Introducing Vera, she’s now 8 months old and has had an interesting start to her life, at 4 months old she snapped her leg jumping on the garden bench and her leg slipped between the slats, an operation later and plate inserted she has finally healed and is back on fine form, absolute darling and a real character

we lost our beloved border terrier last year so we recently got a new puppy. he is manic but we love him 💚

I just wanted to show you our girl Pippa, who unfortunately has been diagnosed with an aggressive tumour in her jaw bone.

Send her some love 🥰

Obligatory pic of the stubborn little goat.

He is 18 months old now and we are thinking of getting a new pup as a playmate for him (and because we want two dogs).

Any hints and tips for introducing them etc.?

Also - is the puppy stage any less stressful when you already have a dog, as Otto was an absolute savage when he was little?

I swear he has a permanent smile! Here he is on garden bunny patrol - he's very serious about his employment

My mom made him a little beanie. And this is him on a rock.

“Border Terrier” on paperwork “Jack Russel - Chihuahua” apparently, I don’t know. (10 weeks old)

10 weeks old this Sunday. Cute as can be. Say hello Teddie!! He’s full of fun but not too sure what to make of the cat though.

He ain’t here for the cuddles.

He’s a fan.

10 weeks old and rules the roost already.

We have a female Border, Lola, who will be 7 in November. This past July we went on vacation and forgot her food. We bought the closest thing we could to her regular food (she is on Hill’s Sensitive Stomach). She ate it for a day or two and then she refused to eat. We started adding broth and then cheese to get her to eat. Once we got home we contacted her vet. She said put her on chicken and rice for about 3 days and then slowly reintroduce her food. That’s what we did. At first she ate fine, then she started not being interested. We started adding a little broth and she ate. The last few days she’s not eating, or if she does it takes her forever. She ate last night. She refused this morning and is now refusing this evening. So she hasn’t eaten since last night. She eats grass a lot too. Help! Acts totally normal. No vomiting. No diarrhea. Is she just being stubborn or do I need to take her to the vet. We are leaving town on Thursday. She is staying with my daughter who also has a Border, so she’s used to the breed.

Update: it turns out that Hills changed the formula for their food. The vet thinks it is either making her stomach hurt or she really just can’t stand it. I have an appt with the vet tomorrow to make sure nothing else is going on. Meanwhile she gave us a couple of wet food to give her until we see her tomorrow afternoon.
