Today was an absolutely gorgeous day. I am walking the dogs separately for the most part these days as more people are out and about and because Sky just isn't keeping up to speed with Sirius for the whole length of the walk. Sirius is doing very well these days with her reactivity. Sky starts out s...

That looks like a lovely vacation Lotsa. Very, very proud of Miss Sirius yesterday. I took her out first because we have been having some fireworks issues and we have less chance of encountering bangs while out walking the earlier we go. She decided to head up the block instead of down towards the p...

Congratulations ZaraD and Sister and future brother in law. Last week we had fireworks and this week it is likely to be thunderstorms every night. The first hint of fireworks was two questionable pops while I was out walking Sirius. They didn't exactly sound like fireworks, could have been a door sl...

Best wishes on the vet visit lotsaquestions. I read the biopsy report on the anal gland mass removed from Sky last week. It is cancerous as indicated by the needle biopsy. The vet did obtain clean although slim margins. She is due to have stitches removed next week. We have been doing shortened leas...

Oldest reported that when he arrived home, Sirius was out in the yard and greeted him at the gate and Sky was in the basement. They used a baby gate on the stairs to keep the dogs in the basement. He is still having to take them out the front door and around the house on leash to get them into the y...

Great news Shalista! My two are vacationing at Oldest's house. We dropped them off on Saturday. The only concern I had with Oldest's yard was a shed on a hill with open space underneath. Sky had demonstrated a tendency to go under on our test visit. We took along plastic fencing to cover the opening...

Sky is such a creature of habit. In the winter time, if I walk the dogs separately, Sirius goes first, taking advantage of daylight. Now that time has changed, I have been taking Sky first as there are more likely to be others out earlier Then when I get back with Sirius, Sky thinks it is her turn a...

Thank you all, Sky is home from the vets and sedation. Her back end isn't working very well. My suspicion is that she over did it with standing and walking at the vets office. The vet reported taking several samples and also noting signs of infection. So she is on antibiotics again. We should have l...

Dogs went to the vet on Monday. Sirius to get a nail trim and Sky to check out what appeared to be an open sore just below her anus. Sirius did not get her nails done because OH didn't take her muzzle and she apparently wasn't cooperative with the vet tech. She had been given her situational medicin...

@MPbandmum A Pomsky? Oh my word, don't tempt me. :lol: The closest proper breed I've found to the Pomsky in size, looks and temperament is the Norweigen Buhund, but they are so rare in the UK! Not a pomsky. Two dogs, a husky and a pom. The husky is out more ofte than the pom. Neither are out on a r...

Good Idea Nettle. I trust Oldest's wife to be sensible about dog baby interactions and keep Oldest in line. :lol: They have an open floor plan in their living area though so will need something to combine with furniture to make a barrier to keep the dogs and baby separated when the baby is down on t...

she went to speak to my uncle as she wanted awnsers as that's the only way to re-home them properly. He told her he had trained them all to kill whatever he tells them with a command and wanted to hurt me by hurting Sampson :evil: , the neighbors cats kept coming in so annoyed him and he gave the c...

Best wishes with the diet ZaraD. We have been driving the dogs to the park for walks recently as this allows OH to come along. He doesn't usually walk as far as we do, and taking him along tends to shorten the length of the walk that we take as he walks a distance comfortable for him and then goes a...

Oh my gosh JudyN W is adorable. There are a few new Samoyed puppies amongst the members of the Samoyed club of which I am a member. At the past couple of club meetings, we have played pass the puppy. There is a little female who is sooooo mellow. She will just curl up on anyone's lap and take a nap....

Very cute Ari! My dogs choose to use the rugs, or the throw on the seat of the couch. :lol: The warmer weather recently has brought out people with dogs. :( It isn't all bad though. My two have managed to behave reasonably well. There are still the occasional dog that we come across that they both g...
