Liam

@Aravona Better now I have my glasses!

Aravona

@Liam oh dear!! Work seems better today, which is good. Maybe it's the free food, or the fact Blaze is feeling better :)

Liam

He needs another bath...

I've no pics on my PC so that'll have to do until I can sort some. Cant use the chat on the Work PC either

Liam

13:04

@Aravona Aw, he's cute

I think we might be getting another dog

soemone in stephs work's parents died leaving behind a dog

I'm not clear how I ended up in this situtation o_O

Aravona

13:24

@Liam ooh inherited doggies... Our last was one of those, she was a lovely mongrel, a true mongrel as no one had any idea what she was

Blaze is mostly at the moment very nibbley.

He has puppy classes but are now looking at puppy training classes too

Liam

@Aravona Should try and suppress that. Fester's a pain about your hands

He's obsessed about them sometimes you have to tell him off to get some peace

Aravona

13:44

@Liam yeah we already have been and he was getting really good until my friend let him bie her hands and play tug of war with her jumper... Despite being told gentle play only.

We yelp at him and turn away when he does it, and he's learning No Bite as a command, slowly

But puppy training will go over bite inhibition too

Liam

@Aravona We have a girl come and walk fester twice a week who's a dog trainer. she said tug of war is fine (a lot people think it's bad) so ling as he doesn't get aggressive in any way.

Aravona

@Liam the advice for small breeds is no tug of war, especially with his puppy teeth! When his teeth fall out and he gets his adult ones then maybe we will let him, but not on people's clothes!!

Liam

@Aravona ha ha

true, true

Aravona

She was letting him rip at her jumper, now he bites my sleeves all the time. So he has to learn not to now, I almost regret letting her visit

He's been a dick every since she did, and unwell because he tried peanut butter...

Still :) he's getting the hang of Sit.

Liam

@Aravona LOL

Aravona

13:54

@Liam :) he's a smart sod. His nickname is Little Arse

Liam

@Aravona Festers nickname is "idiot"

Aravona

@Liam LOL dogs eh?

Liam

@Aravona I am somewhat attched to das hunde

He's not really mine

Steph had him before we met

Aravona

14:18

@Liam aww. He is thoroughly adorable though

How long have you and Steph been together, if you don't mind me being so nosey?

Liam

@Aravona about 2 years

I think

2.5 maybe

She got him a couple of months before we met

She'd come back from Canada and was back living with her parents so was upset and bought an expensive dog to make herself feel better!

Unfortunately that meant he spent his early months getting treated like a baby

He was very confused when I tried to stroke him instead of cuddle him

He now loves a back rub....

Aravona

@Liam awww, bless! That's often how pups can get confused. Blaze gets a healthy dose of cuddles and stroking. If you sit on the floor he'll come sit in your lap

One thing from puppy class was to get new people to touch him all over, ears... Tail... Feet...willy!!

Liam

@Aravona He also loves a belly rub

Aravona

14:44

@Liam belly belly belly!

Blaze likes... Just to sit on your lap.

I think then he thinks you can't leave lol
