Dogs

Her name is nuts she is kinda small idk why we found her in the street she is our guard dog

I love my dog, 6 years old, about 50 lbs. he's sweet and wonderful. But. He insists on going outside 4-5 times a day to go pee because he never goes all the way to empty his bladder. He'll insist on finding a 'good' smelling area and will wet there, quit, and even if there is a block longer on our walk he'll stay full until we get home only to insist on going back out a short while longer.

How do I deal with this? I'm a city apartment dweller and have to put on full winter gear and go outside with him so it's becoming a frustration of mine.

I have a couple of Dalmatians. We do a ton of walking and playing in the backyard.

I feel bad for them this week. I know they are going stir crazy after getting a foot of snow. We don’t mind playing in the snow, but the temperature has been bitterly cold.

How do you exercise your high energy dogs when stuck at home?

"Hey Ghost, Charlie is in your crate."

"Ghost... he's in your..."

"Never mind.... Well I hope you're happy, Charles."

"Don't give me that look, it's not your crate."

We have two. One claims things as he goes, the other is queen of all she surveys. Her property extends to the edge of her senses at all times and shall not be trespassed upon (family and other dog excepted, and only sometimes for the latter).

She does have a train friend she allows to go through her property though. The train is her best friend. She really loves the train. She wags her tail when the train goes through.

Nothing else is allowed.

Obligatory dog pic time.

Here is Queen Ghost not allowing her serf Charlie to get on the bed.
