty mum having an unplanned (by his owners) tryst with a Norfolk Terrier. He looked like a Scotty when his hair was under control, but most of the time just wild.
Much missed, but he want out in his usual good style, a good breakfast (visitors had cooked haggis, sausages and eggs) and then just went back to his bed by the fire.
Does anyone have any advice at #dogsofmastodon for helping my traumatised dog enjoy his walks more? Two years ago he was attacked by two escaped off-lead Rottweilers when we were out walking. It was terrifying. Now he barks at any dog, any size or breed.
We have tried dog school to desensitise him. Vet gave him anxiety tabs. Vet told us to take him down streets where he's unlikely to meet other dogs (ugly places with no trees or happy smells). We just want him to enjoy being outdoors again.
My dog finally caught and killed a bumble bee. She didn't get stung. I'm not sure when she's going to learn her lesson. Probably when the really angry bees (aka yellow jackets) pop up later this summer.
