haha, sorry had to laugh at that one. I think children and animals are put on earth just to embarass us humans.

And I won't mention the occasion when my 16 kg BSD ran full pelt into the end of her long lead. I was standing on gravel and did a slapstick fall... all in front of an audience!
That must have been so embarassing
excuse me for laughing
Got the muzzle yesterday and it doesn't fit. I had checked the size chart carefully and Lana's halti is a size 1 so expected this to fit. Found out our vets sell them so I can get one there.
I took Lana to the vets on Thursday as she hasn't been herself for a couple of weeks. I had been going to take her before but there was nothing to tell the vet except, she's not herself
Anyway she checked her out thoroughly, and I explained about her going for the other dogs. She's late for her season so the vet wondered if she'd had a dry season and was having a phantom pregnancy, her teats are really big but I'm pretty sure they've always been like that as I was surprised when I got her. She said the vulva is a bit swollen, maybe she is coming into season and to wait a couple of weeks and see how she is.
I've been walking Lana round the streets, avoiding people and dogs although I did let her off the lead at the park yesterday to play with her ball when there were no dogs there. My son was round Thursday and yesterday, Lana greets him like she's never seen a soul for a few years although even when living here she very rarely saw him. We saw him again last night while we were out for a walk. This morning Lana appears back to normal, it's like a great weight has been lifted off her and the nervousness seems to have disappeared also.
We did play with the ball in the park today but as soon as I spotted another dog I put her back on her lead. One of the dogs came running across to Lana. I was a bit wary but Lana pranced around in front of it play bowing, tail wagging like mad but not too near, I didn't allow that, and the dog went away without coming right up to her face, but Lana only showed friendliness. Not that I think I can trust her with all dogs but it was good to see.
The vet told me they have a behaviourist at the vets so that's really good to know, so I'll phone and make an appointment and see what they say.
I'll see how she is the rest of the weekend. Now that I know the vets have the baskerville muzzles I can go in and get one from there and make sure it's a good fit. I will have to learn how to get her to accept it though as she did everything to avoid me placing it on her face to try it out.
She christened the new carpet yesterday, she brought up bile, 3 lots on my new carpet. How dare she
