owl Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Sorry to hear about your friend, Jazz, hope she will pull through. Not an easy time for you all round, so I am sure you are right to decide against another dog at present xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I cant cope mentally with the neighbour. I don't go out in the evening. if I go out, its 2 hours maximum. if I did send them back to the rescue, what happens when merlin dies as he tells me too eat, take pills, and luna is trained to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Aw Jazz, how stressful for you. Maybe you could contact the rescue and see if they have a behaviourist who could help with Luna? But agree with you that it's not the right time for another dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 ive spoken to them before about it. she say as my place is tiny, which its not, that's why (bullshit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Jazz, does Luna have separation anxiety?? If so, it's quite a hard slog, you have to break the association of you going out, so picking up keys but not going anywhere, putting your shoes and coat on etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 ive done all that. ive gone out the front door, come back in. she starts as soon as I put my shoes on in the hall. I walk back in the room she shuts up. musics on. cant put anything other than chews in her crate as she will thread it round the bars of the crate and bend them. even with chews she barks. and leaves the chews. I ignore her, I don't get ready till shes in the crate so that doesn't wind her up. ive tried drugs, sonic things. in a sense it would be easier to send her back, but what then? what if she moans mouse barks for a few minutes? I cant take the others out ever again while luna is here? im so upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Jazz leave a recording device on if you have one or can get one to see how bad Luna is - or not as the case maybe. The neighbour might be making it all up or exaggerating it. Next door's dog barks constantly when my neighbour goes out. I can switch off from it but it does annoy me when she goes out for many hours mainly because the poor dog is obviously distressed. I've spoken to her about separation anxiety and what to do but she's a lazy mare and not inclined to put the work in. Fortunately the neighbour doesn't go out all that much. Jazz you've just posted whilst I was writing this. I know it's upsetting but don't let yourself get too low about it. Could you possibly take Luna out with you, under the guise of an emotional support dog? It's very spring like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I know they can only hear her if they are at the front kitchen window, the living room is at the back. but I also know they are serial moaners. mother and adult daughter living together. she doesn't bark the whole time im out. but most of it. the others join in. I suppose being in most of the time doesn't help, so she doesn't like it when I go out. she has to be in the crate or she would wreck the place, she trys if im in the loo. my son says ignore the cow, but because im mentally vulnerable, it sticks in my head. I put off going out because of her moaning, if I do, I get annoyed on the way home that she will moan, like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Jazz, just lie and say your friend was in whilst you went out...I am sure one of your friends would say they were there. I know here a dog has to bark for 20mins solid without break before they will act...and that's the same dog barking, if it's not a regular thing I wouldn't worry about it...wait until she makes it official Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 No Jazz, mine is fine. Hope yours sorts out soon. Very cold start here, the car was very frozen but so was the ground so Philip let Candy have a good run over the field before he went to work. Got my ultrasound at 3pm today. I was reading the letter that came with the appointment and it said please note we do not usually give results at the time, they will be with your GP within 10 days. It didn't say never..so I'm going to ask if they will please tell me. They will know straight away whether it's something dodgy or not, and I'll point out to them that the worst thing about having cancer (apart from having cancer in the first place!) is having to wait for scan results. Hopefully, they'll be kind and tell me and not make me wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 when ive had them, they can tell me if they see anything nasty, but not the whole report as its sent off to be scrutinised with a specialist. ive got a heart scan next month. the last one was as my grandson was being born, so the man was surprised when I could remember date and time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Good luck with the scan today Suzeanna. Archie has acid reflux again this morning. His tummy was making some awful gurgles. He had a dose of his medicine about 2 hrs ago but I think he might need another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
