Mara, first few days we had him, i leash walked him at 4am for bathroom breaks. A rabbit darts out

Posted by kelly (aka kelly) Jan 10 '09, 10:15

of the fenceline right in front of us...he just looks up at me, "Did you see that thing?! It was fast." Never moved.

Kelly took him to PetCo for a cleaning today, a Bernese Mountain Dog, about 2x his size was exploring, she said Murphy was perfectly fine.

I really don't know what rattles this dog in any manner other than the medicinal powder that's odorless, tasteless and burnless that we have to put on his legs when he's biting/licking.

He doesn't even hate the powder - he hates the powder *bottle*. That tiny thing freaks him out. - kelly Jan 10, 10:22 8
- my brother's dog is skittish - afraid of noises, vacuums, some children, cameras (yes camera). Yet, tried to attack some non-dog animals - ty97 Jan 10, 10:34 1
  - liz is still fairly skittish, but she's improved greatly. i learned to just pretend like nothing's happening and not comfort her when she's freaked - kare Jan 10, 11:45
- So he's not having potty accidents inthe house any more? *fingers crossed* -- nm - mara Jan 10, 10:25 5
  - Oh no, not since the first few weeks. - kelly Jan 10, 10:26 4
    - Good! Once that's solved, and the actual health issues, everything just keeps getting better, doesn't it? -- nm - mara Jan 10, 10:30 3
      - Oh yeah. We lucked out. - kelly Jan 10, 10:39 2
        
        Murphy got lucky too. :-) -- nm - mara Jan 10, 10:43 1
        
        seriously, so many people give up the first couple of weeks. it can be harder to adjust and bond than many expect. so it's really a nice happy ending - kare Jan 10, 11:48
What a sweetie. -- nm - mara Jan 10, 10:19
