Owl and Mog
-
I wouldn't use ACP on Sno either, having read similar info to what Mog has posted. I use various things for him - I do think Scullcap & Valerian has helped him so he has that on a regular basis and I have upped his dose over the last few weeks ready for fireworks time.
We've also used homeopathy, tshirts, TTouch (touches and the body wraps) and of course Reiki. I have also found that getting some tasty food ready (tuna cake last year) and doing a little basic training with him helps take his mind off things and recently read a post on here supporting that, which was interesting. He has a crate that he uses on a regular basis, which is wedged in a corner he chose and covered over so it's a real den, but he doesn't necesssarily head that way if he's really scared.
I ignore the people that say to ignore him
as really when a dog gets so freaked out as he can, you can't ignore him and at times it would be dangerous to do so when he's likely to hurt himself. Finally, I decided previously that my being as relaxed as possible will help him and even though fireworks don't bother me, I am sure I must give off some stress because I am worried about him (and he's unfortunately VERY good at picking up on my worries) so I have a little drink or two to relax me too.
On walks I am always watching him anyway as he has a habit of diving in fox poo if he can bless him, but am aware that fireworks can go off even in daylight, though we are more fortunate than most in that respect around here I think.

Happy Gotcha Day Duke, you very gorgeous boy

I give my collie the Scullcap & Valerian tablets from Dorwest Herbs - they are intended to help reduce anxiety, nervousness, excitability etc. He doesn't suffer from SA but he can get rather freaked out about things and I really think they help. He is having more at the moment in preparation for fireworks night. They can be given long-term.
I think finding a way to stop him having contact with people at the door is definitely a wise move, thank goodness the lady that got nipped was reasonable
We have a porch so mine stay behind the internal door if I answer the door and if we need to have anything brought in, then I shut them in the kitchen so there's no danger of them running out of the front door. -
Poor George, hope he recovers from it as quickly as possible
Max and Mins like to lick the bowl round together when I make tuna cake, their Labrador eyes seem to almost pop out of their heads
Question for those that went to Westonbirt last weekend - was it really busy and full of people/children everywhere or was it possible to have a bit of space when walking around?

Hello Diane, welcome to the Refuge
Scooby and Tia look lovely - and Jefferson looks as though he enjoys life

Off to do a Homecheck soon - for a breed rescue lucky enough to have far more potential homes than dogs needing them.Am delighted that 2 BTs I've been helping urgently rehome have found great new homes - and that's thanks to the breeder of the younger dog who not only took her back but her 13 year old companion as well who she did not breed but was from a "rescue" who didn't want to know.
We'll have a walk along the beach at Minehead later,it's a super day here.
That's very nice to hear (about the breeder not the rescue that didn't want to take their dog back)

Half a cake is not okay. You need to have it all.

You clearly don't remember the time tiks had her knickers round her ankles when the neighbour saw her do you
Tiks I do love you. I think I'd blanked it from my mind
-
CT hope you're okay but have you ever considered becoming a naturist
If you do decide to, just don't make coffee in your own kitchen, naked, in case someone decides to trespass on your land and then report you for indecent exposure as has happened to some poor chap!

Am I being dense? How do I vote? Or has it closed?
I was about to say the same about Buster, that photo has been around the internet for a while. Why someone would enter it, I don't know but there are some strange people online.

Have moved the thread to doggie chat

Did it say what the restrictions on shipping to the UK were?
-
Weird. The eBay link I posted lists other European countries that it can't ship to but not the UK

You know when you are lying on the sofa, and your little kitten comes up and falls asleep on you chest,it is so very cute.
Could someone please explain to Sally why its not the same with her:
Firstly, she's not a kitten.
Secondly, she's a dog.
Thirdly, shes 27 kg of dog.
Fourthly, she doesnt fit on my chest,no matter how many times she walks in circles over me.
Fifthly,I cant breathe.
Help!
Bless her
I loved it when Mins was teeny and would curl up on my chest Max sits on my lap on the armchair, with his legs sticking out in front of him and leans on my chest and has Reiki, one of my favourite ways to spend some time
Everything crossed for Mollydog
Have a fab hen night Mags
I like the sideboard too Alex
We really need some more storage - but we need somewhere to put the things to store things in too
I got asked the other day, can dogs eat fox?
Erm, why did you get asked that?
-
That's great news
At least i know my lovely girl is still in there [daft i know but i was worried
]. It's not daft, I know how you feel
-
Just talking about this elsewhere - I wondered if anyone was aware of any update on this?
-
Hmm, just looked at eBay again and it doesn't look to be more expensive to get the beef one from the US at the moment if I buy three or more. Alex/Marion, is this who you buy/bought from do you remember? Link. I bookmarked my last listing rather than the seller so it's gone now.

:flowers: Happy Birthday Anne - hope you're having a wonderful day :flowers:

How can one Border Terrier manage to chew one squeaky ball into what looks like 6000 pieces and scatter them all round my lounge
The same way my poopie manages it with an empty crisp packet
Happy sideboard day

Would be interested in seeing your info too Anne
It's only the 1500mg one which has white willow in it, the original does not have it
Yes, I bought the 1500mg one once without realising, but the dogs were fine thankfully. I use the original now, as I haven't seen the beef one for sale in the UK and the exchange rate on the US ones wasn't so great last time I checked.
Interesting point about your Max, Alex, my Max has always been a lively soul
but it might well have given Sno more of an urge to have a good run around on his walks with Mins. -
Brilliant, thanks very much both of you
I wish I had started doing it earlier but I know in the past I felt it wasn't necessary. Oh well, as a woman I reserve the right to change my mind

Actually Sno gets absolutely terrified, I was just listing the things I think help him in case they were helpful to anyone else
We have been through many times of him trying to climb into all sorts of daft places in blind panic
But I do believe the things I have mentioned have helped him.
