Strange things your pets do...

We have my wife's sister living with us at the moment. So the door to the bunk room usually stays closed. The door is a sliding barn door for the bunk room.

My sister in law went to bed and my wife and I were still up. I'm in the bathroom just finished taking a shower when I hear a ruckus from the living room and binkroom area.

Well gypsy's ball rolled under the door and into the bunk room.

What we found out was Gypsy knows how to open that door.

So she slid the bunkroom door open and was getting her ball

Our 9 month old Catahoula puppy HATES anything up in the sky that makes noise. A raven, helicopter, plane and especially the night hawks when they dive. I'm wondering at this point if she'll grow out of it. Neither of our adult Catahoula dogs do this so the pup didn't learn it from them.

Is she scared of them or does she bark at them?

We had a male Cairn Terrier that would stand on his hind legs and bark at lighting and thunder, jets, and oh boy if a hot air balloon goes over!

Drones will freak out my German shepherd.

I kept hearing a buzzing sound but couldn't see it at first.

Boy the hackles stood up on gypsy's back, and she was looking at it and growling.

Thats when I looked up and realized it was a drone.

Then we were off!!!! I got dragged back home. She was having none of that mess

She barks, howls and growls for sure. But at her age she is definitely a chicken ****. If the big dogs tear off to investigate something the pup has to be involved but she hangs well back and barks from a safe place. It's really kind of funny.

Anyone who has lived with a Lab will recognize this behavior. Those dogs live for food.

You may want to look at that as a hint from your dog to raise your dog’s feeding bowl onto a platform.
Dogs need to eat at a height that’s healthy for swallowing and good digestion.

I'm not teaching mine to eat at table or counter height. They can but know better. I'd rather them lay down to eat.
All of them can reach the back of the stove with 4 paws on the ground or the top of the fridge with 2 on the floor.

Ma had a small terror pup who always had to back his bum up to something when he pooped.
Until he got house broken you would find puppy poop stuck to different surfaces at his bum level.
His favorite was doors and winter boots.
He was spotless after being house broke.
But even outside he would back into bushes, tree trunks, car tires...
Years later he had a daughter that was the same way.

Question for you fellow terror owners: we have a Boston Terrier, 2 years old, that wants to play more hours per day than we have time to entertain it, or at times we’re just not available. It seems a second dog is in order, so she has a playmate.

We’ve done the dual dog thing before, we had two mini Pinschers at the same time previously, but although they just passed two years ago, it has been too many years since they were young pups for me to remember how advantageous or painful that was.

We have two adoption candidates, both 2 - 4 years old, one being another female Boston terrier and the other a French bulldog. The frenchie is a true couch potato, just wants to sleep or cuddle all day, the Boston terrier is the typical terror.

So, the question is, which would be a better playmate for our dog, and either have an overall calming effect on her, or give her someone to play with when we cannot?

I’m leaning toward the second Boston, but worry it might increase rather than decrease our overall time commitment. On the flip side, the couch potato may displace our present dog’s evening cuddle time with the kids, which could have a detrimental effect.
