Bigby's New Home

So, we adopted a doggie from the county shelter - yesterday. Bigby, a 22 month Cavalier King Charles spaniel mixed with something else (he just looks to me like a large version of that breed). Here's the whole story ( Read more... )

If this is remedial let me know, but here's how you teach a dog to fetch and "play" with toys if they've never been taught ( ... )

Oh as a followup, the toys that you play fetch with the most will smell like you. That alone will help allevie the lonliness if the dog has something that smells like his "pack" around him, even if no one else is. So that's a bonus as well.

He has no problems at all playing fetch, tug of war, going for a run outside (I'm not so good at that part). It's when I'm watching tv and he's just sitting there. To me it looks bored and I don't want him to be bored.

But yeah, I saw a toy that lets you put something like a sock inside it. Something that smells like you a lot so they can "play with you" while you're gone.

BTW, when are you going to get on Facebook?
