What a great story you got to tell about simba and it's really an interesting one

I know you would've written him a diary if things like social media, smartphone... We're advanced during his time like our time. He looks like a miniature chow chow to me ( I call them puffy lion) lol

You really had a wonderful pet truly shocked

Thanks...and yes I so did.
Ooh, I miss that little "man"...
Yes.. Pom's do favor the Chow's....perhaps there's an ancestral link somewhere....
Simba was nothing but a fur ball....When we'd get his hair cut down...he didn't even look the same!
Anyone can see the love and care you have for your "boys"... (and best of all "they" know it).
That's why I felt compelled to mention you....and encourage you to continue doing what you are doing for them...
Dog lovers get it.....
Thank you for allowing me a chance to honor him....cause I've never done that on a public forum before.

Funny enough I own a boerboel and a German shepherd
But their girls...

Brandy the boerboel is the patient one.

While MJ the GSD is the not so patient one lol.
Training her has almost been impossible...

I thought GSDs were the smartest dogs lol

Here's a funny picture of them playing
They're both 2years old +

Lol training isn't always as easy as it seems to be o though you've nice pets just that the picture looks kinda blurry

Taking pictures of dogs is a very difficult thing to do but maybe you should try and take a better pic of them together, I know it'll be cute

Wow you'll keep on missing him because one forgetting a pet he/she ever had is sometimes impossible.
Thanks for the compliments you're really a dog lover

**Happy Sunday from Murphy and Gustaf**


Sunday is a free day so i spend more time with my boys than any other day. To me taking pictures of these dogs is a hubby so i do that any time i get their attention/feel like snapping them.

They always follow me to anywhere i go to lol, to them they're following their master and i even love it wink

Most Sundays i turn down calls from friends to hang out because i enjoy the company Murphy and Gustaf gives me than that of my friends

As of the change in appetite and and body, I'll monitor everything then if it's that serious by tomorrow or next I'll call in my vet

Yesterday murphy had serious running stomach, so bad that he couldn't stand normal or walk around the compound as usual

For a moment i thought of giving him deworm tabs or getting some medication from the vet but today when i returned from church, he was up again and playing with Gustaf his partner and the other dog(kimbo)

Gustaf on the other hand seems to be getting lean again lately, maybe it's because I've been kinda busy these days so they didn't get enough care they've been getting from me, just don't know watup

Yikes...might've been something that they ate (food or an object that isn't food) perhaps?
Cause food poisoning is no joke...I tell you.
You may need to monitor them a little more closely though to see what may be different.
You don't want your boys sick....
They're gonna be alright....just try and give the usual care to them when you can...

Most times you actually have the answers to ur questions.

Feeding dogs raw meat is not advisable... make sure you boil them no matter how tired you may be.

I remember why humans are adviced not to eat raw meat (cos of worms... especially tapeworms)


Nice job you are doing with Murphy and Gustaf smiley

You maybe right because the stool was kinda watery showing that the running stomach was so bad

I really have to give them more time... Thanks

The bolded is true if we redefine "RAW"
Oyibo raw meat has been treated and contains additives....

https://m.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/5-mistakes-people-make-when-feeding-pets-raw-food-diet

Oyibo's raw meat or Fish is not same as ours. Abeg even if na to "parboil" just make sure all raw meat u are giving Gustav and Murphy passes thru heat.
Re: Murphy the Boerboel and Gustaf the German shepherd by vincentjk(m): 10:26am On May 01, 2018
I made some research to realize the danger about feeding raw without properly treating the meat so I'm having a change of mind already

Bought some meat for the boys this morning and I'm currently boiling them

Thanks for the advice boss i appreciate

Obedience training is one of the most difficult yet necessary thing to teach a dog because they'd learn, respect and listen to commands without much stress

Murphy and Gustaf during a training session this morning

I also let them know their place and role to play, Murphy is the alpha male, gustaf is the baby boy while I'm the pack leader lol cheesy

Training a dog can be Really difficult
Consistency is also important

It's worth the stress tho

Yes, the most difficult part is the ability to assemble the dogs and then take pictures

So difficult but only pet owners will understand though
