@ bungus
fully alright that you chop it short when it can keep your dog healthy and away from things they should not eat only right thing you want to do to keep loved pets healthy! it is a bit of natural reaction to ask people to let there trees live when they can^//^, but it is bether like this^__^

really no fun when dog have hurting stomach from things they eat to much of...my girl has this with apples from the ground when we are not fast enough and pick all up...... so i understand your fear.

but with the squatting that sometime males do when they pee( yes most females squat and some do it like males with leg up), and some males do it since they can walk in squatting way(i know a dobi who pees in squatting position since he was a puppy (did think it was a female first^^) and i think i last did see him still do i as adult too^^) and other sqat when they dont feel so nice in the moment or have trouble to pee...or when older...

poor babys of yours, as his belly hurts from runny poo it may be because of this...they have to go and it comes only out in parts or runny slow poo also i think it helps with the belly pain this slow squatty walk, atleast they look a bit bether after.

maybe dont feed any meat and stay with a bit less food then normaly, also maybe warm water with rolled oat to the food,.....we put in a natural med powder we got for dogs from vet ,when they have those runny poo. and a warm blanket over the dog when he is in bed to help get bether... not sure if this could help, maybe your vet can tell you, for questions like this you normaly dont need to pay anything but the phone^^. can you put there bed or crate in one of your sleeping rooms till bether so you hear bether when they need out?

really great that Atlas feels bether , hope the boys will learn from this and nnot eat so much or non of those belly hurtig things..

i hope they both are up and running without hurting belly in a day

we took pip to the vets (atlas was none-stop crying as we took pip from him) but the vet said as long as he is digesting all of the damson, he should be fine. he's acting normal, parting from the whole digesting everything out. regardless, we got another crate and connected it to there's so if they ever go again in the night, at least they'll have an empty tray to do it on.

@ bungus
poor pip, but great that all looks well stupid wind and damson...
Atlas seems to really be missing pip as it sounds...poor Boy but he got him back
that is a good idea with the second crate
wish your dogs best of luck and you (that they will not eat this again^^) and fast health of belly hurt^^

@ Barnes%Rogers
introucting two dogs....not sure..

same breed and age, an what is there character and temper? male and male or femal and male, or female and female...and both fixed or not? that one need to know...when you try it out one day

with some dogs you can let them meet at a new place the own dog never was bevor, and walk them there and slowly coming closer and walking together...it can take up to some month of this training or only a h, till they walk next to each other and can even play together,...and other you need to meet free in a dog park as they are more calm like this and go on from this point...
some who you know are calm and are nice to all dogs you even could get to meet in the own yard-garden ....
it all goes how well you know your dog, what the dog will do and if you are ready to kick them away from each other or throw buckets of water over them when they fight...
and so on...there are so many ways^^

always go slow and watch for any small sign.
and when unsure, put on both dogs a muzzle...or have both a muzzle with you to put on like when they look nice with each other but play could be to much without....and stop the meeting at a good Moment when all is calm and happy

“I’ve got a bone to pick with you” - Marley to Bruno.

He was more black when she brought him home!
His coat lightened up so much in the time she’s had him it’s amazing!

He has this one spot on his side that looks like a spot I dirt and my aunt hates it because it looks like a spot she could rub/wash off. 😂

Sables change color so much as they grow that I wouldn't be surprised if that dark spot vanished down the line, haha!
His coat will almost certainly darken! It seems like sables usually go from dark to light to dark

I was wondering about something.
When my dad plays with Trump he waves his hands all around Trump's face, and will sometimes fake run towards Trump, making him jump back. And generally play rough.
Is this good for my dog? This is my first and last dog. I want him to be very very well trained.
Aand at the moment Trump is jumping on my chair, I need to take him outside real quick. XD
PS Trump is almost 4 months and is starting to teeth. Oh snap

I think all dogs are different. My first dog is very calm and rarely plays (actually has to do with his medication, but still) whilst my 8 month old puppy loves to play rough and is just finishing teething (so well have to stop letting him gnaw on us). They are both small dogs, the puppy a chihuahua, and he still plays rough and with larger dogs. I had done research however, and found that especially for larger dogs, you may want to train a cue in for the dog to roughhouse?
People have said that when they've fallen over, the dog had expected it to be on-floor roughhousing and would instantly (playfully) attack.
Just make sure the dog is willing in the situation and can leave at any time to rest/drink/etc, and I think you'll and Trump shall be fine.
