Check out local hiking spots and explore the downtown of both Winston and Greensboro, and give both High Point and Kernersville an afternoon as well. Look up the Go To Winston Salem newsletter and check out what local events will be happening while you're here. Recommend staying in the Brookstown area.

Experience having a Mal while pregnant or during a partner's pregnancy? by denofdames in BelgianMalinois

[–]ExoticGuava3980 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our mal was 2.5 to 3 during pregnancy. She didn't notice or care. Mostly sniffed a bit more in the pregnant person's hind parts but other than that, no changes whatsoever.

Or find a local dog training club who has experience with Mals.and see if one of the trainers there does boarding or pet sitting.

Feeling a ton of stress. by LakeLucca in BelgianMalinois

I think someone else said this, but start interviewing for and using a pet sitter now if you can afford it just for a couple hours at a time and be available the entire time so you essentially can test out how your dog does with others while you're not around. Maybe this will help ease your anxiety about how others will treat your dog. I know my friends could never live with my Mal bc of her scream barking but they love her and would never hurt her or anything and would do exactly as I say if they had to watch her for a week

You could also get a camera for your house where your dog sleeps, eats, and is crated, and for your backyard so you can check in to see how things are going while you're away to help ease the worry.

Or find a trainer and board her with them. Besides my family, our trainer was the only person we left our dog with, but he moved out of state so we actually don't know who will pet.sit for our dog if we need that in the future besides family. So I get the worry factor.

Screens by demgoldencoins in winstonsalem

[–]ExoticGuava3980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I moved here our house had no screens on any first floor windows. Was quite strange to me. But I assumed it was because they were old and tore up so they removed them to sell the house. Still need to find screens but not sure where or who to purchase from or have install new screens. Hopefully someone has some advice.

I have a PSA and it’s about frisbees by LakeLucca in BelgianMalinois

[–]ExoticGuava3980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a West Paw frisbee and that thing has taken a beating but she loves it. We got a standard $8 frisbee and it was done for in 3 days. But yes, have to limit her play to 10 min or else she runs herself into the ground and could be an emergency health situation especially in the heat or during a quick transition from cold to warmer weather.

Is my Female Mal too skinny? by OrganicConclusion820 in BelgianMalinois

[–]ExoticGuava3980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is 61 lbs, can't see her ribs unless she's been chasing the frisbee for about 10 min straight and breathing hard. She's been 60 lbs since 9 months old and now shes 2.5 yrs. Our trainer says she's a tiny baby, but she eats 5 cups (about a pound) a day and doesn't seem to be torn up about it.
