Roberto Jul 2021 9:51pm, 1 Jul 2021 1,965 posts	Quote Pin Roberto UC, definitely get a ceramic bowl, and definitely not a bowl with slanted sides. Arlo used to do it constantly. Slow progress with Arlo. And I'm tired and on edge all the time which isn't helping. But progress is progress. Still hiding upstairs on a night though.

We met an old acquaintance who she loves, his two Labs and the puppy son of one of them - 13 weeks old and as gorgeous as Lab puppies can be Then I took her on one of my running loops through a farm and for once there was no dawdling, she was as perky as you like with the new sights and smells. Cheered us both up
SarahWoo Jul 2021 10:52am, 2 Jul 2021 14,623 posts	Quote Pin SarahWoo Sounds great, LD Poor Poppy has kennel cough. There's a lot of it about around here at the moment. She's gone from a bouncy, enthusiastic, cheerful lab to being very listless. The meds she got yesterday should soon sort her out though.
LazyDaisy Jul 2021 3:11pm, 2 Jul 2021 33,713 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy Kennel cough is rife locally (my son's 2 dogs picked it up at daycare, even though all dogs there have to have up to date innoculations) and around my sister-in-law's in Harrow - so it sounds like a nationwide problem. Floss is due for her boosters a week on Monday so I hope she doesn't pick up anything before then
Mazlin Jul 2021 3:37pm, 2 Jul 2021 10,226 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin Rory made such a fuss about his last pre-Covid kennel cough booster that the vet ended up giving it to me to try at home. Last time obviously I wasn’t allowed in, but he was FURIOUS and they got me to pick him up first and pay after because he was barking so loudly.
Irontubs Jul 2021 11:42am, 3 Jul 2021 3,416 posts	Quote Pin Irontubs Morning all Poor Poppy, hope she gets well soon. Lola was introduced to the joys of the kennel cough vaccination yesterday. Didn’t do too badly. I know it won’t be until next year but I’m hoping that Lola and I can go run together and maybe even attempt some Canicross. Can anyone recommend a running harness/belt that I can introduce her to while she is young. Also what pet insurance would anyone recommend
