My yellow lab does that he will fart and scare himself, looks behind him to see what came out!!! Too funny. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Go Jesse Go Jesse!!! So happy to hear your on the road to a full recovery!!

SHOCK COLLAR?? NO!! Keep working on the SHHHHHHHH!! Use the shock collar on the neighbor!!

Your not a bad doggie Mommy, or you wouldn't care if went out or didn't. He will come around, something must have spooked him when it was just you and him, I agree with the others, don't make a big deal about it he can probably sense your anquish....

thanks for taking the time to read my post. Scrappy never had seizures but the withdrawals from the medication was like he was taking them. I am in no way giving him anymore of that stuff! My husband suggested that we lock him out of our room, but I told him I was afraid he would just destroy another room. He just had a complete physical, bloodwork and all was normal, and I love my vet and have 100% confidence in him. It was his assistant who I refused to go to that neglected to tell me to wean him off the medication, she didn't feel he was on it long enough to develop withdrawal symptoms. When it thunders and lightning he will try to burrow under anything he can, under the bed, under a blanket, he has always done that. Even fireworks do that to him. He is my baby and I feel bad that he is upset when we leave. I don't understand why though because he has his brother Chubbs with him all day. He is my old boy and I guess I will just have to live with shredded carpet in my bedroom, we are the only ones that see it..

thanks... I don't think I have the heart to put him a crate!! He would not know what was happening, and the little one would be roaming around. He is on dermaxx for arthritis, how good would that be on his joints. My husband and I work all day so taking him with us in not an option. My daughter is ususally home an hour or two before we get home, but up to that point he is destructive. I do believe he is not comfortable being left alone at this age. I don't know how much time he has left with me, I want him as happy and secure as I can. He was my first dog and I have had him since he was 7 weeks old. Never chewed anything except his vast array of toys since he's been a puppy! He's just decided to move on to bigger and better things I guess. At the last vet visit, the vet told me he has the teeth of a 2 year old! I give them lots of bones and things to chew on...it definately helps them..thanks for the advice I never crate trained which was bad.

HELP!!!! I don't know if anyone has experienced this or knows of someone who has that can help me, I don't know what to do!! My Scrappy is a yellow lab and he is going on 13 years old. I also have a chocolate lab, Chubbs who is 4. Everytime we leave the house and the two are left alone, I have come home to find my box spring, to my bed shredded!! My daughter was home and in her room, heard this noise, and went in a caught him in the act, while Chubbs the baby was laying on top of the bed watching. So, I proceeded to duct tape the box spring and barracade that side of the bed so he could not get at it. Then came home another day to find that he has dug his way through my wall to wall carpet, straight through the rug, pad, to the wood subfloor. Everyday they are alone I come home to find more and more of my rug shredded!! I mentioned this to the vet and they gave me some medication that I had to pick up at my pharmacy, I'm sorry I cannot remember the name right now, but it people meds that help with depression. Well, I put him on them, with some hesistation, did not notice any difference in his behavior, the med bottle stated it could take 4 weeks before you notice a difference. I called the vet and he told me to take him off them. he would prescribe something else. Big mistake!! they should have told me to ween him off the pills, well withdrawal symptoms are not a fun thing to watch...I was horrified, watching my poor baby look like he was having seizures every 5 minutes. The vet told me it is seperation anxiety because of his age, gave me ACE!!! First pill, within minutes he went to get up and was falling down, walking sideways...that was it with that!!!! Does anyone have humane suggestions!!!!Desperate.

:( bEST WISHES TO JESSIE!! My Scrappy is going on 13, yellow lab and I pray everyday that he just passes in his sleep, because I could not bear having to put him down, thank God he is healthy today! He is my first baby and the my other baby Chubbs (brown Lab) is quite attached to him. Chubbs is going on 4. I think will all the taunting and aggreviating he has done to poor Scrappy over the years has kept him young at heart. We will keep Jessie in our prayers...

:WTF: excuse the language....I am surprised I didn't get a phone call from the prison... to bail your arse out!!! You should have let Asim out and then said, you want vicious I'll give you vicious..... then Asim would have went over there and probably licked her!!! She sounds to me like she needed someone to tell off, and X was the one!! :agrue: I have to give you credit for listening to her rantings for 15 minutes before you took the kid gloves off.!! God help us all, Ro, needs to be put with Patty in the doghouse.

I have two labs and they have full rein of my bed. They sleep with my husband and I am on the couch!! My husband is always telling me to kick them off, but I can't they are used to being close to us, especially my chocolate lab, who goes as far as lying his head on your neck!! I love it!!
