Smudge I saw something similar to that Orafresh at Petsmart that you add to their water. We got the spray for on the spot treatment lol but it doesn't work too well. :lol: HaHa Caro! As much hair as he has I don't think you could fit anything on him, maybe one of our tshirts! My little sister...

He is so mellow as he is I bet my daughter could dress him up in baby doll clothes and he would not budge! :lol: Bathing him is a pleasure because he just stands there and lets you manipulate and maneuver and scrub and blow dry and brush and...well you get the point lol. When we picked him up...

Jenny, I must say that I am very happy you found the time to chime in! Your words are so very encouraging and I am thrilled that all of you feel that way! After he inched his way up to me last night and started licking my hand I knew that I did not want to give up on him just yet. He may need a...

The hubby said he FOLLOWED him out of the bedroom this morning!!! He went and laid in his crate but hey, he dared to trod on the floor of Thompson and thats MAJOR!!! :lol: He said when he put food in his bowl he went right to eating and drinking!!! :eek2: We might get him to come around after all!!!

Ya'lls dedication brings tears to my eyes!!! I think we are finally taking baby steps...after last night...and I must stress the BABY part lol. He has been checked out by two vets in the last week and both have came up with nothing. Urine test, blood test, temperature, everything looks normal...

Thanks guys! My hubby got him to eat and drink by putting his food dish outside of his kennel and then setting him on the floor. Safe to say he was probably fed in his kennel before and might have been part of the problem. He has been watching us move around the house a bit this evening and when...

I hate to say this, but does anyone think we should try to get our money back and give him back to her? I don't want to take that route, but I don't want him to be unhappy with us and she said he enjoyed being with all of the other dogs there, maybe he should stay with them? Just want whats best...

He has not had a poo since we got him, I assume from not really eating. But thats kind of our fault I guess, he eats so long as we put it right in front of him! We just figured that he would eventually go eat on his own.

Smudge-we actually live in Bossier City so its right there. Lol the most I have ever won is like 250 off of a 20 after that I was done! He eats as long as we bring the food to him, we will just have to start bringing it to him on his perch on the couch I guess. Its like he is afraid of...

Ashley-I am so glad that I am not the only one that finds his behavior alarming and abnormal. She told us before we got him that he was a mellow dog to begin with so we were prepared for mellow lol but not quite like this! I do know that he was raised primarily outside with the other males she...

That was my concern exactly! I have dealt with some bad cases and never have I seen this kind of behavior, but everything came back normal sooooo....hopefully he will start coming around soon. I guess it really worried me because he doesn't even seem interested in trying to adjust which is...

Ok, our vet seems to think everything is in working order, which is good. He told my husband that Shelties are generally timid by nature with strangers and unfamiliar territory. He said he would give him another week or two before really worrying. But for now, everything seems normal. He does...

Calliesmom we are in the Shreveport/Bossier area! How far are you from us? Thanks so much for all the warm welcomes!

By the way Megansmom I just noticed that you are from Kingwood, TX. We are originally from Beaumont, which I do not think is all that far. How far are you from the Shreveport/Bossier, Louisiana area?

Those are all some great ideas! Megansmom, Hollywood is 18 months old. I can try to find someone with a dog to come over and visit, unfortunately we cannot have one of his old buddies come over, we drove five hours to go get him! But any friendly dog should work just fine I would think. The...
