Finally had to break my heart and rehome Teddy for Jilly's sake, and really, for Teddy's too. She deserved far better. |
Interesting technique with the soft muzzle, thank you for sharing. Unfortunately there's no other dog I could try it with at the moment but I will keep it in mind..
I keep thinking that having another puppy could have helped my Mike but now reading your Jilly's experience with the little one broke my heart. Poor baby how stressed out she must have been during those weeks(( I can imagine it was difficult for you at the time to let Teddy go but you made a decision for the good of both dogs.
