    sudden aggression :(

    They did a stool sample to check for bleeding but didn't find anything. His wrists aren 't swollen at all, the movement is restrictive our vet said that normally the pads of the toes can touch the back of the leg in a dog without arthritis but bentleys can only go to about a 90 degree bend...

    sudden aggression :(

    Went to the vet yesterday and he thinks it might be due to severe arthritis in both front wrists so we are going to try pain management for a week and if he still bites after that the vet said we don't really have any other options - we can help the pain if it is on the outside but he said there...

    sleigh runners

    thank you Rhinestone, i think with what everyone has said we probably will skip the runners. i wish we had an indoor arena that was doable for driving but no such luck in our area. I can see how you would get tired of the walls though.
