Awww no is Sally alright? What have the vets said? Hope she gets well soondsbhj;.'?
(that last bit was trio stomping on the keyboard - I think she was saying "get well soon" in doggy language!) *hugs for Sally* Blackstar - all of my previous doggies have always pooped in a specific area in the garden (ie on the stones to the side of the house/by the garage) and they've all been fine (when I say specific, it's a reasonably large area they had to do it on but an obvious area if you know what I mean. We've always been lucky to have quite reasonably sized gardens on different levels so it was kinda easy to make an area their domain ) I obviously don't want to give her a complex but if she poopies in one area then I will reward her more so than others! She's really good and if you say to her "Do a wee wee" she will either wee wee or poo poo if she needs to, so I tend to prompt her in a certain area! I'm sure she'll do fine! At the moment she's being a bit of a terror - running up the stairs when she knows she's not allowed to and is pulling things off the sofa and chewing them. This all tends to happen when I'm not playing with her and am either making lunch/brekky/cuppa or trying to do 10mins worth of work. She gets played with a lot - I try and run around a lot in the garden and play fetch and things - but I'm trying my best to teach her that I will need me time too so I can do work! She's got a nice handful of toys so I figured she would be happy to play for 5-10mins by herself... but noooo she likes to be nawty and get attention! Tempted to ignore her if she runs upstairs now - all the doors are shut up there so it's not like she'll get into any nawtyness! Aww she's currently picking up fluff from our carpet At this rate I will be able to make my hoover redundant! |

I had THE biggest scare in my life with Trio today...
Took her for a walk this morning and decided to do some off lead training (so throwing sticks, making her come/stay/sit/fetch etc). I decided to lob a stick up a small incline and Trio bounded after it, grabbed it but so it was straight (as in ... length ways), turned around and started to trot back down. I could see what was going to happen... and low and behold she trips, the stick gets caught on the ground and shoved down her throat. I've never heard her yelp like she did... she managed to drop it but then she started choking and spluttering. I ran up to her and whacked her hard on the back and she threw up some stick bits but continued to choke. I just didn't know what to do. I was all prepared to scoop her into my arms and run like mental round to the vets... but she calmed down and eventually was breathing fine, albeit shaking like mad. A passerby came running up too to see if they could help Trio was choking so much It was horrid. I will never EVER throw a stick for her again. I normally take a toy out but forgot to this morning. Feel so horrible. She's been playing since and has had some lunch and been really boundy. I managed to check the back of her mouth and as far as I could see there are no cuts/swelling. Even still, every so often she sounds a bit wheezy. I don't know whether it's me being paranoid as I am very aware of her every waking move and breath at the moment... ... dunno. Will wait and see what Picky thinks but I could be tempted to take her to the vets just to make sure she hasn't hurt her throat. *I R a bad mum * It all started so well too! She's been pulling a fair bit when on the lead and today she happily trotted alongside me without any problems. Boo to me *hugs Trio* |

No you aren't! don't say that. These things just happen ok? She's fine now so that is all that matters if she likes fetching sticks then take them out She tripped that is all
