The dog musing/vent thread

[Eleonora]

My friend has not noticed that it doesn't show it but we live in Finland.

Imnot sure where you are or what will ship to you, there are many products like this on the market, http://www.activehound.co.uk/products/long-paws-dog-water-bottle-green-paws-design-750ml what about this company?

They do not sell those either but they do sell this kind of bottles for people here:

They sell also other kind of bottles that have this kind of cap:

So, the question still is: How to get Lotta to drink straight from that kind of bottle like in those pictures? Like we have told, it may be difficult to pour water out of a bowl.

This really is not the right thread to be asking this in.

Honestly, I'd take even just a tupperware lid and pour water into it for Lotta. That way not a lot of water is wasted, and pretty much every household has tupperware lids so it's not something you'd have to buy specifically for Lotta. Also, you can just chuck it in the washer and use it for tupperware when Lotta doesn't need it.

They come in small sizes, they're rather flat and easy to tote around. That's what I do for my dog- just grab a lid out of the tupperware cabinet and a bottle of water and go. It doesn't matter what kind of bottle you use, or what size the lid is.

My mom took back her puppy :\

I will not kill my dog...I will not kill my dog...

Came into the living room after leaving Astro alone for five minutes to discover him gnawing a hole in the couch. Did not react that well - yelled for him to get in his crate, he scampered in, I left him to go cool off. It's been a few minutes, I'm leaving him in there awhile so I don't murder him.

**** it, dog, why do you go for the most expensive stuff, and so sporadically?! It's been so long since he's done something like that (past cases: ruining my bed by wrecking the boards and then chewing an Astro-sized hole in the mattress from underneath and climbing inside it...oh, and eating THE DRYWALL). I start to trust him more, give him a little freedom, then...

He does not have SA. We'd just gotten done exercising and doing some nosework. He makes no noise, just starts going to town on something and looks all delighted with himself when I come in. Bitter apple spray and other bad tastes don't phase him. He just chews stuff sometimes, just because...AAAAAAARRRRRGH.

Why does Rigby only seem to have bladder issues at my parent's house?

All set to go to sleep, she was outside not even half an hour ago and DID pee out there. Aaand there's a big wet spot on my sheets. We've spent 2 months at the apartment with zero accidents. Back here for a day and then this.
Seriously. What the hell is wrong with this dog? (And yes, she has had her urine tested a number of times. It always comes back as normal)

 

[Paviche]

Got home and Riff had pulled stuff off the counters - bags and what not. I picked everything up and things seemed fine other than that. He was acting normal. When I fed dinner ~4 hours later, he sniffed it, walked away, and then only ate about half when I encouraged him. I noticed a couple hours ago that he looked a little tubby even though he's a pretty lean dog. He just rolled over for belly rubs and his stomach is definitely distended. No other signs that would point to bloat, thank god, but he definitely got into something. I just can't figure out what. Other than being fat he seems 100% normal so I'll just keep a close eye on him... sigh. He makes me feel like the worst dog owner. I swear I've never had problems like I have with him with ANY other dog!

 

[Slick]

I came home, and instead of the normal enthusiastic greeting, Leo came slinking into the room like he might when he has done something wrong.
I have checked high and low, and I have NO idea what he did

I want one of these so badly. One random one, and one of Roxie. Maybe one of Buddy, too.

Oh no. My friend just lost her Belgian. She was very young and she lost her older belgian (only 8) a few months ago. Both were healthy sport dogs not long ago. And this dog was my absolute favorite terv ever. She was so sweet and spunky and fun. She made me fall in love with the breed.

I am so sad for her. I can't even imagine.

I wish Cooper or Tessie were still available. Or Flex. Georgia and Hammy are adorable too.

I'm so sorry for your friend. What caused the dog to pass away at a young age?

Abrams was upset that I was gone for 12 hours today, and when I got home he kept trying to climb onto my lap and give me sad puppy dog eyes. I kept telling him to go away because I was trying to accomplish things, but I finally gave in and let him climb up on to the couch with me. He proceeded to roll around on my lap for belly rubs, then finally situated himself upside down with the front half of his body hanging off the couch using my legs as a back brace and my feet as a pillow, while his hind quarters were in my lap. And he just hung out that way for a while.

I love my dog.

First time ever, but Roxie sprinted next to me on the bike!! It was terrifying, lol. She's never gone full Whippet on the bike. Usually she keeps it to a boring jog.

But oh my gods that was fun. Definately reminded me why I always keep her 40ft long line on her while we're in the yard!! When she unleashes all that crazy, she could be gone lightyears away in a blink. I kinda set her up for crazy tonight- there was water in the yard from all the rain, and add that to the fact that she was playing fetch with me... it kinda makes her go nutso once she gets wet, lol.

She is so much fun when she's crazy. I wish it happened more often.
