    What great info KrystieLove! I was sort of hoping she would know the best way of coping for herself. She has been clipped before. We can't have her hair (fur?!) getting too long as it just ends up with lots of burrs etc in there, and sometimes she can't see though her face! I trim her here myself but its hard to get it right all the time and she gets dreads too .

    She is a little bit bored, we shipped her pal Tyson off to dp's place as he is getting really old and needed to be pensioned off to the country, and her friends next door just moved to WA.

    I think the main reason I think she is a twit is because I thought she hopped out of the car with the kids 2 nights ago when we got home from a night swim, but she didn't. She SAT there in the hot car (windows up), didn't bark to get out or anything. It's only when I realized I couldn't hear her trumpeting snores that she was gone. I'd hate to think what could have happened to her if I didn't click.

    She was beautifully trained but I let it go a bit with babies coming along, then she developed some Staffy habits due to living with 2 of them.....thats why I think she takes on the big dogs...she thinks she IS one .

    My dog isn't drinking either, fool!! lol. I don't know what his problem is. I think he should be drinking more in this hot weather. And he doesn't need to go out to pee all day either. I have to chuck him out and make him!! lol

    Ok, spoke too soon!! My dog has just come to his senses, he just did the cutest thing!!

    I heard him making the growly/whingy frustrated noise he makes like when his ball is trapped somewhere he can't get it or something. So I went out to see what he wanted and he was sitting looking at the bathroom door. So I open the door and he runs to the bath and jumps up with his front paws on it looking at me, lol. So I lifted him in and turned on the cold water and he had a big drink and wet his feet and then stood there and let me splash some water over him.

    What a clever puppy, I swear he can communicate better than some people!!
