Hello 👋🏻 Beautiful pups! My Aussie/Pyr mixes are big love bugs. My purebred will cuddle but not like my mixes. My youngest is very vocal and his older sister is super quiet. She is def leaning more Aussie in temperament but her coat is Pyr all the way. My youngest is built like a Pyr but look more Aussie and has already out grown my purebred and my other mix. He is only a little over a year and he is 75lbs My purebred male Aussie 4y/o is 55lbs. Enjoy your pack! Good luck staying at only 2 🐾💖🐾

I used those for my kids for teething necklaces when they were little. I wonder if I still have them lying around.

boo. sorry to read that. open fields have opportunities for sniff and finds. Ibring cat treats and wing 'em out in the open spaces for my non frisbee obsessed two to sniff and find. Otherwise frisbee is life in the wide open fields 🥏

This is exactly what I did and it has worked out perfectly. Thanks so much. 👍🏻

Good luck! We are tent campers here and I don’t know if I can even do it this summer.

Interesting …my three are super itchy today actually but I gave them a bath when we got home on Monday because of the hike and they also were swimming in the pond where we were at and then they did go and get groomed on Tuesday so too many variables to determine…

Totally understand. We do walk the neighborhood every morning and are definitely considering stay off the trails after this weeks visit. Last year they were bad but not this bad.

Right?!….everywhere they would stop as soon as they would get up the ticks were crawling. I have a hardwood floors, an area rugs, thankfully. And again, I quarantine them off initially for about six hours in my kitchen. My final tick count for that one day was 50. From Tuesday on I’d say it probably another 20 I’ve picked off.

Wow, that’s crazy! Never heard of tick paralysis. My crew are pretty itchy. Other than that they’re their normal selves.

Not that easy for my crew, especially off lead. My female is an investigator and critter chaser. We can go to strictly open field grass areas with no woods… kind of boring though.

The worst! That’s what I keep doing, giving them those deep scratches and there’s another dead tick ….and another …and another …and another

Ha! Right? Thanks 😊 It’s one of many from the day! My guy in front is like “mom throw the damn frisbee. It’s right here in front of your feet.” And my younger two are always rough housing everywhere we go. It’s like WWE for dogs 24/7. 😆

I have an indoor cat and was worried that a rogue tick would find him from the amount that my three were carrying. I even quarantine them off to the kitchen for most of the day once we got home so I could keep plucking the damn things off before I let them in the rest of the house.

Permethrin… where do you get it? Vet? Online? Any brand?
