haha he's such a character. Heading off for a swim without you
I'm hoping I stick with it. Kieran and Harley are miles fitter than the little fella and me, so we've a lot of catching up to do.
You got to week 7. That looks impossible to me at the moment.0 -

Lexi just ate the skins of about 6spuds. She's a disaster would eat anything!
Ah, haha she was making sure she got her fibre in. Does she scavenge or is she just a little opportunist?
Phoenix once swallowed a whole tea-bag
Literally the only thing I've ever found that he doesn't eat is brie cheese. 0 -

I had them wrapped in paper for recycling on the counter but obviously not back far enough from the edge. She chews up teabags and then spits them out so it looks like something else :-(0 -
The only think Bailey spits out and doesn't eat is paper when he decides to shred it!! Which is exactly why I've been trying to teach him 'shame' - where they put their paw over their eyes lol His leave it is very good in fairness to him - if I drop something he'll wait for permission to gobble it up! 0

I swear oliver likes tea bags, steals them from the bin. He will eat just about anything, except fruit!
Bananas he will eat cooked in biscuits and muffins, apple again cooked only, pear he will have a nibble but not keen, kiwis, no way!
He likes Brie, once he ate samples of cheese my daughter got, one was pickled onion, another chilli and other one cranberry.
Also ate my lunch today, butternut squash soup with chilli flakes and a bagel!
Hope he enjoyed it, I was mad as hell! Got the "but I thought you left it on the side table just for me!" face, with the eyes....couldn't stay mad.
Daughter and her friends walked all the dogs for 2 hours today, I had to collect them as they walk too far and it was getting dark(walked along river, not safe to walk in dark) the stink on the way home was awful, all 4 dogs rolled in something!
My two are currently snoring after a wash and blow dry. Thank god!
Poor mouse is still very wobbly, trying to keep her still, she's snoozing with dogs at the mo.
haha the joys of dogs. You just can't keep your car clean. A few years ago, Kieran got a new car. When going for a walk we brought along towels and doggy wipes to make sure Harley was clean getting back into it.
He went for a swim, and despite cleaning and drying him as much as we could he was still a bit damp. He got into the car and for the first time ever, and since, he started shaking the water off in the car. The seats, windows, ceiling, floors & dash were covered in little flecks of muddy water.:DThe only think Bailey spits out and doesn't eat is paper when he decides to shred it!!

How are you teaching that? Is it going well?0 -

Sellotape on nose and click when his paw is in the right position as he goes to rub it off. He's done it once on command but it was a fluke - after that he couldnt figure out what i wanted him to do and gave out to me lol! I think he'll get it in a few more sessions though. The stumbling block was getting him to realise it's his nose and not the tape he's meant to touch - I tried to progress to early and took the tape away... he was whacking the roll of tape with his paw lol!!

We bought Mouse a kong kickeroo some time ago, she loves the noise it makes and plays with it a lot. Yesterday while she was away being neutered Jake started rolling around playing with it and purring, today Toby is doing the same.
My daughter just noticed how much they were enjoying it and suggested we get another as Mouse usually monopolises this one. Off she went googling them and suddenly said "oh my god! It's got catnip, they're getting high right in front of me! You are supposed to be discouraging me from a life of drugs and the cats are getting high in front of me in our living room!"
Am I a bad mother for laughing so much? 0 -

Henry just chewed my nightguard to bits!
(A mouthguard type thing I wear at night to stop me grinding.) it was custom made and expensive. I could hear him chewing something but assumed it was the upstairs bone. I swear, just when I think he's grown up and can be trusted he goes and does something like this.
Anyone want a cute English Setter?
Just kidding, I still love him. 0 -

NOooooooooooo!!!! I don't think I could sleep without mine - and if I did I'd wake up with a mouth full of broken teeth!!
The one I have now **touch wood touch wood touch wood** has been my longest serving one @ 4 years in June and is the best one I ever had. Also the most expensive - it was €460! :eek: My dentist packed me off to a specialist after he made me two that only lasted 6 months each.:P
My friends setter went missing one morning - was found in his bed eating their guest's false teeth!! She ran out the door with him to the park and left her husband to do the explaining! :pac::pac: 0 -

Years ago when I was still living at home we had a golden retriever called Elvis. Every summer most of my family, Elvis included decamped down to Brittas Bay to the mobile home. The mobile across the way had a couple of teenage daughters and one day Elvis decided to take their bikinis that were hanging over the side of the decking. He managed to get 2 tops and a bottoms into his bed which weren't discovered for a few hours. My sister had to wash them and sneak them back in the dead of night:o.0 -

