She would also require post goal pats and mindfulness I recon. A real neurotic princess

Definitely needs to come to Tigerland, we embrace vulnerability.
I have a 4 yr old white and red Staffy called Saffron. She is very switched on. Friendly to dog and person alike but is able determine if something is a real threat. Highly obedient, toilet trained, only chews on her own toys and hangs out with you if you are sad or ill. Awesome pet!!

As posted in the other thread, my guy, cooper the corgi/lab X rescue dog. Here he is doing some weird couch yoga. And they say dogs can't look up
View attachment 12867Looks like a nice amp too antman. Maybe we need to start a thread
Had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy today. 15 wonderful years. RIP mate.
Bit of an update on my little Billy. He’s still going reasonably well. His eyesight is pretty much shot. We’ve had to block the stairs off coz he’s had a couple of falls and is a stubborn little bugger. He knocks into walls a bit. He won’t walk outside when the sun is out because the sunlight goes right through him (he thinks something is coming at great speed to hit him and he shivers).
He goes mainly by smell now. I have to carry him to the toilet more often than not (especially when its dark). Going to the footy is gonna be problematic this year because I don’t like leaving him on his own for too long (especially at night where he has a set routine). He gets really clingy when we've been out for 4-5 hours.
But he still seems happy. I reckon he was depressed about losing his eyesight, but I reckon he has come to terms with it now. My biggest issue now is trying to find him some mental stimulation. From time to time he does some weird stuff and I feel I need to do more to keep his mind active.
How do you keep an old, almost blind dog that doesn’t walk much mentally stimulated? I’m open to suggestions…
I use mine all the time. Peanuts and cashews. Sometimes cheezels.
Yes. used to do it for all meals, then stopped when we changed his diet... Vet recommended we combine mince meat to his regular food as it will make him drink more.
