Eating issues in an older BC, need some advice.
maeflower replied to BC-Liz's topic in General Border Collie Discussion
So sorry for your loss of your precious girl. -
Thank you all! He is such a fun boy and learning so fast!

Where we live we don't get much snow but today was a surprise. We got about 2 1/2" and Rylie got his first "taste" of snow! He had a ball running and playing in it.

Crazy Border Collie obsessions
maeflower replied to aschlemm's topic in General Border Collie Discussion
Well after reading through everyone's dogs' obsessions, I can almost say "All of the Above" about Rylie! Probably his strongest obsession though is TUG! Anything! If he has something in his mouth and I have part of it in my hand, he will tug! He never gets enough. Talking about the mirrors and reflections, we just had new windows installed and for the time being, have no blinds or curtains up in most of them and the furniture is not in front. Well at night when the lights are on, he barks at our reflections in them when we move around. I guess he's protecting us from those strangers!! -

Zoomies / Witching hour, and daily schedule.

I love it!! Rylie not only got an improperly installed off button but he didn't even get the button! So that explains it! -

My last golden retriever Annie was always somewhat uninterested in eating but when she was about 14 she just didn't seem to enjoy much of anything especially eating. Well I switched my picky eater cats to Nomnomnow (cat recipe) and they loved it so I decided to try it with Annie and Jesse our BC. Wow Annie got so excited about eating again! Actually bounced around the kitchen for her meals and she had NEVER done that. Ever since then, that's all I feed. Rylie is now the "kitchen dancer" as Annie is no longer with us but she made it to 16. Rylie's favorite choice of the four recipe options is t -
That's a mystery!! With Rylie we have begun to tackle it and it's going very well surprisingly. He loves the toothpaste and sees it as a treat. (Arm & Hammer Tarter Control Beef Flavor) I have the finger brushes as well as a toothbrush style similar to a regular toothbrush and with the paste on it, he licks at it and while he's doing that I can brush the front and backs sides. Haven't quite figured out yet how to easily get to the insides though and it is very hit and miss at this point. I figure if I keep at it though he will eventually pay no mind to the brushing and just enjoy the past

Destructive BC Rips carpet up while out at work.
maeflower replied to ewedlake's topic in General Border Collie Discussion
If available and financially possible at least a few days a week, a doggy daycare, otherwise a crate with maybe a small x-pen attached in an area with no carpet? -

Glad you're getting things under control. It took a few times for us to figure out the zoomies meant bedtime. We have since learned to read Rylie like a book!! Your puppy is gorgeous and the dot on his head reminds me of my first and dearest border collie Fleck. I'll miss him til the day I die but my heart is full of memories and love for the others I have had and have now. -
Well it just had me stumped! lol Rylie gets probiotics too but his are a white powder.
