Thanks Y'all for the insight and great advice - - - this is seriously the best group ever - such caring people!
I am going to try to get the big guy settled and comfortable...
. he is happy at the house but his anxiousness is driving my roommate a little crazy... mind you she has three chihuahuas and a lab, in addition to her sister's daschund and cat... so she's already crazyÂ
Anyhow - I love the big guy - esp. when we watch t.v. curled-up together in HIS favorite chair - and all 70-pounds of him falls sound asleep in my lap.... with his head resting under my chin. It is the sweetest thing ever... and quite a sight to see.
So, I am going to implement y'all's insightful suggestions today.... after trips to the grocery and pet store.
Also - when I picked Riley up from the vet after work.... the vet said he wanted us to feed the big guy a bland dry dog food..... lamb and rice or chicken and rice....Â
Any brand suggestions?
I am going to feed him chicken and rice while giving him the 7 days worth of medicine prescribed by the vet.... but then I would like to re-introduce a dry food after that to keep his pearly whites sparkling.
Thanks again for your help - y'all are the greatest!
