    Tonight Yogi was proudly showing off the gap that his upper right canine tooth used to occupy. He's as tough as old boots and it'll take more than a pulled tooth to spoil his day.



    Anna revisited the vet for a wound check-up this morning and she's looking good. She may need a couple of stitches mid-week but the vet just wants to make sure that no infection sets in prior to sealing up the wound. I've asked about getting my own chair installed in the waiting room seeing as I spend so much time there.

    Maya has always popped in to sit with the daughter later afternoon while she plays Roblox with her mates. Despite the new zero tolerance on Maya's behaviour I continue to allow this as I think its good integrating time with Lola and also if all of Maya's fun stops maybe she'll get more jealous? I really have no idea on this one but sitting with the daughter, which I allow, isn't bad behaviour in my book.

    I also find it impossible to read Maya's mood. I find the shorter haired dogs easier to read... the expressions on their faces change and also you can see their hackles go up when they're unhappy. But anyway, this scene tonight looked pretty relaxed to me. Lola shuffled up as close to Maya as she dared and then pretended to sleep while looking the other way.



    I could really do with some advice from Cesar Millan. Does anyone know if he's a member at TeakDoor?

    Cesar, if you are I can offer you a free holiday in Isaan, a wonderful part of the world. You can eat all the fish you can catch and I'll even cook you a steak and kidney pie, but you may have to shack up with the gardener.

    I think threatening to feed him your food may have the opposite effect… just saying.

    ^ You may well be right, he hasn't contacted me yet.

    Lola has gone from 4.3kg to 4.7kg in five days which means she's put on nearly 10% of her body weight. At this rate I may have to put her on my diet.

    She fell asleep next to me last night looking a bit like a kangaroo.



    Interestingly enough she seems to have nine nipples. I'm not sure if this means she has an extra one or has one missing?



    The most important thing is, she seems to be making progress with our resident alpha female. I am happy with the way things are going but the potential problem as I see it could be when Lola plays with Coco which may make Maya jealous. Maya likes things on hr own terms.

    So it's baby steps under supervision...

    When he's done in Korat you can send him up here. The gf has two small dogs that she likes to call chihuahua, brothers from the same litter who have lived here for 3 years. They both got cut last year when they started fighting and peeing about the place. Since then things have been calmer.
    I wasn't expecting big problems when we brought Frankie and later Panda home, they are both girls and I thought they'd all find a way to get along. It isn't going as smoothly as I'd hoped. The smaller boy in particular is very jealous and has snidey little nips at the girls sometimes. This might not be a good policy on his part, Panda is only 3 months old but she is taller than him already and putting weight on fast. She is still a gangly puppy, sometimes her 4 legs seem to be doing different things at the same time and she falls over and crashes into things. Once she is more coordinated and twice his size there might be a reckoning.

    Can anyone imagine how dumbstruck Cesar Milan would be with these 2 if he did turn up in Isarn and firstly Mendys place, with all his dogs lounging around, cooling their genitalia off on his outdoor dining table in his wife's lingerie and a Bristol City top with the pack leader sat there on the ground photographing his new puppy's vulva and counting how many nipples she has?
    Then driving away in disgust up the road to some guy who can't control a couple of fukking chihuahua puppies?

    I'd imagine it'd be the old "There's no such thing as bad dogs,fellas, just bad owners" and "whatever you 2 Beta cucks do, never buy a fukking pit bull, for Christ's sake"

    I think this article of Cesar's may help, or not

    Avoiding dog fights

    Dogs in the same pack fight for one reason only: because they do not have a strong pack leader. This is why establishing rules, boundaries, and limitations for the entire pack is important. If all of your dogs are looking to you as a leader, they will not be looking at each other as competition.

    It’s also very important to walk your dogs together, side-by-side. Not only does the exercise help to lower their energy, and hence the impulse to fight, but by moving your dogs forward together it focuses them on a common goal instead of each other.

    Remember: the worst thing you can do if you have dogs that fight is to ignore the problem by isolating them from each other. Socialization is key for a well-balanced dog. What this actually does is create a separate territory for each dog, and fighting over territory is the only natural cause of battles between dog packs. Since the dogs will still be able to smell each other, that conflict will become an obsession. If they ever do wind up together in this situation, then they will fight.

    The key to success is you

    Even the most seemingly balanced dog pack may occasionally have a fight in it. The important thing to remember is that you are in charge and conflict like this is not the end of the world. Break the fight up quickly and calmly, redirect the dog’s attention, take them for a walk together, and don’t worry that it’s going to happen again.

    They may or may not fight again, but if worry over it does not become your obsession, you will not be feeding them negative energy that will lead to another fight. Reward them when they are being calm and submissive, and correct them when they are not. Your dogs would prefer to not fight, and you as the pack leader can help them achieve this goal.
    Stay calm and assertive!

    Cesar could almost be describing me with that little motivational comment.

    I knew that I'd read about how important the walks together are but I just have to wait until Anna gets out of her cone. I have been avoiding segregating the dogs permanently but at night they are separated into two groups for now. That only seems fair on Anna.

    So anyway, my new zero tolerance towards Maya would seem to be the correct approach after all.

    Who needs Cesar anyway? It's his loss... he could have had a nice holiday up here.

    Out of interest and will probably regret this but where is the 9th nipple? I only see 8.

    I do have better things to do, you know.

    Number 9 is the mystery nipple as all the others are in pairs. That middle one is her tummy button, by the way.

    She seems to be missing a nipple on her starboard side.

    ^ I think that could be a trick of the light, there really is nothing there.

    Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted if number 10 develops.

    I don't know why I googled it, but odd numbered nipples are apparently quite common in canines and some dogs can have a hidden nipple on the top of a leg

    ^ why is it pink in the bottle ? I assume the spoons ban was for posing as a child and trying to get the discount.

    Thank God that isn't the case with humans because that could get a bit weird.
