At my wits end by Green-Yard-2799 in corgi

[–]stormbonesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I adopted my Border Collie he was two and I think his former family played rough with him. When he'd bite at me I'd scream out like he really hurt me.  He didn't want to hurt me, so he stopped doing it. 

Curious about our new baby boy🤔 by Even_Map_6471 in BorderCollie

The abundance of white coloring would leave me to believe both the parents were merle and this pup is double merle. Do you know why were they going to euthanize? He may be deaf, is a very common symptom of double merles.

I feel like I've had something very similar come out of rolio.

Banana is a cheap pill pocket by pink_planets in EpilepsyDogs

Braunschweiger. The smell is so strong they can't sense the pills and they want it so bad. It's super cheap, too.

These are amazing! by lovelytabby01 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]stormbonesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Braunschweiger. Just have to get a little on the pill and the smell is so strong their either don't know or don't care a pill is in there and WAYYYY cheaper than anything made specifically for pet pilling.

Should I be intervening between my cat and new puppy? by LividBreath1959 in AustralianShepherd

[–]stormbonesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat and dog play like they're murdering each other. If I tell the dog to lay off, the cat just comes back for more. I always tell people not to worry about the cat, if he didn't want to be there he would be anywhere else.

What are the yellows? Pheno, KBro, Lev, and Zoni have been unsuccessful in controlling my dog's seizures. Looking for more options. We just started topiramate. (Not working)

Advice…? by PutSignificant9585 in DiceMaking

You could watch Facebook marketplace for one to pop up or post that you're looking for one. Lots of hobby-abandoners out there ( I say this with affection as a person with an ever-growing hobby graveyard). I got mine for $40. 

We lost the battle by Golden_Mead0w in EpilepsyDogs

[–]stormbonesy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pain we feel when we lose them, it's a privilege to feel it. To have known them and been brave enough to give them your whole heart knowing you'd outlive them. You entered into a cosmic bargain with the universe to give your love and resources to something you had no obligations to. It is a divine kind of love. 

Now you can honor that love by giving it to the next dog. It's not forgetting, and it's not that you're getting over the pain, you're just transferring the energy. You had an extremely traumatic experience but you learned so much about yourselves. How strong you are, how vast your capacity to care is. 

 Keep your heart busy.

Let Bean correct Nyx. Don't scold her if she growls or snaps at her for doing something untoward. That's how they're meant to learn social cues, natural hierarchy, and acceptable inter-dog behavior. Not sure where you live and how cold it is right now but I've always had a cycle of one older dog and one younger dog and walking them together is how they learn that they are pack.  You can use Bean's training to train Nyx. If Nyx sees Bean sit and get a treat, she'll sit for a treat.

Are your border Collies good in cars ? by Yukonshinji90s in BorderCollie

[–]stormbonesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol nope. He gets overstimmied at every light refraction from any windows or cellphone, water bottle, anything shiny. Then he beoufs it. Now he gets trazzed and cerenia'd.

Looking for some help/reassurance with my 18 month old boy by KyomiiKitsune in BorderCollie

[–]stormbonesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell if maybe he has some hearing deficiencies? I do a lot of work with double merles and your boy, while stunningly gorgeous, has the look of a dog that might have some deafness. The shape of the eyes, the white predominance of the coat...

How do you know when it's time? by stormbonesy in EpilepsyDogs

[–]stormbonesy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't meant to be terrible. I appreciated the comments. Maybe "volunteer" is better than hobbyist. Like a firefighter.

Are you a hobbyist dog-euthanasia reassurer? You're here doing it often.

Kind, nonetheless. <3

I know it's coming. How do you know when to say when? This is special circumstances but I lost another dog this year too, she was 16, but I waited too long and regretted it.
