I shouldn't laugh....:P but my friends dog (a setter) is a jumper and they never really addressed the issue....he jumped up on somebody they know today..then he did it again...then his daddy decided to grab him and ended up falling on his ass!! I didn't know who to grab - the dog to stop him jumping or the guy to help him up lol!!

Ugh... so angry right now. Came home from college and went downstairs to Millie as usual. She jumped up onto me when I came in only to leave a big paw print of you know what on my jacket. Tried to get her out the back as quickly as possible but of course she turned it into a "catch me if you can" game >_<
I don't mean to laugh but the whole catch me if you can thing is hilarious. Our Jack Russel, Effie, has great craic avoiding us at all costs 0 -
Its her new game. When she knows you either want her or something, she'll run all over the place to avoid you. Last night we were writing up Christmas cards, so she thought it would be great craic to grab a mouthful of cards and go play hide and seek.DaveNoCheese wrote: »

Im really sick at the mo, literally cant sit up for more than a minute at a time without falling down and have to miss my exams, but on the plus side my cats are cheering me up. They seem to know theres something wrong, Peach wouldnt let Cream near me last night, she kept charging at him if he came near the couch, then they eventually compromised, he snuggled behind my legs while she lay on my ribs. Cream also spent a good 5 minutes kneading the blanket my feet were under, I figure he was trying to give me a foot rub! He also has a really sensitive nose, I was eating a silvermint but couldnt stomach it anymore so I dropped it in the basin beside me, Cream went in for a sniff and puked! I found it quite amusing as its the "sick basin". He has good aim 0

Not feeling the usual Friday buzz this week. I don't think we will have our Minnie for much longer unfortunately. She's still a young enough dog, she's around 7 but she is now taking 3 different pain killer/ anti inflammatories and she's still in visible pain
She has hip dysplasia, and is now suffering badly with pain in her front paws. She's had X-rays which were referred to UCD for diagnosis, they haven't a clue!!! She has a bone lesion ( possibly cancer, possibly ligament) a shadow on her wrist, loose shoulder, and bow leg, on top of that she has something up with her liver that again they can't fully diagnose.
My family reckon she's pining for my dad, I don't think she's recovered from his passing at all, she was utterly devoted to him and hasn't been the same since. She's happy out on her walk, she runs/limps around like she has no worries but at home all she wants to do is snuggle and sleep. She just looks sad all the time. Jazz is gutted as her playmate is no longer interested in being annoying and running around the house.
Sorry for the long rambling post, just needed to vent 0 -

OK, begining to think those lovely glass ornaments I got last year may have to go away until next year!
She's been going nuts since 7pm...
How much energy can one kitten have?
I just got some bells for the tree from the 2euro shop. They're big, so no danger of being chewed, and the cats are having a blast pulling them off and chasing them around the room. Every day I pick them all up and hang them, and fun starts again.
My tree = chocolates at the very top
fragile ornaments in the middle
2 euro bells at the bottom
Doesn't look so great, but it keeps everyone happy.0 -
Ah something is wrong with my baba!! His tail is stuck down - think it might be his a.g.'s. He had a bone today so hopefully it'll sort itself in the morning! He hates the vets as it is - don't want to put him or them thru getting THAT done! 0

His a.g.'s were full like I thought so he had them emptied and got pain killer shot in case he's pulled something. He was due his KC shot next month anyways so had it done today too so I won't be forking out again in a few weeks. He knows the nurse and gave his tail a little wag when we went and was playing with his friends after - he's fine otherwise just his beautiful tail is just hanging down!. We've to go back if there's no improvement - luckily I don't start my new job until Jan (I got a job on fri - yaay ) so I'll be here to keep an eye on him! 0

Congrats on the job!
Harley used to suffer with AG's too, once he was taken off a very rich food it helped. He also used to get some type of powder to sprinkle on his food, an orangey grainy thing that is full of fibre. Might be worth your while trying it. Glad it wasn't something more serious.
I'm having a bit of guilt at the moment - It's gotten to the stage that I can't rub/cuddle/talk to Harley without Phoe trying to get his little head in the middle of it. He's slightly rude with it and it bothers Harley to have him standing on him to scooch in between us. It's only with me, not with my husband.
We've been working on it, and now when I'm with Harley, Phoe will still thunder over but will sit and look very excited while he waits for his "turn".
Last night, I was sitting beside Harley on the couch and Phoe ran in and straight up on Harley to try get in the middle of us. I put him down but Harley got annoyed first, had a grumble and sauntered off. Both went to their own beds and fell asleep. After a while H came up for a cuddle and before he even had him bum on the couch Phoe was up under him. :mad:
My reaction was to very sharply send him to bed. I know not it's ideal and it goes against what I try to do when teaching them manners. I just got so annoyed on Harleys behalf.
Does anybody else in a multi-dog household have anything similar happen?
The odd time but not always. If Coco always comes over first for cuddles then when she's getting them Benson moves in and she moves back and starts giving her 'huffy bark'. But she never barges him out of the way for cuddles but will for food treats, if I put a bit of a treat into their bowls, she'll gobble hers up and then pushes him out of the way of his bowl and finishes his. He's a complete gent and just lets her.
. This from a fella who had a touch of food guarding issues when he arrived. But he just adores her so he doesn't react. 0 -
