How old is she ? Did you get her straight from the breeder or another home ? Just wondering if you have her complete history, it could make a difference.

So they sleep inside ? Can I ask why ?

I regret giving up on my dreams when I was younger, I regret some of the choices I've made and the so called friends I've had. And I regret not winning the lottery !

So, as most of you know we recently added to our family with little freyja, and that's going ok, my question is, we're thinking of getting a kennel for outside, Bear spends all night outside anyway and freyja seems happy to follow him. We don't need a run and its totally secure but do I get one big kennel and expect them to share happily, or two smaller ones so they have their own space ( and probably end up with both squashed into one !) Or let him sleep outside and make her come in as she's only little yet ? Where do yours sleep, in or out ?

It sounds gross but I always have sardine ice pops in the freezer, if I need five minutes peace and quiet to make a phone call or a cup of tea, they do the trick.

If you can't change your week, can I suggest you make a plan for every single day. Make a plan and stick to it come he'll, high water or choccy cravings lol. Plan a picnic in the woods with the dogs, a beach trip, a home spa day, ask a posh make up / skin counter for samples, make an appointment to get your make up done (it's free too yay ) if you have a cinema near you, see if they do a cheap afternoon movie, get some culture, tour a museum or art gallery pretend you understand what your looking at .

DON'T DO IT ! No only kidding, we just got our second and whoever said two IS as easy as one was a dirty rotten liar !. Anyway, what we did was take bear out and let them meet on neutral territory so to speak, then when we went indoors he went first, found the tips somewhere, and so far so good. ( he's 10 times her size but she bosses him around )

Funniest was a kid who walked out of a shop, took one look at Bear, screamed WEREWOLF ! And ran I've had wolf, Akita, GSD x, and the other day, a collie cross ??? I used to get snow dog shouted a lot, but as he's got bigger it's said less and less. Bears over the standard, and looks bigger because he's a woolly but I don't care, even if he doesn't fit on my lap anymore he's still my little furbaby. (And he really doesn't lol)

Man

if I told people round here I spent that sort of money on a dog I'd be swamped with offers to sell me a bridge or a tube station. Most think I'm nuts anyway, don't want to totally convince them.

I'm always being asked that ! I do answer, then say it was cheap compared to what they've cost since lol, I got asked if I knew of any needing a good home yesterday, as her uncle had recently lost his guard dog !! We had a long conversation about huskys to say the least, guard dog indeed !

Don't worry honey, if the big kids try to take your lunch money or snacks you tell them you have a HUGE family ( 10k+ ) and we will sit on them Have a great first day !

Ewwww. Threads like this make me glad we live in the city !

Prednicare is a steroid so I don't think you could buy it over the counter, but you could get it cheaper online, we used to. My old dog was on pills for a long time so instead of paying a fortune at the vets I got a prescription and ordered it online, it was less than half the price for the same thing, take a look at some places online I think we used vetUK but it was a while ago lol. I've never tried it but I have heard sulphur tablets are good for itchy lickers. Google will know more than me !

My son plays mostly steam but I think he has some origin as well, I think he mostly plays TF 2, not sure which that is but I can ask.

Both ate tonight no problem, although she still scoffs hers down like a little piggy ! Bear seems far more at ease knowing she's eating as well. He definitely cares about her, even if she does Nick his bones and toys and chew on his fur lol

Every piece of sports equipment EVER,

What a knobhead, sooner your out of there the better.

Thanks Andy, will give it a try.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered but since we got freyja we've been feeding the dog separately as, as little as she is she has a tiny bit of a food guarding issue, not with us, just with bear if he goes near her while she has food she growls etc. Anyway, last couple of meals bears been really slow to eat and last night he flat refused until I brought freyja into the kitchen and hand fed her a chicken wing, as soon as he saw her eating he ate, as long as she ate, so did he. Is this a pack behaviour, ensuring the pup eats first ? Or is she dominating him so much he won't eat before her ? Which is better, just feed them together and watch she doesn't steal his food (she will) or separate and if he doesn't want to / won't eat leave it till the next meal ? HELP !

I've stopped taking Bear to the local park where lots of dogs go, partly (small part) because of the dogs but mostly because of the owners, they don't pay attention, let there dog's run all over even though it's not secure and then tell me I'm damaging bear because I won't let mine off lead.

It's a long way but we're all behind you, a long, long way behind you, but there nevertheless LOL, good luck

Welcome to the pack, what a cutie, more pictures please !

Each choice sounds interesting, as well as Andy's idea. Can I run another one up the flag pole ? What about the murder of hundreds of thousands of ordinary women ( and men ) who were deemed witches and heretics by the church, both Catholic and protestant, from the inquisition to the witchfinder General to Salem, spanning the globe and hundreds of years. It might sound like an old story but even now so called men of the cloth still venalise pagans. ( my nans an elder of her church, I still haven't told her )

THAT is NOT ENGLISH ! For a start they're American lol,
