Jenni,
I was wondering how the healing is going on Widget's surgery site? And is he eating, sleeping OK?

No guilt. I learned long long ago that it is in their natures to endure, and that they will often wait until LONG past the point we humans would, before they vocalize.Jenni Williams said:I never see him sleep, Connie! He's doing really well, and he'll be so flattered to know that a whole thread was opened just for him :lol: . He is acting like his old self. I feel really guilty that I didn't see that he was being too quiet. I thought it was because of the neutering, but now I think he was in pain.....
Me, too!susan tuck said:Jenni, I'm so with you on that. It's heartbreaking to see a dog so far gone nothing can be done, especially with people that have the $$ but don't think dogs are worth spending it on GRRRRRR
Well, IMO, step #1 is good........that they are meeting away from Widgie's home territory. Could Caleb come too?Jenni Williams said:<Sigh> Yes, I'm getting another dog if all goes well. Widge and I are leaving on April 6 to go pick up a Sch3,IPO3, personal protection trained GSD. I hope I like him when I get there; I doubt my deposit is refundable :lol:! I've wanted a PPD for a while, but had problems finding one that wouldn't butt heads with Widge....he can be, uh, difficult. Supposedly this dog tolerates small dogs/cats and has always been a house dog, so it should be a fairly easy transition. Caleb is my biggest concern. He is such a dominant SOB.
I hope others will jump in here.Jenni Williams said:..... Caleb is not dog aggressive in the least; he's dominant. There will be fights if the newbie does not submit (which he may not; he's six years old). .......
Oh, no, I definitely didn't mean to imply that, and my experience with dog-meet-new-dog is very limited outside my own home.Jenni Williams said:I wouldn't mind if others jumped in here too, but I am not going to think I'm home free just b/c they don't fight the first day.......
Greg, i'll tell you what, over the years i've learned a lot from Ed's site, and made a few friends along the way. It's an exellent source for information and it's helped me to learn to live with 3 gsd's with no problems. You won't find me bashing his site. Jenni should post her plan on adding a 6yr old ppd to the mix on the leerburg site, why not?Greg Long said:Yes Jenni,
Maybe you should ask Ed his opinion on the matter.![]()
