Oh my god he looks just like Odin! I wonder if he's just as mischievous

Post by **TerriHolt** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 8:54 pm

he's like a mini (loveable) tornado! everything (clothes, furniture, toilet roll, flesh) is food, torments the life out of the cats and bed time is play time... if i tell him NO! he argues back, pretends to bite me and runs off... then comes back when i'm not looking to get my ankle... usually the right... and how can something so small, pee so much???

we did learn to play fetch this morning

, he loves the rewards (carrots) for fetching the ball back. we learned to sit 2 days ago and we started going to bed ( "go to bed" (stern voice) = his time-out space/dog bed in the living room) a week ago... now if only i could get him to stop eating people

...

pete's a good man and his pups are a credit to him (and lynn i do believe). he was helpfull with the travil sickness advice too... i was just wondering if travil sickness tablets from the vets works?

i'll post more pics soon

They might but as in people they might result in a dog being very tired and not up for anything..
I'm considering using D.A.P spay in stead (i used the collar for my tam the first 3 weeks) - to make the dog relax..

I get what you mean.. I know how it feels from personal experiance.. I've always gotten carsick - even a few times when I've been driving myself

But sometimes its just better getting sick than being sleepy and not up for anything

You could try Sturgeon travel sickness tablets from the Chemist. He would need half a one 2 hours before travel. I have always found these very good.
Adults can have one full tablet 2 hours before travel.

Post by **TerriHolt** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:20 pm

i'll try that too, see which works best for him, thanks

we been to the vets for out last injection and he'll be fully vaccinated from next week (yay... walkies

) it was a bit weird telling my vet about the breed... arn't they supposed to know these things already? lol. it was a good job i have a good memory when it comes to my pets cuz "i dunno" as an answer to every question might have sounded a bit silly lol. i actually amazed my self on how much i remembered

our walk home

still walking home...

yup, still walking home... (walking on the river bank, all pics in the same place lol)

Finally home

I felt the same way telling my vet...like they were thinking I was making up the breed:roll: . She had to look him up online! They had to enter Tamaskan into the database lol it was pretty funny

...hopefully things will change in the near future and more people will recognize the breed!

I know the feeling.. I had to write about 20 emails back and forth with the danish dog registration because she was registered as a mixed breed.. at last I got them to change it though - so oficially she is the first Tamaskan in Denmark

That will probably take a little longer..

I've got a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog, and that breed is recognized in the US by the American Kennel Club and by some other rare breed organisations. There are many more Catahoula's then there are Tamaskan, but I've met just one vet who knew the breed. And I met only 3 or 4 people who recognized my dog as a Catahoula on the street, the most people think I'm making up a breed.

And if people (like some vets) think they know a lot about dogs they can be quite stubborn!

my vet did say she was going to go google

she also said in one of the vet surgery's she works in, someone fetches a pure wolf in on a lead just like any other dog, they are trying to perfect the wolf hybrid or something. i personally didn't think that anywhere close to me would be doing that, not quite sure why i would think such a thing tho

. just made me wish i could be there when it got brought in... i'd love to hug a wolf and still have a face left when i'm done hugging

hears a few pics i salvaged from various photo devices around the house. all the best ones was on my hard drive (that broke after 4 months and dell don't think it's a problem i lost eveything

... small rant over

) and i can't get them back

.

but some better than none

does everyone else's grass look rubbish after winter is finally done with it?

he thinks it's his spot

ignore the hole in the sofa

, it was already there. i thought i might as well get a puppy and get the chewing over with before i buy a new one

. Sam with phoenix... this pic made me happy that i was able to take it

now i will have to get snap happy to make up for the "lost" ones

I like the one with the cat, such a cute puppy. Its horrid when you loose the photos, we lost a few months worth when we were broken into the other week and they took the laptop as we had not backed up recently. At least it is a good excuse to take more.

i'm sorry to hear that julie (sorry if i missed it somewhere, my phone is useless for web browsing). yeah it does suck to lose photos.

Aw he has big giant ears just like Odin! Maybe not as big, but still close! lol.
How much does he weigh now?

Thanks, it was a bit of a shock being woken up by the dogs to discover we had been broken into, but they did not get away with much. The lap top was old and due to be replaced, so apart from the photos it has not been missed, they also took my camera, which was not that old, but I have now got one that is waterproof and can be dropped, so great for taking out with the dogs and family, no more worrying about muddy puddles

I use my phone as well sometimes, great for looking at pictures, but not so good for reading things. I hope you get your computer problems sorted out soon.

sorry, i must have missed this when i was lookin on my phone. i couldn''t even guess... i'm going to get him weighed at 5 month (extortionate consultation fee's at the vets)...

pictures of our walkies today... we are practiceing the "off the leash" thing. when there is no one about, he will come back when called everytime (if he knows i got his liver treats), if there is some one there it about 85%... other dogs... well, he listened till we got about a meter away, then it was 0%

we said hello to some doggies and we went thru a field before trying to go swimming in a dyke

... sorry i'm going on, i'm just happy of the progress we making (only just started practicing

)...

he has already started to grow into his ears... his earlier pics looked like he been photo shopped and had them stretched

i'm not sure exactly because he ate my tape measure

but he's past my knee's

... you actually just reminded me i need to look for one so i can measure him (and make the kids halloween costume)
