Someone realized not to mess with the rabbit

Someone realized not to mess with the rabbit

To give context to my little brother he’s very autistic and he has a pet rabbit not any rabbit a “Continental Giant” and to give contacts my brother’s been having this rabbit for a long time and this rabbit hates everything except my little brother so cujo doesn’t mess with the rabbit much because the rabbit is 10 times bigger than him cujo scared of that cujo decided today when my little brother was feeding the rabbit to stick the his head into the cage to try to eat the rabbit’s food because any food that he sees you will try to eat and the rabbit saw it and kicked him in the face he wasn’t like hurt bad or anything but now he’s knows not to mess with him

Name Change

Hello I am a new basset hound owner. Some people I know were re-homing him and knew I was looking for a dog after my blue heeler passed at a young age a few months ago. I have had him for almost two weeks now, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog. I am thinking of changing his name, but he is 2 and a half so I don’t know if its a good idea. One thing I read said that it might be good to change his name because his first home was in a domestic violence situation, and the article said he could associate his current name with bad memories. I have always changed my dogs names after adopting them, but I have never had a basset hound so I was just wondering how attached to his name he could be and how difficult it would be to change it.

Adult basset keeps peeing indoors overnight

Adult basset keeps peeing indoors overnight

We love our boy, Linus. He’s an amazing brother to our child, he’s the best boy ever. That being said, for a few months now, more or less, almost every night he will wander the living room and urinate on one of our rugs.

We take him out before we go to bed, and immediately when we get up. Between my partner and my sleep schedule he’s usually only left alone for maximum 5 hours.

Does anyone have any suggestions, tips? We’re considering getting a dedicated pee pad.

Basset pup growing up…?

So my basset is 14 months now. Up until this point he has off and on been a bit of a terror (as expected!) but over the last few weeks there has been what feels like quite a sudden shift – he is a classic basset couch potato…!

He has always been that way inclined in the evening, but during the day he would be a ball of energy, getting into mischief. But now its like…if he is in the house, he’s sleeping!

In fact, for the first time ever yesterday, we went to the pub and he actually lay down and rested! Wasnt alert and going crazy to say hello to everyone. (apart from one jumping up on a waiter incident haha!)

I definitely always dreamed of this day, but is 14 months quite young for this?! I thought we were in for the terror stage for at least 2-3 years…!

He still hates being left on his own…but yanno, small wins! 🙂
