Been a while since I've been on and posted anything about Charlie since his surgery. Figured I'd post some pictures of him since he turned 1 in February.
He's still a wild child, though getting better, still chases the cat every now and then, and now his new favorite thing...jump the fence...
Kind of an update on Charlie post surgery. He's doing great, healed great, just with some pretty severe scar tissue, but most of his hair has grown back, and he's grown a lot!
Here's some pictures of Sadie and Charlie in the yard playing. Sometimes I still can't get over how much more mass...
I love seeing how opposite creatures live in such harmony. 1 an innocent 10 year old girl, and on the other side, a large, protective, intense dog.
Must have been an awesome sight.
Charlie seems to be doing ok, but we will see how he reacts next time we come across a dog.
Honestly I'm glad we had charlie and not sadie. Sadie would have been A LOT less forgiving in that situation.
Took charlie on a good long walk tonight and towards the end of our walk we came across a girl in her 20s walking her small little dog don't remember what it was on a leash....but her very large, 80-90 pound lab (head came up to my hip, and I'm 6 foot) not on a leash, despite the leash law here...
Doesn't look too bad, a lot of grain, but at least it's not corn. I like the simple,few ingredients though.
These days however, whatever the best food you can afford and keeps food in your dogs bowl is the best dog food.
Yes we make sure he pees before we leave.
Charlie is 7 months old now. We left him in our bathroom (we live in an older house) and despite our "dog proofing" he managed to grab the carpet in a corner some where and peel the carpet back off the linoleum that used to be there, but he didn't...
Scrubbed and cleaned the kennel today. Later we put it back together because we were going out, and we weren't even gone an hour and he pee'd in there again. I'm at a loss. Can a dog pee out of anxiety? I know he has some seperation anxiety and I'm wondering if thats what's causing it.
Good idea but 1: he'd jump it in a heart beat, he already jumps our 4 foot fence. 2: I really don't have 60-70 bucks to spend on one and 3: I don't have the space in my house to put such a thing.
