Was giving the boys instructions on how things will be managed in our home this afternoon, thought they didn't understand my words but they got the message i passed

They later got fed up and tired of listening to my boring talks but they won't dare stand up or leave the premises until I'm done with them

Murphy will be like "oga talk sharp sharp mak i Como here abeg sleep dy worry me"
Gustaf (in the second pic) be like: yawn hunger dy wire me, me i wan chop o
Me: try am na if dem born una well cheesy

I don't just know If gustaf is dark sable or grey.. All i know is that my dog is sable, he keeps increasing in height and getting longer every month, he's currently 10months old and I'm happy to announce the recent improvement in "guarding the territory" at least he now confidently barks at strangers though not with full confidence yes.

yes unlike Gustaf, Murphy got nerves to face anyone he finds as an intruder. I know with time Gustaf will change just as Murphy did when he was almost 2yrs old

The pic below was taken some months back when my friend visited, i told Murphy to attachk him just to make him shiver a little ( Murphy was chained up so he wasn't gonna bite him)

Yes gustaf is still growing thou everything has to do with feeding, I even got them some chicken yesterday and it's still inside the fridge

I'm trying to create a first aid treatment kit for Murphy and Gustaf so that cleaning minor wounds won't be stressful anymore. I am neither a doctor, a medical personnel nor was i a science student but at least dressing little bacterial wound maybe before calling the vets isn't a bad idea for me at all.
I got the following from the pharmacy;

Hydrogen for washing dirty wound
Methylated spirit
Violet paint popularly called "GV"
Iodine
A sachet of cotton wool
Ampiclox ( not in the picture)

Happy Sunday everyone, today is Sunday I'm free so just felt like spending sometime with my boys.

Murphy in the first picture looks sad, yea, and that's because i gave gustaf a chicken leg to eat though he tried collecting it as the alpha male but i instructed him to stop. That made him so moody that he didn't even wanted smiling at all

In the second picture, I tried doing anything possible just to see Murphy smile smiley so i carried him up the truck, teased him a little then asked him to pose for the camera... Boom he's already smiling cool wink

Sunday pictures... Murphy is still moody lol, well since Gustaf arrived he's been claiming senior ( that's what i noticed) though they don't growl at each other except when food is served. In fact Murphy and Gustaf have never fought before, I try my best building the relationship between the both to become stronger and not failing to teach Gustaf what's called RESPECT for his senior/elder bro

Was dressing my coconut this evening, trying to get the shell off and Gustaf came out from no where requesting to to be given his share ( as if we contributed money together for it lol ).. I refused giving him any because my plan was to soak garri with my coconut but this boy wouldn't allow me, gave him a little of it then sent him away so i would enjoy my garri and coconut

Lol but sending them away doesn't mean they'll be gone o.

Though sometimes I'd chase them away depending on my mood and the kind of food it is

Brother,
I've wanted to comment on your updates...but have decided to back up...cause I don't want you thinking the wrong thing about who I am or what I desired in this thread.
If you weren't thinking any of this, please disregard all that I have written here. But I feel I need to address this so others won't think the wrong thing.
I think culturally, how Americans interact with people is different from Nigerians.
I converse with folks....black, white, purple or green....male, female, heterosexual, homosexual or asexual...child or adult.
I like good conversation...plain and simply.
But, I definitely don't want to give the wrong impression, however, that I'm a sugar-momma or something...(since you seem to attract them a lot). Hope you didn't think that cause I'm 100 percent not into "sugar" boys.... smiley
But I was into your "boys".....and I am glad that they, Murphy and Gustav, are doing well though!
However, I'll remove myself (from commenting) and just be a silent observer of them from now on....
Be blessed...

Lol dogs are naturally charmers Infact they'd make you do what you don't want to do out of pitty by looking at their face even

Nop bro he isn't aggressive. Aggression and guard instincts are two different things for me because an aggressive dog wouldn't take any command from the owner, they act out of aggression even when they're supposed to calm down


That also leads to food aggression and controling such dogs won't be easy at all

Murphy has good defensive instincts which means he'd guard his territory well but would comply once i instruct him to STOP.

Murphy kept following me everywhere i go with a sad face so i noticed he was hungry and needed something to taste maybe an appetizer or a piece of meat


We went to the backyard where the fridge is at, i opened it then he began checking for chicken leg immediately knowing fully well i freeze their meat and serve from the fridge direct, Murphy and i have a stronger bond which has been existing for 2yrs now ( ever since i brought him) than to Gustaf

I love Murphy so much that seeing him not getting enough food makes me sad, I can't recall how many times I've given up my meal ( dinner) so that Murphy gets enough food before sleeping, counting/recalling the times I've given up my food for Murphy is something i see as "waste of time" because it has already become our way of life

I later dashed him a chicken leg as an appetizer before evening when dinner will be served.

( I'm currently facing some issues with my account so i will just update using this account for the mean time, this is also my moniker)

you are definitely right. My dog is very aggressive, he doesn't listen to me any time he sees a stranger.he has been DAT way since he was 3 month old.he goes mad any time he sees a stranger.
But I thank God he doesn't have food aggression.That would just be horrible

Re: Murphy the Boerboel and Gustaf the German shepherd by animalhuman: 9:04am On Jun 07, 2018
Feeding our pets one particular type of food on daily basis is not just advisable (for me), our dogs should be fed different kinds of food just the same way we change different meals daily depending on the ones we can afford because i personally believe that "balance diet" don't just work in humans but in dogs as well.


In the image below is a bowl of swallow, this type of swallow is called "elubo" ( a type of food gotten from cassava, which is then processed, dried, grinded into powder form then prepared with hot water just the same way semo is being prepared. While the other stainless bowl contains nsala soup, a type igbo soup popularly known in Nigeria, The one above is prepared with fresh fish, okporo and dried bush meat almost in a pieces form

I sometimes mix the elubo with grinded powdered corn which if prepared by the hausas is known as "tuwo masara" while the Igbos call it "nni oka".


Murphy's favourite soup is nsala maybe because it's spicy and kinda pepperish while Gustaf's favourite is draw soup (okro ogbono mix) it tastes good so nothing to be surprise about.

it is very advisable for dogs to have a balanced diet. feeding them just one type of food every single day is nt right. Except d food contains all necessary nutrients needed by d dog
