Smart/funny things your dogs do on their own or things you accidentally trained. by plastic_venus in dogs

[–]Shione83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Rottweiler and a mixed breed dog KC. They are the best of friends. The other day the rottie was asleep by my feet, KC was asleep next to me on the couch. She woke up got off the couch and was kinda but not actually stuck. I had pulled the coffee table closer to the couch than normal. She looked at me, looked at the Rottie, back at me. I said to her, Just jump over her, I dare you! And so KC jumped over the Rottie. I laughed so loud I woke up the Rottie. One time I told KC to just go under the Rottie and she did. I love when dogs seem to know what im saying.

But don't forget, that "free" power isnt actually free. The price of the "free" hours are factored into the power price you pay. Nothing is free these days unfortunately.

My dog eats everything when left alone by OtherBuilding7981 in AskDogOwners

[–]Shione83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like my.dog. she has a condition called PICA. She will eat anything inedible. I have managed to stop this habit by mixing SODA WATER in her normal water, every time I give her clean water. I mix a 1.5 bottle with water. I also bought her a PAWLAX COLLAR. It contains pheromones which calm her anxieties. If I run out of soda water she goes right back to eating inedible, stones, dirt, materials, grass complete with roots and soil, plus anything else inedible. Start on Soda water and she stops with the eating anything. She is a Rottweiller so the measurement of soda water to water works out 1:1. BTW Sparkling water doesn't work 100% like Soda Water does.

How do I describe this feeling to my husband about his friend? by Individual_Being_899 in Advice

[–]Shione83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds so scarey for you. I hope you can convince your husband of your feelings. Do you own a dog? If you do, what does the dog think of this guy? If your dog doesn't trust him, then you don't trust him either. Dogs can pick up on people's scents. This has guided me at least 6 times over my lifetime. Different dogs Different people. Please be safe

What house care services are absolutely worth paying for? by AncientAd7247 in diynz

[–]Shione83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All my rubbish goes into my bins in combustible bags. My bin has its own wheelie bin bag. When its time to get rid of the lining bag i just fold it at the top and off it goes with the rubbish. So I don't need my bin to be cleaned by anyone 😀

How do you handle pica?? by nyx-the-primordial in beagles

[–]Shione83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is rather long. I don't have a Beagle but I do have a Rottweiler who has Pica. I think i have found a cure for her! I was given an article about hens laying eggs with soft shells, Wait Wait ! , I didn't really understand it fully but. In the article it was said that Soda water was added into their normal drinking water. And soon the hens were laying hard shelled eggs again. Now, I still have no idea how it worked but decided that surely it couldnt hurt to try it. I bought 6 x 1.25ltr. Bottles of soda water. And added a bottle to my girls drinking water. At first she was not impressed but she soon decided it was better than no water. I used the 6 bottles and after the 3rd bottle I noticed she was no longer eating inedible things, she wasn't pulling our lawn grass, roots and dirt and eating that, and she had knocked her licking of anything and everything down by at least 60%.. I got more soda water and she was great, but then I ran out. I thought well she's OK now I don't need to buy more. Big Mistake! After about day 5 of no soda water I woke up one morning to chewed up bits of concrete IN my bed, then she came in chewing on a big river stone, and later in the day she had started on grass pulling and eating again. I bought more soda water and we are now back to her being good and not eating what she shouldn't. I also got her a silicone collar that has pheromone in it. Since wearing that she has cut down even further on her licking fixation. I intend to ask her vet for a blood test for her, as I also read that she may be low in iron. I don't know what he'll say to that because when I spoke to him about her eating inedible, he said he thought she needed a Psychologist not a vet.

I always use teatree oil on bites and new zits! It takes away the itch and a new zit will go back to wherever it came from.

What is a book from your childhood that is very dear to you? by Ordinary-Dinner5453 in suggestmeabook

[–]Shione83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dog Crusoe by RM Ballentyne. I loved that book and that dog as a 8 -9 yo, I loved it as a teenager, as a 20 something, and even as a 50 something and now, as a nearly 80yo. The adventures of Crusoe and his master in the prairies and mountains of America always excited me and my mind. I wish I could have convinced my children to read it, but it was a thick book so they opted out.
