Confined dogs are a pain in the bum

[Suzanne H]

Otto has been confined to barracks for 3 weeks - puncture wound to the leg that needed stitches and a cut paw thanks to neds!

The vet is naming their new extension after him - he's paid for it!

He's just wandering round the house like a coiled spring misbehaving, fighting, pretending to be deaf, nicking sweets, chewing oven gloves

Normally he's an angel - no exercise, no good! He can be released into the wild again at the weekend thankfully. He's been getting on the lead walks, but alas, that's the equivalent of a rice cake to a starving man if you're Otto.

Join the club!!!!

Poor otto, hope his leg heals well. Alfies still limited to 3 ten min walks a day and in the house he's not allowed to run around so he's on lead in house to stop him jumping! It's a nightmare. Think he has cabin fever, can't wait til can get him back running around. Only another 2 and a half months to go!!!

The puncture wound was a a jaggy bush I think, and the cut paw was glass on the ground. Fingers crossed neither of them has been attacked (well except by each other) - they're too fast.

the big man is now out and about - we took them to Dunbar beach and they literally ran for an hour solid and apart from the odd jellyfish, it's a danger free zone.

They are just a breed that is either all on or all off...no half measures which is why they get many a cut and a graze. But you only get the off bit if you give them the on bit
