You can buy Frosty Paws in Oz

I spotted these in Coles while I was shopping today. For my Aussie followers you can probably buy them - but $4.99 for a pack of 4? I don't think so!

I just bought a massive jar of peanut butter instead for the same price. I will make the puppies frosty paws when it is cold enough, but for now I think they would prefer warm treats!

Barbie was very unhappy about being in her crate last night and howled from 10.45 (when she lost interest in her Kong) until past midnight, and then started up again at 4.30am.

I took them to the park at 9, but didn't take any photos because I was feeling too sleep deprived to handle both dogs and a camera as well. Barbie tried to get a Great Dane to run. He was a particularly big Great Dane and galloped like a horse in slow motion. His owners were stressing because he wasn't meant to run too much. Barbie was running at his shoulder and poking him with her muzzle. She barked a little too. I think she was trying to get him to run faster, but I'm not sure he could!

Everyone at the park knows Bender's name. His habit of giving his ball to strangers has won him some friends, but others are not backwards in telling him to go away. Not that he listens to them!

I had a bit of a nap today to prepare for another night of whining!

Shame about Barbie and the crate. I was going to suggest covering it. Beryl loves her den, but I guess if Barbie gets claustrophobic it's no good trying that. Hope there is an improvement tonight. Can you take her for a walk later in the afternoon and try and tire her out closer to bed time? Good luck!

I always walk them in the evening, but she should be exhausted tonight, cos they had a run at the park and I've been keeping her awake. I was making dinner and came out and she was curled up in there, so I think she's getting the idea. I'm going to try giving her more blankets tonight to snuggle in to.

I'm sorry about the howling! That is so not fun! We had many a foster who kept up awake at night in the crate. Is she crated in your bedroom? If she's not, that might help. If she is, get yourself a squirt bottle. It won't hurt her any, and most hounds do not like it. That and maybe you need to make yourself about three Kongs, so you can keep tossing loaded ones in at her! lol

hahah I think I'm just going to get ear plugs! her crate is in the lounge room which is where she usually slept with Bender. I think she would be happy to be in the bedroom, but then Bender would keep me awake knocking on the door!
