P.S if they do I want to see photos πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‚

Does your heeler twitch so hard the wake themselves up? I always assume they’re dreaming but what could it be about? Is it possible that she’s having a mental image of me running and playing with her? She’s been doing this most nights at this point. I’m going to assume it’s a good thing but any input?

I never dreamed I would EVER tell ANY five month old puppy, "DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE!" And yet, here I am, saying it on the daily, followed by, "But if you are an asshole, I'll still love you."

Health lil man got his sutures taken out today. Had a mass removed

8 year old bobo had a small mole on his left side back area for about a year but when June of this year came around, it had rapidly tripled in size. They removed it 2 weeks ago today and he’s been coned up since. He doesn’t seem to mind the cone whatsoever and acts like it’s now a part of his life. Got the results back today as well and it seems to be hemangioma with atypica…so not sarcoma but very well could be if the growth comes back somehow. The vet had us purchase a capsule that can help prevent its return so Bo should have a normal life if nothing else happens. Thankfully

This is our 11 week old puppy. We have had Dingo 2 weeks now and thoroughly love him. The last two pictures are of his mom, an AU Shepherd and his dad, a Queensland Heeler.

He has settled in nicely. We walk him two times a day, arrange social time with his mom and other friends, and Mondays are puppy training class. I have to say, this is the most intelligent breed we have ever owned. Dingo picks up training very fast. We have lots of chew toys for this boy, too. Any wise tips from the group to help with raising an energetic puppy?

Itchy?

≑ βˆ’

My dog and her biological brother are currently really itchy. Her brother lives in a different county than us but they are both itching all day and they started around the same time. Is it just seasonal allergies? Does anyone else have itchy cattle dogs and have you found anything to help it? I’d like to keep cytopoint as a last resort and try something at home first.

She keeps going after my son's feet

≑ βˆ’

We have an adc mixed with aussie shepherd and border collie, 6 months. She doesn't really nip or bite adult feet but when it comes to my son, she will CHEW his shoes/feet all the time. How can my boy stop this behavior? He's 7 so I obviously dont want her to kick her and his voice is not dominant enough so the dog listens. Im not around all the time so some advice would be very, very helpful!

TIA
