So Fiona was crate trained as a puppy, she slept in her crate and stayed in it when we went out. But she was never alone. Her crate is in my bedroom and when we weren't home our other dog Thor stayed with her in the room. Sadly Thor passed when she was about 9 months old. She was still OK to...

Sorry just saw this, my condolences on the loss of Zoe, she must have had a great life to make it to 14. It gets hard for them when they get to that age, she is resting easy now.

After constant rounds of antibiotics we went to a specialist and the outcome was that she probably just had vaginitis and that the bacteria in her urine was likely just from the urine passing through the vaginal area rather than in the bladder itself. She did drink and pee a lot, but she never...

Hi All, I'm have some trouble with Fiona attacking our other dog Marvin. Things were ok for the first 12 months, then she starting having a go at him whenever there is some sort of treat or high value resource ie we had a dog staying for a few days and we had Marvin separated but when he came...

What a sweetie! Glad they are getting along so well applauseicon

Has anyone had problems with continuously recurring UTI's? Fiona had a lot of problems with her lady parts so we hoped getting her spayed would help. It's been 10 months since she was spayed and we are on her third UTI (could even be 4, I've lost track). Not sure what to do, I'm going to get...

Great News for you and for Opal applauseicon applauseicon You must be counting the days!

Fingers crossed for your application. If she is the right one for you, you'll get her, if it doesn't come through, it just means there is another dog waiting just around the corner. Good Luck with puppyhood, we hadn't had one for 20 years, was a bit of a shock to the system :LOL:

Sorry to hear about Kandis diagnosis. Definately not the news you want. I've had 2 boxers with cancer before and I've done everything I could to extend their life by every last day. Looking back I don't know I could say it was the best decision. Cancer treatment can be unpleasant and in an older...

Miss Fiona is now 16 months I don't know if I have the strength for another 20 months.....

Poor Waldo. People can be vile :( Hopefully he will get over this and be comfortable around strangers again. Good luck with the pup. One of the reasons we got Fiona was knowing that Thor our DaneX was on limited time and having lost 3 dogs in 3 years previously and being without a dog, I...

Awww look at her beautiful grey face. So great that she is doing so well, hope you have many more good times together.

Fiona is the same. Unfortunately for a number of reasons we haven't been able to walk that much so every time we start again we are back to zero again. The only thing I have found that works is the frustrating one of stopping and making her sit every time she pulls. In the beginning we can't...

I've been trying to convince the husband to get rid of these chairs for years, now he is happy because Miss Fiona has decided she is a princess and she needs a throne. Luckily there is 2 of them so when we eventually find her prince/ogre he will have his own throne too.

Miss Fiona pulled up pretty well after the surgery. Luckily she is not interested in licking at the stitches as the e collar lasted 3 seconds. She just put both her paws on it and ripped it straight off! It's getting increasingly difficult to stop her from being Boxer crazy, the first few days...
