Hi my name is Lori and I have a 5 year old cocker spaniel (housetrained), that has suddenly started bringing in his poop.
First time I've ever seen a dog do this?
He's not bringing it in to me, and he's not eating it.
He just brings it and puts it on the rug?
If someone has some insight or had this happen please let me know!!!

I have 2 Cavaliers, 4 and 6. Had to wait until retired to have dog as worked in London. They get me up and out each morning and always feel better after walk. The elder is a real scrounger, telling everyone he needs a treat. I was out Friday afternoon and evening so they were with my daughter and he really disgraced himself by taking dog biscuits off the bottom shelf of a pushchair. He is bad but lovely!

Hi all I have a Heinz dog whom I adore when my partner passed it was him that got me back into. Life again . The unconditional love of a faithful dog is second to non . When People that say they do not like dogs I feel their souls have yet to be fully awake . The pleasure I get from walking my boy watching him play with the other dog makes me smile every day janet

I have a 14 year old terrier cross called Mollie, named after a very feisty Irish cousin. Moll has been fantastic and when my husband died she really helped me through it. She's getting on now and has a heart murmur but with medication that seems to be better, fingers crossed. We have such fun together and as I write books on walks, she features in all my books!

My 7 y.o Bichon has been housetrained for years but has started intermittently to poo in the house.
I went back to crate training and he was always perfect. He’ll be fine for weeks and then do it even though we have a doggy door to enclosed back yard. Any ideas on how to stop a dog who knows it is wrong but doesn’t care?

Hi everyone - I've a Scottie (Mmmmm) This is my third Scottie and they are all different. I thought this would be a friend for a 17 year old Westie who still plays and grumbles as you do at that age. Anyway, the Scotties name is Arti and he's 20 months old. He's wonderful in doors loves everyone - But, out walking he wants to kill! Has anyone any tips that might help - he's not neutered as yet? I don't let him off the lead (we are not a popular pair) and he wears a muzzle. I've tried finding a training class - but for some reason no-one replies to my pleas of desperation. I sing when he goes mad and walk smartly by everyone on the other side of the road, (having stumbled through raging traffic with dog dangling killing the lead) so its not me giving off negative vibrations I don't think. I'm not giving up - there must be a way?

Hi, I have 2 dogs a 13yr old collie..Bud and a small terrier,11yr old..Pixie. both rescue dogs. I've had Bud 7 years now and what a loving gentle boy he is. Pixie has been with me for 18mths and pure energy. old Bud is starting to struggle with his back legs but half a paracetamol 250mg and some kippers every morning is doing wonders for him. He has cateracts and I will get them done for him as long as he can get about. I hope it's a long way off yet but I do plan to adopt another older dog just to give him/her some comfort in old age.

Hello Chunkybud!

One of my miniature Schnauzers has a problem with one of his back legs. The vet says it is likely to be a trapped nerve, and suggested some Supervet style treatment on his spinal discs. I have declined because he is elderly (12), has a good quality of life and doesn't seem to be in any pain. I was interested to read that you give Bud a dose of paracetamol each day - I didn't know that you could give this to dogs. And the kippers too. I wonder why this regime gas been so successful?

Hi,

I have had dogs around me all my life and could not imagine being without them. At the moment I have four Miniature Schnauzers and a Golden Retriever. One of my minis, a pepper and salt boy, is 12 years old and has had an underactive thyroid gland since he was four. He has to rake a form of thyroxine every day. If there's anyone out there who loves Schnauzers or Goldens, then do get in touch.

Hi I'm new to this site, which appears to be a UK site. I live in Coastal Maine, USA. I'm 71 and have been retired for about 20 years. We have eight dogs: two retired racing Greyhounds, a very old Yorkie, an elderly Schnauzer mix and four Chihuahuas. All except the Yorkie are rescue dogs. We have had English Mastiffs for many years, but our last two died a couple of years ago. When I was younger, I did a great deal of racing Greyhound rescue and placement when the movement was new in the U.S. and I might add that having seen what goes on behind the scenes, I am adamantly opposed to Greyhound racing. The loving, gentle dogs make wonderful pets and may be the easiest dogs ever to live with. Oh, we also have three cats. Love all animals.

Hi all I just love all animals period. I live in a very rural community I have 4 labs and an ever ebb and flow of cats and kittens that just seem to show up. I do rehome many of the cats and kittens but have my favorites who stick around as kinda feral to others but me. From the age of six I always had a cat or 2 and thought myself a die hard cat person till I dated this one guy who had a lab cross. I was hooked and went and got a lab of my own. From the moment I met my dear girl she followed me every were we were rarely apart until the day she died. I sadly had to put her to sleep. It was the right thing to do for her but the very hardest thing I had to do. As everyone knows doing the right thing is never easy. I mourned her passing for 4 years. I couldn't speak of her or say her name without at the very least shedding a tear more often I would go off to have myself a good cry. As time went on the tears lessened until one day I realised I could remember all the wonderful times we shared. I will miss my special girl to my own dying day but feel honored and blessed and grateful she was in my life.
We share our lives with these amazing beings, who love us unconditionally, protect us without question, comfort us when we hurt and rejoice with us on our best days. I honestly can't think of to many other beings who have been in my life that shared their lives so openly and asking so little in return like my girl. It stands to reason that we would mourn the loss. In a way we honor our friends by acknowledging the very and deep bond we shared and it's loss in our life.
Allow yourself to mourn, do what ever you feel you need to do to deal with the loss and take as much time as you need to get to the day were your memory's bring a smile to your face instead of tears.
The poem rainbow bridge helped / helps me hopefully it will help you my thoughts are with you.

I thought long and hard before getting my dog, but 3 years on, I couldn't imagine my life without him. He is a border terrier with all the terrier characteristics except chasing other small animals, he's a pacifist dog. My partner and I take him everywhere with us, we are now experts on dog friendly hotels and areas. I never realised the dog walking community existed and What a pleasure it is to meet them and their canine companions.

I could talk all day about my little rescue dog who was found tied to a lamp-post in Croydon in a dreadful matted mess. He's been here with me in Dorset for 4½ years and I wouldn't be without him, particularly after losing my husband last year. He's a Shih Tzu x Bichon Frise and a little devil, knowing how to get his own way!!! I also have a rescue cat who lives behind the telly cos Ollie won't let her out and she's not the sort to have a go at him!!!

I belong to a number of rescue forums and am very tempted to get a little friend to keep him company, even though I'm home virtually 24/7 but then I'd need a new bed as there just wouldn't be room for three of us!!!

Hi there jemms. This is new to me I do not normally do chat sites but here goes. I was looking to talk about birds but I also have a dog and a turtle.I used to have a maltese X and he was lonely so I rescued a female X shitzu from the pound. They lived together for 14 years they both died at age 17. They died within 3 months of each other. Four years later I bought a peek-a-pom male. Thinks he owns the planet......lol
