Your post is a little vague.  Is s/he a picky eater?  Does s/he have dietary issues?  What is a weetabix? 

I don't know what to do for a picky eater since Nola will eat anything.  Most recently, he was pulling gum off the ground when we were in the beer garden.  Yep, Nola's the equivalent of a rocket scientist of the dog world (tee hee).

Isn't that sweet?

Nola loves to lay in front of the refrigerator.  I feel so bad when I make him move - especially the 8-10 times I need to get in there while making dinner.  Maybe I should get the french door type so he will not need to get up. 

He also like to lay in front of the bathroom sink.  I love having to stand over/around him while flossing.

I agree that she should still be crated.  Or, you may want to think about restricting which rooms she can access.

Nola, who is now 16 months, has always been crated when we are out of the house.  Just recently - like starting this past Monday - we have been giving him access to the kitchen, hallway and bathroom but only for a few hours at a time.  My thought is there is very little that he can destroy in those rooms.  He may have run of the house one day but not until he has proven he's not destructive when out.

Good luck.

Kristi, We cannot thank you enough for introducing us to Million Dollar Legs! 

A little background for everyone - We met up with Kristi and her family on Saturday at Montrose Dog Beach then went to lunch (Nola was being a psycho bone-head so he was sent home).  Kristi ordered a drink called Million Dollar Legs which is just about the most refreshing cocktail ever! 

Kristi, It was great meeting you and your family.  We all had such a blast at lunch and during our shopping expedition.  Let Gabby know that her drawing is on the fridge as promised.

We had to stop on the way home for the drink ingredients and proceeded to have too many on Saturday evening. 

Shoot, we cannot do later in the day because of other plans.  We still plan to be there at 10 AM-ish (I am part Irish so we might be a little late). 

How about trying a sunset mid-week gathering with those who cannot make it Saturday morning?

She is just the sweetest looking pup.  Congratulation s.  I hope you were all caught up on your sleep....

I am so sorry.  You are in my thoughts.

Sorry to highjack the thread...

Softhug, I did a quick read of the article but it didn't mention anything about giant breeds.  Did the message board also pertain to giant breeds?  What did your breeder say regarding neutering Boudreaux?  I am truly curious because everything I have read regarding giants always talks about waiting until the pup is older.  I know that even now at 15 months Nola is continuing to grow both taller and wider so the bone growth is not complete. 

Nola, though he does have a girlie name, is in fact a boy.  He is 15 months and intact but I haven't noticed him being ragingly hormonal.  A moron, yes, it's the norm, but there has been no change to his temperment.  The only drawback we have found so far is we are unable to kennel him because kennels do not accept intact dogs.
