    Incoming, prepare for Bulldog thread takeover.
    Looked at this 4 week old puppy at the weekend, just said we’ll take him.

    So this little cutie just learned how to use the potty bells. This is both good news and bad news for us. She now tells us when she needs to go out to the bathroom, but she also learned that bells = power. She rings them so that she can get us to get up to go out with her, over and over again. 20190805_211253.jpg 20190805_210207(0).jpg

    Cheers all, taken us a long time to decide on whether to get another one or not but a house isn't a home without slobber dripping from the ceiling :)

    Potty bells? All this time I never heard of them. I knew about Pavlov’s dog and its bell.
    I don’t think I’ll start though.

    Nice fish tanks, did enjoy the fish tank street in Ho Chi Minh. Vietnamese love a fish tank.
    Last time in Vietnam all I bought was $2.60 worth of rocks for the fish tank. Misses thought I was crazy ::screwloose:: buying rocks overseas ( would have paid $100 in Australia )

    Have done a Iwagumi style tank similar to below a few times ( but too much work when I go away for work a bit in the last few years )

    Hi Al,
    Thank you. I know exactly how you feel about your Cockatoo. I don’t know if you remember when I was living in Saudi there was Ziggy and Nelson a very talkative African Grey. I had Nelson before Ziggy and Ziggy grew up with him, frequently going into his cage and playing with him as his cage was always open when I was home.

    When it came time for all of us to go back home to Vietnam there was no problem with Ziggy but the CITES status had changed from a two to one for Nelson which made it a bit more complicated. After much back and forward between officials in Vietnam and Saudi it finally came down to the fact that the Saudis only had to respond to an email to the Vietnamese officials and all would be good however this appeared to be too hard for them during Ramadan and I had to leave the country without him.

    I haven’t given up as a mate might be going back for work and he can take up the cause.

    Ziggy as a kitten playing with Nelson..

    You train the dog to ring the bell when they need to go potty. It is a bit like Pavlov's dog with the roles reversed. She rings the bells and then I get up.

    Big mistake at my end, wife and daughters are now continually asking if we have more puppy pictures ::facepalm2::

    Oh yes and as old Sandy is deaf and the wee boy doesn't bother what is happening they now think we should also have another dog for security purposes :confused:
    Wonder where that came from ;)
