Dogs are great companions and helpers. My wife (and I also) believes they are angels sent to look out for us crazy humans.
Nice to see Greg.

Nice water bowl for the pup! B
Thanks fellas. He's doing better than I am. For ten days I've slept on an air mattress next to his 42" diameter indoor pen in case he needs to go out or has an issue. He's so used to going in and out the doggie door on his own that it's been an adjustment for all of us. He's so attached, or is it me, that he won't sleep in a room by himself w/o raising hell. Five more weeks of not going out or up and down steps on his own unleashed. I don't know. Any ideas on how to keep a cattle dog calm w/o the use of Ketamine?

Happy to hear the great progress Greg. As DD said he looks happy. That is a big doggie smile.

Greetings Bama:
Whew..thats a tough one. I would not hesitate to ask the Vet if there was some sort of prescription calming med. Like Xanax for humans to just take the edge off things, especially at night. You prob already checked though. I believe dogs have innately more “sense” than humans when it comes to “overdoing it”. We worry about it, they just know they can’t. If you have a room or area that you could dedicate as a recovery room, you could make it “yours and his”. It might eliminate distraction and be calming as well. All the better if it has a couch for you and a tv of course. Man/dog cave.
Good luck. Be well. Bowen

When I was a kid I had a great-uncle by marriage who had 3-4 Beagles that barked all the time. Come of a evening he would pour them each a saucer of beer to quiet them down for the night. Worked!
Good thinking! Bodie likes beer.

Yeah, but pretty soon he'll be asking for a cigar and could you please be quiet he's trying to watch The Game.

And I thought we trained our dogs to be retrievers. I have learned so much.
Funny thing is, he's more particular than I am. PBR is fine for me but he prefers a craft beer. Dark, if available.

Smart dog...it only costs a little more to go first class!
Yeah, but you ain't buying his beer.

About 20 years ago we had a Cairn Terrier. One night he got into a glass of single malt we had sitting on the coffee table. My wife told the vet about it later and he remarked "Oh man, you should have brought him in, I would have pumped his stomach" My wife asked if it was that bad for the dog. The vet said "Heck no, not for the dog, to get the Scotch!".

Beautiful dog Skeet. Where are you in Essex? My wife has family in the Rockport/Gloucester area.
