Hi Andelann,
this little guy is not in the pound or under their care. He is under the care of Dogs in Distress and with us. If you are interested in adopting him or any other dog, please fill out an adoption form under forms and downloads on the main page and someone will get in touch with you.Today went well and Benny (Elijah) did a lot of sleeping and just lounging around. Took him out several times today to do his business but nothing happened, I began to worry but then took off his collar and hey presto !!! He cant balance properly when the collar is on and he lifts his leg, oh he just cracks me up the wee pet
So its off with the collar, on with the lead so he doesnt start to check himself out and off out in the garden.
I have to admit to becoming very fond of this little chap which I promised myself I wouldnt !! But alas he is stealing my heart as the love and affection he gives you in return for a cuddle is amazing. That a dog that seems to have been through so much can give so much. I guess us humans have a lot to learn from some of these dogs.
He eats like a thunderbolt like he will never get another piece of food and seems to like everything. Like Ash said to me about one of her dogs, he seems to just "hoover" up food , its so funny to watch. Then lashes into the water for ages. Yesterday I filled up the bowl and he just didnt either see it was full or just went too quickly and ducked his little face right in the water , it was hillarious as he looked up all confused !!!
Tonight he sat and watched Gerry eating his chicken, sat about 1 foot away and just starred. This is after he had guzzled down his own feed. No problem feeding this little guy.All quiet now and sleeping.
Hi
It was a lovely quiet night, little Benny as he is being called slept like a baby with not a sound out of him. this morning he was in the armchair stretched out and snoring Ate his food like there was never going to be any more and I put the ointment in his eyes, went out for a wee and then came up and slept on my bed for 2 hours !!! He is such a cuddely fella, just loves you to pet him and I think he would be quite happy to do that for hours and hours. A proper little lap dog.
He is trusting us more and not so fearful when approached. I am not sure if this is his vision or just fear than made him cower. but much improved today. Which would make you wonder what sort of life he had before he came to the pound poor little guy. Himself and abby are more or less just leaving each other alone. If this is not because he is quiet because of medication it would be wonderfu. Two happy doggies
I took his out the back with abby and abby raced around after her toys and things and he just sat watching, he has no idea what to do.He isnt too bothered with the collar and just seems a bit uncomfortable every now and then and gives a big big sigh !!
Stitches all look fine and healthy. So hopefully he will heal quickly.He is on the floor right now giving out to me cos he is there and not on my lap the little monkey. Hopefully there will be a home out there where he can be loved and cuddled and be a happy chap forever
[/url:15ivubxt”>Feeling sad
[/url:15ivubxt”>I think I will hide in Abby’s bed
[/url:15ivubxt”>Feeling better, any grub for me
This little guy went off to be neutered today and came home at about 6.30 feeling very sad and sorry for himself. He settled in to sleep for a while on his bed, then on the chair, then in Abby’s bed, little monkey
At about 8.30 he was looking for food so I gave him some mashed potato which he absolutely devoured. I never saw a dog eat so fast in my life. He raised his head when finished with a lump of potato on his nose, he looked so funny !!!
He was very good for the night and only went near abby once and she told him off seriously. He backed off for the first time, so thats a good sign. Maybe he is beginning to understand a little . He slept most of the evening while we watched a movie just moving every now and then to get comfy. Left him at about 12. and he just fell asleep and not a sound since.
The vet said all went well. He is to go back up on sat for a quick check up and then stitches out in 10 days. He is not too happy with his collar but didnt go at it too much.
This little guy certainly does grow on you and is very affectionate and loves his cuddles.
Hopefully there is someone out there who would love a little pal to cuddle and mind as he just loves company.Well this little guy has gone off to be neutered this morning. he ran up the stairs first thing when Gerry went down and looked up at me in the bed wagging his tail and being so small he could not get up. I picked him up and he just snuggled in beside me and started to snore !!!!
He slept all night without any barking, was stretched out on the armchair this morning all cosy. A few little wee’s but went out and did both business immediately.
He is a funny little guy, so loves to be cuddled but is not sure how to play or socialise with Abby at all, just doesnt know how to play with her or with toys, poor little guy. She gave him every toy she had yesterday but he didnt know what to do with "giraffe, hippo,squeaky ball", or even a tiny Elijah size rubber ring she found. She is being so good with him.
I will post later when the little terror gets back from the vet
hi,
Well this little guy had a good first night. A few barks during the night but he stopped quickly. Went down this morning at about 8.30 and there he was sitting in the armchair looking very comfy
A couple of little wee’s but it was his first night. Him and Abby had a few rounds of the garden and then back to rest a bit. I went upstairs to shower and left them . Abby had come upstairs for a little sleep and Elijah was downstairs.
I came out of the shower and this little rascal face came in to greet me waggin his little tail in circles !!! He is so funny as last night he just sat at the end of the stairs every time Abby headed up to escape from him.
So now he is here, fast asleep and cosy. He ate a bit of food this morning but not much so will give him a little more at lunch time. The drops in the eyes were no problem, doesnt mind that at all.Tried to do the photobucket thing but failed despite the telephone assistance of Ash, will try again in a bit when I have given this little guy a brush and played with the two terrors for a while. He is really not sure what to do with toys as Abby brought him all her favourites last night and he just looked at them.. Im sure he will catch on, sure if not no harm.
he is grand Niamh and Abby is more relaxed with him today, but still runs off when he tries to hump her the little brat. So all doing good so far , thankfully.
Well this little rascal came to stay with us tonight. He is a funny little guy and as Niamh said quite unsure about things, dogs an humans. Himself an Abby tore around the garden like mad things, no mad aggression from either. Abby not impressed when this wee boy tried to hump her and continued to do so all night. A quick sharp NO and he stops but persists and persists. Thought abby is not impressed with this interest she does want to play and he seems up for it. He will be neutered on Wednesday so hopefully this will quieten him down a bit in that area
he tends to cower away a little when you put your hand to him to touch him at all, but on the other hand as niamh says, loves his cuddles. He can be a bit growly but Im sure thats fear rather than anything else. He just needs to know that its ok and nobody is going to do him any harm.
Abby sleeps up with us and then usually goes downstairs in the night, so to avoid any conflict or night time games she is up here and he is asleep on his bed downstairs. He is there for about an hour now and has barked a few times but only because there was barking from outside. It soon stopped so hopefully he will settle for the night.So sad to see another Shihtzu in such a bad state in only a couple of weeks. He looks so smart now all groomed and clean. Hopefully his eyes will improve and this little guy will learn what a loving caring home is. Get well Elijah
So lovely to see Hope looking so well with her babies. Little bundles of cuddles every one of them . Cant wait to see updates on these girls as they grow up and start rambling around
Poor little dewey looks so much better all clean and clipped, such a lovely little guy.I imagine he is just so much more comfortable now. Thankfully he has ended up in a place where he is now getting the care and attention he so well deserves. Looking forward to seeing updates on this little chap. As already said, Im sure there will be a queue for this little guy. The future looks bright for little Dewey.
Ah the little guy is so warm and happy looking there with the teddies and all cosy in the blankets. He is so handsome
Just look at the size of little Twiglet compared to the cat !! Is that a very big cat or just a very very small Twiglet.
He is just sooo cute. Socks seems a perfect fit to keep him warm.
