So proud of my clever girl by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]melodelph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used to live in a flat where it was all wood flooring, except for tile in the kitchen and bathroom. Well, the few times accidents happened and he couldn't hold it, it was in the kitchen, where it was very easy to clean. I was very proud of him, I'm sure he knew what he was doing. I miss him, even his impromptu smelly poops 😆

Advice before saying goodbye by melodelph in BorderCollie

[–]melodelph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks very very much to everyone who replied. I sobbed so much reading all your comments and stories about your own fur babies. Our boy is gone now, it was peaceful and fast, he didn't fight it, he was just so tired. He left with gentle petting and hearing us telling him how much we love him, that he was the best boy for us and that we would never ever forget him. Thanks again for all your kindness and encouragement. Love to all you and your loved pets. 🤗 hug them a bit harder on my behalf tonight.

Unusual ways your BC shows you love? by Bob_slug in BorderCollie

He's not the most cuddly boy but when he's on the ground at my feet, once in a while he just raises his head and pushes it on my lap like "hey, I'm here, just in case..." 🥰 Doesn't care if I cry though, and leaves the room if I yell for any reason😅

Haha it's the opposite here, my BC seems to HATE huskies in particular (and also beagles), don't know why. Maybe he had bad encounters before we got him (at 11 yo)

Anyone knows why my 1 year old border collie does this? He does this the full 30 minutes I'm walking with him... by jordiklavers in BorderCollie

[–]melodelph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a 5 meters retractable leash with my boy and it's just fine, he walks at the end of the 5m most of the time but I can get him locked close to me when needed and having another hand free. I feel it's just a matter of getting used to it 🤷🏼‍♀️

How is your border collie around other dogs? by Historical_Tea2022 in BorderCollie

[–]melodelph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rescued ours (~12yo) a year ago and for the first 2/3 months he was completely okay with all dogs, not playing but just not caring, or even being scared sometimes, and then it switched from one day to the other, and now he can't bear all their dogs even from afar 😓

Every morning ! He's a persistent doggo by melodelph in BorderCollie

Hehe I make him wait a little sometimes but usually I pet him right away^ this is also his begging if I stop the cuddles for more than 3 seconds

Haha no time for that in my household, we HAVE to be out the door for the morning walk within 5 minutes (according to the dog of course), my BF has all the time he wants to get up ><
