@pony4us I’m so sorry about your dog. That must have been devastating and traumatic on so many levels.

We are going to be walking in the “other direction” for a while now, where there’s no foot traffic. No yard. We live in a very urban area, zero lot line homes with a pocket park in front.

I talked to the vet last year about putting him tranquilizers but the vet said he wasn’t a candidate. We came home and had a long talk about his behavior and if it continued we’d put him to sleep rather than put him back in the shelter, where he was miserable (we went back to visit for a training class. He knew where he was and he lost his mind. I guess he thought I was turning him back in again).

He’s very very intelligent, and seemed to understand my distress, and has been golden since then, til in the past week.

He’s had tummy troubles from both ends for the past week. and I’m thinking he’s not feeling well.

Anyway, sorry for the off topic wander.

Didn't mean to horn in since I'm not on this group...but didn't want you to get in yourself in a devastating (and potentially very very expensive) situation.
