Thundershirt!

For those of you who know Dax, he's a bit, shall we say....excitable! As we will be moving house in a few weeks, we thought we'd try a 'thundershirt' to help with the transition. A thundershirt is "The best solution for Dog Anxiety". It's recommended uses are for: fear of thunder(check), separation anxiety(check), barking problems (check), noise anxiety (check), car or travel anxiety (check), crate anxiety (double check), reactivity (check), general fearfullness (check - especially to skateboards and cyclists NOT wearing helmets), excitability (check), leash pulling (check). Hmmm! Dax checks all behaviours!

 He was pretty pissed when it first went on!
 And when he couldn't 'shake' it off, he took off upstairs and I went to check that he wasn't trying to chew it off and found him sulking on the bed!
He followed me back downstairs, and decided to forgive me and have a cuddle. Next thing I knew, he'd crashed! I guess it's having a 'calming' affect! Between that and Doggy Yoga, we may have the calmest dog on the street!

Downward Dawg!



Here is Dax demonstrating how to get into the Downward Dawg position - for his new Doggy Yoga book! Ha ha!Yoga!

Happy Anniversary!

Dax says "Happy Anniversary to my Mum & Dad!"

Dax's First Day!

This is a photo of Dax and Abby when we brought him home! He was so little! Within the hour, Abby gave me the look "can we take him back now?" Hee hee!

Poser! Dax thinks he's a model!


Michelle, Dax's dog walker (and one of his favourite humans), captured these shots of Dax posing! I think he's hoping GQ are going to call! haha!

While you were out!

Ha ha! While Dax was out the back chasing away the squirrels from our back patio, Abby snuck onto one of the dog beds! Yay!

Some of Dax's favourite things!

The orange rubber ball

Dax's new obsession is this frisbee! He makes sure no other dog comes close when he's chasing after it!
Thanks to Michelle, our awesome dog walker, for the pic's!
