Looks like I have a roadie in the house.
Dart digs a couple different sizes of those that we have as well as the one that's a bigger version that's made out of hard plastic with a weighted bottom and just one hole on the sideAlso, for clarification, the thing we have is this one:
I typically throw the frisbee with the dog everyday when I get home. I had an out of town gig last night, and went straight from work to the bar so we didn’t get to do our thing. When the wife got home, she couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the dog. She growls when she is excited, not an aggressive thing at all. Talking about the dog not the wife. Anyway doggo kept growling and going to the door. It took a few minutes to figure out what was up, but they got it. At this point, I don’t know if I have the dog trained or she has us trained.
cool pics. That first one could almost be PNW. Has Dart Bubba begun to sit on the porch next to the rocking chair yet patirntly waiting for you to drop some misplaced Carolina BBQ ?Here's an image dump of some recent pics of the pooch out on daily walks in our new hood. He is 100% in his element; already has a twang to his voice and is considering changing his name to Bubba
it IS kinda PNW-ish; lots of conifers (pines rather than cedars and firs, but still) and similar topsoil/general undergrowth feel in the woods - just flatter and waaaaaay hotter/more humid.cool pics.

Not the best of angles or lighting but in Mrs JBJs words: "it's the first non shit tattoo you've come home with."

Poor Kira.
Here's hoping she's on the mend.
Yesterday was Kiira's birthday according to her passport.
We spent Saturday visiting dogparks with her, then Sunday we had a good walk in the forest. For Monday the weather forecast was shit, so we had a bunch of stuff to have a nice day at home.
It was not meant to be. She woke us up at 6:30 and puked. No biggie, dogs sometimes puke. She hardly ever pukes, so not really worrying. After the morning walk she got breakfast, went back to bed. Then at 12 came out and puked again and continued properly emptying her stomach. We called the vet, they told us just give her little bits of food every hour or two, and make sure she drinks enough, but nothing immediately worrying, they kept a slot open for us right before closing time in case the situation worsened and asked us to call 2 hours in advance whether we needed it or not. Took her for a walk, all good, poop completely normal, she seemed a bit stressy about stuff she would normally ignore, but that's not weird after emptying your stomach. After that she wanted to play like normal etc, and no more issues. We call the vet 2 hours before the appointment that, thanks, but she seems ok now. Of course at the time her appointment would be, she empties her entire stomach again We call the emergency small animal hospital for advice, and they tell us to keep a close eye on her, no more food, and just make sure she drinks and monitor very closely if she keeps the water in, if not, drop by immediately. An hour later she starts puking all the water we gave her, so off to the emergency vet it is...
Since she still wanted to eat and drink, but just couldn't keep it in, they didn't think it was the best idea to go for night-time adventures with anesthetics, x-rays and whatnot, cause it would be very heavy on everyone involved (and our wallet) and apart from not being able to keep in water, they didn't see any immediate danger. So in the end she got some super soft food there, and a puke-suppressing injection(can't remember the proper name, it was 1am at that point ). She hasn't puked (yet), but wasn't really herself this morning. Slept a lot, did want to play, but not nearly as enthousiastic as she normally does. Over the course of the day she's been slowly getting better though, so we have hope that after the medicine works out tonight we don't have to go back.
So much for her birthday But at least the date in the passport is just a guestimation, so we can just designate another day in August to be her birthday
Whenever my dogs have got the runs or pukeing I try to limit food and not even feed for a day. Then just plain rice (jasmine works fine) and then gradually add some plain chicken for a couple meals. Pumpkin is also good. They sell powdered stuff or if you decide to get at a grocery store (probably not readily available over there anyway) just make sure it's pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling with sugar. Dogs and sugar don't mix.
