Thing you do for your dog

[Burnamer]

I am currently sat on the (tiled and cold) utility floor waiting for ddog to come back inside. I should be out running before work but he didn’t want me to go so here I am…..

Anyone else?

My dog has recurrent paraphimosis and at least once a day I have to ‘put him back in ‘ . For a variety of reasons he can’t be circumcised. Oh Joy !

Ddog likes to sleep with a toy elephant. Often involves me getting out of bed to go find an elephant when she's forgotten to bring it upstairs and doesn't want to go back down alone.

I think you're going to win this... 😂

@dolphinsarentcommon it’s lucky I love him so much however he is the last male animal I will ever be getting !

I wish there was a like button!

DDog is diabetic, has to be fed in 12 hour intervals, I am often hand feeding, putting food on the floor, trying different bowls / plates to get him to eat. Pretend he going to get something high value and then whip it away last minute so he get's his fish food, and get the insulin in, while trying to the kids out to school. Nothing relaxing about it.

Good job I love him!

Our family works 3 different shifts so that our 9 year old dog wouldn't be left alone due to severe separation anxiety.
Although, that can change now as he passed away on Monday 😥.
He was worth every second and we just want our baby boy back.

Leave on underfloor heating because my 2 girls like to keep paws warm when walking on kitchen floor.

I spend the last 5 mins before I turn in with my dog - fussing and talking to her and I tuck her up under a warm blanket and say goodnight, see you in the morning.

Ddog had an op today so I am sleeping on the sofa with him to make sure he is ok. He has the pillow and most of the blanket. Im in a unnatural position trying not to disturb his sleep

Generously spread two slices of ham with lashings of Philadelphia and wrap a tablet for his Cushings disease in it. Won't take it otherwise. He's a wily old terrier and knows every trick in the book to get what he wants!

@Ludoole I'm so sorry. Sounds like he had the best life with you

When I had my first dog (11 plus present), a Staffie, my siblings and I used to gather round his basket at bedtime and sing him a specially composed "bedtime song" each night (it was to the tune of the Teddy Bears Picnic), then tell him
" 'Jamis on" and tuck his blanket over him. Even my serious older brother, who was 16 at the time.

Mine sleeps in our room until 12 and then I carry him into his room ( hes 16kg ) tuck him into his own bed and tell him not to lick ( it doesn’t work - see above ) .

My sister has spent the past two weeks caring for my niece's little pug while she is on holiday. She has spent every night sleeping on the sofa with her ( being a pug she snores for England). Also can't watch Netflix during her stay because she rushes at the TV barking, Just as well she is such a little sweetie!
