A couple questions...
My mom's new dog Riley is doing pretty well. He's a really great dog, and really well behaved...well, besides his digging. He digs up my mom's garden and she's a little frustrated with it as she put a lot of money into her garden (she really loves it...?) Anyway, I told her he doesn't know any better right now and she'll have to work on him some. Is there something dogs don't like that can be put in the garden to keep him out? What about a "sandbox" of some sort that is his so he can dig all he wants in it...Do you think that might help? I understand that some dogs just like to dig...so I guess this way he could still dig without causing trouble?
Also, he has had diarrhea...I believe pretty much since he has come home. Any idea what is best to help with that? he barely eats his food. He will eat it if you mix a little hamburger in with it (but he had the diarrhea before that) It makes it really hard to clean up from the yard and I imagine it's not so comfortable for him either...
I'm taking care of him for a few days while my mom is away. He's a great dog :) I'll post more pictures of him later on.
