I'm sorry there aren't more. :( The video is over 30 minutes long and takes up most of my camera's memory. I can only have three pictures besides it, and I can't find our other card... And when I tried to upload it earlier I got an ERROR message. So I'm going to try again... see if I can. If I can't I don't know what I'm going to do.. I don't think the video is necessary, exactly, as the only way he's being given up is over my dead, cold body. And you can only faintly hear any talking... grr. The sound of the leaves in the breeze negates a lot of it.

About the marking, what about a belly band while you work on it? That saves the you from having to go crazy cleaning. I have also heard that they don't like the feeling of being wet (obviously you change it if you notice its wet) so it discourages marking.

Pretty dog.

So far, thanks to my ineptness, he has marked THREE times.
This is not your ineptitude. It's a habit he has acquired because he is not used to living indoors. Remember, all he had was his outdoor territory and marking was a part of that. I am sure there are members on this board who can help you reverse or work with him on this.

A belly band is a really good idea. Now.. where would I get one...

And it's my ineptness that I wasn't watching him to distract him the second those leg muscles so much as twitch.

He's doing well with the kitties. They've seen eachother from his crate and from the french doors. He's interested but quickly distracted from them, and wags is tail like crazy when he sees a kitty. :rolleyes:

More pics coming.

I am so happy for both of you! I'm so glad you have each other and his life will be good now. I love the pics.

If you are even remotely handy you can make them. Just a strip of material a bit wider than his 'area' that goes around him and velcros closed. ( I would use a material like a terry cloth, and make a few so you can wash them. Other people put panty liners in them)

He's really handsome! I am SO glad they gave him up to you :D

I also echo the idea of a bellyband. I've never had a marking male, but I've known people who have used the bellybands. Is Midnight neutered?

No.. he's um, rather pendulous down there. :eek: And he definitely does NOT have normal testicles, but I suppose I ought to thank my lucky stars that they at least both descended. (Now, guys, give yourselves a pat on the back for ALL of your posts about responsible ownership... he's not off a leash unless he's in a small enclosed area or a fully fenced in yard. A year ago I might not have been quite so diligent. That pat on the back is an order, btw.)

I'm not sure when I'm going to get him neutered, to tell you the truth. The low-cost clinic near me only does low cost speuters once a month and they haven't put out their dates yet, and my mother is already letting her eyes bug out at Tom's vet bills and what will soon be Midnight's. I think when we go there Saturday I am going to let her take Tom to the car and I do the signing. Then she'll probably forget to yell at me until the credit card bill comes in, and I'm sure I can make myself scarce. (Yes, I'm the one who gets yelled at about vet bills. And seriously, they aren't that bad--especially in comparison to what many of you guys have gone through.) Middie's is going to be just over a hundred this weekend, I don't know about Tom's.

Yeah, PW, isn't he shinnnnyyyyy? I have to say that's the only reason I like unrelieved black on dogs (without tan points, white, or other markings) is the utter shinyness. I guess the only good thing about him living on table scraps is that he has a fairly nice coat. I mean, it's nowhere near as nice as it could be, but it's not disgusting. And I have the beginnings of a cold, so I can't even smell him unless he's on my lap. My dad has no sense of smell, and my mother has a full blown cold, so this is pretty good LOL. I don't even have to go "ewwwww" until we take him to the groomers. :D

I took a boatload of pictures when I was at Linda's. I'll upload them and make a new thread. :) I just need to get up and get the camera. I think my butt has grown roots to the chair, though. I'm pretty darn ready for a nap.

Yes. Yes he is.
C'mon now are all those extra n's and y's necessary? lol I guess they were.

At least your mom pays for your pets' vet bills, I have to pay for my own ;)