I was so shocked when I saw what he'd done that all I could do was squeak "HENRY" in a high pitched voice. The horrified look on his face was priceless! He knew he'd done something really really awful. In his defense, it's the only expensive thing he's every destroyed. Up until now it's only been boxes of tissues (he's obsessed) and bags of vegetables that didn't get put away.0 -
Crazy mad dogs this morning thanks to an inch of snow, bouncy around the house and garden, jumping on beds and sofa! Worse than kids, cats are hiding in warm beds, refusing to go out.I swear the dogs knew it was snowing last night, we're pacing the hall at 3am and woke me, it was chucking it down.
Ah we just had a few snow flakes falling this morning for a minute! He looked up at it and sneezed lol! 0 -

On the plus side they're lasting a really long time. I'll just keep my nose well stuck into my glass of wine...
There's some things on zooplus I just couldn't stomach giving to the dog even though his stomach would enjoy them lol!! The puffy pig snouts for one and def the hooves and tracheas! GAH! 0 -

Mouse does this often, radio in kitchen, she turns it on and off, and on, and off and on... Do not do what my daughter did, she turned up the radio to max when off, plan was to scare Mouse into stopping. This resulted in my tea splattering accross the kitchen, me choking and a near heart attack at 7amSillyMangoX wrote: »I was just sitting here watching telly when next thing I hear this classical music coming from the kitchen. Needless to say I was very freaked out as I'm home alone so I ran out to the kitchen to see what the hell was going on. Cream managed to turn on the radio and switch it to the CD player. I don't even know how to do that! when Mouse did her trick.
Took me until well after 10 to recover.
Oh and Mouse was more scared of the tea exploding from my mouth than he noise!0 -

Nala has discovered bubbles! Been minding my niece and she brought bubbles today, nala didn't know what to think at the start but after few minutes she was jumping up bursting them with her mouth and paws. So cute watching her and my niece playing she was trying to get nala to blow bubbles too 0

Does anyone have any recommendations of any good, heavy duty balls? Every time we get henry a new ball he has it torn to pieces in about two minutes. We've tried squeaky balls, tennis balls, any kind we can find but he always manages to chew through them in an amazingly quick time. We got two "indestructible balls" today, he destroyed his then stole Jake's and wrecked that too in about 5 minutes!
I'm not even going to get started on the bed he's gone through, that's all sorted now though thankfully we've started crate training him so he has that and some blankets, nothing to chew!0 -

Kongs are the only ones that Lexi hasnt managed to destroy. I know they arent round but might be an option?!
Kong make roundy balls - they do them normal/red and also in extreme/black
I got one so we could play ball without having to worry about the other dogs wrecking the ball and it's lasted fine. The only thing with the black one apart from it being a bit hard to find at times is that it's quite heavy since it's made out of the extreme rubber - if a dog got a bang of it they'd be seeing stars flying around their head lol :pac:
@ISDW - all i could think of when I read Yukon Quest is Snow Buddies with the retriever and husky puppies lol :pac::pac:0 -

We had one for millie, sort of like this.
We were the same as you, trying to find something that lasted longer than a tennis ball (her favorite toy). However everything we came across was way too heavy duty. I mean, it would hurt your toe if she dropped it on your foot. The one we found (from aldi I think) was really light weight, had two holes either side and was completely hollow. It bounced really high and she loved it to pieces.
I know it's not a ball but this(minus the rope they have attached) is the best purchase we have made. We have had it for ages and she still hasn't been able to tear it apart.Egg Ball is great fun, its a hard plastic egg shaped ball thats very difficult for the dog to actually grab hold of so they push/chase it around - now to me it seems a bit frustrating but the woofs seem highly entertained
Reminds me of when I gave Millie an old basketball I had found. She couldn't get a grip of the ball so she just ended up chasing it around the yard barking at it. Same goes for the Frisbee I gave her. When it flipped over to the side with no edges, all you would heard from outside would be a bark, a growl and the scrape of the plastic on the concrete.0 -
Orbee balls thou expensive are brilliant as well - my friends dog got hold of ours a few times and it was grand. You need to make sure you're getting a size appropriate ball too btw - there's no point in getting and extra tough one if its too small - the dog will be able to chomp down on it! The orbee ones have a lovely minty smell too lol! 0
