Do you mean that she tried to get milk from Bailey's, erm, *nipple*?
That happened some years ago here, I had a litter of pups born here a few days after taking momma from the pound. One of them was deaf.
He went up to my not-terribly-tolerant male westie and, well, he latched on to Westie's *nipple*, much to the utter outrage of Westiepants, who growled and snarled.... But of course, poor lil deaf pup could not hear all these warnings!
Poor little guy. I'm sure he must've ended up with a lifelong wariness of little white dogs!
Lol! No she was just putting her head up at his tummy but at one stage yesterday he was standing with one of his legs up in the air so she may have latched on lol!
She jumped onto his tail yesterday when he was asleep and gave him a fright - if we brushed off his tail when he was asleep he'd jump sky high so he's a bit unsure of her now. He won't let her cuddle up to him yet but he's asleep on the floor a few feet from her crate and wagged his tail at her this morning so he's warming up to her I think. 0 -
Awwww, that's so cute.
Tiffi tried getting milk from Oliver the first day she was with us, the big freak acted like she was trying to kill him. Thankfully within 3 hours she was in his bed with him, we got him a new big bed as he'd grown out of the puppy bed, but he stayed in the little one for about a week.

Cream has been awfully spoiled today, he managed to sneak in past my mum today so spent his whole day concked out upstairs. When he eventually came down again he cuddled up on my chest like he used to when he was a kitten and groomed me, so then I took him out and groomed him too, (with a brush, not like how he was doing it!!) and it's such a miserable day today I left down a bowl of cat milk and gave each of them a tin of applaws. Spoiled little things

Zzzzzz
I'm glad I'm off work so I can snooze during the day!
First night we had some false alarms taking her out when she didn't need to go. It was roasting upstairs too and she was too warm so put the litte fan I had upstairs pointing at one side of the crate and it cooled her down. She was tossing and turning the whole time though keeping me up lol!. Was up around 5:30 ish and there was a lovely cool breeze so I ended up sitting outside with the 3 of us snoozing! We were doing great yesterday with the wees outside then got a bit relaxed and missed the signs for a couple..
Last night - the heavy rain arrived just as I was taking her out - we both got soaked so had to bring her back in and put her on a puppy pad.. Bailey went out to the hall (where you can hear everything because we need a new door) as I was getting ready for bed and was snoozing when the thunder and lightening came - he's normally fine with thunder and fireworks etc but got a bad fright. We ended up with him upstairs on the end of the bed then he moved down to the vet bed I had on the floor between the bed and crate...until Lucy's tossing and turning woke him and he went downstairs for peace!. She's going to the loo like clockwork so I can tell when she needs to go or when she's just crying because she's in the crate. When I tell her to be quiet she gives out to me lol!
She's getting the hang of going to the loo when we take her out and has learned to sit. Bailey is still a bit wary of her - he wants to be near her but will sit or lie a few feet away from her to be safe! We had a few seconds earlier where he let her cuddle into him so he's warming up to her. He'll sit beside me when I'm practicing her training so giving him treats and loads of praise for staying beside her or enduring her diving in him!
This morning she balanced on the edge of her water bowl to climb up to Bailey's food bowl..tipped the bloody thing over soaking herself and the floor in the process! :pac:0 -

Lucy got stung by a bee! I went out the back with her and saw the bee on the ground, immediately said leave it which of course was no use because she doesn't know that yet! I grabbed her collar but the bee was already on her face and she tried to shake it off so knew it was stinging her
..my ipad was in my other hand so knocked the bee off with that lol! Managed to get the sting out in seconds and she seems fine - vet said to watch for swelling and discomfort. Bailey boy headed over for X-rays soon - decided to get them done to see where we stand instead of worrying something is wrong/or pretending everything is ok. Having the puppy these last few days has made me see how good Bailey actually is lol! 0 -

Poppy's all booked in to get spayed on Monday. I'm a worrier so I'm already stressing about her
My OH is off work Monday and Tuesday and I'm of Wednesday, so at least she'll have one of us here with her at all times while she's recovering.
Thinking about putting her in Doggy Daycare when she's recovered. For the most part mine and my OHs work hours don't match, so there's more often than not one of us here (give or take 2/3 hours here and there) but I thought it would be nice for 1 or 2 days a week she could go off and play with some other dogs and give poor Cinnamon a break.0 -

