norm

so i go to let norm out a little while ago and the first thing he sees

a skunk :evil:

now i didn't notice at first but then i saw he had caught something...i approached thinking it was a small cat or kitten...nope skunk :evil: :evil:

norm got a full blast and keeps going back not listening to anything i was saying...after his third or forth attempt at corralling said skunk, the idiot finally realized the poison it was emitting and released and began to suffer skunk poison :roll:

well a couple gallons of tomato juice later the smell is tolerable...tomorrow i will go in search of a groomer that is open on sunday july 3rd

Petey's red brother liter-mate died today from DCM, the same genetic heart disease my baby boy has. His owner could use some prayers and good vibes, he is devastated, he never check him for the disease. Achilles was his souldog. I'm sick over the news.

I'm so sorry.
I know it must never be far from your thoughts but it's made me so glad to see Petey doing so well since his diagnosis. It's heartbreaking to know his brother has died. I will remember his owner in my prayers.

norm

so after a few gallons of tomato juice, store bought de-skunker and a trip to the groomers, norm's latest nickname is still 'stinky' :x

He's gonna stink for a loooooong time, esp. when he gets wet...our little pinker dog stepped on a skunk many years ago and got a full blast to the face...we didn't have tomato juice so we used V8 (note to everyone - DO NOT use V8 for this purpose!), which made our condo smell like V8 and skunk...then we heard that in order for tomato juice to be completely effective, you have to let it dry on the dog!! How is that even possible??!

Yeah, so we bought Skunk Off and sprayed her down and got rid of much of the smell....but it sticks with you in your mucus and it's a horrible thick and oily smell, skunk is. Smells nothing at all like dead skunk on the hiway or skunk cabbage.

So, yeah...Norm...gonna smell for awhile, dude! Try not to go out in the rain!

I'm hoping this was a one time thing as JB let it be known Lucy can not do that!
Bad bad girl!

We are all really feeling the loss of short boy....
I guess he ruled the roost and the girls more than we ever knew.

About three weeks after we lost our little Pinker dog, our other two dogs (a boy and a girl) became the most unruly, out of control, monsters! They had no manners and they wrecked all kinds of stuff, chewed the drywall, ate the cat food, and were generally very, very badly behaved. We realized then that the little Pink dog (who we knew ruled the roost) kept the two younger dogs completely under her paw - the were just normal well-behaved dogs when she was around. The doggy dynamic is such a fascinating thing.

So, I think your two pooches need to sort out who the new Alpha is between the two of them. Dog spats sound much worse than they really are...and unless there's blood, they need to figure out what's what. It's not up to us humans to decide who will be alpha...They will both be mourning the loss and get used to the loss in their own time, and probably it won't be at the same time...

Our two mutts were never allowed to sort that out, so now that we have our new dog (Tanner), there's a bit of a problem. We can't get our dogs to assert themselves when Tanner bugs them and when they do snap at each other, we just ignore it.

Charley has actually become a little more aggressive in general...and Remy, she delights in "tattling" on the boys if she thinks one of them is doing something they shouldn't be (such as unstuffing a toy or chewing on a shoe or trying to sneak into the garbage)...she'll come and whine and pace at us until we check what's going on. I don't think the boys like it!!

I really do hope your two sort it out...dog loss is hard on everyone in the family...

Here's the solution to all this.. the HUMAN should be Alpha period.. when we lead, there is no major changes in dynamics unless WE die or leave the picture.. makes things much smoother, much easier and the dogs are altogether much happier this way.

I finally get to post in this thread! My hubby got me a dog for my birthday - he's a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix and a year old. We got him from a family that had two dogs and just couldn't take care of them both so they gave him to us! We love him dearly! This is my first dog so I appreciate any tips!
