@elbrant Thanks. I really think she looks like a Shiba Inu in that picture! If I go to the front door, she'll normally be looking down (upstairs flat). The third pic I'd caught her nibbling the banister, so a bit of guilt in her eyes!
Ha, no way, she's not wanting for walks! She's generally really good in the house, all of her nibbling except that one were when she was much younger. I've managed to get away with minimal damage.
This was her Saturday night while I was assembling some furniture, she was fast asleep!
She's cuddly but was literally under me, it was unusual but now I know why.
I am really curious about what Zuri will do this autumn :rolleyes:
Last year and this year too, she was in season in late May/June.
And also in october last year. Poor thing - wasn't happy with beeing into it so soon again after her phantom pregnancy…
This time I don't know.
Thabo is telling YES. But Zuri isn't acting like that and other males are not interested yet.
Would be happy if not. Currently she's in a good mood again :)
@elena86:
Sometimes, Senji could just be laying on the floor for a few minutes and when he stands up, there's a pile of fur laying on the carpet. I've had to wash his blankets every day. I could probably knit a sweater with all the fur that gets caught in the dryer's lint filter. :rolleyes:
Same here with Timbo thought at first he had a skin problem, it is too cold to
change his winter coat too his summer coat :rolleyes:
I would have to agree with the others. Surgery is pretty tricky especially if the dog is on meds. Some medication is mood altering. If you could possibly wait at least a week to bring in the new dog that would be ideal. Males usually recover pretty quickly and are back to normal within a week. This will give your pooch some much needed rest & healing time.
To introduce the dog I would have them meet in neutral territory some sniffing & such & afterwards I would take a nice long long long walk around your neighborhood…like 2hours at least. Let them get used to being together with you on your walks. I would even make it a routine for a while until they get used to the pack order.
I would also suggest RULES from Day #1. Establish the rules of the house so both dogs understand that you're the boss & these are the rules...My rules I don't allow the dogs to hoover while I make their meals. They have to be sitting calmly until I'm done. They eat in separate crates & before I put their dish down they must sit & give me eye contact. I do the same for treats and toys...everything is given only if they sit calmly & give eye contact. There's no jumping on me EVER...if they do this they get my back which they hate because they love mom's attention :)
Good luck to you :)
