Hi Folks

We are still working behind the scenes to try and resolve the persistant 503 Error.

Our apologies, we hope to get everything back to normal soon.

Jayne so sorry I missed this altogether!!

Having seen the sling type bags and the dog ramps that seem plentiful on Amazon - my thought would be to try and control the need for Herr Hump to attempt to get up or down stairs unless controlled by you both so a child gate at top stairs and bottom, then a sling or ramp would be easier to control his eagerness !!

We don't have this problem with being a bungalow - but when we go away to holiday homes we have a two wooden expanding trellis so we can stop the hairy hound from diving onto the beds :shades:

I never knew what a little madam she was :D

Hope she is turning a corner....but these cockers are a force of nature and don't think time scales apply :005:

  :clapping:  Well done Miss Molly!!
HUmphrey  was my first cocker and I remember coming back from a puppy training session feeling very disheartened after the trainer had explained that most dogs will calm down at around 12-18 months but added with a rasied eyebrow
?Cockers need at least 3 years?!!  :lol2:
I can imagine its tiring when Molly doesn?t sleep in the day but lately Humphrey doesn?t do much else but sleep, he?s hard to motivate with anything (except food) and do wish sometimes I could turn the clock back, the days when he was enthusiastic to have a go at anything new all passed too quickly.

For the first time in 27 months, miss Molly has stayed up all day with us. She is a young dog who never sleeps during the day. And therefore gets very argumentive and bitey with tiredness. So bitey , verging on vicious that she is crated to chill out.. But today, survived with only a little tantrum. In fact she asked to go to bed around 10pm.
I say vicious, but it is only aimed mainly at me because I am the "NO" monster in her eyes.  I am not scared of her and she knows that.Around other people she is fantastic and I have no fears.  So today has been a massive 👍🥳🥳.  I do have her on yumove calming tablets but the jury is still out on them, at the moment no plans to get a second packet.    Oh well, another day tomorrow

On reflection, vicious is probably a bit harsh,  savage is better 🐾🐾

That?s great news and a big relief for you no doubt!  :clapping:
Yes, they are very resilient, they seem to just take it all in their stride, my Humphrey always amazes me, no matter what the vet?s done to him in the past he still goes in with his take wagging!
Don?t worry about her not needing to poo, her routine?s been upset, I?m sure she?ll be back to normal before long.

so maisie amazed me, she went in for surgery at 11.00 and was ready to collect by 3.00.  she was a little drowsy but steady on her legs.  she had one tooth out and has sutures.  she ate a little last night and slept well.  ive got to give her 1/2 a pardale v tablet twice a day.  she ate well this morning but hasnt had a no 2 yet.  letting her chill today.  wish i had got her dental done sooner its surprising how tough our senior spaniels are.

My late boy had teeth removed aged 13 years, the vet combined it with another surgery he was having at the time.  The vet felt the bad teeth and bad breath would be contributing to bacteria in his system.

He was certainly groggy and I was given antibotics.  All went well so am sure your girl will be fine, the vet will have taken everything into to account before suggesting the surgery.

Hope all has gone well

Hi, sorry I can?t really give any concrete advice, but I?m sure your vet will. I think the main thing is to keep a close eye on her  but let her have the peace and quiet she needs while she?s recovering. You?re naturally concerned but no doubt she?ll be well monitored during the op and the vet will have weighed up the risks.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow and sending positive thoughts!
All the best.  :luv:
