Very nice group you have there and hopefully they are doing well with the new pup. If you find the secret to get the dogs to fetch and no chew all the fuzz off the ball, I would greatly appreciate it. The pups love to run and love to get the ball, but haven't figured out the "give" part of it yet. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we did is gently tap or rub their nose and when they released it, we immediately threw it again and they began to realize giving it means they get it right back.

She had the dog on a leash, was checking the mailbox, the dog pulled, and down she went. Lay there until the neighbor spotted her.

TheSwissAquarist Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 I really should post more fish stuff (apologies!) but Voltaires Candide ou l’Optimisme is giving me grief. Coming to schools near you @Aiden Carter, be careful! For now it’s going to be a little pic of Pippa, who has turned out to be quite a nice dog 🐶! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking to f my shotcrete airstone fits inside of the sponge filter. Might also need an air pump 😬! Priority is this tank: Which is an utter eyesore and disappointment. It’s probably get the larger of the 2, and some decos I got for Xmas. The end goal is a Apisto breeding tank, or GBRs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a look on page 1–3 of this journal, I expect you will see my last attempt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stared at the corydoras for a solid ~30-45 minutes this morning just watching them wake up. Do you happen to have any moss handy?
