He was about 6 month or so when we got him. He was a starved stray that was dumped near my mom's work. When no one claimed him after two weeks she was supposed to take him to the county pound. She felt horrible and couldn't do it and ended up bringing him home. The elderly lab we had the time thought it was awesome (so did us kids). He was the most intelligent dog I have ever known and very independently minded. He was a definite problem solver and the best friend/protector a kid could have. He was incredibly patient with me and my crazy ideas. He was pretty stand-offish around people and made people nervous when they came over because he'd lay on his pillow in the corner of the room and stare at them the entire time there were there. The one time a neighbor/friend of my mom's walked two steps into my room to hand me something he barked once or twice then put himself between me and him calmly physically pushed him out of the room by walking into his legs (he was 96 pounds). We always used to joke that he didn't trust us not to fall over our own two feet if he wasn't there to keep an eye on us. Sorry for the long comment in reply to this. Just your dog's face just remind me of him so much. Sometimes he had the same folded down ears, but usually one ear stood upright like shepherd's and the other ear bent over sideways. I randomly stopped on this post, because that dog looked like one I had about 10 years ago. I happened to read what you wrote and it was pretty eerie, I too had a German Shep/ Great Dane mix as a kid. It too was the smartest dog we have ever owned, AND my parents used to tell a lot of stories about how he would get between me and strangers. This was a legit chills moment for me.

Feliway helps! I have also found a calming chew that I crumble into their wet food and even a liquid homeopathy version for nervous stressed cats that I put into their water. It's tasteless and seems to help a lot. Much less meowing at night! But yeah any major pet store has all kinds of things you can try! Oh and I know this sounds silly but their first two weeks I played on my IPad this "cat calming music" on Amazon Prime all night. I swear that works too..good luck! Thanks to all for great suggestions. Its been working well for the most part, thankfully. Havent tried the music yet but based on last night I may indeed need to add that to the repertoire. He got into my shelves of herbs, looking for cat nip no doubt, but he found lemon balm which prolly gives a similar effect as its so closely related. He got hyper! And that was after sending all the jars crashing to the floor. Heres hoping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Quinn and Barely melt my heart! *************** I believe that my guy has his first crush on the neighbours cat, lol. My indoor cat Beaker was in my arms on the back porch when the neighbour out door cat came to say 'hi.' This was Beakers first encounter with an animal since he moved in with me at 11 weeks old. I'd had a few hints that he desired animal companionship, but of course he was afraid. I held him tight and bent down as the cat gently approached. Beaker didnt know what to think. His ears were back and he was trying to push away from me. And at the height of his anxiety she kissed him. Thinking that was enough excitement for one day I took him inside. After a brief moment of care and attention he asked to go back out. I checked out window and she was gone, so we went back out. Upon seeing she was gone he asked to go back inside! Here he is now, sniffing at the air in the draft for any glimpse of her! And he's also guilting me with his glare and pleading for a 4th trip out to see her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlingrl03 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Awww, thanks @soon! They are pretty darling boys..... Oh Beaker, you are quite a handsome guy! Yeah it took Barley and Quinn at least a full month before they became best buds. It was a slow process. You never know how two young cats who have never met will get along together. I lucked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I wish I could take better pictures of him. Seems to me that Quinn and Barely lucked out themselves. And had great support settling in! PS: Beaker wants to check back porch for his crush many times a day. Its the new first thing that happens when I wake up, lol! Even in some rain today.

soon Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 As far as cats go, mine is really smart: He takes a keen interest in all things gardening including when I feed my seedlings. Then I came across this. Could it actually be the case that he fed my seedlings intentionally?! Can't imagine how much effort was put into not chomping up the pieces. Probably delivered them one at a time. Coincidence? Or did he mean to give nutrients to my seedlings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post willl Posted June 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2018 My best pal Elliott, he comes with me on all my adventures. He's 11 years old now but he still jumps up when he knows its time for his walks. We have to take it a bit slower these days due to his age, and I've had to upgrade our accommodation to AirBNB because I don't want him being cold in a tent 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post soon Posted July 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2018 This big boy will be 2 in late August, but his kitten ways don't seem to be changing any time soon. This morning I got up early and he was so thrilled that he sounded like a malfunctioning R2 D2! His head movements as he vocalized made his front paws slide to from under him. Then he settled into this - what kinda face is that?! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
