  9. Hi everyone! I have searched the topics here, but am still a little baffled at what I can do. Moon will walk fine if we are going where she wants to go. If at any point (and this always varies) she decides she doesnt want to keep going, or go the way we are going, she plants her feet. We have an easy walk harness on her that the leash attaches to at the front of her chest. She will plant feet whether she is harnessed or just with her martingale collar, so its not that. We try to coax her, try stopping and waiting, try leaning against her and moving her in a circle, try with treats. I have tried walkin her with both Hattie and my shepard Tista whom she adores. That doesn't help. With the harness when we try to go forward she tip toe walks as it tugs on her and tries to plant her feet even more. We try varying the walk, going different places. I am just not sure what I can do to get over this.
  10. Oh , this is too close to home. My Macho was 5. If you need anything- even to vent or just to have someone listen- i am here. Sending you all my strength and prayers and anything else you need. Smoochies to Cooper.
  11. Sending positive thoughts and strength to Mazy's family. May Mazy peacefully reach the rainbow bridge.
  12. When it was Macho's time, we did in-homoe euthanaisia. It was originally more for his comfort level - so we wouldn't have to get him into the car, and then to the cold vet office, and let him be where he is comfortable. It was also selfishly for us because we knew neither one of us could drive there or back. We'd be a wreck. So would anyone we would trust to drive us. Our Shepard was the only other dog we had at the time, along with the cat. They both were in the room through the process, and I know without a doubt they respectfully helped see Macho to the Rainbow Bridge and say their own goodbyes.
  13. You said it with the words you used. I am so sorry.
  14. sending more positive vibes and healing thoughts. That was so sweet of Ace
  15. Im so very sorry. Run free sweet Teddy. New adventures are ahead of you.
  16. im so sorry. Thank you for taking him in and loving him.
  17. Thanks everyone! Hattie is indeed super crazy no matter how long the timeframe in the crate! So, based on the layout of our house to yard, I can't just get her from crate to backyard. What I have started to do is have her leash and harness ready to go with Moon's, and just sitting there. When she has calmed down IN the crate, I let her out and don't make a big deal. I let her run and go crazy in the tiny house for a few minutes until her energy level calms. Then I pick up the leash & harness, and wait again for her to calm down so I can get it on her. THEN we go out to the backyard and go crazy with toys! She is so different from Moon, and Macho, it's so interesting and fun and challenging at the same time!
