Trying to keep a reactive, energetic, anxious dog calm after an operation is DIFFICULT and STRESSFUL. Daisy has developed a seroma at the incision so that's mint. Should be fine, if we can keep her calm.

Pretty impressive that it's good-looking in each config too

Daisy's back from the op, she's okay but her wound isn't in the best nick, a bit oozey and we have to take her back in 2 days for a check up but, so glad to have her and her daft shaven tummy back home

Nothing like some anecdotes to calm the nerves lol, thanks. I'm concerned it'll make her reactivity worse but think overall it's the right thing to do. We had a dog die after being speyed when I was younger so that's likely contributing too.

He's up and waving in the end of one of the vids, though clearly in a load of pain

Daisy is booked in to be speyed this week - feel a bit nervous about it. Anyone had any noticeable behavioural issues or differences following the op?

Fantastic

Nice calm one for me this morning - linked in with a pal who was on his long run. Jogged there and back too making a total of 9km and my longest run in some time. Nice morning!

Did a wiggle instead.
Off to the charity bike shop to get some tyres on my lunch. 2.4 ardents lol, should be a laugh

Does anyone have any 180mm 6 bolt rotors I could buy? Might be the last piece of the puzzle

Lovely

I somewhat knew this before from my family dogs, but the ('responsible') adult:dog kinship is a totally different experience.

Absolutely. I missed our dogs when I was younger but was absolutely gutted first time we left Daisy with family, was a total shock.

I hate wfh, my partner loves it. We have a dog now, so one of us at least stays home every day. No prizes for guessing which of us is being dragged into the office more and more

Any opportunity. How daisy likes to sit for a scratch sometimes:

@Netakure post up some of that sweet Spanish gravel

+1 no more backwards looking forks pls

@Belagerent has my full support, as ever

It's more all of the built up stress from the house move, firework nights, separation anxiety, reactivity, and that she's stronger than my partner

I think I'll measure daisy up and get see if they'll make us one of these double strap numbers.
Job #1 - convince partner we're keeping her

Yeah fair I can see how that second rearmost strap will help, thanks

Lurcher x alsation
I'll check out cozydogs, thanks!

1 very sad looking dog pic

Daisy wriggled out of her harness this morning on her walk with my partner and nearly put herself under a van. Vibes are not good in the house, lots of "I don't want to have a dog anymore".
Daisy's front end is basically a cone so she's no good for collars, and has now managed to get out of the (pretty naff) harness that arrived with her and the julius k9 one we got for her. She's very deep-chested and her "elbows" are quite high - struggling to see how another harness is going to stop her getting out. Bleurgh. This is hard.

Whole page is, really
