He was really wary of Big Dave apparently and visibly anxious. She put him back in the van with Bisto, her chocolate lab who he's known since he was a pup. I'm gutted. Hopefully some time will help but he's already reactive with some dogs due to repeated attacks by a JRT in the village.

LazyDaisy 6 Jun 1:13pm, 6 Jun 2024 40,206 posts	0 LazyDaisy That's sad and also very annoying HP, but hopefully he will become less anxious as time goes by with no repetition. Floss is always 'circumspect', but no stronger than that, meeting small terriers and greyhounds, both dog types she's been chased/attacked by years ago.
LazyDaisy 6 Jun 6:42pm, 6 Jun 2024 40,210 posts	0 LazyDaisy ION Floss had her annual vaccinations and kennel cough shot today. While the vet was examining her she commented that Floss' panting was quite 'raspy'. Apparently it's common with elderly retriever types that their larynx thickens with age. This would explain why she snores so loudly in the evening! The vet said there was no need to worry about this thickening unless it started making it difficult for her to catch her breath when playing or panting excessively if she gets really hot. Certainly at the moment neither of those issues have arisen, and in fact the vet thought Floss was in very fine fettle for a nearly 12 year old Lab

Since we have had issues with him being left alone and if he spots another husky he gets very very animated
