  1. That's good that things are looking normal, but I agree it must be frustrating not to know exactly what is wrong so you can correct it for him.

     

    I know how much you love him, and he's such a sweet little guy (except for the time he threw up in my lap :lol) and I'm hoping he gets better soon.

  2. Wow KF, spiral stairs, I'm impressed! One house I looked at had them and I was almost scared myself to go up. No way for the dogs I think - they were hardly as wide as my shoulders, so narrow my foot didn't fit on the steps, and so steep I held on with both hands! The house was old and my opinion is that this was originally just a shaft and they put the staircase in it to have one indoors instead of having just the outdoor staircase.

     

    I feel MUCH better now thanks to all of you!

  3. Y'all have made me feel much better, thanks! These are private indoor stairs and they're solid granite and I'm worried about them being slippery. (DH looked at it last month and when he mentioned dogs the landlord told him no, sorry). I called DH after I left and he said he could figure out some way of putting down temporary carpeting if we needed. He really wants this place now that the landlord has changed his mind about the dogs. I have turned away from SO many places because of stairs you can't even imagine!

     

    When I come back to Texas in March I can find a friend with stairs to help start the training process, and a friend here has 2 yorkies that can help when I get back with the showing how to use stairs. That's an idea I never thought of.

  4. I'm having the HARDEST time finding a place that will allow dogs here in Malta. I looked this morning at a first floor maisonette that is really nice in a good location, but it has STAIRS. (My dogs have never seen stairs that I know of).

     

    I have option on a ground floor maisonette in an isolated village that is not near as nice or dog friendly, and is more expensive, but it IS ground floor so no stairs. Which is the ONLY reason we're considering it.

     

    I'm just wondering how hard it will be to teach them to use the stairs? Am I worrying about nothing?

  5. Hi! I'm in Lake Jackson (well, until next week that is then I'll be in Malta). We have 2 - one from GGP and one from GPA. With the help of people on this board we've had no major problems to speak of, and have met a few good friends.

    No advice on rats, but we do have prairie dogs and birds. We had to move the prairie dogs out into the sun room because of safety factors but now I believe they would be ok inside. It was just at first things were iffy. I'd never let them run loose together but the dogs ignore them in the cages now.

    Good luck with meeting your new friend!

  6. O wow! He was born there?! I've always been told they didn't breed in captivity so we always had ours neutered. The last one we got was during the monkey pox ban and the lady at the pet store sold him to me for 1/2 price just to get him out of her store. We've lost one to cancer and 2 to old age so far, and 2 others are getting very old now so I'm kind of sad when I think about it...

  7. You have been on my mind so much the past few days and I'm crying again for you now. I'm SO, SO glad I got to meet Cowboy's twin Bea and she was the perfect house guest, even with all our distractions of small animals...We love you all, and I'm here whenever you're ready I hope you know.

  8. I guess this topic will work for WOODIE WAGGIN' too!! He received and OPENED the gifts from Cowboy, WoodY and "cyndi" (didn't we get Secret Santa gifts from you last year too???) today!!

     

    I think you're right, how funny! I'm glad everything was ok because we were kinda worried, he seems like our Woody - not liking many toys - so we took ours to Petco and watched what he picked out and bought that for your Woodie hoping it would work. OUR Woody will eat everything in sight though.....he's not picky that way!

     

    I can't remember if we duplicated anything or not?
