Sorry Kovu. Have relatives who have a similar laissez faire attitude to pets, I can never understand why they got them in the first place. Congrats about college, hopefully we'll still get Kovu cat updates
Yea I had to wait five years to reapply and I'm now a 'mature' (hahahaha) student. Kovu will be staying on the farm with Squeak however. He was born in Dublin but he's become a country cat.
He's still an angry lampshade however! We've progressed to letting him outside in the garden with Squeak. She won't leave his side and she's easily found so we always know where he is. He also has supervised grooming and eating with the collar off. So not totally restricted.
He did manage to clear the whole mantelpiece in one run yesterday :pac:0 -

My dog has a favourite toy, a squeaky dinosaur plushie that he sleeps beside and plays with every evening. It's starting to look a little worse for wear; it has some tears and the stuffing is starting to spill out.
My plan is to sew up the patches this weekend (which would be some laugh in itself!) but a friend suggested we just buy him a new one. Am I mad for thinking this is a terrible idea? Like, it's his favourite! It has a familiar look and smell! I know when I was a kid, if my favourite toy had been replaced by a new version, I'd notice straightaway and it just wouldn't be the same. Is it a bit precious of me to assume the dog would feel the same way?

I'd fix it. They can tell the different between Their Toy and some other thing.0 -

I actually don't know for certain, but I think I would err on the side of caution and stick with your original plan. Repair the toy seems best. Perhaps though, with an eye to the future, buy a duplicate and keep it in the basket/bed so that when the old one is past the point of no return, you had a ready made broken in (as such) replacement?0 -

we usually fix/wash a few times and once it's beyond the stage that we can fix it again replace. Bailey's had a new ikea football pretty much every year and he loves them as much as the last. Last year I got one that honks and he really loves it so I bought another one on eBay 2 weeks ago lol!0 -

Henry and Swanson are coming to terms with each other.
Well, Swanson is trying to assert dominance and be very strict but Henry want to lick things and run around at 200 miles an hour.
Theyll figure it out.
Henry is bananas. I've never seen him sit still for longer than 10 seconds. He only slows down to lick things.

Even though the building work is stressful, the builders have been brilliant, work will be finished before baby arrives and they have been incredibly neat and tidy and adore the dogs too. It's only this week where things have been a bit hectic, plus the fact that I'm getting less mobile and am more tired than I think I've ever been! The lack of sleep has been great practice for when baby actually arrives! 0

Could you try having two people pet him at the same time and then one tackles the mats while the other keeps petting? We did that to Bailey last week for stickybacks lol!!
I might have to double-team him when my OH gets home! I hate leaving them like that, just went out and rubbed at them and as soon as he saw the scissors his teeth locked onto them (no growling) and I figured since I need my hands to look after my child, I better let him away with it for now
Gone are the days when Shadow would simply lie down and grumble through grooming!0 -
