Tired dogs are usually good dogs. That's what mine always look like in the house.

Very true! She works from home a lot and Libby learned quickly to sleep all morning until I came over for her afternoon walk/play (she walks her in the morning too) then go back to sleep all afternoon until she's done. She's been very good about it. But with the new puppy, Libby was like constantly playing with Franklin so I think that's why it's such a big deal they settled down and slept ha they were trying to keep them quiet during the afternoon and letting them play hard morning and night so they learn but idk if they are still doing that or not. Seems to me playtime at lunch would help them sleep more. But idk. Hah but yeah, I guess Franklin is learning the art of sleeping too lol except it's funny, that blue one was always Libby's so idk if Franklin stole it or if Libby just decided she wanted the new one or what hah
 
I seriously just posted this on a homesteading/farming/giant awesome family&community now FB group I'm on LOL I am evidently desperate :lau

Anybody have any lop rabbits? I really want a rabbit and the lops are just so cute. They had a lot of cute ones at the Fryeburg Fair and I almost bought one when we went this weekend but didn't want to drive one all the way home and/or sneak it in the hotel anyway, preferably Holland Lop, Mini Lop, or French Lop but they're all honestly adorable.
 
I think Gator might be starting to have some problems with his jaw :(

I thought he just didn't like this food or was being picky (which could also be) but my dad was noticing when he gave him a can last night he was just licking at it and did eat it but he usually gulps it down in one or two bites. Also he went back for his kibble a day later (last night) after it was softer (had put olive oil and some immune boost supplement stuff on it. He's weird, hates fish, loves olive oil). Also I gave him a water buffalo horn a few days ago and he didn't even touch it and hasn't been interested in one of his old cow hooves my dad found either. I cam understand not wanting the old one but to not want to try a new thing I got him that he's never had before? Not even a couple chomps or licks? :(

We knew this might come and he eventually might start having jaw problems but when he first got it like a year ago he hasn't had any issues so I thought maybe he never would. Has had plenty of other issues (skin infections, repeated eye infections, etc.) but I thought maybe we were just lucky with the jaw thing.

I really hope it is not his jaw though and it's just a fluke so I will try other kibbles first but I know I am likely just being overly hopeful and optimistic and/or in denial. But the good news is it doesn't seem too bad yet and his mouth isn't locked shut yet (read some dogs can only open it a certain distance) so I think for now softening his food will work. But I do think we need to talk to the vet again. Maybe he could go back on steroids, read that can sometimes reverse it or prevent it from getting worse. But I'm not sure it's worth it or fair to him cause he also has a bad knee and hips and his head is so caved in and eyes so sunken in now :(
