That is one very cute puppy.
Right, now that I think about it you can reason with dogs as well as humans. :rolleyes:
Look, there’s no need to make irrelevant comparisons or twist my posts around, if you have a need to get on your high horse just get a ladder. Sheesh…
I’ve covered this in other threads - crappy rural vets combined with an intervening weekend and then a holiday weekend. Trust me, I noticed every second of it, and I still do 6 months later.
Mine was a Husky/Lab, probably less than 2 years old. I hope your dog is OK.
My puppy (now 1 year old) went into my bookcase, took out my first edition copy of The Secret Garden, and proceeded to entirely chew it up.
I’ve since moved all my old books out of that bookcase. It’s almost like they know what they can eat that will piss you off.
Holiday weekend? Confused.
Many offices are closed on weekends, and holiday weekends are an extra day long. So 2+5+3=10 days.
Yeah, which accounts for 3 days to me. I don’t know the full story, though, and I don’t think that’s necessary.
Sorry for your loss.
Huh? 10 days - one regular weekend with no vets open, plus one work week (5 days) with a crappy rural vet (who supposedly did nothing, or gave a wrong diagnosis). One extended weekend of 3 days. That’s 10 days.
I thought the dog ate your Keanes & was going to congratulate you.
Sorry about the boots, but some quality time over the holidays will help both your handsome doggies bond with you. Buy them new chewtoys! (I’m just assuming The Other Dog is handsome–he shouldn’t be neglected just because he’s more grown up!)
Yeah, and I accounted for that by saying that I did not know the full story. I didn’t assume a mis-diagnosis or that it was impossible to go at any point throughout the week.
Hence my confusion. Either way, sucks.
Phil, here’s another good source for replacement Keens.
People vent about their spouses or significant others all the time. Does that mean marriage or romantic relationships really aren’t for them?
PlainJane was merely trying to clarify my words and shouldn’t have to defend them. And yes, marriage and romantic relationships really aren’t for some people.
Things that are true:
Marriage and relationships aren’t for some people.
Owning a dog isn’t for some people.
Totally ridiculous assumptions to make:
People who vent about a frustrating occurrence aren’t cut out for having what caused that occurrence.
Douchebag comments:
Suggesting that being upset over a chewed up pair of expensive shoes qualifies you as someone who shouldn’t have a dog.
At least we haven’t had the typical “shoot it/drown it/bludgeon it/feed it to coyotes” suggestions yet, then again it’s not a cat so a certain couple of posters didn’t feel compelled to post their usual advice.
While I avoid cat threads, that woud be my advice. In jest, of course, less our feline overlords decide I am no longer of use to them.
I am still waiting for the ferret revolution.
He only got *one *pair of shoes? Lucky you…
Here’s my suggestion…go to the closest butcher (or grocery store meat counter) and see if you can get any cow femur bones. Our local supermarket chops them up and sells them as ‘soup bones’, but it I can get there before they cut them up they will sell them whole. Actually, I generally have them cut the bone in half, so the dogs can get at the marrow more easily. They will happily chew on those things for days.
We get femur bones for our dogs too. As stated above, it keeps them occupied for hours and hours. We also have them sawn in half and give each half to each dog.
Have either of you been upset about your butcher not having those bones in stock? Going to butcher shops might not be for you!