Oh has she had a heat already? Also what kind of spay? I'm think I'm ggoing for the keyhole option with Lucy. I'm planning on sending Lucy to daycare too but pretty sure it won't be where Bailey was going for the last few years because they use cages/pens..0 -

honerbright wrote: »They use cages/pens? :eek: Just for naptime or what? The place I'm looking at is only down the road from me. I think they use a crate for time-out and if the dog prefers/is used to the crate for nap time.
How's Lucy after her incident with the bee? When I was a kid our dog ate one and was terrified of anything small and flying since.
They use them for nap times but there's a major design flaw (imo) because there's a window at the top of the door for them to look in on the dogs = dogs hopping up and down like mad to see out when they're locked up = risk to injury (again just imo..) Bailey developed separation anxiety at a young age from being left in the vets for xrays and operations etc and unfortunately after a training event at daycare where he was left in the car too long, being locked in the pen at daycare has become a major major thing for him and causes him to get very stressed out so I don't feel right sending him there anymore ..
The xrays were fine thank god - hips are perfect and no damage to them like I was imaging so worth the stress because I don't have to worry about longer walks now! We had a lovely walk this morning that we haven't had in a month because I was worried it might hurt him if there was damage. The vet sedated him the moment I left him in yesterday because she knew about his anxiety but he was in a state when I collected him - they brought me thru to get him and bolted out of the crate without even seeing me! But calmed down once we got out to reception and wagged his tail at everyone lol The vet and nurses were fantastic though - they knew he was stressed out and didn't make me feel like the worlds worst owner with my 'bold' dog!
Lucy is fine - no swelling or anything. She had proper zoomies yesterday jumping over the barriers I'd made to with our cones/poles to keep her away from the flowers and knocking down the gnomes lol!! :pac: We had our first puppy class this morning - it was ok..expected more play time for her instead of obedience exercises but she had a ball.0 -

Oh poor Lexi! If there's a chemist open near you get some Cortopin cream to soothe the lumps until you can get her to the vets. Bailey still gets his grass rash even on RAW and that stops it in it's tracks. Both Bailey and pup enjoying Kongs atm - Bailey's is to distract him from the thunder (still a bit worried about it after the other night) and Lucy's is to distract her from the fact Bailley has a Kong lol!! 0

There was a thread in here about dogs that had got up to no good and people posted pics of the messy things they do. Does anyone what it was called? Went back 15 pages of threads and didn't see it... Although it would help if I knew what it was called 0

Funny thing happened this morning: I went downstairs before work and Cinnamon was sitting at the window, tail wagging madly so I looked out the window expecting to see birds in the grass, but no, it was our current cat visitor standing up like a Mercat(?) on his hind legs staring in at Cinnamon. It's like a kitty love story unfolding right before me :P
Ah glad she's ok - that few seconds where they put you on hold to find out how they are always freaks me out!t
So miss Lucy gave a little cry about 45 mins after we went to bed (she'd just been out to the loo)...and nothing until after 6 this morning!! :eek: I hope it stays that way! 0 -

Oh stop, it was horrible, my OH made the call and they said they'd find out and give him a call back... 45 minutes later, no word we were panicking, thinking the worst had happened
My OH said Cinnamons been wandering around the house meowing, looking for her sister.
The vets rang him there to confirm a pick up time and asked for me, and he said he almost turned around and said "I'm Poppys father" but changed it to owner because he thought they might find it a bit strange :pac:
Wee Lucy sounds so well behaved at nights, she could certainly teach my two a few things!
SillyMango, any word on Dude yet? Hope his op went ok!0 -

I ring them about an hour ago and he is doing good so I can collect him in an hour! It is so nervewracking, even though on placement I saw neutering going on every day and didn't bat an eyelid it's so different when it's your own pet! I always used to take down the pets details so I would have them on hand when the owners rang the clinic, less panic attacks on the owners behalfs then 0

Finally home with my baby. I had to work 10 hours today and it felt like 20 worrying about her
Shes very, very subdued, but she was very happy to see me when I got home... lots of kisses!
Poor Toby, I'm so glad he's enjoying more house time even if things sometimes go a bit unsettled at times! What is your long term plan for Summer and pal?0 -
So I decided to put a bowl of food out in case Cinnamons friend came by again. Instead of him, out of the bushes (from Georges spot) comes this super skinny, but super muscley black cat that I've never seen before. He ate some food then skulked back to Georges spot. Put out some more food and then Cinnamons friend came along to have some food too.
The amount of stray kitties here is really upsetting. I thought Cinnamons friend (we call him Morrisey) might have been a cat from down the road we seen a few weeks ago, but that cat wears a collar and I checked tonight and Morrisey is collar-free. Very, very small though, black cat was easily twice his size. Morrisey is the cat I always wondered was a George relative. I hope that's not the case after George ending up being so sick
