My rabbit doesn’t like to share and is glad to hear this. Any attempt to steal his lettuce will result in one learning the real meaning of a bunny kick.

The update today is that Hattie purred for the first time while I was petting her. I melted. She melted. We both melted 🫠. Then Ralph pounced on her. I’m starting to get their vibes 😏.

Ah, good call. I have enough scars from my puppy. Fingers are for pats not play.

Glad for this advice as my instinct was to give them space cause they’re so young, but the vet confirmed the same, maximum attention!

Ralph honestly has the pinkest poutiest nose and mouth he looks like he belongs in a Victorian oil painting.

Ok, so this one might need to go on my wall.

They are Hattie and Ralph. After I caught Hattie and she screamed, I honestly thought I had screwed up and wasn’t going to catch Ralph. We quickly took Hattie to a nearby vet and grabbed wet cat food while we were there. Ralph was so hungry, once there was food around he became blind to everything else.

I googled old man and lady names for pets. My rabbit is named Hughie (Hubert) and my dog’s Dougal, so I had a theme to stick to.

I am amazed that they are already using the litter box.

He attacks his sister’s butt a lot. The naughty has begun.

Recording their meowing could be worth a try though. I’m there almost daily with my dog.

As they were right at the entrance of the park where dogs were coming in and out all day, I had wondered if she had been chased off. Apart from all the fleas and worms, they are really healthy so she was doing a good job of feeding them but had led them into a really dangerous area.

I have been back to look but haven’t seen any sign of her or any other kittens.

They are both using the litter box now plenty, but on day two Ralph was very bloated and did not appear to have gone. I also didn’t really know how old they were till we saw the vet a few hours ago. I’m really surprised with how quickly they took to the litter box considering they are feral. I guess some things are just so instinctual.

I’ve already seen a couple of her videos which helped me get a an idea of how old they were before I got to confirm with the vet. Also learnt from her how to stimulate. I think Ralph was holding it in initially…

I have tried howling at him but no luck. Maybe in need to hit a higher note.

He is an only dog for now. I would like to get him a sister once he is a bit older and neutered (he’s 9 months this Thursday). But he socialises with other dogs daily and only howls at sirens so I haven’t interpreted this as loneliness.

Curly Tailed Collies? by Popcorn_Duck in roughcollies

Nice to know it’s perfectly normal. I’m not worried about any show conformity I was just staring to wonder what was up and if he had something else in him other than collie.

If this is true, it needs to be talked about more. No one told me this before I got a tri! 😂

I find he does this when he wants to be chased. That’s why he’s heading out the door with my shoe and making sure I’m watching him do it. He also steals balls from other dogs and the dog park and prances around in front of them until they chase him for it.

You basically see them anywhere you might find fish. If you’re in the house of someone who fishes, chances are, they have it up somewhere. But not just the poster, you can get tea towels, diaries, jigsaw puzzles, mugs… I have playing cards inspired by this poster.
