@charity1 All I have to do is leave for 30 seconds to take out the trash and he’s the happiest boy when I return.

@revolutionist90 Unfortunately, yes. Otherwise he rips apart pillows, cushions, chews magazines, etc. destructo-dog for sure when left by himself with no stimulation

@aleeta49 What would you recommend replacing the clothing with? He has very thin skin and the plastic cage bottom causes his elbows redevelop open sores. He also has a tendency to rip things open (such as a dog bed). We will be looking into dividers today, I didn't even know they existed or it...

@jolene250 If I had known dividers existed before now, we wouldn't even. Have this problem - thank you!

Hi folks, I've posted here once before on other matters and you all have been phenomenal, so I'm really hoping you can help me find an answer to this as well! My boyfriend and I are the parents of a lovely 2 year old foxhound mix. He's roughly 65 pounds, and all legs. When we first got him...

@appycatholic Thank you so much! And you're right - no one will ever be 100% ready. I really just had to weigh whether the circumstances at the end of it all would benefit myself and the dog, and I couldn't say yes to that question. I look forward to the day I can give a dog everything that you...

Hi everybody. This might be long. I've written to this sub a few times over the past month or so about my adoption journey. It's had it's ups and downs, with so much research and second guessing myself, almost adopting before a foster decided they couldn't part with the pup, then finally taking...
